> "...let > some of the bruise blood come out to show them..." > if i'm thinking clearly, > it's the same sermon that "it's gonna rain" is from, and i think he's > talking about the "blues", but then again, i could be way off. yup. no, this ain't no preacher. that's definitely 'it's gonna rain.' no -- 'come out' is something else entirely. this audio snippet is taken from an interview with a young man who is describing how he was severely beaten and then taken into custody by the police for participating in a non-violent civil rights demonstration. this particular phrase was culled from the section of the interview in which the young man is describing how the police were deciding which of the people they had rounded up could go to the hospital and which would stay in custody. in the phrase, this man is describing the fact that he "had to, like, open the bruise up and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them", them being the cops, that he was injured -- because that was the criterion deciding who would be hospitalized and who would remain jailed: are you bleeding or not? surprised at how many reich fans remain in the dark about this truly remarkable political content, sr -- sd
