An Ode to my innocent friend who was shot by police in an injustice here in San Diego where they claim Jacob reached for a toy gun which he used as a theatre prop. Jacob was only 25 and one of my closest friends. To hear some of his stuff, go here

The pump organ he recorded on was over 100 years old! You can't reproduce that sound with any computer program - that's for sure!

my apologies, i have some ..insensitivity towards the conventional perspective of life and death. it's a good ting, really, but many people don't get that...

seems like your friend was asking for it, but who wouldn't.. hell, if the state wants to pepper spray me and hold me at gunpoint for not obeying a dumb traffic signal, then death is preferable to life in every way and at least his death stood for the message.

i can only hope more brainwashed supporters of the american police state will hear of this all too common tragedy and stop being satisfied with the easy answers as to "why things are the way they are."

don't get too salty on it tho.. at least he didn't get shot because he had black skin or was shaking violently from an athsma attack because he was freaked out at having guns pointed at him.

d/ling your song.

(edit: apologies for using this occasion for "my own agenda," such as it is - no stress meant.. things are important.. .....fair recording..)
