SF Concert for Memorializing Homeless Who Died on the Street Announced on Nor-Cal Outlet of KUSC

The Concert (at a Church) Memorializing Those Who Have Died on the Street, was announced just once in my hearing, on SF Classical KDFC (sister station of KUSC Los Angeles). I think they realized how ridiculous it is because nowhere could the announcement be found on the station calendar or on Google searching the SF Bay area. I think they buried it.

I think what's at stake is that people with traditional values know how they are related to the benefit of their own people--if you aren't for yourself, who can be for you?--but leftist elites on the Left Coast are so confused about the important things--who were are, why are we here, what should we do--that they're snared in the secular religion of virtue-signalling support for a class of casual social outsiders, professional homeless people, who are even more confused and alienated from the important questions.

KDFC shares with KUSC, the most highly refined, snotty, condescending announcer style. It has nothing to do with the music. We live in Sacramento, where the classical station of the local California State University is going highly woke with the Black Classical of William Grant Still (but where's the Black French Mozart, Chevalier St. George?) and the Woman Classical of Amy Beech (but where's the really profound music of Clara Schumann?), then when they have to push a Black Woman composer, it's Florence Price (but little awareness of the Classical-Jazz crossover of Nina Simone). All this woke-culture, based on really unknown historical composers of virtually no popular or progressive influence, seems oriented toward the sterile environment of the public schools, where the kids would only wonder, why are you doing this, it's completely ridiculous, a group of old leftist fogies striving to become more broadly relevant while not even possessing their own, deeply held culture.

KDFC seems to be feeling the pressure from its provincial, country cousin, because woke is creeping into their program. But you can still switch from one to another as soon as the woke composers' names are announced.

Let’s have a concert to memorialize the homeless dead. We can get great music and have catered food and have cocktails and wine and craft beers, sell t-shirts and hats. Of course we won’t let any of the dirty smelly homeless people in, it’s not about them having a good time and they can’t afford it anyway. And they don’t have proof of vaccination. So there. But we can see each other there and congratulate ourselves on a really successful show and how much money we raised. We can deduct the price of the tickets from our taxable income because it is a charitable event. Of course we have to pay the artists and the venue and the insurance and catering and advertising. Then we can put up a plaque on the sidewalk with the names of all the nameless homeless people who died.
