Erick - If you are asking me if you are redundant, I have to say, No, but you do repeat yourself.

Erick - If you are asking me if I would enjoy seeing you vomit, I have to say, No. I do not particularly enjoy seeing anyone vomit, for to see someone vomit means having to smell them vomiting. So any pleasure I might get watching you heave would be cancelled out by the rancid stench. However, I might like to watch you bleed.

Richie, if you are asking me what I think of the Reatards, I have several opinions. First, musically they are a good band, but I think that they are not as good as the hype suggests. Judging by the way people rant about them it is like they invented the wheel. They didn't, but they do make a very good tire. Second, I saw them play live  with the Wongs on KDVS. The Wongs were boring crap. The Reatards were great. But what do you know, that asshole persona pretty much carried itself  out of the studio and into real life. Both bands were incredibly arrogant dickheads, sending out a pretty strong "and you are?" vibe, which maybe the Reatards could get away with just a tiny bit, but the Wongs? Give me a fucking break. They were coattailing it on that tour. So I have mixed feeling about the Reatards. They definately benefited from their Goner association and the fact that the cream of 90s garage punk had pretty much died off with the break up of Los Huevos. So if the Wongs were their competition, I mean, who wouldn't sound great?

I must tell you now, that you won't be hearing from me for a few days. I have writing that I must get done and answering you questions, while rewarding, has got in the way. I will give you takes at the end of the week. Feel free to ask what you will, but note the above.

I hope this answers your questions.

Richard Adventure -  I havent followed wrestling for some years. Don't have cable so it is difficult to. The last wrestler I really liked was Roddy Piper. I had a girlfriend who took me to see a huge match at Arco Arena where he headlined. The thing went for 4 hours and they filmed it for a few shows. She even bought me a Hot Rod shirt which I still wear. So I ask, what is your take on a 75 year-old man-boy like myself tooling around town in a Roddy Piper t-shirt? And what is your take on Piper?

Johnno- If you are asking me what I think of the Rolling Stones, you are asking me an incredibly complex question which I will answer with a simple answer and then tell you more. I like 'em.  And the easiest way to tell you why I like 'em is to tell you which of their records I really like and why:

Some Girls: Because it reminds me of my youth. The first song I ever had with my first girlfriend was Beast of Burdon, which I think was the first song I ever got laid to. Shattered is a perfect song. I once got stoned with some sexy older girl listening to it on her quad system.

Between the Buttons: Pretty flawless record, dont you think? Forget the hits, just listen to All Sold Out & Complicated and you know it is a hell of a record.

12x5: Not only a great title for a record but a nice and raw rock and roll romp (please not that that last phrase is copyrighted).

December's Children: At least to me the first glimpse at how special of a band they are. Just great all the way around.

Their Satanic Majesties Request:  You either love this one or you ignore it. Some say it is their silly attempt at pysch. I think it is a successful try at pop-psych and the cover is inane! Fucking 3-D.

Beggars Banquet:  Maybe their best record. It still sounds sinister, despite the endless classic rock radio plays.  I mean, these guys do sound like they made a deal with the devil. The songs are great, the production is dark, and it pushed limits and buttons.

Emotional Rescue: I love this record. It is so smart and funny. Actually, it is one of the funniest rock and roll records ever made. And boy that poster is ugly!

You notice I've left out Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed, and Exile on Main Street, all fine albums and with some great songs on them. Really, Exile should make the list but I just dont listen to it that much. I think I've listened to Pussy Galore's version more than the Stones'. Problem is it is not a teenage album - too subdued and too heroin damaged - and I was buying most my Stones records as a teen. By the time I picked it up, I was flooded with records and so it waits the day when I can retire off A Frames royalties and play for people to change me and the next record. I also left off bootlegs, and a have a few (there is a guy I used to play music with  who has about 100 of them - yow!) and there are some really great things on them. Man, when those guys were on they were ON! I saw them live once and that was on the Emotional Rescue tour, the one the recorded for Still Live, and boy was that as shitty as the album that resulted. I was young enough to be taken in by a lot of bullshit like Ted Nugent swinging on to stage in a lion cloth and landing on the ground with stage explosions and the riff to Cat Scratch Fever, okay maybe that wasnt stupid - you, too, would fall on your head if you got to experience that - however I still could tell a shitty show when I saw it and they were shitty.  Like many folks they lost me after Tattoo You.  I dont bag on them for being old and still playing - though the cell phone commercials that had a bit of them in it looked pathetic. Mick looked like he was doing jazzersize while constipated and was barking out the songs. I do bag on the assholes willing to pay 70 bucks for what is a bad oldies act. I mean they would see a far better show checking out one of those professional cover bands. I will give the Stones this: They arent touring with  some stand in for Mick as the RS Rolling Stones like the DK Dead Kennedys and they have more songs to support them than a geriatric Exploited. So yeah, I like them, but what did you expect?

Vint- if you are asking about my CHILDHOOD friend who USED TO make bombs, please not CHILDHOOD  and USED TO. I've lost track of the guy and after a stint in juvie and one in big people's jail, I dont think he makes bombs any more. He also never got into drug manufacturing. He was addicted to the bang. I think now he is a state worker.  I'll write about him some other time.

I hope this answers your questions.

Scrod - If you are asking me if I know of the life of Alfred Jarry, Yeah sure I do! All those guys were nutso. You should read about the shit Picabia and Satie used to do.  And Duchamp. The dadaist were a bunch of smart asses.

Latname - I fyou are asking me what I think of grilled cheese sandwiches, fireworks, and the Coasters, have I got three answers for you. First, I was just walking down the street the other day, with my girlfriend and downstair neighbor/friend and were were going on about how the grilled cheese sandwich can be the perfect thing. On good thick bread with sharp cheese it is fantastic. One of the great things about Paris is there are these cheese bread things on every corner and they are almost grileld cheese and the cheese is great. I am sure the Frenchies think it is just crap food and crap cheese but the shit tastes good. How can you not love a people who love their cheese and bread?.... I used to like fireworks a whole lot and have tons of stores about a childhood friend who used to make bombs (some other time), but as I age I am bored by them. It used to be that firework displays in the sky were really cool, but they are so common place now. Every fucking baseball game ends with fireworks. Boring. I mean in big cities on the 4th of July you still get some pretty rad stuff in the sky but in Frisco it is always foggy on the 4th so it isnt most fun. In California we get rea pussy fireworks because this place is a tinderbox so the coolest thing we got were ground bloom floweres, which were fun to throw in the air. While it was always great when someone snuck roman candles over from Nevada, I am kinda glad we didnt have them. Someone in my group of friends would have losed...uhh lost an eye and another would have set his bedroom on fire. When we had firecrackers it was not uncommon to throw them at each other inside the house. For the last ten years or so, my favorite are smoke pots and those ash worms. Smoke pots are just rancid and ash worms are so fucking pathetic...The Coaster are great. Too bad so many of their songs have been used in commercials. If you want the same kinda thing but without thinking of some fast food fish place every time you hear the band, try the Olympics. Fucking great band.

Scrod - If you are asking what my take is on takes, I like 'em. It is kinda like vomiting and vomiting is good. But since I have become a take master I dont get much done.

Young Steve - If you are asking me about my wardrobe, than I will admit that, yes I wear sweatpants, adult dipers and a kilt. Not all at once, mind you. I mean I always am in the dipers. Gotta be. Have no choice there. But when I go out I sweat a sweatsuit. It is really all I can fit into now. Around the home I wear a kilt because it makes changing dipers so much easier.

I hope this answers your questions.

Scrod, Richie & Johnno - If you are asking me what I think of Alfred Jarry,  Paul Lynde, & Lester Bangs, I have to say, Glad you asked.

Al Jarry is a fun read. I'm not a Euro living in1915 so I am sure some of the humor and shock isnt there but there is enough other stuff and just the oddness of the Ubu plays that makes him worth looking at. And if some ambitious high school kids were to stage a production of his plays I would go.

Paul Lynde is a cool dude and a brave one. Figure he was one of a very small handful of semi-out people in the 1970s and that was while he held the center square on Hollywood Squares. I mean the center square meant a lot of power and a lot of face time. Which mean that we got to hear that snarky snort and laugh and those really snide and tired sex & celebrity jokes that were somehow funny. Really, the only reason to watch HS was Lynde, Phyllis Diller and Nipsey Russell, just as the only reason to watch the Match Game was for Charles Nelson Riley and Richard Dawson. I find that one of the worst things about modern television is the lack of regular celebrity game shows. It is all reality TV and if there are a mob of celebrities it is for some charity thing on a popular game show that lasts one season.  And I dont want revivals. There is nothing worse than seeing Martin Short standing where Alan Thicke should be.

Lester Bangs has had the unfortunately luck of being addicting and easy to read and easy to immitate. Bukowski is the same way, and like Bukowski, Bangs unfairly gets judged by who hypes him, how much hype he gets, and the work of his immitators. For some reason Hunter S Thompson, who has had the same hype and scores more immitators has escaped this kind of backlash. Yes, I am a Bangs fan. But not 100%. He wrote a lot of crap and was off on may things, but the writing when it is good, is great. I mean the piece Psychotic Reactions is fantastic and so is his review of Funhouse. What is really fucked up is that Psychotic Reactions is the only thing out there and that is in print that is worth picking up by him. That second collection of stuff that came out a few years ago is horrible. That is the editor's fault not Bangs's, since Lester is dead. If you can find it, his Blondie book is good. You wont find many beter arguments for punk rock than that book. And I think the song Let it Blurt is good. Havent read the bio on him. By the time it came out I was well past putting the guy on a pedistal and then looking at him as a very good writer and a pioneer in "music journalism," a term I loath.

I hope this answers your questions.

Vint - If you are asking what I think of your pal's opinion of Stirner, his one line critique sounds text book Marxist.  As I pointed out earlier, Stirner suffers from a Little Man complex but did have some insights and interesting things to say. I suggest you read him yourself and dont trust my or you pal's conclussions.

I hope this answers your question.

S GG - If you are asking me what I think of Charles Fourier, the 18th Century French utopian socialist, as well as the Situationists, the answer is manyfold. I will start with Fourier. I have to admit that it has been a very long time since I read any Fourier but I have read some.  It is very hard not to agree with much of what he writes, but that is the case with most Utopians. I mean they go on and on about how the world will be once their vision comes true and it sounds all good and you just can't wait, especially with the French Utopian socialist, because most  those guys envisioned a libertarian society at the very end.  Of that bunch Fourier was the most practical, which is why Marx, Proudhon, and Kropotkin borrowed from him. However he was still out there enough for that wackjob Thoreau to get wet over. Personally my favorite Utopian socialist is Saint-Simon, who was a complete mess, attempting suicide a few time, having multiple affairs going and writing a lot of really fruity stuff. Unlike most of the Utopian socialist he was pretty authoritarian and that authoritarianism didnt let up when we got to paradise. What makes his Utopia so grand is it involved lots of gentle sex and cuddling, while rivers of fruit juice flowed by.  Sounds a bit like Coleridge so maybe the guy did opium. I'm not too sure.

As far as the Sits, I really dont have much to say. I've read Deord and Vaneigem and Fredy Perlman and a whole load of essays and all of it - except for the Black & Red translation of Society of the Spectacle, which is just a horrible translation - seemed pretty obvious, just common sense stuff. I am sure it was mind blowing when they came up with it, but when I was reading it in the 1980s, it was like looking out the window and seeing snow then looking at the page and the page saying Look there is snow out the window. That doesnt take anything away from their analysis. For a lot of folks, especially nowadays, it will strike them pretty hard and true. But we live in a time where critical thinking isnt really taught. I think I got lucky and was among one of the last wave of people who public schools taught critical thinking en masse. Since then its one or two good teachers, who slip through the cracks and they are now so busy fighting to keep the Christians from making them teach that we all came from a land called the Garden of Eden where people cuddle among fruit juice rivers and no one had to wipe their bottoms til the evil snake ruined the poo party.  That said, I do think that there is one thing about the Sits that gets ignored and that their art. I think the art and theater aspect to them is great, and that is actually how I got turned on to them.  And if that interests you you gotta check out Ubuweb http://www.ubu.com/  I dont know if Vint has stumbled on to Ubuweb but I have a sick feeling if he hasnt, once he gets there we arent going to see him for a very long time.  Great great great things there. One of the best things on this internet.  I think someone recommended it to me on here, but I had stumbled on it already, as they host the 365 Days mp3 blog, which is also addicting.

I want to add one thing about Stirner. I think he is useful but I am not a fan.  His vission is so dark and cut throat. He was basically the typical henpecked Little Man and his Max Stirner persona was his way to break free.  He has that same world-is-attacking me that you get form Hobbes, though at least the Stirner man fights back. As far as the Nietzsche/Stirner thing: The reason we read Nietzsche and not Stirner is because Fred was a great prose stylist. I used to read Beyond Good & Evil for the writing. Stirner can get tiresome and brittle.

I hope this answers your questions.

People - If you are asking to be bored to tears, I implore you to read on.

Vint - If you are asking if there can be an anarchist/fascist state, uhhhh, politically there can't. Even theoretically there can't. Forget what D'Annunzio says about himself or is credited with, politically he can't be both a fascist and an anarchist. Why? Because fascists are for a strong state, a centralized authority that controls both the mechanisms of power (police, army, bureaucracy) and the economic activity. While there is capitalism under fascism, it is a command economy, that is it operates under instruction of the state. Anarchism is antithetical to a strong centralized state and a centralized economy. The closest to centralization anarchism get is a federalized structure made up of worker coops, collectives and communes, much like what arose in Catalona during the Spanish Civil War.  I am rusty on my D'Annunzio but I am guessing he was like a lot of Futurists in that he was an aesthitic fascist (something folks like Boyd Rice use as an out) and a social anarchist. In other words, he believed that he was of a creative elite and therefore above most people. Because of this he should not be ruled over by the commoner and must have rule over himself. At the same time he considered it above and dangerous to himself to rule over others because, first he is an artist and should not have to rule over people. That is not his job. And, second, to set up some kind of structure in which he or his fellow artist were rulers meant creating an institution that could be hijacked by the lowly and turned against the elite. This is straight up Stirnerism, though Max Stirner would have added we are all strong people with the ability to blow each other to bits so we need to respect each others power and live in a philosphical state of anti-authoritarian detante.  Nietzsche was a big Stirner guy and ran with these ideas. When I read Stirner's Ego & His Own years ago, I often thought about how his ideas could lead to fascism - the whole all powerful man thing. In fact, Stirner is refered to by some as one of the philosophical fathers of fascism. Actually, more it is more than a reference. One of the editions of Ego... that I have is in the Roots of the Right series. However Ego.. is also considered one of the classic works of anarchism. I totally forgot about Stirner when I replied to your question about fascism and anarchism. I also forgot about aesthetic fascism.  But I am not alone. I think when people talk about the Futurists they also fail to provide the distinction between the aesthetic and political. Also what usually isnt pointed out is that the conflict between the anarchistic political philosophy and the aesthetic fascism lead a lot of Futurists to abandon Futurism when it was hijacked by the political fascists and the Fascist Party of Italy. As artists, they had no problem touting Futurism for its own sake, but they did not want to become propagandists for the state (though some were happy to do so). Interestingly, the same dynamic was happening within Russian Futurism. When Stalin insisted that all artists bow to the state and killed those who didnt, many of the then former Futurists abandoned all support for the Soviets and were bannished or killed. Mayakovsky killed himself rather than face humilation and death in the Purges. One more thing and then I will shut up. The dadaists learned the lesson from the Futurists not to be beholden to any political philosophy. While many dadaists were socialist and anarchists, they did not use their art to serve those philosophies. When Breton came on the scene and wanted to make surrealism a tool of the communists, there was much anger and fighting, a schism that continues among surrealists today.

On a different note, Vint, have you read John McPhee's The Ransom of Russian Art? If not, I highly recommend it. It is a great read. And you should be able to find it at the library or most used book stores.

Excuse me now, I have to adjust my beret.

I hope this answers your questions.

Vint - If you are asking me my opinion of the Italian Futurists, the fascist poet Gabriele D' Annunzio, and Italian fascism and anarchism, I really must asked to get paid. I mean this is stuff that you buy a book or go to college for. But being the generous sport that I am I will give you an answer, though it will be brief. Aestheticly they are the tits, sool looking and sounding stuff. Politically, I fall out with them but I do understand. Actually I know a lot more about the Russian futurists, who were communists. Both were pretty obsessed with technology, progress, and the promise of the future. Both tended to believe that the state, a pure state, was the way to that future, which in both their eyes tended toward a libertarian/anarchistic future.  And both were idealists so when the ideals shattered against reality they either embraced authoritarianism with more gusto or turned into anti-authoritarians. There was the same kind of dynamic going on with Italian fascism and Italian communism of the 20s & 30s and many people jumped between camps. Some jumped due to idealism, some jumped because they wanted to be on the winning team, some jumped because they were revolted by the authoritarian excesses of their now-former philosophy. In the 20s, there were a few Italian anarchist who checked out fascism, and there were certainly anarchist involved in futurism in the 1910s, but they were there for the aesthetics more than anything else. Also, by the time fascism took hold in Italy, there were no connections between anarchists and fascists. The few anarchist who had any truck with fascists either abandoned their anarchism or shunned the fascists by the time the Spanish Civil War broke out and the fascists were  supporting the Spanish fascists. Anarchists also turned on the communist and vica versa (see Ken Loach's excellent movie Land & Freedom).  As far as D' Annunzio, I am sure I read him in my youth when I was checking all that stuff out, but as I wrote I got taken in by the Russians, especially Maykovsky, and then the dadaists, who are much more fun.

Officer Brad - If you are asking me how those wiley Inca got all those rock up those fucking mountains and whether or not I'd like to live there, I have to say I do know the secret of the Moving of the Rocks.  The Incas, you see, had really broad backs. They were also about 20 feet tall and weighed 1000 lbs. They were giants. That and they had a fleet of UFOs who would drop much larger stones, as well as cattle, wherever they so   desired.  I know all this from my friend Mick Mucas, who is Peruvian and very proud of his culture. As far as living there, why not but I would rather live in Valparisio, Chile where a friend of mine owns a bookstore, which he said I can manage any time I want.

I hope this answers your questions.

Vint - If you are asking me about whether sourkraut is a vegitable, I have to say that you are insane.  It is fermented cabbage as in pickled.  When was the last time the fucking Surgeon General told you to have 8 servings of pickles a day? Pickles arent fucking vegitable, so how could sourkraut be? Pickles are their own thing, kinda like amphibians arent exactly reptiles. I mean they might be but you know they arent. Snakes and lizards are reptiles and frogs and salamanders are amphibians. Or you think a bat is a bird but they say it is an animal but you and I know it isnt a bird or an animal. It is a bat. That is what pickled things are, sort of like the bats of the vegitable kingdom. As far as the Italians who served that sourkraut pizza bread, they've been reported and their Italian card will be taken way by week's end. Thanks for finking them out.

I'll get to your other questions later. Letterman is almost on.

I hope this answers your questions.

Vint - If you are asking me if I would demand royalties if someone used the name I AM PENIS EMPIRE, damn fucking right I would. Ask anyone, I am a greedy mother fucker.

Young Steve - If you are asking me about your friend with the unconventional pizza eating method, soda, and mixed martial arts, I have three answers for you. 1. Your friend's pizza eating method is kinda like openning a beer and letting it go flat before drinking it. I just dont get it. I also dont get people who need ranch dressing to eat their pizza. What kinda white trash shit is that? As an Italian American I am deeply offended and request that if you are gonna fuck up pizza by putting shit like sourkraut on it, dipping it in ranch dressing or decontructing it while you eat it, than stop the fucking charade and dont call the fucking stuff you are eating pizza. Call it sourkraut cheese bread or cheese-tomato dipping stick or an eating project. You see, this is why Italian style fascism is totally necessary. I try and try to embrace the anarchist side of my culture. I try to champion Malatesta and Sacco & Vanzetti but you people give me no choice but to suggest that ol Benito was right. There are times when people around here have called me Lil Duce and I've said "No no no. I am for freedom. I am for liberty." But this mashed potatos on pizza bullshit makes me wanna put on a Black Shirt! Dont push me. Dont push me. It could get ugly.

As far as soda goes: I am an unrepentant root beer man. God has made no better soda, though I have tasted some cherry sodas that are pretty damn good. I like a good cola but it is difficult in this day and age to find a good cola. One of the pleasures of Mexico is that all the soda comes in bottles. It is very nice to pick up a 16 oz bottle of pepsi or coke or orange crush. I dont even like orange crush but i'll buy it once a year just because it is in a bottle. The great thing about root beer is that all the good stuff does come in a bottle. I do like soda but I have to say that I am a bit more partial to the bubbly water and have been since I was a youth.  I think my three favorite beverages are Bubbly water, coffee and scotch. Oh and a good iced tea. 

Mixed Martial Arts? You dont know boxing or boxing fans if you are asking a boxing fan about mixed martial arts. What next? What do you think of Ultimate Fighting? Boxing, son. Boxing. There is no other sport like it. As corrupt as it might be, it is the greatest sport on earth.

I hope this answers your questions.

vint - you need to check out bobby brown. not the crackhead soul singer. sacrameno's bobby brown, the one man band psych dude. worked with drones and stuff and made his own instruments. he recorded his second album bobby brown live  - in his van. i tracked him down by sending a letter to the address on the back of his records, which he put out himself, and he called me about 6 months later. he is a very nice guy but somewhat scattered and repeats himself alot, kinda like older really smart outsider types sorta do. and what he really wants to talk about isnt his music but his physics theory called axonda, which predated string theory. all that is foriegn to me. anyway, go to slsk and find the enlightening beam of axonda   and   bobby brown live.  i am sure someone has axonda there as it was booted on cd by those rip off artists akarama.  poor guy hasnt seen a cent from them.  he says that drag city wants to reissue his stuff but he is so wary of the "industry" and it is hard to keep him on track. i get him ready to go and he takes off to some place to live out of his car or with a friend.  or he goes off talking about his other projects like all this film he says he shot of gypsies and rituals and wanting to make it into a huge study of axonda.  the guy is both fascinating and frustrating and i fear i will become like him when i get old....errrr older.

point made, i have to move on to the Sox victory over the Angels tonight.  Man, send in CSI the fucking Angels got robbed. But you got give it to that sneaky bastard Pierzinski. He set up the robbery by running to first after swinging his third strike and the plate umpire believed the ball hit the dirt as a result. next batter up knocks it to the wall and sox win.  what a bad win. i AM pulling for the sox. being northern california born and bred i cant root for a SoCal team. plus i am wishing that the sox take the whole salami. i would love them to win the world series ESPECIALLY after tonight's controversy. can you imagine how violent chicago will be. no bar downtown will ever be safe. there will be sox and cubs fans going at each other.  the sox fans saying look what we got and the cubs fans saying you stole it, you stole it.  it will be the city of brotherly hate!  and if the sox win it all, you know there will be head lines across the US saying White Sox World Series Riots, 6 Killed.   you think the R Sox celebration was gnarly. every fucking  cracker grinding his teeth down to dust in a speed induced fit will be out on the street knifing people in celebration. never will so many of chicago's prison bound population will have so much fun. it will be escape from new york city deep dish style. i cant wait.
