aids quilt part 2

tonight i went to the aids quilt to work my shift and listen to cleve jones speak.
cleve jones is the man who founded the quilt. it was his idea, and everyone told him it was an awful, stupid idea. but he stuck with it.. and he eventually did start the quilt.
to listen to this man speak... oh my gosh. there's so much there that we didn't know obviously. all about harvey milk,the assassinations of harvey milk and the mayor of san fransisco... he was one of the ones to discover harvey's body, minutes after the assassination.
i wish everyone could hear him speak. could listen to his stories and could feel his outrage about this. this is a man who is now immune to almost every single aids drug there is. there is one he has not tried yet. his survival is dependant on what is coming down the research machinery pipe. ALL of his friends are dead.
go watch "Common Threads: stories from the quilt" go watch "And the band played on" or better yet read the book of the same title by randy shilts. Go read/watch "the life and times of harvey milk."
oh my..... i wish you could feel this. could have listened to him....
