Reverend Billy Talen Coverage
Thank you to Kimberly Wilder for forwarding these write ups on the Rev. Billy Talen / Joan Baez event and other online coverage this week:
A Night With Reverend Billy (NY Press)
With his high pompadour and guerilla theatre tactics, it’s tempting to dismiss Reverend Billy as an entertainer with a few good points, but the Green Party’s widespread support suggests there might be something more to his foray into politics. Earlier, he spoke about his “500 Neighborhoods” initiative to revitalize New York’s communities against the threat of gentrification and “that demon monoculture.” When he said that “the neighborhoods doing the best have the least amount of gentrification,” he may be onto something. The “Saints” listed on his home page are community organizers, preservationists, writers and artists.
