New Twist On Classic Album
“On September 29, Roger Waters The Wall premiered in nearly 3,000 theaters around the world. The film puts a new twist on Pink Floyd’s revolutionary concept album The Wall, released in 1979.
“Waters sat down with RT correspondent Anya Parampil to discuss the new project, and to air his views on power and the media.
“He also talks about his activism surrounding justice in Palestine, BDS of Israel, and Guantanamo Bay, particularly the release of Shaker Aamer. Waters finally asks: Why are we killing the children?”

Footworkin’ The Billiken
“Once a year, on the second Saturday of August, thousands of Chicagoans descend upon Martin Luther King Drive on the city’s South Side to behold the Bud Billiken Parade, the oldest and largest African-American parade in the United States,” Thump notes.
“Launched in 1929 by Robert S. Abbott, founder of historic black newspaper The Chicago Defender, it’s a celebration of youth and education, traveling down King Drive from 39th Street to 55th and heralding the start of the school year with performances by local dance groups.
“As a showcase for a variety of Chicago dance styles- stepping, bop-ing, drill teams, hip hop, and more – the Bud is also a site of historical importance for Chicago’s footwork scene.
