KRISTEN HENDERSON RALLIES
Comrades, join us in our state-wide rallies to commemorate Kristen Henderson "hero worthy" moments, even though she uses Macs!
SaY iT!
(February 2002)
Unos, dos, tres, CATORCE! Hello...hello...HOLA! I'm at a place called VERTIGO.
The rapper 50¢ spent his leaner years on the mean streets of Queens or where ever the hell he came from selling crack. It makes for a great story and helps sell cds. Antigone Rising however, earned their street creds working the sometimes-hostile-but-not-really mean Bleeker Street, deep in the heart of Bohemia known as Greenwich Village in New York City. Pedestrians have been known to be dragged into dark alleys and forced to recite classics like Aeschylus or Shakespeare, often badly beaten if not in Latin. While life in Bohemia may not require bulletproof vests as seemingly necessary in the background story to effectively sell a few extra cds, it does lead to a great band name and an even memorable cd cover, culminating in the synergy known as the album SaY iT! an-TIG-uh-nee. No music critic has ever reviewed SaY iT! and called it a synergy so you heard it here first from the People's Commissar of Hero Awareness.
SaY iT! has never received the in depth analysis it rightfully deserves, which is why the People's Commissar of Hero Awareness is willing to dedicate an entire Kristen Henderson Rally to the cd. Honestly, residents like "Fitty" don't go around quoting characters from old Sophocles's tragedies in Queens. No, sir! Not only did the band include a highly butcherable Greek word in their name, but even graciously offered to assist the good people in pronouncing it with a witty, classy album title like SaY iT! an-TIG-uh-nee. No friends, if they had gotten their start in Jamaica, Queens, the home of fan favorites likes 7th Day would be found on a more bluntly titled album like, "What's My Name, Bitch!" Luckily, that is not the case and Antigone Rising is not a hip hop band, though they might be by the time the illusive studio album arrives.
Furthermore, only in a densely saturated creative area like Greenwich Village can the entrepreneurial artistic spirit flourish to create one of the most brazen, boldest, and freshest designs to ever grace a cd cover. Without definitive eureeka moments such as suddenly realizing that blue, yellow, orange, green, and fuscia makes for a splendid color combination coming from some of the best artistic minds, there can be no prominent movements in art, like what the Constructivists did in the 1920s. It is now readily apparent why 40% of the band members attended a school that bleeds blue and orange. There has also been numerous testimonial accounts of the blind miraculously blessed with vision upon physical contact with a SaY iT! cd. The cd fetches a high premium on eBay in contemporary America because of its unprecedented medicinal healing powers. The People's Commissar of Hero Awareness award SaY iT! with a 3-star KHendo Rally and immortalize the artwork as the official KHendolshevik Revolution favicon. If only Homer were alive today, he could see.
