    (Photo: Courtesy Captain Jack Sparrow)

    Age: 66

    Bio: Captain Jack grew up on a farm in Aitkin, Minnesota. He moved to Minneapolis in January of 1973.

    Education: He graduated from Aitkin High School in 1969, and then studied logic at the University of Minnesota. He also studied subjects related to sociobiology at the U of M and at the University of Texas at Austin.

    Work experience: Set up and managed several collective businesses including auto and motorcycle repair, home remodeling and demolition, restaurant equipment repair, lawn service and landscaping. He was also a maintenance coordinator at Seward Coop in 1973.

    Political and public experience: "In the mid 1970s I organized several intentional communities and co-housing projects of which many of the collective businesses mentioned above were affiliated. I was a member of the Student Mobilization Committee to end the war in Vietnam in 1971. I was involved with the Twin Cities Coop Movement in the early 1970s. I was an editor of the All Coop newsletter in 1974. I was the co-founder of People United for Economic Justice in the late 1980s and Up and Out of Poverty in the early 1990s. I was on the Board of Directors of the Minneapolis, the Minnesota and the National Coalitions for the Homeless. I organized Minneapolis Public Housing tenants during the 1990s. I was also a founding member of Occupy Homes, were I was active from 2011 to 2014."

    Main issues: Eliminating poverty, violence prevention, climate change and other environmental issues.

    Party: Independent

    Why he is running: "I want to begin a pilot program in Minneapolis for the Basic Income Guarantee, I want to get control of the police department to ensure that police officers respond in poor neighborhoods and neighborhoods made up predominantly of people of color as fast and as often as they do in richer, and predominantly White neighborhoods. I want to experiment with more car-free areas, like the Nicollet Mall, in the central city. I want to experiment with building some buildings underground to save on energy for heating and cooling."

    What you might not know about him: "I am an Agnostic, although I consider myself to be a pre-Constantinian Christian culturally."

    Also scored Soul Asylum tickets today. Not that they would be hard to get these days. Though it is First Ave, so maybe?

    It's just Dave now, so probably not as hard to get these days.
    I did see SA with Guided By Voices and Suicide Commandos this summer, and that was a pretty great show, however,

    I hope the band checks the porch and sees this has been on the front page for a while. Ten thousand responses gets a show? :-)

    Can Al Franken pull some strings for a hometown show? 

    Maybe not a good idea with Franken now.

    Ugg, this one doesn't change my mind about Sen Franken.. He apologized swiftly which is good. The "forced kiss" might be a misunderstood joke, and this picture is in poor taste which he acknowledged. he's not groping her. This is not the same as nasty old men who are groping women and making them scared for their future career. I'm sensitive to those stories for sure! This one on the other hand, it seems like someone is just sharing a story to be part of the #metoo group. If this woman was seriously affected by this and her life if forever changed, then who am I to say different.. It's just a little hard to get behind. Then again, I'm a gal with thick skin around guys and am probably a little naive about things.. and I've never been in questionable circumstances... so I may be way off base. 

    Again, I'm very proud of the movement going on.. it's about dang time women are being listened to and people are believing them.

    i mean, it's not a good look. and not right now. he was a public figure then and had been for years, he should know better to not do something like that, whether he's touching her or not, let alone have a photo taken. it's incredibly disappointing. yes, he acknowledged that, so i guess there's that when so many others are making excuses rather than own up to it, but still. c'mon, dude, you're above college age shenanigans on a freakin' uso trip.

    "A little birdie says the Twins, whose radio rights are returning to WCCO-AM, this week will make a major concert announcement for Target Field next summer. The Twins have held several country shows the past few years, but this one won’t be a country act.  Look for the Twins to hold several other concerts at Target Field next year, too."
