It's about recreating community. That's a role that becomes increasingly important in places like NYC, where people's right to gardens, parks, and all other forms of public space is under attack. We've got hiphop kids talking to folks from the radical Puerto Rican poetry scene, and East Village rockers talking to gardeners and squatters and Sister Sheba from the Black Community News Service. All of these people are now allies, and they all represent different constituencies, and they all bring their listeners with them. The chemistry is really beautiful.
People start to relate to each other instead of being alienated as different cultural subsets.
