Oh, wait. I've been doing that since 1989, huh? OK, I'm going to lay some more on you then. Tuesday. July 3. Summerfest, Milwaukee. You already know I missed gordon and his fellow Femmes. (I'm listening to "Violent Femmes" on Slash records as we speak =) ) Last night was WILCO, Dammit. That's OK, I guess. I'll miss Jackson Browne 2morrow night too. But tonite was Lucky Boys Confusion, the Benjamins, Reel Big Fish, Neil Diamond, Bette Midler, Garth Brooks, Aretha Franklin and who knows to remember who else??? You know the deal. About 10 medium sized stages each too close to the other with about as much Koss headphones and Crafstman tools soundblock as they could design into the acoustics so as you walk just a little bit away from "Here come the Boss Man callin' callin," you pass the 12 blue and white toilets and Channel 65 and suddenly you hear part of "Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer." So it's more like "here come the bossman, now I'm a believer." or "I thought love was only true tell me it's alright." The problem is if you walk too far too fast you're likely to hear, "Love was out to get me, I said get off my friggin foot, she should get clothes on or something, only in america, which way are the bathrooms, R E S P E C T, I said you're stepping on my frigging foot... the... dance.. aw man, don't pour that there, people have to walk, never got to be your fred astaire." There's not a trace of doubt in my mind. How about yours? I'm surprised anyone has a nice time at concerts like these, but I guess you take what you can get, right? And as they say in show biz, b-b-baby you just ain't seen n-n-nuthin Joan Jett. Good. So Neil Diamond impressed the hell outa me. Despite all his "let's hear it for the vets," bull shit. No I mean it I'm a vet and that stuff offends me. He's just kissing up so his phone will get tapped a little less often and his address book doesn't get ripped off constantly, and so he doesn't see some of his mail turn up missing, or his kids or anything. No he can't mean that stuff, I'm serious. Support the troops? Die, sucker. What troops are YOU supporting? Did you ever pick up the cuts in Champus or GI Bill for some family out there? Last man or woman in uniform you saw paying for food with stamps, did you pay his or her grocery bill? Support the troops, gimme a break. Men in uniform? Only men in uniform you're honoring are ones personally trained in forgery, disguise and evidence planting by old Edgar Hoover himself. Those are the men in uniform you're helping out, whether you like it or not, Mr. Neo Praetorian Guard. OK, that said, Neil Diamond, wow. That man can sing and he sure could write a song, huh? I'm glad I saw him. Took him for granted all these years. I'm impressed! It WAS hard to get past the red and black polyester clothing with sparkly shinies, oh and that flat silver useless scarf thing around his neck. And the brand new Gibson acoustic guitar he doesn't seem to have any feelings for or connections to. (yeah, just toss it across the stage to a techie for tuning now and then...) But just think, he's not Garth Brooks, right? Anyways it was nice hearing him after pissing and right before returning to Reel Big Fish. WAIT, THERE'S MORE. BUT FIRST THIS! Neil Diamond was played by a member of a theatre troupe devoted entirely to impersonators of stars. I'm not making any of this up! There's Neil Diamond impersonators all over the place apparently: This is from Summerfest 95: Now, the next bit was kind of wack, took us a few seconds to figure out what the fuck was going on, a little dubious that they would leave us without "Porch" or something. Eddie brings out this Neil Diamond impersonator (it WASN'T Neil Diamond, I'm sorry), and they go into "Forever In Blue Jeans". Eddie's over on the side of the stage in his Cramps t-shirt, clearly highly amused by the proceedings, and then makes things even more ridiculous by taking a few verses himself! [ref]=[http://www.drizzle.com/~clr/summer.txt] So there you have it. This guy was a seance bringing a living star back to life. At least I think Screech's dad, Neil is still alive. He is, isn't he? Who's he write for now, that the Monkees are gone. N Stink? Backwash boyz? OK I'll end with something more real, so you don't have to feel like you're trying to land from this wack music column ok? I'm busking for tips on a friday or saturday afternoon, and some stoner looking guy comes up to me and asks if I'll let him, "can I play a key on your epiphone?" "Excuse me?" He repeats it exactly like that. Not knowing what the heck he means I say sure, you can play a little. Then he lowers each string trying to tune it back up, way off. I'm just a little mad because three songs prior I had tuned it to a Sabine tuner and then fine tuned it even closer with my ear. Now I'm going to have to spend the next three songs making adjustments. Then, (I'm NOT making this up!) he plays "Mr Bojangles." Then he wants to play the chords to "Leaving On A Jet Plane" but he asks me to sing it. OK, whatever. I was as patient as I could be. He eventually gave me back my guitar shortly after I began trying to decide exactly what words I would use to carefully extract my guitar out of the hands of just one more person who thinks every where I go is open mic. I guess that's the price I pay for a lifetime of pains- takingly making sure my music is accessible, easy to play along to and completely devoid of stand-offishness, eh? ~23~ (I was prime anarchist, and I said that.) ~=~=~=~ RELEASE OF KOHL RECORDINGS BLOCKED by STEPHANI GRISHOM Disassociated Press Writer Special to Prime Anarchist World News. (PAWN) NEW BERLIN, WI -- Democrat Senator Herb Kohl won a court ruling Wednesday blocking the release of his conversations that were secretly recorded by Monica Lewdsky at the Senate Gym and Health Spa, a victory in the senator's attempts to defend his legacy as the leader who reunited DNC and DLC. After a one-day hearing, the New Berlin administrative court agreed with Kohl's lawyers, who argued he could claim protection under provisions shielding the victims of surveillance by Washington's pervasive communist-haters club, the FBLCIO. ~=~=~=~ 89% of ATI's readers experienced incredible happiness; as opposed to 51% with sugar pills.

And some of them are girls." matthew b. patterson http://www.ooze.com ------------------------------------------------------- "Webzine is not only inspirational and exciting--it is IMPERATIVE. I walked into Webzine 2000 with no expectations, and I was completely blown away. The only disappointment was that there wasn't enough time to meet all of the innovators and just plain freaks that I've heard about or been admiring for so long. It's an amazing opportunity to network and to exchange ideas for the enhancement of our endeavors. This event IS where it is at." amy young http://www.screechmagazine.com ------------------------------------------------------- "Webzine reaffirmed my faith in the importance of the Web. It was a creative, passionate and cool gathering of people whose personal investment in the Web is best gauged by blood- sweat-and-tears vs. venture capital." "Part installation, party party, and all creativity, Webzine SF was by far the most inspiring Web-related event I've been to. And certainly worthy of my annual pilgrimage from the City of Angels." josh fouts http://www.ojr.org ------------------------------------------------------ "The Webzine series of conferences consistently brings together many of the most hard-working people in web publishing today.

Robert McNamara, the World Bank president who was chairman of Ford and then secretary of defense, has called the population explosion the greatest obstacle to progress in Latin America; the World Bank, he says, will give priority in its loans to countries that implement birth control plans. McNamara notes with regret that the brains of the poor do 25 percent less thinking, and the World Bank technocrats (who have already been born) set computers humming to produce labyrinthine abracadabras on the advantages of not being born...

Some Things You Can Know About Bolivia 1545 - 1558 Potosi mine in Bolivia provided huge amounts of silver and the mercury amalgam process was invented there years later by US interests. Other countries secretly taking silver out of Bolivia at an alarming rate besides the US? Phillipines, China and Spain. The Inca empire included Bolivia in its territories. In 1902 the Bolivian government was given 2 Million Lira indemnity and a brand new railway built to give it access to the Madeira and Amazon rivers after Brasil lopped off 75,000 square miles of its size in war. Christmas Eve 1977 General Hugo Banzer said no to amnesty for prisoners, exiled and fired workers in tin and silver mines. From 1952 til 1969 agrarian reforms throughout latin america helped Bolivia greatly but Bolivians still reported they were only getting 60 percent of the protein and 20 percent of the calcium necessary for a minimal diet. [These are averages and the book I got this from points out that rural consumption is even more deficient than these figures reveal] Citibank corporation factors in almost everywhere you read about Bolivia's problems. I'm not even going to begin writing beyond a simple mention of them. I'll start ranting and frothing at the mouth and be unable to stop. Matilde mine in Bolivia contains lead, silver and zinc twelve times more pure than any mine in the US can claim. Bat shit and salt peter are some of the other notable exports from Bolivia. The Mellons and Rockefellers were all over Bolivia during the Monopoly days. Other places besides Laos and Cambodia napalm was used on civilians? Peru and Bolivia. Some analysis: When ever the US economy takes a down turn silver will become more important than gold. It's half as shiny and half as sought after, but fluctuates between 1/10th and 1/100th as expensive. Expect sulfide mines all over Bolivia and be ready to see rocks that were once seen as too expensive to extract get popular again around the minefields.

A Poem from Bhopal, India Yes, I am a rabid optimist For me Every tree that continues to stand Every stream that continues to flow Every child that runs away from home is an indication that the battle is not only on It is being won. You may tell me about the nuclear arms race And all I can tell you is that an unknown child held my hand with love. You will try to draw me into the plateau of practical life Tell me that not only god but all the religious and irreligious leaders are dead And all I can tell you is that across the forest Lives a young man who calls the earth his mother. You will give me the boring details of the rise of state power after every revolution And all I can tell you is that in our tribe we still share our bread You will reason with me And I will talk nonsense like this And because the difference between breathing and living life is the difference between reason and poetry I will read poems to you Poems full of optimism Poems full of dreams And maybe a poem better than this. by sathyu _____ (_ _)_ | | (_) ___ ___ __ ___ | | | |/' _ ` _ `\ /'__`\/',__) | | | || ( ) ( ) |( ___/\__, \ (_) (_)(_) (_) (_)`\____)(____/
