  • Top 10 Acts to See at the Green River Music Festival
    Top 10 Acts To See At The Green River Music Festival Celebrating 30 years of music, art and fun, The Green River Music Festival will take place this weekend from July 8 – 10 at Greenfield Community College in Greenfield, Massachusetts. It’s a stacked bill featuring a few rock ‘n’ roll legends, folk and soul upstarts and even a handful of local acts. There will be music happening on three stages and everywhere you look there will be something incredible taking place. There are also going to be after parties going on in the heart of the town. For you to know who to check out and when, here are my Top 10 Acts to see this weekend: 10 ) Winterpills (Sunday 1:10pm @ Four Rivers Stage) One of the locals on the list, Northampton, Massachusetts, folk rock act Winterpills have incredible harmonies that stick with you and never let go. When Philip Price and Flora Reed combine their voices beautifully, stunning things happen. The band possesses soothing acoustic-based rock music that has as much power and emphasis as an act that’s fully electrified. I’m excited to see how Winterpills are live, and I know a bunch of others are as well. Check them out to start the last day of the festival off right. 9.) Shakey Graves (Saturday 7:35pm @ Green River Stage) Shakey Graves is the moniker of Alejandro Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas. He brings an authentic brand of rock ‘n’ roll to the forefront by melding folk and blues to create awesome Americana. Rose- Garcia has a one-man band set-up and he has an uncanny ability to captivate an audience in an instant.

History of the Northampton Survival Center The Northampton Survival Center opened in November of 1979 in the Parish Hall of St. John’s Episcopal Church on Elm Street. The initial funding for the Center came from a grant awarded through the Diocese’s Venture in Missions Project. The hard work, vision and dedication required to organize a food pantry came from area members of the religious and social services communities. From the minute it opened its doors, the Survival Center fulfilled a long-standing need: distributing food to people in emergency situations and to help people with low-incomes who require assistance in making ends meet on a short term basis.

Sputtering to the end of the year, it just seems like this country is . exhausted. Between the election and the meltdown, we seem to be alternating between a euphoric optimism about the future and an unfolding concern over what’s w happening in the recent present. Well, I really can’t do much about what’s going on with the recent present, i.e. the economy. I’m spending as much change as I can find in the sofa, as fast as I can. And I can learn as much as I can about the mortgage bundling, derivatives, and credit default swaps that have apparently been the main cause of the bubble bust, but I can’t figure out what I personally could have done to stop these folks from such complex and risky ventures. I kept hearing it: As long as the money’s coming in, the risk is worth it. Yeah, I’ve heard that same logic espoused at the craps table in Vegas. How did it seem to make sense coming out of Alan Greenspan? He sure seemed to be an expert at the time . oh well. Powerless against the “unfolding concern,” I guess I have to turn towards the “euphoric optimism.” Oh yeah! I’m deeply thankful for a new national shift toward policy that benefits the working class.

It was not all that long ago that Pride was a protest and prisoners Blues” from were a key part of the conversation; it is our job to bring mass incarceration of LGBTQ people author Leslie to the forefront of our movement today. While some are celebrating Barack Obama's support Feinberg of same-sex marriage, I encourage us to be skeptical as he deports an unprecedented number of immigrants, expands the use of drone attacks, increases global incarceration, and yet uses same-sex marriage to his own advantage for votes and fundraising. We know better than to be tricked by this - marriage won't lead to anyone's liberation, marriage won't take prison walls down, marriage won't end health disparities, marriage won't find affordable treatments or a cure for AIDS.
