But it is the Arts that will sustain us even when the stock market fails and our sons and daughters die in foreign lands. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I figure that I'm somewhere in the middle in terms of technical know-how and understanding. For those who know more than me, I can be entertaining with my mishaps, and remind those with mastery how the rest of us perceive what's happening as we learn. For those who know less than me, I can be encouraging. I am demonstrating how it is possible to continue to learn and apply new techniques toward manifesting creative goals. Technology of all kinds is becoming more available all the time, and can be a useful tool if we choose to use it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The tools that are available to us today have evolved. With a little effort we can overcome our trepidation about technology we're not used to, and begin to use it. I love the fact that I can host (for free) a live radio show that people anywhere in the world can call in to. And people have. They have called my show from Germany, Canada and all around the United States. I have the freedom to schedule shows when I wish, and to produce whatever content suits me, all brought to you by <a href="http://blogtalkradio.com">Blogtalkradio.com</a>. You can participate in the L&#038;BH Network Radio Hour by calling in while it's live (Tuesday nights from 8-9pm, Pacific Coast time), or submitting audio content to me for consideration. You could also start your own radio show by going to Blogtalkradio.com.

Call in radio is a lot of fun, but so is hosting your own tv station. I'm currently doing both. Combining video available from a vast on-line library with original programming, Listen &#038; Be Heard is now producing a <a href="http://www.mogulus.com/listenandbeheard">24 hour tv channel</a>. <a href="http://www.mogulus.com">Mogulus.com</a> offers a live studio over the internet to television producers. This is a great addition to the Listen &#038; Be Heard Network.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to a party and someone asked me "what do you do?" My answer to that question tends to be different every time I give it a whirl. So this time around I said I was a writer, a poet. The next question was inevitable. It doesn't seem to change no matter what my answer to the first question is: "do you make a living doing that?" 

Well, I'm living. Now, I know many of you have had a similar experience. Depending on your personal history and what your "achievements" have been, your emotional response to the question "what do you do?" will shape your answer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have too much it transforms the people around you. If you don't have enough your life can become a tragedy. This system that we were all born into here in America dictates that if you are ambitious about producing and presenting big arts projects you will have to go out with your hat out and ask people, companies, corporations and governments for money, because your work will not have any dollar value on its own. It's time to get away from all that and find a different way to manifest what must be expressed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the whole time that the Olympics were happening in Beijing I kept thinking that what the world needs is an international arts event of the same stature as the Olympics is for sports. When Dizzy Gillespie visited Cuba he gave a concert with a band of musicians who were Americans and Cubans. He commented to a huge crowd of fans that they were demonstrating to their political leaders how it can be done. The way I see it, no matter what the political controversy is that surrounds the Olympics, the fact that all these athletes come together and display their skills and sportsmanship at the heights of human achievement is awe inspiring. Just imagine, if there was a  arts event of the same magnitude, how it would improve the stature and the funding of the arts all over the world. How little kids would pick up instruments, recite poetry, rehearse in state-of-the-art theaters... ]]></description>

I am reading it now and will be speaking with her in a couple weeks. So now is the time to brush up on her history (you can read <a href="http://www.planetauthority.com/AuthorInterviews/anacastillo.html">a previous interview I did with her about "Massacre of the Dreamers" in the PlanetAUTHORity.com archives</a>), and/or read her latest book now, so that you can call in with your comments and questions about the book. I'll post the details of when and where as soon as everything is finalized.]]></description>
