On the November 9th edition of WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call, Rick Moore chats with local young talents Pilar Marshall and Will Denton. Pilar sings, acts, and dances in productions at Live Arts and other area venues. “Willie DE” is the lead singer for The Wave, a trio that plays regularly at local venues such as Gravity Lounge. Rick plays some music, and talks to the youths about balancing school work, social life, and the drive to perform.
Ralph Nader defines political activism for many Americans, though many also attribute George W. Bush’s presidency to Nader’s presidential run in 2000. Now, Nader is running again as an independent and will be at the Gravity Lounge on Sunday from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM for a rally. Coy Barefoot spoke with Nader before the event to get a preview of what he’ll be saying this time around. Nader says Wall Street is ruining the country by taking too many risks, and points to the credit crisis as evidence. He also weighs in on the possibility of an Iranian invasion, the oil crisis, and outlines what a Nader presidency would do for the country. (photo by David Shankbone)
