Is Halloween the new Christmas?

Yup. I said CHRISTmas. I used the C word. In this PC climate of Eugene left coast manners it is no longer appropriate to say "Merry Christmas" -now it is "Happy Holodays". Example:when I went to the Weekly to list my September Christmas show and they called it a "Holiday" show.
Now before you stick me in with Bill O'Reilly and Rush I DO NOT BELIEVE there is a war on Christmas.It just seems that everyone has gone gaga over Halloween this year. Halloween songs all over the radio. Parties and costumes galour.A LOT more hoopla than I remember from last Xmas.
Is it because we have to set the clocks back? Is it because after tonight's celebrations, the rain and cold and darkness comes down on us like a dark curtain?
The pagan holiday of Christmas/Winter Solstice meant it was time to hunker down for a miserable winter. But now, especially with our world weary tatooed youth, the goal post has been moved up to late October.
Hopefully Satan hasn't replaced the Christ child. But in an age when the politician elders line up in lockstep behind cruel and materialistic leaders,it makes sense that what used to be GOOD is now EVIL.When things couldn't get much worse in our national psyche, it makes sense that the Goblins and Ghouls have replaced the good guys.
Happy Halloween and God bless.Party on.
And Bah Humbug.

In-Concert Latenite at the Bijou

The Bijou and KRVM’s Live Archive invite you to “In-Concert” latenite!

Join the Bijou Art Cinemas...for a first ever series of top quality, live concert music films as part of our latenite series. Included in this series will be such artists as Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, Miles Davis and a documentary on the recently deceased legendary Syd Barrett, just to name a few.

Believe it or not, only a small amount of material has been released from many great artists’ vast film libraries. Therefore, fans have been starved for the great performances known only by reputation. The Live Archive’s collection of rare and unofficial concert films is intended to fill this vacuum. Join us for an unforgettable series of live concerts from some of your favorite bands, uncut as they were meant to be experienced!

November 3. 4. 5
JIMI HENDRIX: BAND OF GYPSIES: Atlanta International Pop Festival –
July 4th, 1970 Peach County Raceway, Byron, Georgia
July 4, 1970 was an unbearable 115-degree day that caused performances in the second annual Atlanta International Pop Festival to be delayed until late that evening. Jimi Hendrix was scheduled for the prime slot that afternoon, but instead went on after midnight. A crowd of 500,000 awaited him that evening, the largest crowd of his career. Jimi chose to perform this show with little theatrics. His focus was solely on the music-- and the music it was! One of very few concerts known to exist by the legendary Band of Gypsies (and easily one of the rarest), this is the finest example of the Gypsies as led by young master Hendrix. In memory of the genius who continues to inspire artists today, the music contained in this film transcends the boundaries of what is known as rock.
• Encore: Band of Gypsies, Fillmore East footage, New Years Eve, 1969
(Approx. 1 hr. 30min. total)

November 17. 18. 19
PINK FLOYD:
August 8, 1970 – San Tropez, France
April 29, 1970 – KQED, San Francisco “An Hour with Pink Floyd” (PBS)
Seen Live at Pompeii? Now, come see it’s closest living relatives! Two highly significant gems in the Pink Floyd annals, these two concerts document the band before hitting superstardom. The era between 1969 to 1972 epitomizes the height of Pink Floyd’s early career, characterized by collective improvisation, electronic experimentation and introspective soundscapes. These living films--bold, intriguing and mysterious--provide critical new insights into the largely forgotten era that is (in this case), Atom Heart Mother. Celebrating nearly 40 years since the inception of their first album in 1967, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, you (and your central nervous system) will witness why Pink Floyd is “the first band in space”.

Being Sick Sucks!

If you wanna know what to expect, here's how it progresses.
Dizziness-sleepyness-slight tickle in throat-runny nose-stuffed up nose-sneezing-violent sneezing-coughing-congestion in nose moving into congestion in lungs moving to a feeling that you want to die.
I hope you don't get it but if you want to be prepared go out today and get nose spray, cough drops, aspirin, tea and chicken soup and prepare for the worst.

Why Are Gas Prices Lower This Month?

From the new Bob Woodward Book:
"Prince Bandar enjoys easy access to the Oval Office. His family and the Bush family are close. And Woodward told 60 Minutes that Bandar has promised the president that Saudi Arabia will lower oil prices in the months before the election - to ensure the U.S. economy is strong on election day.

Woodward says that Bandar understood that economic conditions were key before a presidential election: “They’re [oil prices] high. And they could go down very quickly. That's the Saudi pledge. Certainly over the summer, or as we get closer to the election, they could increase production several million barrels a day and the price would drop significantly.”"

Chávez endorsement results in a best-seller

Reuters, The New York Times
Move over Oprah - the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chávez, is calling the literary shots this week. Chávez made headlines for his United Nations speech on Wednesday calling President George W. Bush "the devil himself," but a reading suggestion he made in the same speech created a best-seller.
Chávez began his UN speech by displaying a copy of the U.S. writer Noam Chomsky's book "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance" and recommended that Americans read it instead of watching Superman and Batman movies, which he said "make people stupid."
By Thursday, the book had risen from backlist obscurity to be the No.3 bestseller on Amazon.com. By Friday, it was No.1. Before the speech, the 2004 book reprinted by Owl Books was being outsold by thousands of other titles on the online bookseller's Web site. Chávez did make one mistake: At a news conference after his UN address, he expressed regret at not having met Chomsky before the linguist's death.
A call to Chomsky's house in Lexington, Massachusetts, found him very much alive. "I continue to work and write," he said. He also said he was struggling through "10,000 e-mails" that he had received since the remarks by Chávez. While retired from teaching full time, Chomsky said he still went to his office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, occasionally lecturing and also working on a new book.
Chomsky, 77, said that he was glad that Chávez liked his book, but that he not describe himself as flattered. "We should look at ourselves through our own eyes and not other people's eyes," he said.
Chomsky said he had taken no offense at Chávez's remarks about his being dead. It did land him in the exclusive club of luminaries, like Mark Twain, who was reported dead before his time. $@
"The Bush administration backed a coup to overthrow his government," Chomsky said. "Suppose Venezuela supported a military coup that overthrew the government of the United States? Would we think it was a joke?" $@(Reuters, NYT)
