MATT DRISCOLL: GET DOWN WITH POPULISM THIS SATURDAY >>>
Populism. I consider myself a fairly educated dude, and I still couldn’t offer you a succinct and exact definition of the word. And I went to Evergreen, for Phil Lesh’s sake!
I do know populism is a view that supports the power of the people over elites, and I’m so down with that.
I also know Jim Hightower pretty much personifies what a populist is, or can be if they set their mind to it. Hightower will be at Olympia’s Capitol Theater on Saturday, April 12 to discuss his new book Swim Against The Current: Even A Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow, and raise funds for the Olympia Film Society.
For all George W. Bush has done to tarnish the cowboy hat, Hightower is doing more than his part to bring some respect back to the Texas headdress. A National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, former Texas Agriculture Commissioner, and longtime populist voice, Hightower has worked for over thirty years on behalf of the average Joe, Jane, or Javier as the case may be.
Ticket info can be found here. Also, for $40, there’s a pre-show reception at Plenty that starts at 6 p.m. According to pioneermusic.org the $40 price includes admission to the evening event, VIP seating, a copy of Jim Hightower’s new book and delicious snacks provided by Plenty!â€
