So, when she was more "idealistic" she was more right wing?

Coat-tails.

An LP by Melvin Van Peebles &, of course, several by Gil Scott Heron, contemporaneous to early Last Poets LP's, open this range of poetry. I vividly recall Gwendolyn Brooks insisting that we pay close attention to Van Peeble's poem/LP cut "Lily Do the Zampougi Every Time I Pull Her Coattails." I can come up with the LP title if you're in need of this detail. Is there a CD or LP of Haki Mahadbuti/Don Lee reading work from the "Don't Cry, Scream" era?

Somehow this rendition (which I recall from way-back) must have some cosmic connection to the huge Elephant-in-the-Room that is the Murican daily fantasy: that ours is a democracy ... and if we'll all just 'vote' ... ... why, the entire hegemony will just Obey. The. Public. Will.

(Cheney will simply sign-over all his military investment proceeds from the WMD confabulation; the other multibillionaires will thereafter do likewise. Because they all be honorable men.) And there are Unicorns.
