Woodstock.... were you there?

SashaD — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 05:23:56 GMT

I caught part of a documentary this afternoon on Woodstock. Although technically a "child of the 60's" I was way too young to understand what was going on back then. I hadn't really learned of Woodstock until the 70's, when I was growing up. I learned it was a huge rock festival...but in reality, it seems like so much more than that. The music was the binding agent.

Sooooo.... anyone in this tribe.... were you there? What do you remember of the place? The people? The music? The energy? The experience?

I'd love to read about some first-hand reports from anyone who was there.

Favorite 60's quotes?

adamlink — Mon, 25 May 2009 20:57:04 GMT

Here are mine:

"Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope. " Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

"Avoid all needle drugs. The only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon." Abbie Hoffman

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace. " Jimi Hendrix

“It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.” Robert Fulghum

And several that I am not sure who said them first:

War is not healthy for children and other living things.
Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?
Make love not war.

Protest Songs

Nicole — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:57:29 GMT

Was discussing this with my children (read that as boring them to death) and was thinking it would be interesting to see what songs people pick as their favorite/most moving/most meaningful/best remembered/etc. protest song.

I will start this off with one of mine:

speaking of good old songs and our enxt lives...RIP Mary Travers (Peter Paul and mary)

Judith — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 03:28:36 GMT

I saw this last night when I came home from class. (I'm studying environmental science at College of Marin this semester)

now even if you thought "Leaving on a Jet Plane" was schlock and ", I'll bet you grew up singing Puff the Magic Dragon and hearing PP and M doing "Blowin' in the Wind" and :"Turn Turn Turn" and :If I Had a Hammer" and diggin' it. oh and other kids dsongs, remember "it went whrr when it ran and buss when it stopped and buss when it stood still?" and "Sing tarry-o-day, sing autumn to may" and :If you take my hand my son, wall will be well when the day is doen.."

I went to a liberal Jewish summer camp, Camp JCA at Barton Flats and I swear we sang everything Peter Pal and Mary ever recorded.

I saw and heard them at the Hollywood Bowl a few times growing up, including the Tribute to Woody Guthrie not that long after his death.
someone, I think in the comments for Rolling Stone on line, said, "Puff that mighty dragon sadly crept into his cave" about Ma;s death.

The NY Times obit is about the most detailed (and even ironic) I've seen, makes
sense partly in that Mary was raised in Greenwich Village herself...funny how
provincial the Big Apple and its world-class newspaper can be.

anyway, she, and PPM, were influential on all of us, musicians and listeners,
even if sometimes the sound was a bit commercial compared to some other
performers of the time...interesting note by the NYT hat the folk revival pretty
much ended with the Beatles and subsequent "British invasion."

Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary Dies at 72
By WILLIAM GRIMES

Mary Travers, whose ringing, earnest vocals with the folk trio Peter, Paul and
Mary made songs like "Blowin' in the Wind," "If I Had a Hammer" and "Where Have
All the Flowers Gone?" enduring anthems of the 1960s protest movement, died on
Wednesday at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut. She was 72 and lived in Redding,
Conn.

The cause was complications from chemotherapy associated with a bone-marrow
transplant she had several years ago after developing leukemia, said Heather
Lylis, a spokeswoman.

Ms. Travers brought a powerful voice and an unfeigned urgency to music that
resonated with mainstream listeners. With her straight blond hair and willowy
figure and two bearded guitar players by her side, she looked exactly like what
she was, a Greenwich Villager directly from the clubs and the coffeehouses that
nourished the folk-music revival.

"She was obviously the sex appeal of that group, and that group was the sex
appeal of the movement," said Elijah Wald, a folk-blues musician and a historian
of popular music.

Ms. Travers's voice blended seamlessly with those of her colleagues, Peter
Yarrow and Paul Stookey, to create a rich three-part harmony that propelled the
group to the top of the pop charts. Their first album, "Peter, Paul and Mary,"
which featured the hit singles "Lemon Tree" and "If I Had a Hammer," reached No.
1 shortly after its release in March 1962 and stayed there for seven weeks,
eventually selling more than two million copies.

The group's interpretations of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't
Think Twice, It's All Right" translated his raw vocal style into a smooth, more
commercially acceptable sound. The singers also scored big hits with pleasing
songs like the whimsical "Puff the Magic Dragon" and John Denver's plaintive
"Leaving on a Jet Plane."

Their sound may have been commercial and safe, but early on their politics were
somewhat risky for a group courting a mass audience. Like Mr. Yarrow and Mr.
Stookey, Ms. Travers was outspoken in her support for the civil-rights and
antiwar movements, in sharp contrast to clean-cut folk groups like the Kingston
Trio, which avoided making political statements.

Peter, Paul and Mary went on to perform at the 1963 March on Washington and
joined the voting-rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., in 1965.

Over the years they performed frequently at political rallies and demonstrations
in the United States and abroad. After the group disbanded, in 1970, Ms. Travers
continued to perform at political events around the world as she pursued a solo
career.

"They made folk music not just palatable but accessible to a mass audience,"
David Hajdu, the author of "Positively Fourth Street," a book about Mr. Dylan,
Joan Baez and their circle, said in an interview. Ms. Travers, he added, was
crucial to the group's image, which had a lot to do with its appeal. "She had a
kind of sexual confidence combined with intelligence, edginess and social
consciousness — a potent combination," he said. "If you look at clips of their
performances, the camera fixates on her. The act was all about Mary."

Mr. Yarrow, in a statement on Wednesday, described Ms. Travers's singing style
as an expression of her character: "honest and completely authentic."

Mr. Stookey, in an accompanying statement, wrote that "her charisma was a barely
contained nervous energy — occasionally (and then only privately) revealed as
stage fright."

Mary Allin Travers was born on Nov. 9, 1936, in Louisville, Ky. When she was 2
her parents, both writers, moved to New York. Almost unique among the folk
musicians who emerged from the Greenwich Village scene in the early 1960s, Ms.
Travers actually came from the neighborhood. She attended progressive private
schools there, studied singing with the music teacher Charity Bailey while still
in kindergarten and became part of the folk-music revival as it took shape
around her.

"I was raised on Josh White, the Weavers and Pete Seeger," Ms. Travers told The
New York Times in 1994. "The music was everywhere. You'd go to a party at
somebody's apartment and there would be 50 people there, singing well into the
night."

While at Elisabeth Irwin High School, she joined the Song Swappers, which sang
backup for Mr. Seeger when the Folkways label reissued a collection of union
songs under the title "Talking Union" in 1955. The Song Swappers made three more
albums for Folkways that year, all featuring Mr. Seeger to some degree.

Ms. Travers had no plans to sing professionally. Folk singing, she later said,
had been a hobby. At New York clubs friends like Fred Hellerman of the Weavers
and Theodore Bikel would coax her onstage to sing, but her extreme shyness made
performing difficult. In 1958 she appeared in the chorus and sang one solo
number in Mort Sahl's short-lived Broadway show "The Next President," but as the
'60s dawned she found herself at loose ends.

By chance, Albert Grossman, who managed a struggling folk singer named Peter
Yarrow and would later take on Mr. Dylan as a client, was intent on creating an
updated version of the Weavers for the baby-boom generation. He envisioned two
men and a woman with the crossover appeal of the Kingston Trio. Mr. Yarrow,
talking to Grossman in the Folklore Center in Greenwich Village, noticed Ms.
Travers's photograph on the wall and asked who she was. "That's Mary Travers,"
Grossman said. "She'd be good if you could get her to work."

Mr. Yarrow went to Ms. Travers's apartment on Macdougal Street, across from the
Gaslight, one of the principal folk clubs. They harmonized on "Miner's
Lifeguard," a union song, and decided that their voices blended. To fill out the
trio, Ms. Travers suggested Noel Stookey, a friend doing folk music and stand-up
comedy at the Gaslight.

After rehearsing for seven months, with the producer and arranger Milt Okun
coaching them, Peter, Paul and Mary — Mr. Stookey adopted his middle name, Paul,
because it sounded better — began performing in 1961 at Folk City and the Bitter
End. The next year they released their first album.

Virtually overnight Peter, Paul and Mary became one of the most popular
folk-music groups in the world. The albums "Moving" and "In the Wind," both
released in 1963, rose to the top of the charts and stayed there for months. In
concert the group's direct, emotional style of performance lifted audiences to
their feet to deliver rapturous ovations.

Ms. Travers, onstage, drew all eyes as she shook her hair, bobbed her head in
time to the music and clenched a fist when the lyrics took a dramatic turn. On
instructions from Grossman, who wanted her to retain an air of mystery, she
never spoke. The live double album "In Concert" (1964) captures the fervor of
their performances.

On television the group's mildly bohemian look — Ms. Travers favored beatnik
clothing and Mr. Yarrow and Mr. Stookey had mustaches and goatees — gave
mainstream audiences their first glimpse of a subculture that had previously
been ridiculed on shows like "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."

"You cannot overemphasize those beards," Mr. Wald said. "They looked like
Greenwich Village to the rest of America. They were the first to go mainstream
with an artistic, intellectual, beat image."

Although the arrival of the Beatles and other British invasion bands spelled the
end of the folk revival, Peter, Paul and Mary remained popular throughout the
1960s. The albums "A Song Will Rise" (1965), "See What Tomorrow Brings" (1965)
and "Album 1700" (1967) sold well, as did the singles "For Lovin' Me" and "Early
Morning Rain," both by Gordon Lightfoot, and Mr. Dylan's "When the Ship Comes
In." The gently satirical single "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" (1967) reached the
Top 10, and "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (1969), their last hit, reached No. 1 on
the charts.

In 1970, after releasing the greatest-hits album "Ten Years Together," the group
disbanded. Ms. Travers embarked on a solo career, with limited success,
releasing five albums in the 1970s. The first, "Mary" (1971), was the most
successful, followed by "Morning Glory" (1972), "All My Choices" (1973),
"Circles" (1974) and "It's in Everyone of Us" (1978).

Ms. Travers's first three marriages ended in divorce. She is survived by her
fourth husband, Ethan Robbins; two daughters, Erika Marshall of Naples, Fla.,
and Alicia Travers of Greenwich, Conn.; a sister, Ann Gordon of Oakland, Calif.;
and two grandchildren.

Peter, Paul and Mary reunited to perform at a benefit to oppose nuclear power in
1978 and thereafter kept to a limited schedule of tours around the world. Many
of their concerts benefited political causes. "I was raised to believe that
everybody has a responsibility to their community and I use the word very
loosely," Ms. Travers told The Times in 1999. "It's a big community. If I get
recognized in the middle of the Sinai Desert I have a big community."

It was a faithful community. Musical fashions changed, but fans stayed loyal to
the music and the political ideals of the group. Ms. Travers once told the music
magazine Goldmine, "People say to us, `Oh, I grew up with your music,' and we
often say, sotto voce, `So did we.' "

Photographers from Kickapoo Rock Fest 1970

Karen — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 05:25:04 GMT

I am trying to hook up with the group of photographers and friends that I shot stills & film with at The Kickapoo Rockfest in 1970. I have great photos of you and would like to confidentially exchange these photos for the ones you have of me. I have just started "a tribe" to communicate back and forth through on this site. If you were from College of DuPage Photo department, I was with you at the festival. If you were in the band the One Eyed Jacks and early REO Speedwagon(1970), I lived in the same house as you. Please go to my tribe site below so we can exchange back and forth.
Thanks and blessing!

I'm Back....!!!! Scottylarue

scotty larue — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:31:01 GMT

well what a journey the last week. It started with me sleeping almost 24 hours then waking up with left side numb... Every time I tried to speak I kept on biting my tongue... Every thing had gone off the charts 240/190 bp, heart rate 110 bpm, blood sugar almost 500!!!! PVC's like crazy and of course Tri-gmts' and Bi-gmt's (messed up heart beats)...

Two days ago they decided to put a stint in my Carotid Artery on my right side... They do this without sedation, numbing only the groin.... I had to hold on to a couple of rubber balls that I had to squeeze as the Doctor was digging in the Artery... I had to move my neck and head as he asked to help him guide the tools through to my neck... I am allergic to the dye they use so I sent into shock, Anaphylactic shock, couldn't breath then I went blank... Suddenly I was awake again and I realized I had I had dropped the ball in my left had... I said out loud I dropped the ball and I heard from the Anesthetist "Yes you really did, Your heart stopped and before we could "Paddle you" it started back up again."

So now I am home, with almost complete recovery... Just a little numbness on the left side, and a very sore and swollen neck... Yes you do feel them going from the groin to the neck... Not for the squeamish....

I do still get very tired and then the symptoms come back a bit more.... So I am going to post this on a couple of my Tribes, later I will talk more if asked... I have been feeling very good for almost a year so maybe I will get a good turn out of this....

Sir Terry Pratchett Brings Discworld to Glendale AZ !!!!

Rowan — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:28:09 GMT

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Internationally bestselling, critically-acclaimed
British fantasy author Sir Terry Pratchett will discuss his upcoming

honor book for young adult literature, several honorary doctorates,
multiple Locus awards for science fiction and fantasy writing, the L.A.

Parking will be available in the downtown parking structure at 58th Dr.
and Palmaire Ave.

Pratchett’s appearance is made possible by the North American Discworld

How does it make you feel?

IntellectualBrat — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:17:02 GMT

Hi there is something I have wanted to ask and I thought this was the perfect place for it. What do you guys feel when you see actors and singers dying, the same people that were singing songs when you had your first puppy love, or when you spent the first summer away from home, or when you went on your first date? To me it's so sad, not only beacuse we lost a great star but also because I feel that they are taking a piece of my life with them...do you understand? It's weird..i dunno maybe im not explaining it the right way...but still it's just sad to me that those people that made me happy at one point in my life by listening to their songs are gone. It's like it's going down on generations...my mom was born in the 40's and almost all her idols are gone...now a few yrs back they started on my generation....damn it's getting awful close.......by the way I was born in 66,,,so yeah I enjoyed 70's and my favorite were the 80's!!!

I can remember sharing many a meal with like-minded friends in the late 60s. We didn't always have a lot, but what we did, we gave freely. I ate so much rice during that time, I would have made Uncle Ben proud. What did you survive on when money was tight and friends weren't around for the nightly potluck?

Smacking the hand aside of my head......

adamlink — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 02:58:16 GMT

I was thinking recently of the dumb stuff I did in the 60's. No, I don't mean the drugs. Little things....stuff I did that I shouldn't have, stuff I didn't do that I should have, being in the wrong place at the wrong time....regrets, I guess. Here are a few of the ones I wish I could change (anyone have a time machine they could lend me?)

I told my father I was going to go to Woodstock, and he put his foot down and said no. I was too afraid of my Marine Drill Sergeant father to disobey, and so I never got to Woodstock. :(

I was with my fiancee in the audience of HAIR (in a theater in Philly, live. Not the movie.) I turned my head for a second to say something to her....and that was the moment when the entire cast was naked on the stage! By the time I turned back, it was over. Arrgh!

There was this Procul Harum concert, and I had a chance to meet the band after, but didn't because I also had this girl with me and I wanted to get some real alone-time with her. This is a real smack on the head...I still love Procul Harum and can't even remember the girl's name.

Anyway.......what are your 'regrets'?

Pink Floyd's Rick Wright dies

wyrinth — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:21:11 GMT

Pink Floyd keyboard player and founder member Richard Wright has died aged 65.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7617363.stm

Wright appeared on the group's first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, in 1967 alongside lead guitarist Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Nick Mason. Dave Gilmour joined the band at the start of 1968 while Barrett left the group shortly afterwards. Gilmour said: "He was such a lovely, gentle, genuine man and will be missed terribly by so many who loved him." Writing on his website, he added: "And that's a lot of people. Did he not get the loudest, longest round of applause at the end of every show in 2006?"

Wright's spokesman said in a statement: "The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness that Richard died today after a short struggle with cancer. "The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time." He did not say what form of cancer the self-taught keyboard player and pianist had.

Wright, a founder member of The Pink Floyd Sound - and other previous incarnations including Sigma 6 - met Waters and Mason at architecture school. Wright rejoined Pink Floyd for the London Live 8 concert in 2005 . Pink Floyd achieved legendary status with albums including 1973's The Dark Side Of The Moon, which stayed in the US album chart for more than a decade. Wright, known as Rick earlier in his career, wrote The Great Gig In The Sky and Us And Them from the album. Waters left the band in 1981, performing his last concert at London's Earls Court.

Wright, together with Gilmour and Mason, continued to record and tour as Pink Floyd during the remainder of the 1980s and into the 1990s, releasing their last studio album - The Division Bell - in 1994. In 2005, the full band reunited - for the first time in 24 years - for the Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park. Wright also contributed vocals and keyboards to Gilmour's 2006 solo album On An Island, while performing with his touring band in shows in Europe and the US.

{my first floyd album was ummagumma, recorded in 1969. i was hooked immediately and went out and bought a second album , so when the first one got all scratched i'd have a spare. ...their concerts were a dream of their own. ah, i miss those days, when it was all so new. .. RIP, Rick}

Ok, a question has come up with David H on Tribe about the reference to "water brothers" in Stranger in a Strange Land and how it was also used in the lyrics of either a Jefferson Airplane song or a CSN&Y song. Can any one enlighten me as to waht the water brothers are and what song I am thinking of?

Music recommendation

Watchdog30306 — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:00:50 GMT

"If Only I Could Remember My Name" by David Crosby.

In a recent thread that I didn't want to railroad with this new topic, there was some discussion about music that had been done by Jefferson Airplane and Crosby, Stills and Nash. I was reminded of an album that came out in 1971 by David Crosby. It seemed to have flown under the radar even back then and I wondered how many had ever even heard of one of my very favorite albums. Until recently, it's been one of those albums that I missed hearing because the vinyl's all stored away. I found it on CD after looking off and on for a couple of years. It's so beautiful and it really stands the test of time. Collaborators on the album were Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, and Jerry Garcia.

No doubt that I'll finger-doodle my iPod today for that one while I'm in my studio.

Shifting Energy, Prophecy of Love Explained

rachel — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:06:34 GMT

It has come to my attention that viewers are having trouble opening a link I included in a previous post. This previous message was posted as a loving message to get word out about something that I stumbled upon and found to be a great source of hope. It hurts to imagine that such a movement of healing and love as this would be labeled as SPAM. Although I can understand the confusion, I am reposting with message included, no links, so I am sure that all those who want to receive the message can.
This information has been copied off of a website from Shalomar Productions. com;

Worldwide Prophecy of Love Day

And the Angel said:
"The day of the fulfillment of the prophecy given long ago draws nigh. We would ask you to be the messenger for this day which shall be called the Prophecy of Love day, in your time and calendar July 13th 2008.
We would ask that for 24 hours on this your day of July 13th, 2008, that people all over your planet would commune at all of the Sacred places upon beloved Gaia and allow the energies of unconditional love to flood every cell, every fiber, and every molecule of their Beings. We will be focusing our collective energies upon each of you as you do this. The frequency of Love that you will feel in your bodies will be more than you have ever felt before because of this collective focus. If you would do this you will literally become Lightning Rods of Love.
We ask you to hold this energy and not to project it outward. After 24 hours of receiving and Being unconditional love it will become apparent to you that, indeed without projecting, your outer world will have already changed.
If 1 million or more of you will answer this call then all of the other prophecies of destruction and doom will be shifted. For it is Love that will bring balance and harmony to your world.
Focus not upon what you think is wrong in your world rather focus on the Kingdom of Heaven manifested now within the hearts of all creatures and upon Terra and it will be so.”

The vision for this conference is this: There are so many prophecies out there of doomsday and cataclysms, with floods, earthquakes, plagues and war, that it makes one feel that everything is hopeless. That is certainly one time line for the future. But I have had dreams and visions of a different future, a future based upon love and brother- & sisterhood where this Earth becomes the beautiful garden and radiant star that it is destined to become.
Thus, I am now guided to co-create this conference to counterbalance all of the fear-based prophecies running amok throughout the unconsciousness of so many people, and anchor into the morphogenic field this new dream, this new vision based upon the prophecy of love.
Where will you be July 13th, 2008?
Will you be one of the millions who will help make a difference in the Destiny of Terra?

For more extensive information and to get info regarding a July 13 conference upon Mt Shasta, you can visit shalomarproductions.com. For all those who wish to participate privately in your own sacred palce and in hopes of bettering our world, thank you.

George Carlin farewell

Watchdog30306 — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:04:44 GMT

I just read a tribe member's blog post with news I was unaware of before:

George Carlin farewell Mon, June 23, 2008 - 1:04 PM

By Rich Connell and Jason Song

Los Angeles Times

9:34 AM CDT, June 23, 2008

LOS ANGELES
Click here to find out more!

George Carlin, the acerbic, Grammy-winning comedian whose career spanned more than 50 years, died of heart failure Sunday after being admitted to the hospital complaining of chest pains, a hospital spokesman said. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica shortly before 6 p.m., said his publicist Jeff Abraham.

The comedian, who toured college campuses for years and made a name for himself using dirty language and delivering biting social commentaries, had released 22 solo albums and three bestselling books.

He finished a show at The Orleans in Las Vegas last week and was planning to take the month off to relax and work on a new book of essays and musings, Abraham said.

Carlin normally took summers off and was scheduled to begin touring again beginning with a July 20 performance at Humphrey's Concerts By The Bay in San Diego. He had dates lined up through December, Abraham said.

"He was looking forward to it," Abraham said.

Carlin went to the hospital Sunday afternoon because "his heart just didn't feel right," the publicist said.

Carlin starred in a variety of TV and movie roles and gained fame for a routine about the seven dirty words that could not be uttered on television.

"There are three ingredients in my comedy," he said in a 1991 interview with the Los Angeles Times. "Those three things which wax and wane in importance are English language and wordplay; secondly, mundane, everyday observational comedy -- dogs, cats and all that stuff; and thirdly, sociopolitical attitude comedy."

He earned several gold comedy albums and five Emmy nominations.

Carlin was arrested in 1972 in Milwaukee for using indecent language. In a separate case in 1973, a radio listener complained after a station played part of his album. That case went the Supreme Court, which in 1978 ruled in favor of the Federal Communications Commission, saying the radio station could not broadcast those words at times when children could be listening.

Last year, he said a highlight of his career was a 1992 HBO special titled "Jamming in New York."

"That was the point where I probably became more of a writer who performed his own material.

"The material became more like essays, they became more socially conscious, and it was just a major jump from being what I think of as only an entertainer to being an artist-entertainer," he said in a 2007 Times interview.

Last year, Carlin released "George Carlin: All My Stuff," a 14-DVD collection of his HBO specials from 1977 to 2005. He had shown no signs of slowing down.

Just last week, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced Carlin would be awarded the 11th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

The center is scheduled to honor Carlin at a tribute performance by former colleagues on Nov. 10, which will be broadcast later on PBS. Actor and comedian Billy Crystal won last year's Mark Twain prize.

Carlin was born May 12, 1937, in the Bronx and grew up in New York.

He is survived by wife Sally Wade; daughter Kelly Carlin McCall; son-in-law Bob McCall; older brother Patrick Carlin; sister-in-law Marlene Carlin and longtime manager, business partner and best friend Jerold Hamza. Carlin's first wife, Brenda, died in 1997.

Need surfer inspiration...

Hi Everybody,

I am looking for some 60's "Surfer" films to rent. You know.... the ones with lots of scenes on beaches with a lot of surfer music playing and folks dancing. I'm especially interested in the music and dance scenes, not necessarily on Oscar-worthy performances. :o) Would anyone here remember any of their faves? Titles and if you can recall who is in it (so that I can find the film) would be most helpful.

Any suggestions you all can give me will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

happy birthday allen ginsberg

azee — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:36:59 GMT

It's the birthday of Allen Ginsberg, born in Newark, New Jersey (1926). His father was a schoolteacher and occasional poet. His mother was a Russian immigrant and devoted Marxist. She was in and out of psychiatric institutions all through out his childhood and had to undergo electric shock treatments and a lobotomy. Ginsberg went to Columbia University on a small scholarship and there he began consorting with Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, William Burroughs. After college, he got a job in marketing research, wore a business suit everyday, and had on office on the 52nd floor of the Empire State Building. He says he started writing there, and that there he learned about careful manipulation of words.

He moved to San Francisco and became friends with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who published Ginsburg's first major work, Howl.

By his 30s, he was prematurely bald with a ring of hair on the fringe of his head and thick long black beard streaked with gray. He wore black rimmed classes and his Buddha belly was one of his most distinguishing features.

Ginsburg's reading of Howl was reputed to have "turned the 1950s into the 1960s overnight." It began:

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of the night.

The death of his mother affected Ginsburg deeply and for a long time. He wrote his poem "Kaddish" for her, which began:

Strange now to think of you, gone without corsets & eyes, while I walk
on the sunny pavement of Greenwich Village.
downtown Manhattan, clear winter noon, and I've been up all night,
talking, talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles
blues shout blind on the phonograph
the rhythm the rhythm — and your memory in my head three years after —

He once said, "There's no bar to us proclaiming our delight and that's the strength of poetry."

Plaid Polyester and Blue Man Group

Watchdog30306 — Fri, 30 May 2008 03:14:18 GMT

I knew that subject would be weird enough to get some attention, but then it's relevant to the post.

This is about those of us that are IN our 50s and 60s, and were children of the 60s. Coincidental math.

After getting my AARP card, rather than run out and purchase my old fart mis-matched plaid polyester shorts outfits with black socks and my belt pulled up to just under my nipples, I've chosen to stay awake and try to be awed by new things. There were so many radically new things back in the 60s. Things that were unlike anyone had seen or heard before. That's why we loved that time so much. I still look for new things, picking and choosing what I like. Rap/HipHop Music? Wearing my ball cap backwards? I'll pass. I think those were the first signs that I was ready to move out of the youth culture. Not interested in those at all. And considering how much incredible music I've owned by black musicians and singers, it's not racial I don't think.) Same thing with grunge rock. That sounded like white-kid garage band music to me. (And considering how much incredible music I've owned by WHITE musicians and singers......) Equal opportunity snubber.

Tonight, for the first time, I Googled for some vids of the Blue Man Group. I had a design assignment this week for a Las Vegas promo piece and ran across an ad for them and their Vegas show. I've heard of them for years, but tonight I Googled. I'm awed again. (May I always be AWED by things.) They're incredible. Like Laurie Anderson was incredible when I saw her in the 80s. Tonight, I wondered how many other 50- or 60-something-year-olds still feel this way. Still maintain a childlike curiosity about things.

I won't be leaving this planet until I simply can't be awed any more. Or until I have an overwhelming urge to go out and buy that grotesque plaid fashion statement. And if you ever see me with a backwards ballcap other than when roller-painting the ceiling, you have my permission to take me out.

Sidenote: Some fashion Nazi once said that if your over 20-something, you shouldn't wear shorts at all. To him I say, "Well this is the South, dahlin' and it's hotter than hell in the summer. I'm cooling my veiny legs whether it pleaseth you or not." (But absolutely WITHOUT black socks)

Not all fun and games

*~Ushas~* — Wed, 28 May 2008 16:48:29 GMT

When you mention that you were part of the psychedelic 60s, most intial reactions are that of , "Hey! All that free love," or "How f**ked up did you used to get?" Having been there, we all know that it wasn't all fun and games in the 60s. There was some very heavy s**t going on...s**t that a lot of us would like to forget...but never will.

So my friends, aside from Vietnam and Charlie Manson, what event(s) made you think that the party just might be over....

For me, it was Kent State. I don't know if any of you have heard, but thanks to the hard work of Alan Canfora (one of the survivors of that tragic day) a new tape recording has been discovered in which you can clearly hear the order to shoot the demonstrators. It is CHILLING to hear. Go to www.alancanfora.com and listen to one of our nation's "dirty little secrets."

happy birthday smokey + a request to you

azee — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:03:03 GMT

[see my request at end]

It's the birthday of songwriter Smokey Robinson, born William Robinson in Detroit, Michigan, 1940. His mother died when he was 10, around the same time he got his nickname, Smokey. His uncle took him to a cowboy matinee and gave William a cowboy name as a joke, "Smokey Joe."

Growing up in Detroit, Smokey was friends with Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross. While he was still in high school, he formed the singing group "The Miracles." Smokey wrote about love in Motown, hits like "My Girl," "The Way You Do the Things You Do," and "You've Really Got a Hold on Me." Fellow musician Bob Dylan called Smokey "America's greatest living poet."

... if anyone knows where i can go on the internet to hear MORE LOVE by smokey, please let me know. i have searched you tube, to no avail. not only is it my number one favorite by my home boy, it's probably in my top 5 motown hits of all time... thank you, aurelia.

The Taylor Family

Druben — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:17:45 GMT

I'm reading this book on McLean's Psychiatric Hospital outside Boston entitled "Gracefully Insane" becuase the place was really a excusive sanitarium for the rich and famous (i.e. Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, Ray Charles and the three of the Taylor kids). There is a chapter on James and his sibs being there called "Hippie or Hippiphrenia" about life in the 60's when the music therapist put together rock bands that even cut records. So James was there for depression (not for his heroin addiction which came later and he went to Austin Riggs for that in Stockbridge Mass, and must have liked the area because that is where he lives now. What I found fascinating was that the Taylor family (dad was dean of the Medical School of North Carolina in Chapel hill) sent three of their five children to the same loonie bin: Kate (of Sister Kate fame) and Livingston. Both became fames musicians in their own right. Must have been fun times at Mclean in those days.

It's the birthday of author and philosopher Alan Watts, born in Chislehurst, England (1915), who interpreted Eastern philosophy for the Western world. His most well-known books include The Meaning of Happiness (1940), The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for the Age of Anxiety (1950), and The Way of Zen (1957). He once said, "To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float."

His big break came in 1955, when he recorded "Uncle John" and "Who Do You Love?" for Chess Records in Chicago, and these two songs became the foundation for early rock 'n' roll. He once said, "I opened the door for a lot of people, and they just ran through and left me holding the knob."

My husband is a big Mustang fan-had one in his youth and still looks at magazines devoted to them. I kinda like Thunderbirds myself.

Some Jerky Boy on dark poetry tribe thinks he's being funny. I know I'm stirring things up, and I'm really not for stirring things up, but these young people today need some schooling on what it is to be a hippie. or child of th e60's . It was about the peace and love, not the sex and drugs. The link below goes to some darko self absorbed provocateur type's posting, so I'd avoid taking his bait and getting angry, he seems to thrive on it. Don't go there if you don't want to be upset.

The Good Old Days?

ZyAnn — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:12:25 GMT

It seems sometimes we are inclined to romanticize the Good old Days. Then again there are certain aspects of yesterday, when the past was better. As with everything there's good and bad in the mix. So tell me what do you think was better about the 60's in comparison to now?

happy birthday john lennon

azee — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 15:09:10 GMT

It's the birthday of John Lennon, born in Liverpool, England (1940), who formed his first rock band in high school, called the Quarrymen. He was performing at a church social in the summer of 1957 when a boy in the audience named Paul McCartney saw him for the first time. McCartney later said he was impressed by how tough Lennon looked on stage, like he was challenging the audience to a fight. In fact, Lennon had gotten into a fight with his aunt earlier in the evening, and he was just glaring at her while he sang. Lennon and McCartney became friends later that night, and they formed the band that became The Beatles.

azee — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 12:49:53 GMT

It's the birthday of fashion designer (Gabrielle) Coco Chanel, born in Saumur, France (1883). Along with the perfume Chanel No. 5, which came out in 1922, she introduced turtleneck sweaters, trench coats, costume jewelry, bell-bottom trousers, bobbed hair, and the "little black dress."

Chanel said, "I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like."

"Astarte"- the Ballet

gratephil — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 04:07:16 GMT

.....was the brainchild of Robert Joffery-and featured the Seattle house band at the Eagles Auditorium: Chrome Syrcus. Joffery caused an uproar all over the country with this pioneer progressive rock work.
As a member of the Seattle Boys Choir, I was fortunate to have sang in front of the band (which featured Dick Powell on guitar and Rod Pilloud on drums) for a memorable April '69 afternoon of rehersals for the production at the Seattle Opera House . They cut our section of the score, but the memory of that day has stuck with me....since I was 10 years old.....

happy anniversary john & paul

azee — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 17:12:34 GMT

It was on this day in 1957 that two teenagers named John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met at a church dance in Liverpool, England. Lennon was performing at the dance with his band and McCartney was in the audience. McCartney was impressed by John's singing, so he introduced himself after the performance. They didn't hit it off until Paul mentioned that he played guitar, and he knew how to tune one. John was even more impressed that Paul knew the lyrics of recent rock and roll songs. John could never remember lyrics, which was why he often made up new ones while he was singing. Paul volunteered to write out the lyrics for the song "Be Bop a Lula" for John, and the two became fast friends. By 1959, they were calling themselves The Beatles.

Season of the Witch

adamlink — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 02:48:05 GMT

One of my favorite songs from the 60's was Donovan's "Season Of The Witch".
It's such a great song, that a long list of covers have been done (most of which are also great)....so far, I know of covers by

Al Kooper & Stephen Stills
Blues Brothers
Donovan
Hole
Julie Driscol, Brian Auger & the Trinity
Lou Rawls
Luna
Robert Plant
Vanilla Fudge

What I want to know is...does anyone know the REAL story behind the song? Did Donovan ever say why he wrote it?

I read one story that may just be pure guesswork.............
The song takes its title from the Sea Witch nightclub on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. It was a small club where Donovan used to play.
Another place, I read........
This was inspired by a 1965 British horror movie called The Night Of The Eagle

Does anyone know the truth? I even heard he was writing about a past love!

"Summer of Love" Our Nagasaki and Heroshima? No, it was far worse.

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:46:08 GMT

Social Narcissism: A primordial need to create a virtual equivalence of society to defend and protect a sustained delusion supporting psychopathic distortion.

Child abuse, child neglect, children orphaned by AIDS, teenage pregnancy, death and disease related to drug use, family break-up, psychiatric care, and medical care related to drug use have exponentially increased since the Summer of Love "explored and re-invented minds".

Is it a "legacy" deserving respect? There will not be specific and concrete answers why the legacy should be respected from the narcisists who created the delusion. They will not and cannot relate to being held responsible for the consequences of their behavior. The consequences sited (i.e. child abuse) will always be attributed to something other than individual responsibility.

The atomic bombs at Nagasaki and Heroshima killed 200,000 plus men,women and children. However, the psycho-social bombs dropped on us by the delusional thinking serving as foundation for the Summer of Love, has massacred millions.

Ultimately, were campus politics naive?

Druben — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 17:57:45 GMT

I have been seeing some films from the 60's or about them: "Berkeley in the 60's and "Love and Anger" made in 1969 with Bertolucci, Pasolini, Goddard and and I was struck by how naive and simplistic the politics were. The appeals to oppressive Marxist regimes as the salvation of the people and the encouragement to turn away from democratic processes because it takes too long and ends up with bourgeous values seems dangerous now and not at all what I think most liberals would endorse. The critique of Marxism being the protector of creativity and freedom just has not panned out and I think there was ample evidence of this in the 60's. So why did radicals deliberately ignore what was really happening in China, Cuba and the Societ Union in order to hold up these as models of the revolutionary spirit?

Patty Hearst - was she really brainwashed?

Druben — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 02:03:13 GMT

I just watched the documentary on Patty Hearst called "Guerrilla: the taking of Patty Hearst" and it left a lot of unanswered questions. Was she truly brainwashed? Or could she have been in collaboration with her abductors from the start? They, after all, were hip cool people that weren't all that different from Patty herself? What do people think of the outcome of it all? How her sentence was commuted and she went on to become an actress. Was she a terrorist or a victim of terror?
