They Must Be Stopped

from Run Over By A Train by John "Catfish" Paul Wright

/

about

The backstory of this spoken word piece came from Wendell Berry's kitchen table.

When I went out to visit with him, we talked railroading for about an hour. He told stories about his father taking the train into Louisville from Campbellsburg and I asked questions about railroading and it's connection to the agricultural disaster known as industrial farming.

After reading Wendell's book The Unsettling of America, taking seriously his Yale lecture, and deep thoughts about several of his essays, I knew my days at the railroad were numbered.
