#John_Sinclair est un poète, militant politique, ancien manager du groupe MC5, et fondateur du White Panthers Party (un parti solidaire du Black Panthers Party). Pour toutes ces raisons, il fut condamné à 10 ans de prison en 1969 (après avoir donné deux joints à des flics en civil).

Le 10 décembre 1971 un grand concert de soutien est organisé, le John Sinclair Freedom Rally (aussi appelé #Ten_For_Two) à l’University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, avec entre autres Bob Seger, Archie Shepp, Phil Ochs, Commander Cody et John Lennon, mais les meilleures 12 minutes sont celles de #Stevie_Wonder, pour l’une de ses premières prestations clairement politisée :

For Once In My Life
Somebody’s Watching You (reprise de Sly Stone dédiée aux flics en civil)
Heaven Help Us All (après un discours dénonçant la prison pour John Sinclair et la liberté pour les policiers assassins du massacre de Kent State University)

Trois jours après le concert, et après deux ans et demi à l’intérieur, John Sinclair fut relâché...

The John Sinclair Freedom Rally, held in Crisler Arena on December 10, 1971, is one of the most memorable concerts in Ann Arbor history and one of the most significant in the history of Rock and Roll, due in large part to John Lennon’s decision to appear in support of radical White Panther leader John Sinclair, who was currently serving 8 1/2 to 10 years in prison for the possession of two marijuana cigarettes.

But also on the bill that night were Motown’s Steve Wonder, folksinger Phil Ochs, and jazz legend Archie Schepp, plus Ann Arbor’s own Bob Seger, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Teegarden & Van Winkle and The Up. Speakers included Bobby Seale, Allen Ginsberg, and Rennie Davis.

On the 40th anniversary of the Rally, AADL is launching this site tracing the history behind the Rally, in particular the story of the White Panther and Rainbow People’s Parties in Ann Arbor.

As an emerging young poet in the mid-1960s, Sinclair took on the role of manager for the Detroit rock band MC5. The band’s politically charged music and its Yippie core audience dovetailed with Sinclair’s own radical development. In 1968, while still working with the band, he conspicuously served as a founding member of the White Panther Party, a militantly anti-racist socialist group and counterpart of the Black Panthers.
...
Sinclair eventually left the US and took up residency in Amsterdam. He continues to write and record and, since 2005, hosts a regular broadcast and podcast, The John Sinclair Radio Show.

Classic hysterical sermon about threat of widespread public sex - Boing Boing
▻http://boingboing.net/2014/11/05/classic-hysterical-sermon-abou.html

A classic sermon from 1969 delivered by the hypnotically charismatic Reverend Jack Van Impe, who warned that “by 1974, John Sinclair, the rock band The MC5, and specifically their song ’Kick Out the Jams’ will produce sex on the streets in every major US city.”
