I'm not sure where I got this material, either Pacifica Radio, PBS, or KSAN but I taped it off the radio in early 1971 just before I moved to Denver to begin my radio career as a news man on KFML AM FM, free-form radio. It was one of my first news presentations. The MSM in Denver at the time made little or no mention of Operation Dewey Canyon III.

Personally, I had never heard an anti-war speech as powerful and I was anxious to share it. Nothings changed, it has as much or more merit today as we seem to have learned nothing from the Viet Nam war.

Let's pray there will be no more, no more...Part I

Kate McGarrigle's funeral, Notre Dame Basilica, Montreal...(tribute to Kate McGarrigle and her family)



Kate's last song Proserpina, and her last appearance, Royal Albert Hall, December 9, 2009



After the encore, Rufus invited his mother Kate and sister Martha up onstage to sing "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," an 1855 song by Stephen Foster (Martha and Kate were, in fact, sitting right behind me). All of us in the audience, still standing from our standing ovation, were completely mezmerized (nobody sat down, or moved a muscle). The Gramercy, 6/6/07

Mimi Margharita Baez, folk singer and activist: born Standford, California 30 April 1945; married 1963 Richard Farina (died 1966); died Mill Valley, California 18 July 2001.
It was a concert she did with B.B. King at Sing-Sing Prison in New York, followed by an appearance arranged by her cousin to sing to patients at a half-way house for people with drugs problems, that marked out for her the activist role she was to play for the last two and a half decades of her life.
Yet, the most important work she did in her life was as organiser of the Bread and Roses musical charity...





Ted Nugent: Obama makes me want to ‘throw up’, Rolling Stone publisher ’should die’
Ted Nugent is an angry, angry man.
In a recent interview with culture publication Royal Flush, the so-called "Motor City Madman" let loose with a series of tirades that would make anyone's mother blush.
On President Obama, the southern rocker said he believes "Mao Tse Tung" had arrived, "and his name is Barack Hussein Obama."
"I wanna throw up," Nugent said.
He started off the interview by jabbing supporters of animal rights, claiming he wants to kill 100 more of something every time he hears the two words together in a paragraph.

possibly the best Rock & Roll tune ever recorded...

































it's time for "music protective services", she slaughtered "I'm Sorry" at the 08' Grammy's...



NASHVILLE, Tennessee — The head of Taylor Swift's record label is fired up and defending his superstar against critical comments about her Grammy-night performance.
"She is the voice of this generation. She speaks directly to (her fans), and they speak directly back to her," said Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta in a phone interview. "This is not `American Idol.' This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance."

Kate McGarrigle Dead: Folksinger Mom Of Rufus, Martha Wainwright Dies At 63
TORONTO — Canadian folk singer and songwriter Kate McGarrigle, best known for performing with her sister Anna, has died of cancer. She was 63.

Kate and Anna, known as the McGarrigle Sisters, began their careers performing at Montreal coffeehouses in the 1960s with a group called the Mountain City Four. They got their break in the 1970s, when their songs were covered by numerous artists, including Linda Ronstadt, who used "Heart Like a Wheel" as the title song to one of her albums.





Rufus & Martha Wainwright...

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, will return to her broadcast roots and take her conservative message to Fox News as a regular commentator, the cable channel announced Monday.
"I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News," Palin said in a statement posted on the network's Web site. "It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."

about the worst thing that could happen to anyone, even Fox News, would be to have Sarah Palen on “their team”…think about it…she wreaks havoc wherever she goes…always late, if she shows up at all, won’t take direction from anyone, has made enemies of everyone she’s ever worked with…this could work out really well for the free world

Calif. authorities told to return 60 lbs. of pot
Superior Court Judge William Sterling on Friday ordered the marijuana returned to Saguro Doven. The 33-year-old's attorneys successfully argued that he had the legal right to transport it under medical marijuana guidelines issued by state Attorney General Jerry Brown.

Police need reasons to believe a suspect is dangerous before firing a Taser and can't use their stun gun simply because the person is disobeying orders or acting erratically, a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled Monday.

The decision by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sets judicial standards for police and for people who claim they were victims of excessive force after police hit them with a Taser dart.

R.I.P. Brittany Murphy







McCain Aviation Career
McCain crashed 5 jets, plus was responsible for the Forrestal fire. Something made the plane behind McCain fire a rocket, which hit McCain's external center fuel tank, and caused a fire. McCain panicked, and dropped two bombs into the fire.




Did He Start The USS Forrestal Fire?
Surviving crewmen and those who investigated the Forrestal fire case reported that McCain deliberately 'wet-started' his A-4E Skyhawk to shake up the guy in the F-4 Phantom behind his plane.


Incompetence Or A Stunt
'Wet-starts', done either deliberately (the starter motor switch allowed kerosene to pool in the engine and give a wet start) or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft. 'Wet starting' was a common practice among young 'hot-dog' pilots.






















Zuni Rockets Were Volatile Design
In McCain's case, the 'wet-start' 'cooked off' and launched the M34 Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that punctured the Skyhawk's fueltank, knocked the M-65 1000 lb bomb off it's 500 lb rated mount, and touched off the explosions and massive fire.



McCain Left With The Wounded
When the carrier Oriskany came along side, and McCain was put in a chopper and whisked away. McCain was the only Forrestal crewman to be immediately transferred


132 Dead Sailors, And Countless Wounded…apparently, Johnny “Wetstart” McCain is an old hand at jumping the gun…

O'Donnell To Steele: "You Led Your Party To A Disastrous Loss... Congratulations" (VIDEO)
Lawrence O'Donnell had some tough words for RNC chairman Michael Steele this morning regarding the GOP's loss of the 23rd congressional district in New York for the first time in history. O'Donnell accused Steele, along with Sarah Palin and others, of leading the Republican party to defeat in the 23rd by ousting the Republican candidate Scozzafava from the race in favor of a more orthodox conservative who proved too orthodox for the voters. An incredulous O'Donnell asked Steele how such a stunning defeat could happen.


O'Donnell: Michael, you made the 23rd the most important congressional district in the country. The Democrats didn't do it. You did it. You lost it. You led your party to a disastrous loss that it has never experienced in that district before. Congratulations, nice work.
Steele: Hey Lawrence, if it makes you feel good, baby, then have at it. Just lay it on me. I'll shut up and listen to you. Because clearly you've got your talking points from the DNC. You roll them out and have fun with them. You're not going to spoil my juice right now; you're not gonna take this high away from me.



We would be remiss in not mentioning Steele's brilliant introduction in which he expressed his joy with yesterday's results by simulating the Heisman move and saying "assume the Heisman position." Co-host Mika Brzezinski was mortified enough to bury her hands in her face. A screenshot of Steele's move and Mika's embarrassment...
