Andy Gricevich and Rick Burkhardt are the kind of activist artists that,
when they write a satirical folksong about a social issue, it’s actually
about two issues, at least; is simultaneously hilarious, seething,
explanatory and hopeful; combines Kurt-Weill-complex harmonies with Mambo
or Polka or a quotation from Ravel--some folksong!--with the knowledge
that such songs may be the only news medium through which a US citizen
might learn, say, of the movement to shut down the US army base some call
“the School of Assassins”.

Andy Gricevich and Rick Burkhardt are also the kind of activist artists
who present their love for the work of such people as
WallaceShawn/HelmutLachenmann/RaeArmantrout/FranzSchubert/RobertAshley/
BenGrosser/BertoltBrecht/PeterandLouBerryman/CyTwombly/DavidGreenspan/
SusanParenti/Jean-LucGodard/WalterBenjamin/RonSilliman
in such a way that:

a) you think differently about possibility, presentation, love, work, and
people

b) you take up an intriguing assignment that elicits from you work you
would not do otherwise;

c) you discover that, in contrast to most of what our society calls
entertainment, this is actually fun.
