Y-Love at SXSW 2008: The Revolution Begins March 18, 2008
Those of you who are avid readers of This is Babylon know that I haven’t been blogging for a few days.
This year, I was part of the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, the music-fest which draws thousands of bands from all over the world, vying to be noticed in perhaps the most influential music conference of the season.
Some bands are content to go there to promote their music, sell some CDs, and leave as quietly as they entered. Y-LOVE, on the other hand, has a bigger agenda, one of interfaith and intercultural unity, and to this end, on Saturday night, after cries of “last call” were ringing at every bar, I decided to spread my message of “peace, love, unity and respect” in the streets.
An impromptu anti-prejudice rally ensued, and as you can see, the results were beautiful.
I just read about you on Heeb.com for the first time today. I converted many years ago to the Reform faith. Your story and music are both inspiring.

Praise the Lord, keep the faith!!! Save the vibe of positive songs. I believe in the power of love. SUPRA Vida forever…

Peace, not war! Paz, não guerra!
Words ring hollow and end up accomplishing NOTHING unless they are backed up with action. Yitz J. is proving that his message is his life. What a great challenge to the rest of us.
Moshiach Now!
It is inspiring to read that a musician has an agenda other than making money! If i could follow a band as the Deadheads did during my youth Y-Love would probably offer i a subscription to your shows!
I absolutely love this! You are a strength in our nation!
I didn’t know it was that hot out there!
it is obvious to me that Moshiach is right around the corner.
the closer we come to his being revealed, the harder it will become.
pray hard and keep learning chumash.
May H” Bless you and Keep you as we ride the end of the wave to Moshiach in our days! Amen!
