"There is clearly a separate and unequal judicial process going on in the town of Jena," Bowie said Tuesday in an e-mail statement. "A donation to the Jena Six Legal Defense Fund is my small gesture indicating my belief that a wrongful charge and sentence should be prevented."



What a guy, always been a huge fan. I'm not surprised by this.

1. Good on Bowie.

He's my fave, his music continues to be cutting edge, even to this day.

And his politics haven't wavered.
