Does anyone know how to get a copy of his intro message at his shows during Burning Man. I want everyone I know and those who I don't know to hear it.

Thanks.

    Ace,

    I believe the message you're referring to is
    "Not In Our Name (The Pledge of Resistance),
    by Saul Williams.

    Here's a link to a YouTube Clip of Saul
    Williams reciting "The Pledge of Resistance":
    youtube.com/watch

    "Not In Our Name (The Pledge of Resistance)"

    "We believe that as people living
    in the United States it is our
    responsibility to resist the injustices
    done by our government,
    in our names

    Not in our name
    will you wage endless war
    there can be no more deaths
    no more transfusions
    of blood for oil

    Not in our name
    will you invade countries
    bomb civilians, kill more children
    letting history take its course
    over the graves of the nameless

    Not in our name
    will you erode the very freedoms
    you have claimed to fight for

    Not by our hands
    will we supply weapons and funding
    for the annihilation of families
    on foreign soil

    Not by our mouths
    will we let fear silence us

    Not by our hearts
    will we allow whole peoples
    or countries to be deemed evil

    Not by our will
    and Not in our name

    We pledge resistance

    We pledge alliance with those
    who have come under attack
    for voicing opposition to the war
    or for their religion or ethnicity

    We pledge to make common cause
    with the people of the world
    to bring about justice,
    freedom and peace

    Another world is possible
    and we pledge to make it real."
