“The true propaganda is the United States Gov’t saying they care about Freedom, Democracy, Autonomy or Human rights. America loved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so much that the FBI tapped his phone, spied on him and the US Gov’t was found in a civil trial to have been involved in the conspiracy to murder him. No better spokesperson for Martin Luther King Day than Pres. Joe Biden, the man most responsible for the mass incarceration of Black people that got caught in a Black Church in South Carolina telling the same old lie about being part of the Civil Rights movement while campaigning.” (-Black In The Empire)

“The evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together. And you can’t get rid of one without getting rid of the other.” (- Martin Luther King)

“It’s easy enough to shout slogans, to sign manifestos, but it is quite a different matter to build, manage, command, spend days and nights seeking the solution of problems.” (-Patrice Lumumba)

DANZIG SINGS ELVIS

He put out his Elvis tribute LP quite awhile back and it sounded just like you imagine. Now he’s doing some shows but sez he’s 67 and done touring so this might be your last chance to see Danzig… cover Elvis. I personally happen to enjoy some Danzig, if only the boppier, campier, fun filled horror biz singalong catchy Misfits punk and that first awesome, raunchy, Doorsy, Cult like DANZIG record. Danzig and Misfits and Samhain all still do a brisk business at the record store in the town I got kicked outta three high schools in. I’m not sayin’ it’s all cause I got that shopkeep and so many of the local kids in the thrash bands and punk types into the Misfits back when we were record store co workers, or when the still popular local band celebs came to see our eighties teenager from Mars Cramps and Deadboys tribute band, because most all the yeehaw hicks first got into ’em via Metallica, right? But I gotta admit I sincerely still enjoy a lotta his work, even if we have very different poltical point of views, that has never been a requirement of mine to appreciating somebody’s music. I mean aside from Bono. Fuck that guy. Waxl was a big disappointment too, but he came out just today to say he knew Lisa Marie Presely and considered her a friend and had a lotta love for her, that kinda softened me a bit towards Waxl. When my grandfather died, as she was falling asleep at night and missing him, my grandmother used to love that Orbison and friends VHS concert and Orbison and Elvis were deep parts of my childhood. That song Danzig wrote for Orbison on that “Less Than Zero” soundtrack gets regular rotation over in my glam cave.

CRAZY DAYS

Yo, it’s gotten fucking beyond weird, hasn’t it? TEN DOLLARS for eggs. The carbonated water I started drining about five or six years ago instead of beer is like six bucks a twelve pack now-it used to be less than three. The apartment we lived in for about seven years in the last town has gone from $600 a month which we struggled to pay as low wage earnrs back then, to $1200 a month, like what the fucking motherfucker fuck? Am I the only one sick of reading what Elon Musk who inherited his money from his diamond mining parents in apartheid era South Africa has to say about housing bubbles, or any of his daily headline bullshit fake savior culture war distractions? I fuckin’ miss the Clash so much. I don’t wanna know what the rich are saying, I don’t wanna go where the rich are going, etc., etc. man am I ever sick of all this fawning love for paidoff politicians and evil rich people. So today my kid has school at an alternative learning spot but it’s with a lotta troubled teens and court mandated older kids so his mom goes with him. We used to have a routine where we would shop all these little mom n pop junk stores for my wife’s online reselling opeartion, but I’ll tell you what happened with that. Covid closures killed all those stores. We used to run a thrift store and art gallery in my hometown but Mitch McConell and the gay mayor pushed us out and also the Mission that served as a soup kitchen to the poor. They just did not want any poor people living in their touristy downtown. They’d rather three fourths of those buildings sit empty than house any poor people and they said the soup kitchen was “attracting the homeless”. So that’s happening here, too but it was the clampdowns that killed almost all the local indies for good here. So when shit opened back up, some rich retirees started filling ten carts a day at the Goodwill for their highprice gouger boutiques, until the manager put a  three cart limit on it, and those old bats sell the free donations shit for like hipster boutique top Etsy dollar prices on the main drag where they own property near the tourist trap. The one little store in town I totally loved when bankrupt and the lady closed the doors and I never saw her again. I think she left town. We used to buy records and action figures from her and she wan’t trying to rob us. There is a junk store on the edge of town that’s some ancient oldman’s household and garage old shit and some ridiculously marked up comic books he wants hundreds for, even though they’re all in shit condition, he thinks it’s Comic-Con, and I don’t think he’s acquired anything new for his shop in the past five years but probably not for way longer. So even the last remaining cheapass second hand store is also ballsout gouging now, just can’t help themsleves, like, everybody’s gouging, everybody’s doing it, it’s infected every middleclass motherfucker who’s still running shit-evn so called non profits, so even these people who don’t have to gouge just gouge their ass off now. That was the only place I ever went besides super inflated, took us all hostage, Wal fuckin Mart. There used to be a nice, affordable thrift store at the senior center. It closed cause Covid, stayed closed. My old lady’s got me rationing my coffee and carbonated water intake, I quit smoking like two years ago, but still crave ’em like crazy. What are they? $15 a pack now? I really mostly jones for ’em when I’m under stress, which is like all the time. I’m a caregiver to a family member with a disability which is why I can relate so first hand personally to Johnny Rotten, who is taking care of his longtime love, Nora who is becoming more impaired. I know what it’s like, having family members freaking out and like, yelling crazy shit in public. I’m sick to death of this computer, same old hypno-shit lies, day in and day out, but I got nowhere to go. Sometimes, I’ll blast an old Adam & The Ants tape in the garage, walk in circles around the yard, fret about my adult kid’s welfare and well being, flick through all that horror movie bullshit on Netflix, write two lines down in a notebook about how I miss the old world and the old new wave, and end up right back here in front of the fucking computer again. I dunno who is crazier-me who knows I’m crazy, I’ve always been crazy, or all the fucking deluded bliss bubble ego trip ninnies who still watch MSNBC and own shit and have fine arts degrees from the posh university and wanna behavior modify me into fauxwoke Blue Maga compliance.

DREAMING WALLS INSIDE THE CHELSEA HOTEL

“This hotel does not belong to America… There are no vacuum cleaners, no rules, and shame.” (-Arhur Miller)

The secret societies and billionaire one world government plotters have been waging open class war on us serfs and dishwashers since at least the nineties. I got to run around and play all day and night in NYC in the eighties and I will always be grateful to the cool older people who took me to museums and nightclubs and after hours parties and gave me the keys to their apartments or paid for me  to stay in shabby hotel rooms so when it got too cold or I needed a bath, I had a place to nap and eat some Ramen or peanut butter, and I remember it was around the time of Giluliani, that’s when I started seeing the big change for the worse was a coming, when he shut down all the lively after hours joints we loved, and closed down the big nightclubs with some archaic no dancing blue laws or some shit, then he sent all his gestapo cops down to Tompkins Square Park with night sticks to beat up all the immigrants, runaways, junkies, and homeless people. Whoo-wee, that was all some fucked up shit and even Joe Strummer was sayin’ somebody oughta run for mayor against him with the platform of putting the soul back into the melting pot. Man, I remember back then, when Joey Ramone and Little Steven were talking about the importance of the airwaves, of having a platform, a place where different ideas could be heard besides the ever merging, capitalist billionaire, monopoly agendas. They were right about all that, but back then, there were still anti war songs on MTV, there was still a “Village Voice” and a CBGB’s and a Chelsea Hotel for libertines, beat travelers, aging essayists, and fanzine writers to retreat to. It was not that long really after Warhol died, that I started really noticing the Lower East Side changing, they were wiping off all the graffiti and putting kkkops on every corner, raising rents, Disneyfying Times Square, NYU was buying up all the apartment buildings, and even record stores and boutiques and institutions we thought were immortal got shut down by the fuzz without much fuss. ENZS moved offa Saint Mark’s Place. That’s where I used to buy my silver goth jewelry, skull bandannas, velvet hats and punk rock belts.That was also when I started noticing summa my friends with like, the high paying computer jobs, were becoming conspicuously more selfish and less humane, bitching TO ME about poor people, I was like, “are you kidding me, man”? What do you MEAN “they” are “like pigeons”? You talkin’ to me?? Imagine if you were black, and some mf was bitching about “the blacks”, or if you are Jewish and they were complaining not about the Israeli government but about, “the Jews”, you’d take that kinda personal, wouldn’t you? That’s exactly how I felt, observing all my former friends and girlfriends co signing the class patrols coming into our old melting pot neighborhoods and physically using the kkkops to push all the poor people out, permanently. We’d all see kkkops beating people up for like petty nothing, bullshit non crimes, and the gotmines were all shrugging like they “shoulda had” a trust fund or high paying computer job, if they didn’t wanna get beaten by the gestapo. Pig-media started promoting shit like Tom Cruise yelling, “Show me the money” and Michael Douglas insisting that “Greed Is Good”. I worked for some gay yuppies and they’d echo that kindof bullshit programming all day long with big smirks, even floating the idea of putting, “There Is Nothing Wrong With Wanting More” into their company Christmas card. Some girls I know couldn’t come straight out exactly and admit upfront they were just gonna ditch my slinky vagabond self in the hopes of wrangling a richkid whose mom had a big mansion they’d set their sights on, but that became the common trend. Dudes I’d known since we were young kid together, once they made their leap into the got mine money world, we never saw or heard from them again. I did my part and tried to keep in touch with all the people I felt a common bond with but most all of ’em got initiated into that greed is good culture, they did not even like the idea of me ever visiting them because they were afraid I’d embarrass them somehow in front of their posh bandmates or fancy wives, or they were worried I was gonna bum too many cigarettes, or run up their phonebill like I might have done in 1983. I started to see that many of these middle class people who’d inherited property or married into wealth did not really identify as poor or working class, they were all looking up, and only wanting to even socialize with people they could use for like job connections, or media access, or nightclub owners who could book their band, or hire them on to do some easy job. I was not trying to change to become more like the backstab culture people on the hill, ya know nobody remembers that old John Lennon song, “Working Class Hero”, or any old John Lennon songs really anymore, but I do. I did not change my values or identity to be more like the characters on “Friends” or “90210′ or after 9/11 or to make my co workers feel good while they bragged about how smart they were for trusting the big pharma sponsored war machine “news” rather than, you know, FOX or whatever their shitlib higher ups had decided to brand as “fake news”, which ended up even including people like Maragret Kimberly and Abby Martin and Glenn Greenwald. I never climbed aboard the pro war choo choo train, not even when Duran Duran or Chrissie Hynde were performing Concerts For Ukraine. I’m always gonna be against the imperialist oil plundering oligarchy. Never gonna entirely trust the corporate media. Shitlibs still think the Big 5 corporate media with all the spies and generals and millionaires and virus patent owners and private prison shareholders and weapon makers is a FREE PRESS. Main difference between me and most of my dayjob having middle class friends is I know the kkkops work for the property owning rich people, and are there to fuck up the poor, whereas my middle class friends still like all those hokey, honky feelgood fifties Norman Rockwell/Happy Days fantasies about how the SquadTM are much different from Trump even though they keep voting for the same bullshit wars and more kkkops and no child income credit, and a few comfy wishful thinkers still believe that NPR aint funded by Rockefellers, or that Bernie Sanders cares about poor people, or Gropey Joe Biden and mass incarcerating Kamala Harris, care at all about human rights, and I just don’t believe any of that bullshit, anymore. 

   There are still those of us who cling to the old ways and the old days and cherish places like the 400 rooms of the mythical, mystical Chelsea Hotel with it’s rich and spooky history as a bohemian haven for drinkers and artists and writers like Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, Mark Twain, Dylan Thomas, Jobriath, Oscar Wilde, Dee Dee, Leonard Cohen, Janis Joplin, Quintin Crisp, the Beat poets Burroughs, Kerouac, Corso and Gisnberg, Sam Shepard the playwright, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller aching over Marilyn, Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Madonna, Arthur Miller. All the punks I grew up with all stop there to look for the room where Sid was said to have killed Nancy but others who were there at the time think it was actually Rockets Redglare who was bragging about it and flashing Sid N Nancy’s money, but that room aint even there no more. The guy who wrote “2001 A Space Odyssey” did so at the Chelsea. A who’s who of  artistic  geniuses stayed there for significant stints of time-Jimi Hendrix, Iggy Pop, Joni Mitchell, Blondie, Thomas Wolfe, glam icon Jobriath lived in a crazy pyramid on the roof where he supposedly turned tricks and reinvented himslf as a supper club serenader until he died there from AIDS. In the fifties, Stanley Bard took over the desk and invited many eccentrics and bohemians to stay in a commune like work for rent type exchange, like he’d accept paintings as rent, that kinda thing, Nico, Edie, Robert Mapplethorpe all lived there, but the ominous prescence of scuzzy first floor drifters and junkies and hookers and cash upfront street people like John Spacely and Rockets Redglare was never likely to change just because some famous old writers and former dancers took rooms in the old landmark. Towards the end of it’s glory days, wild eyed glittery ex show biz people were still having impromptu drunken jams in the rooms, naked models are still posing for male wire sculptors, bent old crone’s were still dancing slowly through it’s hallways. Male painters were still hitting on younger women with old poetry. This movie’s like a moody, impressionistic, sleepy film school elegy to the gentrifying place’s legendary history with a particular attention paid to the sad struggle of the last elderly holdouts and stragglers who they were trying to wait out, or pay off, while they renovated the place in the usual attempty to gentrify it into an overpriced boutique joint, rather than a rundown libertine squat hovel with trees, birdcages and a kooky pyramid apartment on the roof.

  Of course, everybody thinks the place is haunted except for one rich deluded, piano playing dillentante who still dresses up in ballroom gowns for dinner and dismisses any theories about places holding energy as “Alice In Wonderland” bunk. I like the magic of the once seemy place, the topic, could watch many more hours on this history, but really, it is a sad heartbreaking swan song to a deteriorating building but also to a vanishing way of life. The upmarket billionaire real estate holders have been methoidically erasing all memory of a sixties counterculture, or real D.I.Y. bohemian neighborhood accessible to the proles with any affordable housing that made a punk movement possible in the seventies and eighties. They want us workers confined to our tiny cells where their deep state spooks and AI programs can observe all our habits online and they keep us too tired and worried about paying for groceries, gas and heat, and fretful about the ever mutating new plague of the week and emotionally overtaxed by divide n conquer partisan ping pong medi,a to concentrate our energies on building any real people’s organizations, at a grassroots level, or elevating and promoting our art beyond the social platforms. Whenever common people start hiding out and working together, dropping out of deafult unreality, and helping each other, becoming organized and effective at addressing the real needs of our neighbors, the oligarchs always send in their agent provocateurs and compromised snitches to Cointelpro and disrupt anybody trying to provide tents, gloves, sleeping bags, or grilled cheese and hot soup to people in the park. They locked down most all the public restrooms, took away all the public phones. Unremorseful money worshipping greedhead landlords drove out CBGB’S, Trash & Vaudeville, Sounds, Gem Spa, See/Hear. Even fucking Tower Records is gone now. In Boston, the screws turned the fucking Rat in Kenmore Square into an overpriced boutique hotel where you can pay $300 to stay in a tiny room with a photo of the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones on the wall. I don’t even think that rich designer Varvatos stayed at the CBGB’s location for long, once somebody turned that brand into an airport concept restraurant. I’m not positive, but I think he moved out of the Bowery, too. Like I said, I can’t even afford to set foot in manhattan no more. We’ve looked for my old pad at 18 Rivington Street on Trulia and Zillow but I don’t recognize anything in the pictures. I am one of the ghostly diehard remnants of another time, another tradition. There are those who always wanna get rid of “the old eyesores” and “fleabag tourist attractions”, “clean up the neighborhood” aint referring to pickin’ up litter discarded by uncaring yuppies, it actually just means push out all the poor people, so more of their elitist rich whitey McWhitebread friends can all be safespace celebrities together. I do not get along with those kinda people. Are they winning? I dunno, maybe, but it seems pretty likely they’re gonna be dead soon, too, and all they did with their lives was step on people, so they could gloat at grownup gotmine, class reunion show n tell. Not much of a legacy, if you ask me. I like all those intoxicated, undiscovered, mad painter elderly artists they always wanna drive out. Yuppies, greedheads, class patrols, and bloodsucking landlords are not cool at all. Never were, never will be, not even with a rainbow flag, not even with a leather jacket or kenta cloth or “Black Lives” bumper sticker. When I lived on Rivington, the walls all screamed, “DIE YUPPIE SCUM!”

Glenn Greenwald on Twitter: “For @SystemUpdate_, we interviewed 4, maybe 5, journalists, who reported #TwitterFiles. They all said the same: nobody from Twitter paid them; there were no restrictions on what they could say or report; nothing compromised their editorial independence. https://t.co/rFfYLWAGuj” / Twitter

HURRIGANES

I first heard “No More” on a cassette tape of the still unreleased Stiv Bators record a coll dude from Arizona sent to me when I was in my early twenties. I thought it was one of the best songs I’d ever heard and then ya know eventually the Hangmen did their version of the tune, actually called, “I Will Stay”, and now ya know you got Michael doing  a version with the original band that done it first the Hurriganes. Still such a hauntingly beautiful song and I remember many moments of intense like this, what the tune’s about. Love and devotion, we don’t see much of those things in these darkening dystopian days, but I still believe in that stuff. The Hurriganes were a Finnish band from the seventies that were in the same rockin’ spirit as Flamin’ Groovies, and Dr. Feelgood and Eddie & The Hot Rods, who probably influenced Hanoi Rocks and Smack a bit. Their classic line-up consisted of Remu Aaltonen Albert Jarvinen and Cisse Häkkinen, two of those guys died and drummer vocalist Remu hadda take the band through the usual lineup changes over the years, they appeared in a movie and had some more success in the new wave era when people like the Stray Cats, Robert Gordon and Link Wray, and Dave Edmunds were leading a bit of an international rockabilly revival. I think they’re rad and have the same real untamed get down spirit of the classic rocknroll originators from Little Richard and Chuck Berry to the MC5, really, check ’em out.

EVERYTHING DISAPPEARS

Tombstone gray overcast morning here, half my last column just vanished into the cyber ether-was probably too long for email. I think I lost my short lil Cherie Currie review. I must be getting old cause I misplace shit all the time, like I spend half my day looking for shit now. My keys, a channel changer, anything like that-a lyric notebook. Called the kids but they did not call me back, that’s always a bummer, got back in touch with a long lost friend after many years and he suddenly vanished again. It is a weird little time in history to be alive here. Most everything I see in pig media seems like WEF/WHO/Davos/Gates Reset misinformation and pro war propaganda, so that’s a drag. People keep trying to convince me that Billie Eyelish and Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles are really good. I just can’t seem to shake the getting old sucks winter time blues. I hate tv. I click through all those shows on Hulu and Netflix always searching for some decent music related shows but they all cost money we aint got, and I am sick to death of gnarly splatter shit, and glamorizing royals. Been reading the Andy McCoy book, it’s good, but parts of it are sad, and I learned a lot of stuff I did not know about the history of the band. Andy advises younger songwriters to never sell their publishing! I am still shocked by how much those guys seemed to blame the breakup on Rene Berg. Andy did not like Adler much, either. I still do, though!

“The US Gov’t gives billions of dollars a year to an apartheid State, weapons to a country committing a genocide, illegally occupies a country and steals their oil, and has knowingly been arming and training Nazi battalions for years

They are doing all this with our money.” (-Black In The Empire)
