Sage Francis Reacts To RNC With “Conspiracy To Riot”
First Ted Leo, now Sage Francis has recorded his reaction to the violence against protesters and journalists at the 2008 Republican National Convention. Francis has released a song “Conspiracy To Riot” and set up a website, conspiracytoriot.com, to raise funds for his friend, journalist Jared Paul.
Francis stated, “out of the thousand unjust arrests that will happen this year, why am I focusing on this one in particular? Jared Paul is a fellow Providence poet and musician. We’ve lived together, toured together, protested together, argued with one another from time to time, and shared many incredible moments over the past 15 years. He is a social worker, a community organizer, a selfless human being and a champion of justice. He’d do the same for me in return. He’d probably do the same for you.”
The site details Paul’s experience at the RNC, so definitely check it out.
