Rahm Emanuel Trashed By Bill Moyers ... Go Bill!

On the Bill Maher's Real Time TV show journalist and former White House staffer Bill Moyers trashed Obama's Chief of Staff and the architect of Obama's health care reform Rahm Emanuel.

Moyers said that through Emanuel Obama told "... most out-spoken champions of health care reform to 'Sit down and shut up.' That's what Rahm Emanuel in effect, Chief of Staff at the White House, has told progressives when they stood up as a unit in Congress and said 'No public insurance option ... NO health care reform.'

"And I think the reason for that is" Moyers continued, "... in the time since I was there, forty years ago, the Democratic Party has become like the Republican Party ... equally influenced by corporate money."

"I think Rahm Emanuel, who is a clever politician, understands the money for Obama's re-election will come primarily from the health care industry, the drug industry and Wall Street. And so he (Emanuel) is a corporate Democrat who is destined ... DETERMINED that there won't be something in this legislation, if we get it, that will turn off those powerful interests."

Hello Danny, I have read your blogs about NGC 4594 as have several of my music friends around the globe. One of them, a Brit named Gray Newell, is very keen to do a CD compiling all the band's music, i.e. their unissued tracks and the Smash single. He is assisting a UK label that specializes in music of the 1960s; among the releases the label is about to issue is the Boston Street Union. Here is the email address for Gray:
graynewell@hotmail.com

He has been attempting for some time to track down band members, as his label is quite keen to license this music from the band for a CD release.

Please do contact Gray!

Cheers,
John Berg, a Seattle area music fan
