T-klubi/metsä

Näkyypä tuo Jukka Relanderin T-klubin ohjelma aiheesta “Metsä” jo tulleen kerran eilen. No, tänään uusintana Teemalla klo 16. Olen siinä vieraana, Jyrki Nummen ja Marja Jalavan kanssa.

Hard Rock Seminole

Kapitalismin kymi tuottaa hassuja akanvirtoja.
Seminolet ovat kuulemma intiaaniheino, joka asuu Floridassa. Onnistuivat aikoinaan pakenemaan everglades-soille ja taistelemaan valkoisia vastaan niin hyvin, että ovat ainoa heimo, joka ei ole solminut rauhansopimusta USA:n kanssa. “The Unconquered People.”
