I missed the Free John Sinclair concert, but I moved to Ann Arbor Michigan a few months afterward. <a href="http://poetryassholes.blogspot.com/2008/06/future-now.html">I had been a teenage member of Sinclair's White Panther Party</a>. I ran into Sinclair often back then. I now live near the town of Sebastopol. A record store in town is owned by another former White Panther. John Sinclair performs there occasionally. I have very fond memories of free Sunday concerts in Ann Arbor, along with the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival and a wild benefit show at the Ypsilanti Carpenter's Hall. It was a fundraiser for another White Panther, Pun Plamondon. Went on to waste five years in a Trotskyist cult before leaving and getting involved in the early punk scene in the midwest. My White Panther experience translated well into the punk culture. Sigh... another trip down memory lane. It was the poster that set me off.... Not about John Lennon, but about John Sinclair.
