Daniel Ellsberg & Raging Grannies: Backstage Oct 5

by Bill Carpenter & the Grannies (info [at] raginggrannies.com)

Sat, Oct 14, 2006 11:47PM

The world can't wait...neither can rain-drenched and weary Grannies! Left backstage for over an hour despite directions from WCW organizers that they should arrive early and would definitely be on the program, the Raging Grannies took control of the situation, in a most Grannarific way. Includes photos and 41 second Quicktime video

Daniel Ellsberg approached the Grannies, saying he would like to wipe his nose before speaking on stage. Granny Jane rummaged through her well-stocked Granny bag and came up with a kleenex, not recognizing him....

"What's up with that, Grannies...it's almost time for the march to start and the stage managers now say there is NO TIME for us to sing our 1 minute song? Huh?"

§Onward Raging Grannies!

original image (1344x1216)

Grannies appeared before adoring fans and the press, and were broadcast on evening news channels 2 and 5, singing and interviewing. Grannies came to SF from as far as San Jose and Sonoma County to cheer the marchers as the headed off to demonstrate loudly against war. Young folks thanked the Grans repeatedly and Grans are most envious of their energy. Generations working together can stop this WAR! This Photo by Chris Brey.
