Booklet and digipak of Blind Gary Davis - Harlem Street Singer cd
The blind Negro street singer is rapidly disappearing from the sidewalks of America. At one time the only course open to a blind man was to adopt the role of the street minstrel as a means of making an honest though frequently meagre-living. But various economic, social and educational factors in American life have tended to destroy such an occupation. The blind man of today is assisted by numerous government and private agencies to achieve technical and other skills necessary to support himself and his family by more socially acceptable means. Governmental ordinances at both the state and local level have outlawed itinerants of all classes - beggars, unlicensed salesmen, and street musicians no longer are free to ply their "trades." Often such ordinances have
been the result of campaigning against noise and nuisances by civic minded groups and individuals, occasionally the driving force behind such moves has been professional musicians organizations and/or unions who seek to protect the livelihood of their members by removing any and all sources of "free" music, which the street musician represents in its epitome. Today, when one comes upon a street singer plying his trade under the eyes of the policeman on the beat, most often he will be heard singing religious music. Public temper will not permit the minions of the law to carry out their duty if it means interfering with religion, the most "sacred cow" in modern American culture.

I recently picked this up at a book sale, haven't got too far into it yet but the clear takeaway from the first chapter is that if you're prepared for a life of indoor shitting and conversational yelling, "adopting" a raven is pretty straightforward to do and very emotionally satisfying

The idea that campus security (whether sworn cops or not) are going to stand up to a bunch of armed, masked feds is even more disconnected from reality than the average academic c-suite pronouncement
