Boots started with a two verse a cappella that i didn't recognize, then he mostly talked about the need for a militaristic labor union, communists/ism. about half way into his speech, he did "the gods of science" (since there were a few scientists in the room, he wove that into his speech). it was good, but i thought he didn't really tie all his thoughts together well enough, and had no real theme, but then he did 45 minutes of answering questions. he spoke at length, was on point and was worth coming out for. he bought up how real movements inspire socially conscious music, not the other way around.

i'm kind of tired, but if i remember more, i'll post it.
