Lefty Folk's Newest Superstar: Carsie Blanton

Intimate Crowd Charmed by Freedom Flotilla Folk Mama

It was truly a magical concert.

A singer who had shown bravery that few could. She risked incineration by airstrike or molestation by prison guard for humanity’s most pressing cause: to feed the starving genocide victims of Gaza. Along with Greta Thunburg and hundreds of other daring souls she had attempted to deliver food to the beaches of Gaza, only to be intercepted by IDF Parademons.

San Francisco’s finest motley crew of tatted green hair genderqueer commies – and some that could pass for normies – experienced a pinnacle most baby boomers only pretend to remember: an authentic moment of politically charged folk that was simultaneously sorrowful and heartening.

Every element of what you would want in a concert was there: musicians at their peak in skill and relevancy and a dedicated audience who knew and joined in for every song. The Chapel, located in San Francisco’s Mission district is a jewel of a club that is ideal for the folk music or stripped-down-rock experience. The perfect acoustics garnered a closeness with the performer that even extended to the barfly at the back of the room.

And what could be more cathartic than to connect in-person with the anti-war commoners just as the monstrosity of U.S./Israel hegemony’s dragon tail drenches Persia’s magic carpet with oozing odoriferous slime.

And while you are there why not stop by the booth of the Peace & Freedom party and officially sign up as a socialist? Blanton never stops intertwining her music with activism. Lol!
