It’s unfortunate other states don’t have these Innocence Clinics, including Oregon. The wrongful conviction of Frank Gable for the murder of Oregon Corrections Chief Michael Francke has many similarities to the Provience case. Nearly identical!

Imagine my surprise upon learning what my favorite YouTuber does when he’s not making his "christian" videos. Haha!
He’s the lead vocalist and bass player for a tribute band out of Oakland, CA who plays only tracks off of David Bowie’s "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars." One of my favorite albums of all time. Oh how I wish I was still living in the bay area right now.
My favorite song off the new CD. The lyrics are applicable to many situations, issues or whatever…including this case, as in the decision of many to lie, manipulate or simply turn away and ignore it.
This video is an outstanding acoustic version of the song. The track from the CD is playing on the homepage of this site.
There’s only about a handful of albums I can recall my Dad ever owning, and Peter, Paul and Mary stands out the most, and especially this song.
OUTSTANDING!!! She re-invented the song! She’s such a special gift to us all.
You have to stand up and fight
Get behind what you believe
Get a grip on what you see
There’s a chance you just might get it right
Put all your hope in some dreams
Throw it to the wind let it all begin
I see you’ve made it this far
Rolled the dice and played the game
Some for the fortune and the fame
It doesn’t matter at all
Who you are or what you’re goin’ through
You can figure it out
It doesn’t matter at all
Who you are or what you’re goin’ through
You can make it through somehow
Sometimes you’re lost in the crowd
You can’t see nothin’ but clouds
Hold on and stand your ground
It’s all yours this time around
Reach in and find what can be found
Put all your hope in some dreams
Throw it to the wind let it all begin
I see you’ve made it this far
Rolled the dice and played the game
Some for the fortune and the fame
It doesn’t matter at all
Who you are or what you’re goin’ through
You can figure it out
It doesn’t matter at all
Who you are or what you’re goin’ through
You can make it through somehow
