You're about the exotic species of humanoid super rich noids today on high towers radio low down I love those nature shows that the behavior and intelligence of birds elephants and other fellow creatures however there is one exotic critter that shows have ignored and is crying out for analysis humanoid super rich annoyed some in this rare species seem like normal homo sapiens as a group the super rich noids exhibit aberrant destructive tendencies in particular an insatiable desire to accumulate boundless personal wealth as if one's net worth is one's true worth they view life as a primal competition to be number one the richest of all Robert Frank and analysts of plutocracy points to the insane competitive zealotry of Larry Ellison the multi billionaire co-founder of Oracle Frank writes that when Ellison learned that a Rebel Billionaire was having a $400.00 foot yacht built a boat one 3rd bigger than a football field Ellison rushed out to get a $450.00 foot yacht toys are one thing but that liberates tend to feel entitled to exploit rank and file workers crush small competitors pay no taxes rip off consumers defraud investors contaminate our environment by elections monopolize markets and demand to be publicly celebrated and I just but when boat these want to be demagogues turn into wimps now that their freakish greed is being denounced by the American majority and politicians of both parties the royals are squealing like pigs stuck in a fence. Their hubris is being openly mocked and I suspect that their whimpering is due to their finally realizing that their bloated net worth can't buy respect and they can't handle that reality this is saying we've got to get back to building a real economy based on the productivity and true genius of America's greatest rich .

In helping to be that that that village and I say as they say the proverb it takes a village to raise a child well we're all part of that village there are a happening to raise children in the south with Little Rock area we are very excited about what we what we are doing we have been doing this now for 8 years helping the youth in the community we do a number of things the older the youth the teenagers we take them to Memphis to the gristly games and we take them to various. Outreach in community events here in the city we're exposed them to to the positive side of life so that they can grow up knowing that that life is bigger than their community that they don't have to just accept anything but they have a big word with that's opportunities for them to be successful and therefore younger children we work with them and making sure that they are academically sound . We focus primarily on all of the ages with focus on reading and math we find that those are the areas where youth struggle the most and we believe if they will learn to read according to their great level then they can do a number of other things that. Are part of the reading structure such as science and history and then math that we focus on math and we believe that math is a perceptible. Skeel for us to have because it teaches how to solve problems and when we learn those problem solving skills then we'll learn to solve problems in our own lives without going to the extreme measures then on top of that we have conflict resolution teaching our youth how to resolve. Click without fighting and without killing one another we know that one point in southwest Iraq gang violence was very high Well when we moved into an area we thank God that we had. A hand in making a change we haven't stopped balance in its entirety but we can truly say that we're not hearing a voice seeing it like we used to so we give glory to God for that but given us to with them oh how to work in the community so we are having this benefit holiday gospel jazz night and this benefit will feature Rodney block because you and her awaits and the gospel group this event will be hail on December the 12th at South all main chef Matt Matthew Bell has opened his doors at the South Pole Maine and allowed us to come in and have a great night of gospel jazz music holiday gospel jazz music and as you've been listening on the.

And you know joining space. So. Why don't you come come out on 30 December 12th and and help us to celebrate. The holiday gospel jazz night. Well Mr Wilkinson revery were considered past work as a wrong. Gospel Jesu minister Jass you've given this is asked for why when did you find your affection for jazz man well found mouth fiction if a jazz as a young child my dad was a big time jazz listener growing up now one thing that that we didn't know how to decipher as and being in the church is that we thought all music was demonic not not realizing and only music was a right means book Gospel Music Well jazz itself it's not demonic music it is music that feeds to soul and calms the spirit and so my dad was a big time jazz listener when I was growing up he introduced us to jazz days to John Coltrane Coltrane send. And many others and I can't call right now but that's that's when it all started I love John Coltrane I did as a saxophonist I didn't really know. Growing up in a church I grew up with a similar idea well you know Fareed and I grew up in domus Dumas. We were I guess pro played with the fact of being from a small town so we'd have access to some of the radio which I had access to here in Little Rock we had a d.d.a. Which is largely just country music into most Arkansas and it was it was am going to be a f.m. Radio I didn't grow up listening to the radio much because it just couldn't stand to listen to it and so the only music I really heard was the music we played at home. Which was largely Gospel and the music that came on t.v. You know there was no jazz offerings on t.v. You know as you guys in Big Bear from Lawrence Welk so I didn't know anything about jazz as it were. As a kid. But I did love saxophone from the age of 8 years old lady Rosie Haynes came to our church and evangelise rose and have him or her and she played saxophone and I fell in love with that intimate at the time and so I grew up playing gospel songs like Amazing Grace and because he lives and. There's a sweet sweet spirit in the hymn Precious Lord and I think I was about 18 when I. Was introduced to. A jazz artist on on cd or actually cassette there was no cd I think Ok and not yet anyway Well it was well there were some say they started but people still do and cassettes and and that was David Sanborn had a song and. Anyway because you know in the church they what we call what they told me was whirling music I mean it was a gospel music it was World Music and it was some time before I would be introduced to a world larger than Thomas for the sick so I will take a break we'll come back and talk a little bit more I just want to play. A song from Marilyn divine Ok well advice from the market on this is give us a sense of some music you'll be hearing on next Thursday night this is if you suffer some people may have never heard the term gospel jazz it's jazz with people who have essentially people with strong gospel roots it's really well it's gone but this is Marilyn divine here in the back I was commodity washing back there but I'm trying to set up so you can listen to a play again and then I'll be back on shortly with the Reverend Wright a witness of locusts and we'll talk about how you can get tickets to this event because we want you to help him raise money. For the b. 2 s. Program it's a beautiful thing to touch our youth and make them stronger rather undervalued play a beautiful people thanks just in here talking to the reverend and I'll bow to music Southwest the southwest of the source of of darkness of the South with Little Rock. Our mayor you know just from Southwest Little Rock is here. As out as I've moved in about Little Rock on most of my you know. Just movement in the city is the center of downtown midtown area down west I seldom admittedly get Southwest literati and what I notice is a lot of people just it's difficult for people to bridge from the south or sort of walk to me even Northern Rock or to the central Little Rock area it's like the communities not necessarily mix and. Sometimes for people who are privileged. In the sense that because we know that a lot of them the wealthier properties are. Located in the central Little Rock area West Little Rock has a lot of times those people don't feel like I feel a need to go into southwest. To experience that part of the culture because we got our definitions and ideas about what you know what makes for a successful person the what makes for a a formidable person we know that this area is rich with people who are have so much potential to have the capacity to not just succeed according to the world standard will succeed in a way that they can introduce to the rest of the world things that we may not even know exist so I appreciate you doing this this program and touching the young people. About how many young people you could probably do the year that you just ran Ok we own a database of we serve up what's to 60 young people a day Ok And we're looking to reach more I would love to serve anywhere but more $90.00 to $100.00 young people a day simply because as you say it there's so much potential and I you and we want to bring out that potential we want them to know that they that they ask great opportunities but them and sometimes whom we in our own communities or we don't see beyond that and we think the little bit that we have a little bit we're doing it's nothing but when you take that little bit in and and and use it in other areas of the city and of life you'll find out that life is much bigger than that and what you have and what you're doing and you are part of that big part of life and that's that's amazing So look people I know you're listing in some of the who listen to this program. You often want to know about this cultural experience so what you can do this is an x. An opportunity for you to get like a 2 for 34 you get great food. Chef Matthew Bell who you know he play saxophone 2 and he may not let you know that but I will put it Ok. Right you block bees you and her away Sr and his and his.
