Okay, I dug the interview, however..um...Ed, is there a way you could show any less interest in this information from Richard Gibson? I mean, I don't know if something was going on that day with you personally, or you simply weren't "feeling" this conversation, but this is one I would've recorded over in the interest of sharpening the sound and the questioning.

Nah, thats just the way I sound. I don't have the best voice for radio. Richard Gibson is a really cool guy though. I had to edit that podcast down to about 10 minutes from 45 minutes because the software was being tricky. He was in Paris in the 1950's. He was in Algeria during the revolution. He led Fidel Castro around Harlem and introduced him to Malcom X. Richard is a very cool revolutionary.
