Fuck the Parkinson's, the Dr just gave me a reason to smoke MORE!

Tweek's parody of psychedelia reminds me just how strange things really got in the late 60's. That strangeness even beaming into middle American households and watched by beehive hairdos and horned rim glasses. Compared to TV today, how interesting that this was prime time material in 1968 when I was but a wee sprig.

Crown of Creation

...and yes, Grace Slick is in blackface.

^^^Believe it or not I remember that although I was only eight at the time . I thought Gracie was sporting a QT tan not blackface now I could nearly be conflicted when thinking back on my childhood crush ......... Naw never I still love pre "Starship" Grace .




EDIT: Dreamerr why not stick a post it note on your coffee pot that says "today is Saturday" so in the morning you can start on a new day . at least it wasn't 3 Mondays .

Looks like she smeared Nutella on her face....baaaad tan. She was still one of the hottest around though.

Here's someone's comment on it on youtube:
"Her blackface statement in 1968 was meant as a power salute to the Olympic runners who gave the black power salute, after their victory in the 68 games. Grace meant it as a positive step forward and not a throwback to the Mammy-Gone With the Wind days. Lighten up militant white brothers."

That is very 1968!

So was this:

Mind you, this pre-dated the Beatles rather tame in comparison rooftop concert in London. Yes, that is Rip Torn in the hotel window! Filmed by Jean-Luc Godard for a movie.

Oh...so she did that on purpose? I could think of a million less embarrassing things she could of done to show her support. Celebrities

Grace was quite the phony. My dads college roommate was a lighting engineer in the 60s/70s. He was even on festival express. Anyway, he lit an airplane show where grace was demanding payment before going on even though they weren't supposed to. After the promoter finally relented, she runs on stage yelling "music is free, play on!"

And @RUDE BOY, I like your coffee idea pot. Except I don't drink coffee, so I might just put a permanent sticker on my solo, "today is Friday "

 

[satyrday]

I do like the psychedelic sentiment - you are the Crown of Creation, not you are an insignificant mote of dust in the universe.

 

[Dreamerr]

I like Mondays cause the kid goes to school and I am alone. Remember I am retired and I don't drink coffee either hehe. On the solo would work fine. I only drink water.

Hit that Solo Dreamerr!!!!

I just tried my new pen from Dr. Dabber with some nice wax after our drive up to our cottage. I'm baked. Too much fun!!

Add about a cup of water, some carrots, celery and onion...maybe a dash of salt and pepper...and you will have a wonderfully, angry broth.

Dreamerr, I think I found the flight for you today. Or to send others...

That's sound awfully similar to the recipe for stone soup but the key ingredient is curiosity rather than anger.

What makes everything someone goes through worth it?

I got my answer!

 

[Dreamerr]

She is sooooooooooooooooooooo cute. I love that age for an hour of course lol then take them back.

That might help explain how it devolved into this ... a real 80s low point:

"Someone always playing corporation games" ... yeah, lol.

Goddamn dice.

Interesting. Although carrots, celery, onion and water can be the base for any soup...especially one steeped in anger.

 

[Vicki]

This doesn't apply to anyone specifically, but it does fit the thread.

 

[Enchantre]

I keep thinking that, somehow, that song was supposed to be a satirical blasting of the corporate music industry...

You know, like the Boss, and Rockin' in the USA.

So much fail.
