His name might not be familiar to many, but his songs are sung by
millions around the world. Today, we take a journey through the life and
work of Yip Harburg, the Broadway lyricist who wrote such hits as
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" and who put the music into The Wizard
of Oz. Born into poverty on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Harburg
always included a strong social and political component to his work,
fighting racism and poverty. A lifelong socialist, Harburg was
blacklisted and hounded throughout much of his life. We speak with
Harburg’s son, Ernie Harburg, about the music and politics of his
father. Then we take an in-depth look at The Wizard of Oz, and hear a
medley of Harburg’s Broadway songs and the politics of the times in
which they were created.

A Tribute to Blacklisted Lyricist Yip Harburg: The Man Who Put the Rainbow in The Wizard of Oz
Anonymous Op4RedHack
Greetings Citizens of the world, this is Anonymous.
It has come
to our attention that the Turkish government want to prosecute a hacker
group called Redhack, they are accused of being a "terror organisation."
Prosecutors will demand up to 24 years imprisonment for people who have
no connection to Redhack.
They opposed and carried out actions
against rapes, out of date milk distributed to school children, which
resulted in 100's being poisoned, and the country being prostituted to
the capitalists. They opposed child pornography, internet censorship,
and brutal government opposition. Lately, they have been viciously
attacked by the Fascist Turkish State because they share information
which already belongs to the people. The most significant of these
attacks is the one that has been levied against innocent people who have
no link to Redhack. These people, who have shared information on social
media about these actions, are now held for ransom, solely in order to
demonise Redhack and cut their support.
Redhack openly declared
that Duygu Kerimoglu, Ugur Cihan Okutulmus and AllaatinKaragenc are not
their members. Nor are the seven others, on bail.
We implore the
public to give their support to these innocent people. We call on all
hacktivists, activists, freedom defenders, human rights organisation to
demand an end to the restraints imposed on these three innocent people
on remand, and the seven others on bail.
No matter how dark it
may seem, no matter how alone and abandoned you may feel know that over 9
thousands of us in Anonymous are with you and working tirelessly around
the clock to bring you every assistance. To the people of Turkey and
Redhack, know that Anonymous stands with you in this fight.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
