News Flash!!! They freed the slaves. That seems like old news to some people but I have to remind my friends every once in a while. I got rid of all the bad news crew and surrounded myself with supportive people. That means zero tolerance for bullshit.

Meanwhile. Bad Manners came to LA and got everybody dancing at Safari Sams.

Buster and I went thrift shopping and ate at Denny’s were I introduced him to Rodney Bingehiemer. Buster was going to be on KXLU with Stella but they had to stay in Corona. That was OK I sent my Pal Elise Thompson from www.Laist.com to interview the band out there. He is coming back and we are going to put together a major festival called BADFEST like they do in London! Bad Manners loved Tinys and we had a cool party there after the show. That band is sooo nice and down to earth. Thank you Tiny’s you rule!

I sang with Jeff Goldblum last week at AQUA. I enjoy singing Billie Holiday songs, they say I sound a lot like her, so Mac Africa told me to come down and sing. Gary Allen went with me and we hung out with Lance, who mans the Mels dinner bar in Hollywood and his handsome French Canadian pal. I’m making a record with Gary now and he sounds great! Iggy Pop’s producer in the 8o is recording it!

Come to Club Fluffer at the Hyperion Tavern at 1941 Hyperion in Silverlake. My friend Don Bolles has a great club there on Tuesdays. My club is every other Thursday, it’s free and it’s fun. Tequila TV will be back on Time Warner on Fridays at 10:30 pm.

Madame Pamita is great! I booked Pam ay Karen Black’s Birthday party At Linda Kandel’s home. 200 of the best and the brightest were in attendance and Linda is the perfect hostess. She is all butterflies and daffodils to me.

I was watching the movie, Easy Rider and at one point they visit a commune in the desert, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda, eat with the family of hippie dwellers. Though there was little food but they all looked healthy and they all smoked pot and worked very hard to grow food. My old Friend Carmen Phillips dressed in an Egyptian glitter headdress, played a part of wondering actors who visit this dusty teepee oasis. She died 3 years ago but she always felt that Easy Rider ruined her career with its Western Romanticism and overt drug usage.
Too bad, she died of cancer and I dare say it would have been less painful if she had indulged herself in pot instead of people killer R.J. Reynolds witch’s brew Salem cigarettes. I have not read the Marijuana bible but I never heard of anyone getting cancer from cannabis.

I remember sacred truths, the 60’s, the American Indian way, and the Hippies. Simple food for simple taste. God’s little flower flourished till the new old boys club took over in Washington. I don’t want Eli Lilly to the only doctor in town. Physicians can heal themselves.”

John Nicholson sez "Most people have enough problems with the booze and all".

On a hot California evening I met with one of the co founders of Hollywood Holistic on Sawtelle . The owners are genuinely interested the health and welfare of their patients and service them in a non-clinical atmosphere. Sick people should be happy and Marijuana seems to make people happy. I mean they laugh a lot. I was always taught to smile because it tricks your brain into believing you are happy. My grandfather had Glaucoma and the doctors told him it was ok to smoke marijuana to relieve the stress on his retina but he refused because he felt everything the Republican government said was true but then he loved John Wayne westerns so he bought what that America was selling him and lost his sight slowly and moderately painfully.

Dennis Hopper who is never seen in Easy Rider without a jay in his mouth. But no amount of medication can quail his hostile republican nature. His Long hair, Motorcycle, Puka necklace ad fridged jacket does not make him cool. He will never heal his longs to be somewhere else no matter where he is. . Their will always be the overindulgence
Mr. B. is more like Captain America. Savvy about the law and human rights and the Federal Government Mr. B. is extremely pleasing to the eye so my interview was a pleasure and not the chore that most assignments can be. He has a natural twinkle in his soul that overflows through his eyes. He calls the office his shop and he built it himself.  Mr. B. was a person who knew the future of human health was about to change paths.  Captain America and Billy are Parading without a permit.The Feds are playing that Scissor happy beautiful America routine with your rights. You have selective rights depending on their mood. The new drug czar is trying to crack down on your rights as a California with their Federal debauchery. The old boys in Washington like whiskey or AA Pick your poison…too much or not enough.

Jack Nicholson sez "you know this used to be a “hell of a good country”.
And then a bunch of Rednecks snuff him, He was too intelligent, and Hillbillies like the KISS keep it simple stupid way of life. He playing a smooth talking ACLU lawyer named George Harrison. Smart people get fucked with. My old friend Tim Leary was constantly fucked with for exploring inner space, which is the opposite of outer space.
I spoke to Mr. B. about which way the wind currently blows in California. We agree with Jack’s analogies.

I saw Josie Cotton at the Echoplex. She was great and so was one of my favorite girls, Abby Travis who plays with Josie. I went with my Swedish teacher Evelyn and Ron from LA'sCity Beat. Josie's Videois comming out soon so beon the lookout. Robert Musselman,Ginger from Punk Globe and I are in it. She has some fine talent backing her up!Josie is a very groovy girl and Yes, Josie, Johnny is queer.

Mike Savage’s benefit at Safari Sam’s was like a Punk Rock Reunion. He looks great. He is such a cool dude.
The Wizard of Gore Premiere was amazing. The movie was very good. I took Paul Picasso as my date. I walked the red carpet and got snapped by the paparazzi. Director Jeremy Kasten is the handsomest man on earth in a Tuxedo. The party was at W in Westwood. We sat by the pool and celebrated the Los Angeles Film Festival.
It was Bloody SWANK!

My old friend Chuy played at Boardners the other night. I loved sitting on the patio and feeling the summer breeze. Trisha looks so pretty and she did a great job remodeling the old hellhole. I saw Kommunity FK there and I loved seeing Patrick and Sherry again. It has been years and they are well and happier than ever!
