Idris Robinson. Idris? I hope you’re named after the jazz drummer Idris Muhammad cuz the way you can intellectually riff is like WOOO! Your ability to make your rebel brain lay out resistance and resilience, using simultaneous interrogative chords, while including the voice of your absent and locked up co-conspirators, Oooooo! The professor radical, fully engaged. Cigarette dangling from your mouth. Ooooo! I know that when you write you’re about to arm us with timely insights. Crazy radical of my common ancestry, i love you. Write on? Right On!
