Went to the Matt Gonzalez benefit at GAMH last night. Rubber chicken (steak, actually) and a halfway decent show (want more Cake, want more Noe Venable, want more Jonathan Richman). The Po' Poets were there, too. Very KPFA. Reminded me of why I don't listen to KPFA much.
But the evening did convert me from a sort of resigned "guess I'll vote for the not-evil guy" supporter of Matt to an enthusiastic supporter of Matt.
Will he run this city into the ground? Eh, maybe. BUT, he did say that Newsom's campaign was "full of shit" and that they were "fucking liars."
Balls, baby. Need liberals with balls. At least here if nowhere else. I'm tired of Marin and Berkeley "nice guy" liberals quietly losing to every loudmouth with enough money to afford a steamroller.
The meek will inherit the earth, but only when we're done with it, baby. Only when we're done with it.
