THE MOST PROFOUND, ESSENTIAL & REAL VOICE IN AMERICA. Musician, Poet, Prophet. His disquieting voice has the power to give ears to the heart. Like most natives raised on a reservation, John Trudell's early years were a case of living in America but outside of the "American Dream". The realities of poverty & racism instilled a heart-filled contempt for the notions of democracy & equality. The following years were spent searching for his place & purpose. 1969...the Indians of All Nations occupation of Alcatraz. Their national spokesman & national chairman of A.I.M., John Trudell, remained in the public eye & under constant F.B.I. surveillance. 1979...Trudell burns the flag at a Washington demonstration citing American "injustice & racism & classism" as a desecration of the flag & what it stands for. Less than 24 hours later, his home was burned to the ground killing his wife Tina, her mother, & their three children..."it was murder, they were murdered as an act of war... "The black period that followed was when Trudell began to find his voice as a poet, eventually merging his words with music in GRAFFITI MAN. His truth beyond poetry, awakens us between the distinction between illusion & reality, & activates the real connection between power: perception & spirit. "He was an inspiration to me...There wasn't an untruthful moment in his performance." -Michael Apted, Director, "Incident at Ogiala," "Thunderheart." "Probably the most charismatic speaker I've ever heard," - Bonnie Raitt. "He is a reality check. Justice is a fire that burns inside him. His spirit cries out for him. It makes him dangerous." - Kris Kristofferson. "AKA GRAFFITI MAN is the best album of 1986." - Bob Dylan.
