Vloggin' on the Internets

   Bloggin' or vloggin' or floggin' a spiel on the net  is much like buskin' on the street...a lot of potential audience but but you still need to get their attention and maybe only a handful will connect with your music or message... My attempt at a 21st century topical protest song, "Set Poor Julian Free"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRf4OduGCLI is a case in point. I'm still working on a "talkin' blues" style to make up my lack of "musicality" in my "singing." So I know that is definitely a minus in getting people to listen. But "location" is a major factor. Alyona approved my video reply to her broadcast Wikileaks co-founder speaks to Alyona http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sYXppiOteM which helped generate my largest number of hits since "Muddy the Waters."
   But Wikileaks  http://twitter.com/#!/wikileaks didn't respond to my Twitter but they did post a reference to Rap News' excellent news parody, a Hillary v. WikiLeaks music video,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl4NlA97GeQ that helped generate 400,000+ hits, well deserved I must add. Goes to show the power of a mention that directs people to a Youtube video. 
   Philosophy and rights and the human plight go hand in hand. A quote from BiancaJagger http://twitter.com/#!/BiancaJagger
“Not to help justice in her need would be an impiety.” Plato
  Her tweets are an excellent source of relevant human rights issues on a daily basis.
