Emailed to us by Jane Johnson with a request to post here, re. Bhopal:

Mother Love...

Deep in your heart a well of sadness lies Around your dreams, uncloaked, a living hell You gave your precious treasure up for skies That seemed to promise Heaven - yet, they fell Tenderly, tenderly, the softest touch brings pain A flash of bright-eyed laughter, a moment gone And now you live for days when measured gain Shall give your tears release, where rainbows shone On cheeks now wet, now wreathed in smiles once more ....He plunges into your arms, heart beating, boy. Your precious burden, running to your door. Then turns as swiftly, Oh! To favourite toy... It is a dream, the treasure now has gone Bereft, you're left, paste on your brittle smile Bleached bones beside a graveyard soaked in tears Fixed, frozen-faced, taste gone, for a little while For Union Carbide's Gas choked off the years... The growth to manhood of your little child

Bhopal's gas disaster from Union Carbide's pesticide plant Still no proper compensation as UK Lawyers stop the grant So far they've had more money than the victims ever did Though thousands died, and more are maimed, the perpetrators hid

I listened to it and it was excellent! Thanks for the pointer Indra. :)

I even was inspired to go and see "The Filth and the Fury," the documentary about the Sex Pistols, yesterday. Very interesting and serious person is that John Rotton. Wishing well for his talk show.

I found the movie riviting. And a sad story. He *is* good on stage. Wonderful face.

Glad he was able to help spread the info on the ongoing Bhopal situation. Some hunderds of thousands of listeners. Great show. [Read entire topic]

Was a guest the other day on ex-Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten's radio show, which is webcast (whatever that means, I can't get the bloody software to work anyway!) They'd apparently seen this interview on the WELL. The session was a gas. Reconvened the old team. Geno (aka Jesus Slut Fucker) took time off from driving his cab in Oklahoma City to tell some very funny stories about life as a convict and other Genoesque things...we also got Sathyu on from Bhopal to talk about what's happening with the court case in New York, and why people should try to put a spoke in the proposed merger between Union Carbide and Dow Chemical. It all got rather frenetic and the last hour passed for me in a semi-alcoholic daze...(I was sitting in my garden drinking ouzo and trying to cut up a steak one-handed). Johnny R was great. He got very fired up about the Bhopal situation and Sathyu will probably be going back regularly as the situation hots up. (Sathyu was interviewed by Newsweek today -- at last the issue is being discussed widely.) All in all a thoroughly enjoyable and valuable evening. If anyone is interested, the archive is online, marked June 10, at www.eyada.com. My thanks to John "Rotten" Lydon, his producer Athena Kurry and all the other folks who made it happen.

i wasn't able to find out where the film was playing.

i went on a bullitin board on the Bhopal Express WEb site (very cool website, by the way) and found out that what showed this week was a preview that does not seem to be open or wasn't open to the public.

The message from the filmakers said the movie was said to be distributed by the end of the summer.
