[Marxism] Ralph Nader & Patti Smith at Wesleyan U. Tonight (Connecticut)

[Brian Shannon <Brian_Shannon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Friday, January 28, 2005, 07:00 PM- 10:00 PM

Two-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader has been called one of
America's most effective social critics. He also has been called
everything from Muckraker to Consumer Crusader to Public Defender. His
documented criticism of government and industry has had widespread
effect on public awareness and bureaucratic power. His inspiration and
example have galvanized a whole population of consumer advocates,
citizen activists, and public interest lawyers who in turn have
established their own organizations throughout the country. Patti Smith
was a leading figure in New York's underground arts and performance
scene of the early '70s, before she shifted gears and helped spearhead
the U.S. punk/new wave movement later that decade. Though she never
became a part of the musical mainstream, the four seminal albums she
and her band recorded between 1975 and 1979 have influenced and
inspired at least two generations of performers around the planet.
