Rinde Bangs

Rinde Eckert incants: [Here I can rely only on shorthand; the full version will be up on the web, linked to this blog and the CP website, soon.] "Power wielded with no consideration... becomes tyrannical... Lies... Lies accepted... become tyranny."

He's a striking bald man in a black shirt and gray vest, pounding a wide, thin drum, screaming, chanting, "ignorance! of these facts! in anyone! is disastrous! but, in the powerful! is criminal!"

--then he stops. Sobers, repeats once, leaves.

The energy show has set the scene for something sober but not dry; Rinde's short bizarre banging and chanting has got my full attention.
