Bonnie Simmons Show, Brenton Wood (b. Alfred Jesse Smith 1941), KPFA, Slim's (San Francisco)

brenton_woodLUMPENPROLETARIAT  GONZO:  If you’re a music lover like me, then chances are you also love R&B, or rhythm and blues.  If so, then you’ve probably heard of Brenton Wood.  Or maybe you’ve heard his music, but without knowing who the singer was.  Some of his songs have had incredible staying power in the American consciousness, such as his “Gimme Little Sign” (1967) and “The Oogum Boogum Song” (1967), which have been featured in many movies, commercials, and retrospective music anthologies.  Just recently, Brenton Wood noted that the song was used in a new ad for some new Apple gizmo.

In the eternal world of Chicano, or lowrider, oldies, Brenton Wood is a veritable saint, in a class of his own.  Many of us first heard of Brenton Wood at some point during the late 20th century (or later), if not in real time during the 1960s and ’70s, from our lowriding cousins out in the valley, or in the metropolitan inner cities.  Or, maybe, if we lived in the suburbs, somehow got hip to the dozen or so East Side Story lowrider oldies compilation records in which Brenton Wood was featured prominently.  Also known as Alfred Smith, Brenton Wood is one half of Alfred & Shirley.

Well, the one and only Brenton Wood is 75 years young now.  And he’s still on stage delighting his fans.  And, now, he’s coming to the San Francisco Bay Area next month for his An Affair to Remember tour.  Alfred Jesse Smith, aka Brenton Wood, has just added a second show to his San Francisco tour stop at Slim’s. [1]  Life is too short.  Let’s experience, in person, the sweet soulful musical stylings of the legendary Brenton Wood, while we still have the time.  E’rybody needs some sweet, soulful and funky, R&B in they’ life. [2]

[1]  And Slim’s is a very intimate venue, on the smaller side.  And it’s one of our favourite venues in the SF Bay Area.  (I’ve probably seen dozens upon dozens of shows there over the years, from Dinosaur Jr to The Jacka to Cousteau to Eek-A-Mouse to Henry Rollins to too many to mention.)

[2]  Brenton Wood is probably one of my most enduring favourite artists, since the 1980s, when I first discovered the man’s heartfelt and jubilant recordings.  Back in high school, some used to actually ask for me to sing “Baby You Got It”.  Brenton Wood, like Little Willie G, of Thee Midniters, inspired more than a few Chicanos to give it all the heart and soul they can muster to sing some old school R&B styles.  It’s quite clear that Chicanos, with their sundry lowrider oldies compilation albums and lowrider oldies radio shows, such as La Onda Bajita and Radio Bilingue’s late night oldies, have helped keep alive a burning love for the soul and R&B musical styles of the 1950s and ’60s when the times gave way to disco in the ’70s, ’80s dance, hip hop, and electronic-based R&B.  Most of my younger black friends would tell me, Phil, you listen to that old stuff; that’s like my grandparents’ music!  I’d say, that’s the best music!

In Honour of the 50th Anniversary of the Revolutionary Black Nationalist and Socialist Black Panther Party for Self-Defense

bpp_logoLUMPENPROLETARIAT   GONZO:  It’s hard to imagine it’s been half a century since the Black Panther Party hit the scene in the USA.  Soon, it’ll be a century, as grievances fester.  For how long?  I remember, as a young Chicano, discovering the Black Panther Party through hip hop and other art forms in the 1980s.

The Black Panther Party inspired many of us and educated us, as did Malcolm X, or el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, which led some of us back to MLK, then to César Chávez and others like Reies Tijeriña and Corky González and Hunter S. Thompson and the Brown Buffalo Oscar Zeta Acosta with his Revolt of the Cockroach People; and others like Howard Zinn; and Noam Chomsky; and Buffy Saint-Marie; and back to others like KRS-One; and dead prez; and Zack de la Rocha; and Run the Jewels.

The Black Panther Party is still incredibly relevant, important, and necessary.  Feed the struggle.  Feed your community.  Defend your community.  Feed your soul.

Perhaps, your local community is also honouring the Black Panther Party’s 50th Anniversary, as are observant communities in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area and other locales.  In the Bay Area, there are many museums and galleries featuring exhibits honouring the BPP50th.  Also free speech radio is paying tribute to the BPP50th.  Tune in, here, for revolutionary observance before the radio echo fades and vanishes into the historical penumbra.  Listen here. [1]

UPDATE—[24 OCT 2016]  Hard Knock Radio has provided us with some new coverage of the events and activities commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Black Panther Party, including audio excerpts from the BPP 50TH gala, which featured former political prisoner and Black Panther Party member Eddie Conway as well as keynote speaker Danny Glover.  Listen here.

BPP 50TH—[accessed 11 OCT 2016]  [statement from ad hoc committee of former members of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense]

Dear Friends and Comrades,

October 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party. An ad hoc committee of former members of the Party is hosting events commemorating the anniversary from October 20-23rd in Oakland, California.

The theme of our commemoration is “Where Do We Go From Here?” The Black Panther Party is well-known and admired in Oakland and around the world for its stand against police brutality, for its Survival Programs— which included free breakfast for school children and free health clinics—its coalitions with other people of color, and its effort to bring about revolutionary change in America. The anniversary events will explore and celebrate the history and legacy of the Black Panther Party.

We hope you will join us in commemorating this historic 50th anniversary by participating in the various workshops and panels of the conference, enjoying our wonderful dinner and gala, advertising in our souvenir program book and volunteering.

Sincerely yours,

Clark Bailey, Coordinator
Black Panther Party 50th Anniversary Host Committee

SAN FRANCISCO BAY VIEW—[15 MAY 2016]  Wanda’s Picks for May-June 2016 Elaine Brown’s “A Taste of Power,” a memoir which chronicles her leadership of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense when co-founder Huey P. Newton is imprisoned, still resonates with me. The idea that a Black woman is nominated to the leadership position of the most powerful civic organization in the country at that time is still remarkable and speaks to what Kathleen Cleaver calls revolutionary imagination.

[3]  KPFA News Headlines (read by Gabriela Castelan), summary:

  • First news headline was what we understand through our critical media literacy studies as junkfood news or news abuse.  The first headline is about the personality of Donald Trump and the meme about Trump’s response in the final debate about possibly complaining about the 2016 presidential election outcome, if he suspects electoral fraud.  Nothing new is revealed, but the corporate news memes of superficial differences between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are perpetuated, as the real issues and substance of their political records are obfuscated, not to mention alternative political candidates are censored, underreported, and marginalised.
  • Dakota Access Pipeline resistance update:  police pepper spray people resisting the pipeline construction.
  • Tom Hayden died yesterday.

[4]  University of California Television (UCTV), posted to YouTube 3 NOV 2008, Series: Voices [5/2001] [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 5720]

“Activist and author Elaine Brown, the first and only woman to lead the Black Panther Party speaks on issues of race with reference to her new book New Age Racism. She discusses the Black experience throughout American history and the issue of reparations for all descendants of slaves.”
