liberty festival 3

I said something really REALLY stupid in my entry yesterday. I mean calamitously, cringe-enducingly stupid. So much so that I had to delete the offending paragraph. I slagged off ‘Red Jesus’. I originally thought it was another egocentric crip artist, without realising that Red Jesus was David W. Morris, a man of extraordinary talents in whose memory the festival was dedicated. A little research has made me realise that Morris was a leading light of the disability rights movement: an artist, filmmaker, chef and musician – indeed, a man of many talents. I intend to look into his work more closely, and I apologise most profusely for my error.
