Wrong Side of the Road/Freedom | B.L. Shirelle | TEDxMuncyStatePrison
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. “Wrong Side of the Road/ Freedom” by B.L. Shirelle. Members of the group include Monique Mull, guitarist, who also wrote the music and lyrics, Demetrius Patterson, rapper, Emily Smith, guitarist, and Kelly Klunk, lead vocals. Ms. Mull says that the two songs are representative of the mistakes made in their lives that led them to prison. While there may be a number of causes that led them to criminal behavior, Ms. Mull says, they all know that they always had a choice to do otherwise.
Members of the group include Monique Mull, guitarist, who also wrote the music and lyrics, Demetrius Patterson, rapper, Emily Smith, guitarist, and Kelly Klunk, lead vocals. Inmates at Muncy State Prison.

***** Did you ever think to yourself that perhaps they want to talk about it but everyone thinks it's rude to ask? This is precisely how PC thinking creates disingenuous, passive aggressive relationships.
