No line of Quaker action figures would be complete without bend-o-matic David Byrne with patented arm chopping motion. It's a once in a lifetime offer!
Even in those days there was a lot of M-manure on MTV. I'd watch for hours in hopes that the next video would be the good one (Sledgehammer or Back On the Chain Gang ...) There were a lot with half naked women in chains and lots of dry ice, men with big hair and high squeaky voices ...
Proud to be a public school teacher for 26 years, I see teaching as a radical act. Practitioner of Neo-schoolmarmism. School Library Media Specialist. I am a convinced Quaker, born again agnostic, mother of 3 daughters, passionate about issues of peace and social justice. My mom was a "red diaper baby", my dad was a conscientious objector during WW2, and I grew up in the thick of anti-war protests in Madison, Wisconsin in the sixties. Not a Republican bone in my body and not many Democratic ones either.

Wow, that brought back memories!
Is David Byrne really a Quaker?
Yup.

One of my all-time favorites from the good old days when the "M" in MTV actually stood for "music," not "manure." Good stuff.
