Peaceful Aggression

I have been a dj for 20+ years, music is my passion. Then one day fascists took over my home state of Wisconsin so I decided to fight back. I am not a union thug nor do I blindly support any one political party, but am against the corporatocracy in Wisconsin as well as globally. I grew up in Madison and care deeply about human rights and Democracy. My goal is to inform, educate, provoke and do the job our media is failing to do. I also post humorous stuff and music items too for good measure.
