John Sinclair, the - John Sinclair, invited me to join in his gathering of mental patients at the 420' cafe during the first new light of the winter solstice. As ever we had a funky-good time - i had a problem speaking at first due to a joint lodged in my mouth that wouldn't budge. Try saying "New York Skunk" with a Joint in your gob. Also i sparked up the reefer before the official opening toke moment! agh, that broke my rhythm a little. John's tireless output of work grows on a monthly basis like a counter to the U.S debt of imagination, a stream of new blogs, fresh radio shows, book launches, poetry readings, book and poetry writings, edits, and meetings with his publishers and friends, not to mention his family, daughters and grand daughters, all equally illuminated in his daily thoughts. The following is lifted directly from his website-webblog. PLEASE visit it and pay attension to his writings, He writes from his rich, encyclopedic experiences in easy to comprehend sentences. Read him.
I have started a few different articles inspired, influenced and directly reflecting my interpretations of John's poetry, prose', music and cultural impact. Some of these are posted here at this ACRILLIC blog. I'll be adding more as i edit the material and get around to posting it. Also, expect some new DJ FLY, DJ mixe's and radio shows in the near future, John has been encouraging us to make show's....

Special thanks to Steve Fly at the 420 Café
Looking at my logs for 2008 at the end of the year I was gassed to think back on all the places I’d made episodes of the show during the year, starting and ending at the 420 Café and hitting other Amsterdam spots like the Rock-It Coffeeshop on the Nieuwmarkt, The Dolphins by the Leidseplein, Coffeeshop Basjoe, Eat at Jo’s in the Melkweg, Hempshopper on the Singel canal, Overtoom 301, OCCII, and the Cannabis College.
On my travels I made programs at WWOZ Radio, Piety Street Recording, Handa Wanda’s, and in the streets of New Orleans on Mardi Gras; at the Butchers inn, No Cover Studio, the Holice P. Woods Studio, the Jazz Loft and the Bohemian National Home in Detroit; SkyDog Tower in Paris; Tokyo Hipsters Club and the Ooze Charm Coffeeshop in Tokyo; the ZXZW Festival in Tillburg and Megaplaten in Utrecht, NL; Pheasant Hollow Winery in Wittenburg IL; Common Ground on the Hill and the Roots Music & Arts Festival in Westminster MD; Piazza del Erbe and Cafe Mentelocale at the International Poetry Festival in Genoa; Lee Harris’ Croft in East Anglia UK and a ton of shows in London including the HeadPress Bunker, Royal Festival Hall, City Inn Art Cafe, CafÈ Oto, World’s End Tavern, Raindance Film Festival HQs, Biddle Bros. Bar, Second Layer Records, Rough Trade Records, Bamalama Poster Shop, Big Green Books, Waterstones Books and Resonance Radio at The Foundry.
Man! No wonder they call me the Hardest Working Poet in Show Business. That’s covering a lot of ground for a man who made 67 years old last October 2nd, if I do say so myself.
I was enjoying a very relaxing holiday season at my new residence in Amsterdam near the Oosterpark where Steve Fly & Sweet Jane have made a room for me when all of a sudden both of my hosts were gone to visit their families in England and Norway, respectively, and I was all alone on Christmas Eve. To keep from getting lonely I thought I should begin a major year-end-type project and, after bringing all my files as up-to-date as I could manage, I took on the exhilarating task of assembling a new book from my 44-year treasure trove of writings.
For some years now I’ve wanted to make a book of my writings from and about New Orleans called Mardi Gras to the World, and once I put my nose to the grindstone I had a ball digging out everything I could find in my files, knocking the dust off, up-dating and beating up the writing a little bit and stitching the pieces together to make up a fairly coherent compendium of stories from 1976-2008, as follows:

C is for COINCIDANCE 1:11 PART 2.
How do i say it? how to describe the synchro-mesh of tech-support Dr. Robert Anton Wilson has provided humanity?
http://tsogblogsphere.blogspot.com/
Well, i am editing my NOVEL at the moment, and i hope this will help contextualize some of my "saying it" but of course its limited. Sometimes its best to let the texts speak for themselves, and so the author, Coincidance:A Head Test. By RAW is possibly my favourite of RAW's operating manuals for spaceship word. The HUMANITAS shines through on aspects of Economics, Religion, Politics, Science and conspiracy theory with a "precision and research" based language unparralled in 21st century culture, plus a dram' of HILARITAS and a wind of goodcheer puts RAW at the TOP OF THE TREE for me, regarding the capturing of what it's like to live in the 2st century - in English.
The big questions for us in 2009 of Consciousness, Mind and matter, Brain and Mind, Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology and social cybernetics are tested and noted in all of RAW's writings since around 1958. The consistency and the accuracy of Robert Anton Wilson's choice of quality critters - whom have circled him like a flock of Hawks for over 50 years help to make his reseacrh and feedback all the more credible in 2009 IMHO. Starting with only Giordano Bruno and Giambattista Vico you can see how they're arguments from way back then are today at the forefront of the majority of crisis, conflict and mis-understanding around the world. Centralization of power and the rejection of poetic myth and poetic history as a form of good statemenshop in favor of faith-based and divinely guided - church/states, for one example. And when these heretical peaceniks are woven into sentences, chapters, books and beyond by BOB they sit, like jewells in a timeless - space - floating inbetween states. A MAYBE. To be apprehended by the reader at any time if thy will, but by no means presented to them defacto! as a noun. A Thing, to either blame or worship as a saviour. Just a better, more intelligent data-field from which to begin asking better and more intelligent questions, hopefully from a comprehensive HUMANISTIC perspective. Thought-Actions on behalf of all-humanity. We need more of these thought-actions in aid of all humanity, like the works of Bucky Fuller, to pull together and put the fundamentalist materialist faith-based fossils into museums and Zoo's, on display for the public to read and compare.
"It is amusing (or bemusing) to note that binary and I Ching are not only isomorphic to Finnegans Wake but also, as Martin Schoenberger has noted, to the genetic code. -- RAW. Coincidance. p. 165.
"i am alpha and omega, the first and the last, saith the lord. -- Revelations 1:11."
"The double helix of the DNA does indeed look like a "strandentwining cable" and it is distincly odd that Joyce seems to have had the ALP and O and 1 binary symbols in mind so long before FW. -- RAW. Coincidance p. 170.

SCUZE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY by flyagaric23
M.C. Escher and Finnegans Wake & MONK
In searching for visual metaphors for Joyce's master-built - Finnegans Wake - the great master of impossible objects to the eye - M.C Escher stands as a near perfect puzzle fit. If the word were able to be broken down into the 17 wallpaper - tessilations - then Finnegans Wake would be the SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC - the deployment of all wallpapers within a laboratory space - investigating and remixing itself, turning the world inside out, upside down with mathematical precision. Making the impossible equations of Quantum Mechanics and the newer fields of Consciousness studies into new MAPS, CHARTS, DIAGRAMS and TOOLS. With which to make further readings with.
Searching for M.C. Escher by name in Finnegans Wake turns up such possible - mini impossible ESCHER DRAMAS - made more probable by Joyce - such as:
"Fortissa, that Honuphrius has blasphemously confessed under
voluntary chastisement that he has instructed his slave, Mauritius, to
ur;,e Magravius, a commercial, emulous of Honuphrius, to solicit
the chastity of Anita. Anita is informed by some illegitimate
children of Fortissa with Mauritius (the supposition is Ware's)
that Gillia, the schismatical wife of Magravius, is visited
clandestinely by Barnabas, the advocate of Honuphrius, an immoral
person who has been corrupted by Jeremias. -- J.J. F.W. P 572.
"Of course, my
pledge between us, there's no-one Noel like him here to
hear. Esch so eschess, douls a doulse! -- James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, 588.
That's the point of eschatology our book of kills reaches
for now in soandso many counterpoint words. What can't be
coded can be decorded if an ear aye sieze what no eye ere grieved
for. -- J.J, F.W. P. 482.
"He beached the bark of his tale; and set to husband and vine:
and the harpermaster told all the living conservancy, know
Meschiameschianah, how that win a gain was in again. -- J.J, F.W. p. 358
I'll leave the rest to the imagination. Google Escher, look at his work, now read some of Finnegans Wake - and maybe even listen to some Theolonious MONK.

GA is for GRAFFITI ABORTISEMENT
GRAFFABORTISEMENT!
"There are doubtless millions of people that are fascinated by the technical prowess and exacting graphic skill of one, Maurits Cornelis Escher. His imagination captured mine at a very early age, probably the first visual art that actually grabbed my deficient attention. I developed an early interest in mathematics, no doubt assisted by the many wonderful prints that Maurits would labour over tirelessly. I have been considering ‘remixing’ his work for years, and its eventually come to pass. I’m working on a set of three tributes. ‘Writing Hands’ is also a tribute to the world of graffiti WRITERS, part of a new campaign ‘Human Writes’ aswell - although it seemed pretty obvious to substitute the drawing pens with a marker and an aerosol can, the execution was purposefully loose. -- CHU http://www.schudio.co.uk/blog/2009/m-c-escher-tribute-2-of-3/
Some Aerosol Graffiti Artists’ manifest "imposseeblu" objects, sombunall based on alphabetical forms. Some BURST others bust! Graffiti Artist.n.t - blowing up - Alphabits with wind and semantext & putting word and world back together, back on the wall humpty fell from. Repairing the great language crash of 2009. Some Impossible lettengineers pay structural tribute to M.C Esher. Some experimental ASTRACTIVISTS use& Gurilla attack systems of Graffiti application, and deployment, adding to the information quotent within the surprise = information equation. span style="font-size:130%;"> CHU's latest TRILOGY are a self-described "tribute to M.C ESCHER and GRAFFITI ARTISTS worldwide." Parts 1 & 2 have been deployed already - we await the 3'rd. Waterfalls? 3 cubes? Mobius Strip II?
Bebop turned Broadway upside down. Graffiti Art and has turned the modern ART Gallery INSIDE OUT. The streets have become galleries, again. With hidden treasure and tales for attentive observers. Publik Big Brother public amuses himself, themself and itself. Most Graffiti Artists have an inbred rejection of faux icons and defend the word-world by perpetually turning things inside out. Outside in. Like the experience a witnessing an Escher world view.
Pirating instruments and techniques to decorate and reconstruct environments, out smarting culture vulture by decades. Aeons. Some Graffiti ARTISTS in 2009 are on the cusp of putting some meaning back into HUMAN RIGHTS with HUMAN WRITES. Making sense of a topsy turvey world, faux Image, woided-word and manipulated meaning - hijacked by the greed monsters, Advertising execorpses, Vulture Ministers and Whig Botherhood. Spin doctored.

"flip yourself head over heels, as if swinging over a waist-high horizontal bar in front of you. Now your heart is on the same side as the mirror-person's heart-but your feet and head are in the wrong places, and your stomach, although at approximately the right height, is upsidedown. So it seems a mirror can be perceived as reversing up and down, provided you're willing to map yourself onto a creature whose feet are above its head. It all depends on the ways that you are willing to slip yourself onto another entity. -- Douglas Hofstader. The Mind's I: Fantasies and Reflections on Self and Soul (co-edited with Daniel Dennett)"

"I also updated the piece to depict a modern market area, a supermarket or shopping mall, filled with glass panels (shamelessly achieved by the use of a paper edge). Instead of the three views culminating in exit points to organic backgrounds or nature, I chose to make the whole space an interior, with backgrounds of a shop, car park and a public sliding-door entrance.

"as if everything were not in displacement, detour, transference, metaphor everything is in the love potion of seduction... --Jean Baudrillard writes in Dust Breeding, 2001.
"We used to think that physics described the Universe. Now we know that physics only describes what we can say about the Universe. -- Niels Bohr. Quoted from "Quantum Psychology. RAW."
"The matrix is the kind of film about the matrix that the Matrix could have produced -- Jean Baudrillard.
"Consciousness is not only a way out of the evolutionary impasse, says Hilbrandt, but also an escape from the snares of Godelization, for by means of paralogistic contradictions this solution has sidestepped the contradictions to which every system that is perfect with respect to logic is subject.

RED FLY STUDIOS
I was stunned to see the website - flashed out - of the new GAME MUSHROOM MEN, from red fly studios.
They have dug deep into mushroom folklore, biology and panspermia: (the seeeding of life on earth by extraterrestrial spores) and come up with a condensed interactive environment to explore these ideas through game play.
I am personally thrilled by the game and all of its positive iconography and names and wordplay and - poetry. It maybe the most naturally symbiotic GAME yet, as many of the ideas correlate, somewhat, with our own earth based natural fungus infested landscapes and spore packed planet. Indeed, you can play the game and then see some of it unfold in your back garden or local forrest, field or park. You might even find an interactive species and take it back to the video game world of mushroom men and see for yourself the endless possibilities of the spore of the words.
That Les Claypool has been involved with the project makes shroomsense and adds that extra cutting edge feeling of fungal wisdom and funkation'.
http://mushroommen.com/news/pre-order-today
"Mushroom Men – Rise of the Fungi tells the story of the birth of the Mushroom Men. It starts out with the simple tribe of Bolete learning to live off the land. They struggle against their environment for a time until the Amanitas Empire arrives. To their dismay, the Bolete learn that their fellow Mushroom Men aren’t any better than the hostile insects and other creatures that threaten them.
Mushroom Men – The Spore Wars, the Wii version of the game picks up where the DS leaves off. The Spore Wars rage fully across the miniature landscape. The societies have advanced to a point where theology and metaphysical pursuits have developed. Pax does not yet understand his place in the world of Mushrooms, when he accidentally absorbs a meteorite while training with the Bolete Sage. Pax is then banished until he can bring back another of the life-giving rocks that the Sage believes made the Mushrooms sentient."

FBI is for Faith Based Initiative: OBAMA. Fly feedback (II)
Bush's promotion of ties to religious institutions raised constitutional concerns from the left as well as the right. For the black community, troubling issues run deeper than the possibility of constitutional circumvention. In reality, governmental links to the religious community did not begin with Bush. In fact, Clinton's welfare reform bill had a faith based component built into it. -- Ricky L. Jones. I don't care what Jesus would do, I've got to get paid. What's wrong with Obamamania. SUNNY PRESS 2008.
I'm concerned about FAITH BASED INITIATIVES in the US and within the UK. F.B.I's are a serious blockage to 21st century data and research based initiatives being enacted and relized in our communities. These FBI screens and FBI superstition guided excuses for foul, divinely guided policy seem based on mystical thinking. Superstition. Dogma. And firthermore, are simply out dated in light of 21st century scientific methods, reasearch, technological breakthroughs: Neurological relativity and HUMANISTIC RESEARCH BASED INITIATIVES. As Buckminster Fuller As Bob so neatly sez it put...
Faith and docility are the bulwarks of Tsarism; any hint of scientific knowledge, rationality or even plain "horse sense" among the serfs are its major worries, and it blocks them every way it can.http://www.rawilson.com/tsog.shtml
Obama may help to unite the Christian, Muslim, Jewish tribes together, in a business like meditation, in prayer, faith and some more business, and some conflicting interests. Religion and Politics may find a new synthesis through Obama. But, if it is through a unity of blind faith (as distinct from a older Buddhist faith,) then in some sense unity may just be a snowballing new world order, getting bigger and more unified and so more problematic? As i feel that small maybe beautiful! Big banks, big economies and big engines, the boom bust cycle goes for everything - galaxies, human cells, atoms, economies, boom & bust.
"While business (fund raisning, institutional expansion, etc.) has always been an aspect of the black church, in many ways the black megachurch is a business. Unfortunately, along with the size, power, and influence such entities bring, they (like other large business) also carry with them veracious appetities for economic resources that must be fed. -- Ricky L. Jones. The "Right" Partnerships: Black Religious Elites, Conservative Politicians, and faith-based access points.
Looking at faith from a scientific and philosophical point of view we must question it's use within governments and organizations in 2009. Who's GOD, spelt in who's language, in who's context? I ask that if the single almighty creator of all things, the omnipotent one, the lord GOD who art in heaven is so, then you can and must have an equal and opposite faith in not-all and not-everything, so then it might follow that there is no need for a faith based initiative. Everything and everybody is equal, in some sense, (A STAR) and so humanity based initiatives based on the best data from other human beings and feedback from human beings seem the quickest way to foster a planetary recovery from economic, eccological and linguistic collapse.
GT: What is your feeling about this administration's favor towards faith-based organizations?
Robert Anton Wilson: Bush wants to put his money into faith-based organizations. You know what faith means? Huckleberry Finn explained it at the beginning of that great novel: Faith is believing what you know ain't so. That is what Bush's whole career and the whole Bush crime family career is based on: getting people to have faith in what they know ain't so - like his prescription drug plan. -- http://www.deepleafproductions.com
Maybe Obama has already read RAW's TSOG essay, i hope so, because if he is serious about putting the United States Constitution back together again i strongly feel that the roll of the CIA and its network of faith based espionage over the last 60 years requires a complete review, salvaging anything worth telling the kids about that may make them proud of their country and the planet. Same goes for the UK and the history of MI5 other than the sad fact that we don't have a Robert Anton Wilson essay to condense and detail our history like the US does. I am personally excited by Obama's intellectual interests and talk of knowledge and new dialogue. RAW would be too if he was here with us to join in some feedback.
"It's alright to tell a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps, but it is a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to life himself by his own bootstraps. -- M. L. King.
Well a man without the kind of right faith in the right country is a bootless man indeed. In the US / UK we have a Faith based hijacking of any democratic or statemanship like good governance left. It does not seem to matter which of the two lying bastards are in power: republicrat or conlabortive, it's as if the executive descisions regarding the most critical areas of - action, non-action, investment, support and spending and non-spending are carried out by FAITH based government. Acting in the interests of the private corporations, the bankers and their stock holders. Not for the people and by the people. Like the false information circulated in order to illegally invade Iraq, and the holes in the 911 investigation and a long line of inhumane and hyper-crooked activities perpertrated by the US / UK Euro TSOG. Under both chains of the Republican and Democratic US parties and the whips of the Conservative and Labour parties in the UK, respectively, from my experience, i have noticed that they all act upon the same impulses when working at their most dangerous and deceptive. FAITH.
"The democracy established in America in the eighteenth century was not, and was not designed to be a democracy of the masses of men and it was thus singularly easy for people to fail to see the incongruity of democracy and slavery. -- W. E. B. Du Bois.
Many artists and writers have left us textual maps to help us figure out a better humanity, those that have withstood the test of time best seem to be those infused with the most novelty, scientific structure and all-around-the-world view. In some sense:
James Joyce warned us and made us feel paranoid at times, by using his unique writing - of both the Church, and the State, of the Pope and the President/Prime Minister. Ezra Pound warned us of Usury and International Bankers, Arms dealing and rice powder poetry, of credit crunches and war fought over sacred scripture and/or natural resources. Eric Blair warned us of the police state and the electronic prison that awaits anybody not actively resisting control at all times. Of the nightmare of British authoritarianism.
Aleister Crowley warned us of the spiritual and religious pariahs and charlatans who may one day implement a Christian/Muslim/Judaic New World Order. Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson warned us of the pharmacratic inquisition, the piss police and the DEA (Dutch English American) led war on some people who use some drugs. Wilhelm Reich warned us of a male dominator dictatorship, supression of the functions of the orgasm and bullying by the American Medical Association. William S. Burroughs warned us of crooked evil law men and their old pinched, wrinkled up old faces.
I mention warned here, above, to imply that these great thinkers were on the side of what i personally value as good, for the liberation of the individual and the community and the breaking free from slavery, both physical and mental. The above writers were antenna for the race and i believe, somewhat temporarily that they have produced works which offer a working textual interface to begin some 21st century dialogue about identity, knowledge, culture, warfare, economics, consciousness and harm reduction. Yet at the moment it seems that these and many more humanitarian geniuses with a flare for individuality and liberation have been swepty under the carpet of modern political debate and discussion, deemed too obscure, irrelavent, blasphemous or worse. Diss-speakable. Now in the age of internet we can more reasonably pitch our arguments, alternatives, maps and metaphors.
And so, the Constitution in tatters, spies everywhere, we inhabit "one nation under surveillance with wiretaps and mail covers for all;" and everybody is terrorized about whether their houses and property will be seized next. In short, we find ourselves, as Trotsky found the Russians a century ago, midway between European monarchism and Asiatic despotism. -- Robert Anton Wilson. TSOG.
We do not turn a new page or start a new chapter with Obama. The world is now an open book and we all have the responsibility to write and feedback upon some of the most pressing issues con fronting us. Faith. Research. Consciousness. Time. Spirit? The big questions are seemingly centering themselves in 2009 around the questions of consciousness. How does it operate, why, where are the things you are thinking of when you think of them? The source? The paradox? the law of opposites, of coincidance of contraries?
I often feel it worth mentioning, as a slight digression, that most statespeople, politicians and religious leaders in 2009 neglect THE CANTOS of Ezra Pound at their peril. It has a certain magnetic forcefield surrounding it, timewound, like an unexploded bomb poised for the world-culture to work through it again, to work out it's keys, seals, and re-read and re-translate it's maps and metaphors in a new way that unleashes a torrent of international communications and dialogue. So Encouraging individuals and Nations across the world to draw up their constitution, their poem and their story, and to compare and cross fertilize with others, older ones, the classics, way back to the complex of origins, of the epist, or the phonetic. Way back. No political mouth piece i have ever heard - except Guns and Dope party candidate Hagbard Celine' - has spoke of Pound's Cantos as a text worthy of study for any 21st centuy citizen.
Same of Joyce, Leary, Crowley, Reich, McLuhan. All of whom were before their time as creative geniuses and punished by authority for their exceedingly rich intelligence.

OBAMA & HIP HOP? fly feedback. (I)
Hip Hop culture, rap, graffiti, turntablism and breakdancing? African American community and non-African American community HIp Hop? what? Rap vs. Poetry. Graffiti vs. Art. Breakdancing vs. Ballet. Turntablism vs. Automated Radio broadcast. How to define Hip Hop? Who distributes it and how? Old School, Gangster, Conscious, underground, Krunk, Christian vs. Muslim Hip Hop cliche'.
Those who distribute the message and have the means to shape it and mass produce it also further define it in accordance with the monopoly of meaning and media-spheres of influence to propogate that single sighted truth. What of Rap vs. Poetry, Graff vs. Art etc. conflict, two-valued logic games highlight dualisms in which most but not all HIP HOP culture seems to be wrestling with on masse. As if it has not already totally permeated every part of everyday life, langugage and culture. Like an African American language virus eating up stiff white English meat: Hip Hop culture has transformed the worlds cultural, political, economic and linguistic landscape. But what parts of the new HIP HOP culture of 2009 resemble those of 5, 10, 20 or 30 years ago, when HIP HOP and the four elelments were coming together for the first in such a urban street hip incarnation.
I have my own views of what real HIP HOP culture and music are, were and should be. And as a DJ have spent more than 15 years making mix tapes, mixing beats and developing the art of turntablism for my own ends, listen to these tapes and tracks for yourself and come to your own conclusions. I mean to say that one sure sign of HIP HOP seems to be a strong sense of self reference. Identity and purpose! To be living the way, the path, and for the art, for the the word and the music. Yes. A way of life in the fullest sense of the word. Therefore we have a large degree of self explanation involved, but sadly those not out on the streets or inside the music studios fail to experience the kind of lifestyles many of the artists lead and which they reflect upon in their work. Reflect, redirect and blow into and out-of proportion. Depending on a massive flux of socio economic factors, and personal aesthetic and structural descisions that each HIP HOP artist may encounter.
Alike most things in modern consumer life, 90% of HIP HOP, as we know it - around the world - seems shallow, predictable, dogmatic, and full of cliche'. No surprises there. But its that small percentage of great inventive, improvisational and creative individuals that we are aiming to highlight, push forward into the mediasphere and let loose upon the agricultural industrial military media that helped spawn it. HIP HOP as the invention of new languaging tools to help make tribal bonds within the new electronic tribal world (1970's) and F-E-E-D-B-A-C-K using microphones, spray cans, dancing, walls, turntables, amplifiers.
With organizational groups within communities creating SPORTING meetings between local ARTISTS in a similar spirit to that of the great African Indian American's and the Mardis Gras Indians battles. ART. Music, song, dance, poetry, graffiti! In neighbourhoods across New York and Brooklyn and then reaching out around America and the rest of the world, HIP HOP culture began to spread. Another Black Revolutionary Language virus was on the loose and taking over sound systems and boomboxs and the radio waves, like Blues, Country, Jazz, Rock and Roll music before it - HIP HOP would rock and shock the nation' and was spreading to every street corner and every store, every radio channel and every TV station, everything had something connected with HIP HOP culture within the small period of roughly 20 years. But, as i keep repeating - along that road something happened to HIP HOP, a hijacking?
The DJ's stopped being such a crucial center piece of the experience, backing tracks played more often than a beat juggler! The Graffiti writers no longer followed the MC, tagging and designing the environment on the fly, using all their worldly experience as a Graffiti icon, defender of the word, truth and beauty and all things that resemble those things; meanwhile the breakdancers also splintered off into the FAME school or fitness academy - at least seemingly to my eyes and ears around about 1996-98 when HIP HOP started to emerge into the mainstream of UK music culture, and become the most popular US musical export, overtaking ROCK music by 2001. By which time i was in the US playing turntables with a band called Garaj Mahal, who defy musical definition, and kindly invited me to plug in my turntables and introduce scratching, samples and beats to the music, jam and represent. (type: DJ FLY AGARIC 23 + GARAJ MAHAL and search)
I have already raised many questions, and don't pretend to give any easy answers, as the field of HIP HOP culture maintains many more knowledgeble and versatile minds than my own, plus individuals who can realize American HIP HOP and African American Hip Hop culture from expereince more so than my own UK Gothic Hip Hop cultural pickling that culminated in my recording with early UK HIP HOP crew NEW Flesh FOR Old, on one of the most respected and own personal favorite HIP HOP music labels from the UK: BIG DADA recordings, sister label to the mighty NINJATUNE.
My major concerns about HIP HOP and the new American President Obama and his comments and interest in SOME hip hop revolve around the question of who decides what is GOOD hip hop and what is BAD. What are the values - hierarchy of values - with which the comparisons are drawn? What shall we do about the N word? or for that matter any other single WORDS that are deemed different, special, more meaningful and powerful than the others? what of context? what of the arts of deception? of language used to persuade and coerce people by forcing them into two valued logic traps.
What of aristotelian logic games? and epistemology, the question of origins? the divine rights of kings, the greek letters fraternity? what of the NEW language? Of CHINA and Ideogram? HIP HOP and Graffiti? compare them? how many GRAFFITI superstars? Ask yourself questions about ART and |Culture, the balance between the visual arts and the aural arts? Record deals and Mural commisions? Compare the fine ART industry and the recording industry? Economically and then from the point of view of public entertainment and celebrity status?
Why have we allowed HIP HOP culture to be cracked open and robbed its meaning, satisfied with an empty shell of material beef rappers and mouth pieces. Why did we loose the balance between the four legs of DJ'ing, MC'ing, Graffiti and Breakdancing? Here i find a more interesting place for study, as the likes of JZ, Kayne and other outspoken supporters of OBAMA seem to have forgotten the other 3 disciplines and the fact that one of them: GRAFFITI is deemed ILLIGAL and a Crimnial activity by the worlds backwards government authorities from Australia to the UK and the USA. ARTCRIMES is the name of the largest online GRAFFITI archive for a good reason!
President OBAMA! Graffiti and Hip Hop? If you want to help educate the youth and inspire their minds open up the designated Graffiti areas, and teach them how to modify their environments for the benifit of the many rather than the few. And any UK authorities reading this i urge you to quickly do the same. But, alas i suspect that a political figure who can speak smoothly about music and about HIP HOP in particular (as the biggest youth culture movement of the 21st century) coming from the UK is sadly unlikely within the next 8 years. Since the criminal Justice act of 1994 in the UK they have been moving towards a police state and surveliance culture, from my own observations. The United Kingdom has never seen the coming together of some quality artists and politicians like what we have just witnessed in the USA, the closest links between celebrities and the state in the UK are through sporting avenues, maybe best embodied in one man: Lord Sebastian Coe. Say 'HIP HOP' in the houses of parliament and the echos will ring out as if Horace Andy sang em. But if the UK wants to stay on the scene, themn it better get up! and rise to the new age of African American Culture, including HIP HIP, Blues, Jazz and Reggae. In fact, anybody who wants to do business, dazzle and turn on the Obama administration better have some soul music, some improvisational skills and at least a breif understanding of HIP HOP culture. Rap. Graffiti. DJ'ing and why YOUTH culture are using these tools to revolutionize humanity, in the minds of the people.
I am still only just getting to wrestle with the questions of poetry, what is it, what does it mean? And so to distill poetry from Rap and Hip Hop culture requires a firm foundation for describing what poetry is, in fact, how it operates, its structure and other pointers, without which it remains simply language, charged with the upmost meaning.

DT is for Dutch Tolerance
RAW: You're moving to Siberia? That's not such a bad idea, I thought about moving to Amsterdam.
[I found the city of Amsterdam to be one of the more liberal thinking cities of Europe.]
RAW : Yeah, it's been that way for a long time, when the queen who sponsored Columbus's voyage, Isabelle - when she expelled all the Jews from Spain, Holland accepted them, which has made it a very liberal country ever since and that's where Spinoza wrote and most of the major philosophers you find spent a couple of years in Holland because they were banned in their own country and had to run for their lives, some of them died in Holland. Descartes lived in Holland for a while so did Spinoza, so did a lot of them and they have always been very forward thinking and according to a friend of mine in southern California they own most of the banks which own most of the English banks which own most of the American banks which own most of the corporate capitalist world - at the same time; it doesn't matter how much their people fuck and smoke dope and get high and enjoy themselves. [laughs]
"Testing Dutch tolerance
By H.D.S. Greenway | February 21, 2006
BERLIN
WHEN IT comes to welcoming immigrants, the Dutch have long been among the nicest guys in Europe. When the Jews were kicked out of Spain in 1492, the Dutch opened their doors to them when others didn't. When the Pilgrims were in trouble in England, the Dutch took them in before they sailed for America. In modern times, the ever-tolerant Dutch took in guest workers and asylum seekers, many of them from Muslim countries, and left them to their own devices. -- http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/02/21/testing_dutch_tolerance/
MO MOWLAM on the War on Some people who use some Drugs.
Thankyou MO MOWLAM: a voice crying in the wilderness.
Mo' introduces some ANTI PROHIBITION wisdom with a paragraph we should pay close attention to for clarity upon the DOPY Terrorism inflicted by our Czarist government upon us every day. To me now, in 2009: INVESTMENTS, BANKING, PROHIBITION & TERRORISM seem connected to the MILITARY and INTELLIGENCE agencies, based on the new data since MO passed away. The FALSE and so miss-information of NUKES being in IRAQ to hypnotize and dazzle.
MO then goes on into her LEGALIZATION strategy and i'll quote her to the end, as i feel its so good, progressive and amazes me that it comes from a BRITISH politician as it sounds nothing like LINDA WALL THROW or Maggie Thatcher to me, or like the chest beating M.P's, except one or two - George Galloway and maybe another?

"While the United States and Britain continue to assert that toppling Saddam
Hussein's regime in Iraq is the best next step in the war against terrorism, I
would like to suggest a more productive course of action. The problem with
terrorism, as has been recognised from the beginning of this campaign, is that
it does not occupy a particular territory nor own clearly identifiable assets
that can be attacked and destroyed. Many terrorists live in the United States
and Europe; their assets are the funds they keep in conventional investments,
and the only means of detection is through good intelligence."
MO then goes on into her LEGALIZATION strategy and i'll quote her to the end, as i feel its so good, progressive and amazes me that it comes from a BRITISH politician as it sounds nothing like LINDA WALL THROW or Maggie Thatcher to me, or like the chest beating M.P's, except one or two - George Galloway and maybe another?
"Even President Bush has made the connection: "It is important for
Americans to know that the traffic in drugs finances the work of terror,
sustaining terrorists, that terrorists use drug profits to fund their cells to
commit acts of murder."
May I suggest that rather than bombing civilians in
various Muslim countries, the United States and Britain begin to take a more
intelligent approach to the international drugs trade: namely, to legalise it.
For by doing this, not only will we help solve one of the major problems facing
the world today, the unregulated growth of drugs trafficking, but it would also
further isolate the terrorists.
It is hard to assess the size of the
international drugs trade, but in 1999 the UN Human Development report estimated
it to be around $400bn a year, equivalent to the GDP of a country the size of
Spain and representing, at that time, about 8% of world trade. This makes it
second only as an industry to the arms trade at $800bn a year, and ahead of oil
and gas, and chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Not only does this point to the
existence of widespread criminal activity, it also indicates that a large amount
of corrupt money is being fed into the world economy on an annual basis. There
is a corrosive effect where money derived from crime is introduced into the
legal economy - who is to say that large-scale financial decisions are being
made not for the most efficient use of such funds, but because they will
facilitate their most efficient laundering.
But it is not just corruption
that is the issue. The harmful effects of drugs are multiplied around the world,
as traffickers pay "mules" and others involved with heroin and cocaine,
spreading both addiction and HIV. It has been estimated that there are 190
million addicts worldwide.
It is clear that the present approach to drugs is
not working, and if the war against drugs fails then we can be sure that the war
against terrorism will also be unsuccessful.
From my experience of being
responsible for drugs policy in the previous government, I came to the
conclusion that legalisation and regulation of all drugs was the only way to
reduce the harmful effects of this unstoppable activity. There are many reasons
why I reached this conclusion, which are too extensive to go into here.
One
of those reasons, though, is that we need to detach the international drugs
business from criminality - not least because it would further isolate
international terrorism by removing the finance and other resources, such as
places for training, and money laundering facilities. It would be a big step
forward in reducing criminality in the world's financial system.
Drugs and
terrorism are linked and are set to become more so. Legalisation of drugs would
stop this connection: it would begin to solve problems caused by drugs today and
would isolate the terrorists.
· Mo Mowlam was in Tony Blair's cabinet from
1997-2001 and was responsible for the government's drugs policy from 1999-2001.
Her memoirs, Momentum, were published in May.

Music and Robert Anton Wilson
FLY: [What are some of your favourite music albums and recording artists?]
RAW: Well, I like and Bach , I like Charlie Parker and Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane . I like Harry Belafonte and The Weavers and a lot of other music. I like Mahler ; I like a lot of music. Next question." http://www.maybelogic.org/maybequarterly/08/0801FlyRAWInterview.htm
THE SUN RA ARKESTRA & Timesplace.
"People have two harps in their head, their ears, just like a harp. They hear by the strings in their ears. If I play something very strange, then some strings that never vibrated before will vibrate. The whole nervous system will become alive -- SUN RA. (Sale 1987: 55, also Corbett 1989: 24).
Brought to congress by Sonny Bount (SUN RA),
A cast of vibrational scientists combine their instruments in new ways
Exploring inner and outer spaces.
"."The Others in Their World", "From Out Where Others Dwell",
"Moon People", "They Dwell on Other Planes".
Like the old hermetical saying, "As above, so below",
You may operate spacetime & skyrockets that lie
Barely inches behind the eye-socket.
Marshall Allen like an optical scientist,
A Dr. of Saxophany. Probing the frequency spectrums.
The 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s were the space-race years
SUN RA and his Arkestra were in the race,
Playing the musical Nemesis of the arms-race.
Life music in good time.
John Gilmore breaking sound & light boundaries
Thought previously to be, boundaries.
Iron birds fly from the horn.
Babbling brook and chattering river voices.
From the 65' Coltrane explosion, fragments linger
Like soft spoken Billie's echoplextasy.
July 28th 1969: John Sinclair’s bogus trial had been postponed,
Temporarily for the spectacle of the moon landing.
After the landing the judges sentenced John to 10 years in jail
For being - set up - with two joints by an undercover police
Robot officer.
"The Satellites are Spinning", "The Cosmo-Fire",
"Lights on a Satellite", "Cosmo-Energy", "Friendly Galaxy",
"Irregular Galaxy", "Space is the Place."
“Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives useful equations, not for abstract figures, triangles, spheres, and the like, but equations for the human emotions” –Ezra Pound.
SUN RA's interpretation of SPACE, TIME, TRAVEL,
MUSIC, JAZZ, PHILOSOPHY, ASTROLOGY,
MAGICK, POETRY, LANGUAGE and
INTER-PLANETARY ECONOMICS have stayed NEWS.
Most of the evidence is time-binded into various artefacts,
Records (ESP DISKS) books, linear notes of poetry
Scattered about earth for humanity to discover and reactivate.
Dark star Danny Davis Alto Sax. The great
Pat Patrick blowing vortex about clarinet.
I admire Sun Ra for openly embracing the Full Blown Myth
And living his life according to his vision.
RA made a magical oath and transformed himself using a new program.
Changing reality in conformity with will as empowered by musical
Instruments, new methods, languages, symbol systems and
Hermetic-cosmological data.
"Sun Ra asserted that the ever-changing name of his ensemble reflected the ever-changing nature of his music." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Ra
The relatively inexpensive, open source research that Sun Ra
Conducted benefitted the whole tribe.
Sun Ra was manifesting hyperdimensional physics equations
Using the stage as his living laboratory and timesplace.
Sharing scientific results with humanity via the language of music,
Hieroglyph and poetically attenuated alphabet "word"
NASA has no music and so not much chance of reaching the stars IMHO.
Like SUN RA, scientific methods for intergalactic shifting.
Atakatun, Odun and Chiea 6 hands as 24' on congas.
My own experimentation with music and altered states
Of awareness quickly led me to the music of Sun Ra,
John Coltrane, Miles and other exciting recordings
From the legends of the jazz idiom.
I was a late bloomer and missed the original scene, by 30 years
Influenced by the book - More brilliant than the sun by Kodwo Eshun
Kindly lent to me by a DJ and Sun Ra fan: Kevin Gator.
"Imagination", "Enlightenment", "Strange Dreams",
"Rocket Number Nine", "Journey Among the Stars",
"Moonship Journey", "We Travel the Spaceways",
"Strange Celestial Road",
Other sufficiently connected musicians exhibit
An equal mastery of healing Vibrational states
And musical moderated psychology -
Coltrane, Monk, Alice Coltrane,
Pharoah, Miles, these artistic spacetime explorers are
Distinguished from NASA's rocket propulsion technologists
And their use of mathematical trajectories,
Directed for the outer-space walking missions,
That cost Billions of bio-survival tickets and yet,
Produce no music, literature or new space philosophy.
Billy Higgins and Earl Buster Smith on drum-mathstrology
"I would say that it's black from the point of view that it's still got the darkness of myth. And it really pinpoints ancient Egypt in a definite way" -- SUN RA. (Burks 1969: 17).
Like many breakthroughs before their time
SRA was largely ignored, mocked and misunderstood in his own time.
Treated like Finnegans Wake by James Joyce as being "obscure".
A Chaosmos of languages voicing spirits
All-at-once. Throwing sound and image onto the mind.
Jazz meets “free jazz” “sound Art” “experimental music”
“Cosmic Jazz” Cosmic! The Sun Ra Arkestra owns the term "cosmic music."
Used here to denote: scientifically speaking: Astrologically
& harmonically - Neurologically - modulated communications.
Ruth Wright as Earth mother. Soft screams and Primal scream.
Jazz of the spheres. Black Timespace Jazz, make it new.
Changes...Sun Ra and His Arkestra dedicate their lives to
The musical magickal ARTs
Their music deserves a deeper look,
A band of psychonauts aware of each other
And fully conversive. Each instrument and human being
Open at al times. Conversive.
In a state of extra sensory awareness,
Growing new ears on stage in front of the world
Tommy Hunter makes a jungle and a skyscraper
From percussion instr...
Open-source musical offerings of wild discipline,
Shamanic ritual chants and intonations, song and spoken word.
As John Sinclair asks -
“What is Jazz, but spirituals played through horns, piano’s”
Don Cherry, Philly Jo Jones and Archie Shepp make
HIROSHIMA HIROSHIMA!
"Most of the time the avant-garde looks so serious. . .They don't look like they're really having fun. . .I want people to laugh at the costumes I have on" -- SUN RA. (Macnie 1987: 62).
“Which form’s of alternative scripture seem apropriate
For the 20th Century and which for the 21st?“ RAW.
To switch the scripture with music we might then ask
Which forms of alternative music seem most appropriate
For the 21st century?
"Irise, Osirises!" James Joyce, Finnegans Wake Pg. 493.28.
In Literature, and the painted word (ART) and so
ART theory? huh. The only model of choice choice, for me -
Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, and its hologramic form of
streamed self-replicating imagengines structural correspondence with
The "free" "Modern" jazz music of John Coltrane,
Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, John Gilmore, Marshall Allen.
Don Cherry, and so Bird, Lenny Bruce and Lester Young
And on...
"Cosmonaut-Astronaut Rendezvous", "Walking on the Moon",
"Space Shuttle", "When Spaceships Appear",
"As Spaceships Approach", "Journey Stars Beyond",
"Journey Towards Stars", "Journey Outwards".
Furthermore, the Joycean chaosmos of language,
Symbol, sign, pun - spilling out from all parts of the page like perfume
Are arguably comparable with the swirling mass of
Encyclopedic and self-prophesed UNIVERSAL languages
That was the SUN RA ARKESTRA
A new Afroblack Languaging Entity
An Awakening in every sense of the word.
Word-Sound-Image.
“Do people who think "ideogrammically" develop different "brains" than people who think alphabetically? Bucky Fuller and Pound agree with Fenollosa that they do. What do you think?” -- Dr. Robert Anton Wilson. The Tale of the Tribe.
“What planet is this?” “What planet is… this?”
Questions weaving riddles within the dense cloak of
Sound-art like a musical crossword puzzle.
Art, art, surely this is art music, nothing, virtual made flesh
Sheets of sound coming from all quarters.
Infra red to ultra violet. Flashes of horns and heads and regalia
Crashes of cymbal upon cymbal upon symbol.
Roger Blank, and Sun Ra and Robert Cummings drum
The sun myth into the earths atosphere.
Nothing is! so, now,
“What is life? What is death?”
Listeners must rethink for themselves.
The energy runs straight and direct to the mystery,
The unknown – beyond language – places of truth and beauty
The dark Myth, dark magus, the angular regions of dischord,
The nightworld, the sacred dreamspace
Where jazz often dwells
Differential SPACE equations and Cosmic calculus,
Cymbol systems and vibrational codes decoded.
– into the symbols and signs - SUN RA and his Arkestra
Cutting the edge off Avant Garden
It pays to listen to the records more than twice,
Tune into the fantastic conversations between the band,
Their music and their environment.
Out of nowhere!
Vast expanses, Cosmic Chaos, opening up
Seemingly in all directions at once,
Cracking open under foot, like
An atomic detonation under the ground.
Sun Ra Thunder enlightening.
"Nubia", "Africa", "Watusa", "Aiethopia",
"Yucatan", "India", "Overtones of China",
"China Gates", "Ancient Ethiopia"."Ankh",
"Ankhnaten", "Pyramids", "Tiny Pyramids", "Pharoah's Den".
A Musical detonation of language and counterpointed
Fragments. Spezzazo. Splintered.
The word & image shot in all directions
Out through the horn and sent spinning off into hyperspace
Toward Saturn below your right ear.
To Jupiter at the top of your crown
Or any number of planets in the Omniverse within and without.
"Cosmic music is a place of tomorrow, it is the dimension and the balanced perspective of tomorrow . .It speaks to the worlds of the greater potentials awaiting the peoples of the worlds at every future point on every future plane. -- SUN RA. (Burks 1969: 17).
Words gone in and out the horn.
Instruments as word processors write encycopedias
And epics for earth people caught between two worlds.
The Arkestra graceful as a Japanese NOH theatre group
Elo Omoe blow bass clarinet as a FOG horn,
Clearing air, clearing.
A future circuit, looping, building semiotic links
Like a pre-historic search engine of jazz scholars.
Blending intention and music toward void. Null.
Nothing Is.
Something else.
Your guess is as good as mine.
The phalanx of musical languages unleashed
By SRA approximate the sound of all-at-once-music.
Omniversal as Finnegans Wake. Beautiful chaos.
With mind like qualities. Like Elliot Levin.
Like the word-sound-word of Elliot Levin!
“I finished the sirens chapter during the last few days. A big job. I wrote this chapter with the technical resources of music. It is a fugue with all musical notations: piano, forte, rallentando, and so on. A quintet occurs in it, too, as in the meistersinger, my favorite Wagner opera.” – James Joyce
Through the 19th Century American Orientalist
Ernest Fenollosa & then Ezra Pound later picked up on
And expanded somewhat upon this all-at-onceness,
Pound – by way of his IDEOGRAMIC METHOD,
Achieved a higher condensation of information,
Through his new methods, and with the help of his friends,
Humanity received new thinking and processing tools.
Sun Ra and His Arkestra have a similar affinity
With this process of condensation.
Pound and Joyce developed a whole new styling.
Marshall Allen styles the forces through courses of Van Allen Bolts.
Like the way Charlie “Bird” Parker
Made a whole new pattern recognition. A new discovery,
A new styling in music, which others would soon use.
And copy and reclaim.
Jump to John Coltrane and his new ways of connecting,
Condensing and reinterpreting the language of music - further.
Folded standards upon braodway hits upon folk tunes and spirituals
Packed into tighter and tighter packets of information.
Akmed Abdullah blows Trumpet, Noel scot alto sax, John Ore
Swings the bass around the axis, they dwell on other planets.
Entire Albums of what might pass for music in 2009
Are played within just 7 or 8 seconds: balanced equations
On the fly.
Such giant encyclopedic and epic
Imagengines of musical geniuses:
Theolonius Monk, Charlie Parker,
Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny “SUN RA” Blount and his Arkestra.
SUN RA: “When I play I sometimes use “Myth science” – I’ve got some songs that come under that – and then I had some under the solar Arkestra… and then I got the Astro-Infinity – and all of them mean different things to me.
JOHN SINCLAIR: Other Planes of There…
SUN RA: Yes…all of them are based on those other planes, I think people need them now. They should be trying them out, see what’ll happen. In fact they’re gonna have to – because I might be on Jupiter or Mars by then. Because I’m not stopping my program. Now I got the Solar Arkestra, the myth science, and the astro infinity and soon I’ll have something else. Just like a University – I’ve got my different courses set up – and they deal with things that are gonna be beneficial to people –SUN RA. John Sinclair Interview. It's ALL GOOD: A John Sinclair Reader.
"In 1948, he performed informally with a trio consisting of Coleman Hawkins and violinist Stuff Smith. In this year he also made his recording debut with Eugene Wright and His Dukes of Swing, with a group that also included Yusef Lateef. Other activities in Chicago included playing with the Red Saunders band at the Club deLisa, and engagements at the Grand Terrace Club. In the early 1950s he led a nationalist group and began printing and distributing his own pamphlets. -- http://www.ethnomusic.ucla.edu/staff/martinelli/Sun%20Ra.htm
SUN RA makes more sense in the world of internet 2009 that he did in the 1960's.
JVN is for John Von Neumann: Dr. Wilson speaks. Sep. 10. 2002.
With a quad pack of Guinness and some kind Humbolt nuggets I embarked upon my otherwoidly trip to powwow with Bob Wilson at his humble home in Santa Cruz County, California on 10 Artemis. 81 P.S.U. [ 10th September 20002 ]. We had a hearty good belly-laugh together to be fair, Bob's subtle accenting and comedic timing turned what might be read silently as some kind of anarchist plot to overthrow ALL world government tomorrow - into softly glistening satirical situationism, exploding koans and hilarious loopy equations.

FLY Agaric: [Would you be able to talk a little about Von Neumann and Games Theory and how they influenced the cold war?]
RAW: Yeah, I think were all still alive because of John Von Neumann. Von Neumann was the pioneer, or certainly one of the pioneers of programmable computers. The first computers at MIT were put together to solve specific problems then take them apart, put them together again and add another problem and Von Neuman drawn and invented a distinction between hardware and software and how you could use the same computer to do many classes of problems. He also wrote one of the best books on quantum mechanics but that's a digression. He also invented mathematical game theory which he showed could be applied to poker and other games like that, strategy, and to tactics, and to war - pretty soon the Pentagon had a big budget to build computers and play war games on them. "If we attack Russia this way, how much can they hit us back" and the answer was always that the losses were too unacceptable, most of them were usually total obliteration so they went on playing their war games for 30 years until the funding ran out and they decided not to have the war at all because Von Neumann showed that by solving these things in advance then when you know you can't win. Why go ahead and fight? why why why why why wipe yourself out, cut off your nose to spite your face? So that's why we're all still here and that's why most of the controversy and opposition about Bush's desire to invade Iraq, comes from the military because their the ones with the computers who are working out War games with Iraq on their computers, and they know it's not gonna be the cake walk that George Bush imagines. This has been all over, even on television news, all over internet - that the people in the Bush administration, the people leading the rush to war have never served in a war. The opposition is almost entirely military men, they call them Chicken Hawks ; the guys who want war because they have never been in one and have no idea what its like. I can see the United States 20 years from now still bogged down in Afghanistan, still bogged down in Iraq, and attempting to fight Saudi Arabia! OY! - Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. [laughs]

By flyagaric23 (model/video) & Chu (background)
No rational interpretation of the events of August 1968 in Chicago, satisfactory to all participants and observers, has yet been produced. This suggests the need for value-free models, inspired by the structural analysis in von Neumann and Morgenstern's Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, which will allow us to express what actually occurred functionally, without tainting our analysis with bias or moral judgments. The model we will employ is that of two teams, an uphill motorcar race and a downhill bicycle race, accidentally intersecting on the same hill. The Picasso statue in the Civic Center will be regarded as "start" for the downhill motorcar race and "finish" for the uphill bicycle race. Pontius Pilate, disguised as Sirhan Sirhan, fires the opening shot, thereby disqualifying Robert F. Kennedy, for whom Marilyn Monroe committed suicide, as recorded in the most trustworthy tabloids and scandal sheets. |

Fattening Frogs For Snakes. By John Sinclair v. 1.0
By Steven James Pratt.
(The Poet - John Sinclair.)
"he tells us about Johnson's apprenticeship and that original meeting of musician and devil at those famous crossroads, or when he introduces the story of Slim by connecting the gospel of "This Train" with Little Walter's "My Babe" and winds his way back to Slim's namesake, the Sunnyland Train, concluding, "He traveled fast and could be dangerous." Sinclair even has a charming, scholarly way of crediting his sources, name-checking writers like Robert Palmer and Pete Welding as he goes. -- Jon Garelick. http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/music/otr/documents/02458016.htm
Fleastyle feedback:
Here are tales of heroic men
Fighting with music, with a GUITAR
With a harmonica, a tin-can, a bottle
A coke bottle top. Life and Death. Story.
Fighting the snake charm of materialism
The greed machines and pure'
Satanical shitstem.
Industrial-Agricultural-media monster. Ugh.
Here are tales, localized and time-binded in story.
By our beat poet, guest, scholar in residence, in Europe.
Hear to speak right knowledge, and bard on.
Plucking head and heart strings, PING. Another book saved!
Tales for humans to resonate with
Time-space binded Poems, for the general heart mind.
Including history. And all humanity under its light.
A history of history within history
In some sense , retold tales of legend upon legend.
The tale of Fattening Frogs for Snakes;
Singing matter, fucking matter, shouting matter
Dancing matter. Smoking Matter.
Fly feedback....on Poetic historicism,
Music criticism and the post modern
condition of Dr. John Sinclair.
"Fattening Frogs for Snakes," yeh, that's what Americans do, except the ones that really is snakes. That is the United SNAKES ain't it? So from jump, John know, what the definition of hope to die (say when) American is. And he rejects it like the music do. The music reject it because American is a definition of what ain't got no use for the blues or for those who make the blues.--Amiri Baraka, Foreword to Fattening Frogs for Snakes by John Sinclair.
