The Down Trodden
of Woodstock and the surrounding Areas of the Hudson Valley Region
This page is for the Down Trodden Artist who has suffered Injustice, either from the System or certain factions thereof, (as in Harassment, or Social Bias, or an Unjust Law, etc...), or suffered Injustice from a Group of Individuals, or from a Single Individual, or as a result of the actions of said Individual(s)...
If you are an Art, Drama, Literature, Music, or Multi-Media Artist, or are involved in any of the Arts, or you are an Artistically bent personality, and have either lived in the Woodstock area or have worked at your Art Form or in the Arts, in or around Woodstock or the Hudson Valley Region at any time during your life and career, and feel you are a part of the Woodstock Culture, but also feel that somehow you have suffered an Injustice of any kind (either grave or slight), and wish to be included on this list, or have your injustice listed, or to list a group(s) or individual(s) that deal specifically with your particular type of Injustice, please raise your voice and speak out!
To give us your Incident of Injustice, or to just list it, or to voice a complaint, or even to simply give us your feedback on a pecific Injustice, please

Examples of Injustices in the Woodstock and Ulster County Region:
-
The Sexual Bias within the Family Court System of Ulster County (should be spelled: "Ulcer County"...)
-
Commercially Backed Art Forms vs. the Solitary Artist and his or her un-sponsored Art-Form...
-
Being Falsely Accused of some form of Sexual Harrassment or Abuse...
-
BeingFalsely Accused period!
-
Exclusion by Social Cliques within the Woodstock Social Artistic Framework
(or should we say, "comin'-out-of-the 'wood-worm-work'"...)
-
Tax-payer monies designated for the Arts being funnelled to other non-Artistic Town-Projects...
-
Rents skyrocketing out of control in the community that is supposed to be a sponsor of the Arts...*

One of my Pet Peeves: "Let's invest in property in Woodstock so we can 'Flip it' and make a killing!"... How the heck is any self-respecting Artist supposed to survive in this shark-invested real estate climate (or scenario, if you will...)? (Remember, Real-Estate Investors - when the Arts of a Community die, so does the community.
Have a heart, support the Art! Artists of All Genres need decent (not slum-lord) housing! Rap on your congressman's (or -woman's) door, call 'em up on the phone!
Dissent! Lament the ever climbing Rent! Dissent! Protest this sky-rocketing event! And Vent! Dissent the ever-escalating Rent! (Or you'll wonder: "Where have all the Artists went?")
Advocate Rent-Control! (Or be forced to move to Trent!)
Any others you can think of? Write to us... give us your feedback...
(Fathers Rights activists and Non-Custodial Parents - who are upset with or are suffering from the Ulster County Family Court System's way of handling 'non-money-making' or struggling Artists with children and custody issues - are welcome! Tax-paying Artisans who are upset with the way the Woodstock Town Board and/or the WATV Board-of-Directors are mis-appropriating and mis-directing the way our taxes are spent are also welcome! Come one, come All! Raise your Voices of Dissent!)
PS: Not that this site is all about dissent, but simply that it also includes dissenters, of all genres - (including teen-agers... not that we are biased - we were teen-agers once!) - and also renters!
The WAVE is a tidal thing...what tides doeth thou bring?
WAVE is listening... with a sympathetic eardrum,
beating to the tune of a different drummer...
Justice is glistening... thru an equal-colored spectrum,
waiting out the storm of our dissedent summer....
the summer of our discontent, the spring board of words well spent,
not to fall on false ears hell-bent, but wintering the storm of a Tidal WAVE's Vent...
venting can relax the soul, if meant.... so if you must, be
dissedent!
