June 27th is the 141st anniversary of Emma Goldman's birth. Goldman, probably America's best-known anarchist, is famous for a great quote that she never actually said: "If I can't dance, it's not my revolution." (The actual quote, from her 1931 autobiography Living My Life, can be found near the end of this article: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman. The one-liner is a lot catchier, but it is a pretty good synopsis of what she actually wrote.)

In Emma's honor, I've put together a two-hour show that I think she'd approve of -- music that's both highly political and makes you want to get up and dance.  I'm calling it the Emma Goldman Memorial Dance Party.
