Organizer is kind of a grand term for what I was doing.

I live and die with the Chicago Cubs

This was a very progressive group of clergy who foresaw the race riots that were going to take place when Dr. King started helping the local civil rights community push for open housing. They were sort of hoping against hope that we could educate kids in a way that could counter some of the racist messages they were imbibing at home. I don't know whether we did any good, but it changed my life in every single way.

But what I've learned is, when your adrenaline is flowing, you can do a lot. I'm not very physical, but once some punks were trying to break into my house and I chased them down.

I love to sing. I'm a soprano.

I believe in the dull lie - make your story boring enough and no one will question it.
