Help celebrate Jack's

Birthday at the Tool

Shed and join in on the

fun.

In case you don't know,

Jack Dyer is a dancer

and model whose

performing career

started in 2018.

Mr. Dyer has worked

with a number of

models including Cade

Maddox.

Today I got a text from

the The Ginsberg

foundation on the

passing of Paul

Krassner.

As we go about

the business of

documenting our

time on earth, we lose

people daily. Some

celebrity deaths are

marked with much

emotion as a dear

friend. Even though

you've never met them,

the loss feels real.

a 1962 political manifesto of the American

student activist movement Students for a

Democratic Society (SDS)

Values

Making values explicit--an initial task in

establishing alternatives--is an activity that

has been devalued and corrupted. The

conventional moral terms of the age, the

politician moralities--"free world," "people's

democracies"--reflect realities poorly, if at all,

and seem to function more as ruling myths

than as descriptive principles. But neither has

our experience in the universities brought us

moral enlightenment.

Our professors and administrators sacrifice

controversy to public relations; their

curriculums change more slowly than the

living events of the world; their skills and

silence are purchased by investors in the

arms race; passion is called unscholastic. The

questions we might want raised--what is really

important? can we live in a different and

better way? if we wanted to change society,

how would we do it?--are not thought to be

questions of a "fruitful, empirical nature," and

thus are brushed aside.

with Commies and Fellow Travelers, Ideologies

Are Exhausted, Bipartisanship, No Utopias.

These are incomplete, and there are few new

prophets. It has been said that our liberal and

socialist predecessors were plagued by vision

without program, while our own generation is

plagued by program without vision. All around

us there is astute grasp of method, technique--

the committee, the ad hoc group, the lobbyist,

the hard and soft sell, the make, the projected

image--but, if pressed critically, such expertise

in incompetent to explain its implicit ideals. It

is highly fashionable to identify oneself by old

categories, or by naming a respected political

figure, or by explaining "how we would vote"

on various issues.

Theoretic chaos has replaced the idealistic

thinking of old--and, unable to reconstitute

theoretic order, men have condemned idealism

itself. Doubt has replaced hopefulness--and

men act out a defeatism that is labeled realistic.

The decline of utopia and hope is in fact one

of the defining features of social life today. The

reasons are various: the dreams of the older

left were perverted by Stalinism and never

re-created; the congressional stalemate makes

men narrow their view of the possible; the

specialization of human activity leaves little

room for sweeping thought; the horrors of the

twentieth century symbolized in the gas ovens

and concentration camps and atom bombs,

have blasted hopefulness. To be idealistic is to

be considered apocalyptic, deluded. To have

no serious aspirations, on the contrary, is to be

"tough-minded."

Unlike youth in other countries we are used

to moral leadership being exercised and moral

dimensions being clarified by our elders. But

today, for us, not even the liberal and socialist In suggesting social goals and values, therefore,

preachments of the past seem adequate to the we are aware of entering a sphere of some

forms of the present. Consider the old slogans: disrepute. Perhaps matured by the past, we

determination. A first task of any

social movement is to convince people that the

search for orienting theories and the creation

of human values is complex but worthwhile.

We are aware that to avoid platitudes we must

analyze the concrete conditions of social order.

But to direct such an analysis we must use the

guideposts of basic principles. Our own social

values involve conceptions of human beings,

human relationships, and social systems.

We regard men as infinitely precious and

possessed of unfulfilled capacities for reason,

freedom, and love. In affirming these principles

we are aware of countering perhaps the

dominant conceptions of man in the twentieth

century: that he is a thing to be manipulated,

and that he is inherently incapable of

directing his own affairs. We oppose the

depersonalization that reduces human being

to the status of things--if anything, the

brutalities of the twentieth century teach that

means and ends are intimately related, that

vague appeals to "posterity" cannot justify the

mutilations of the present. We oppose, too,

the doctrine of human incompetence because

it rests essentially on the modern fact that

men have been "competently" manipulated

into incompetence--we see little reason

why men cannot meet with increasing the

skill the complexities and responsibilities of

their situation, if society is organized not for

minority, but for majority, participation in

decision-making.

authentic; a quality of mind not compulsively

driven by a sense of powerlessness, nor one

which unthinkingly adopts status values, nor

one which represses all threats to its habits,

but one which has full, spontaneous access to

present and past experiences, one which easily

unites the fragmented parts of personal history,

one which openly faces problems which are

troubling and unresolved; one with an intuitive

awareness of possibilities, an active sense of

curiosity, an ability and willingness to learn.

This kind of independence does not mean

egotistic individualism--the object is not to

have one's way so much as it is to have a way

that is one's own. Nor do we deify man--we

merely have faith in his potential.

Human relationships should involve fraternity

and honesty. Human interdependence is

contemporary fact; human brotherhood must

be willed, however, as a condition of future

survival and as the most appropriate form of

social relations. Personal links between man

and man are needed, especially to go beyond

the partial and fragmentary bonds of function

that bind men only as worker to worker,

employer to employee, teacher to student,

American to Russian.

Palm Springs Gay Men’s Chorus

To Hold Auditions for 21 st Season

“Sing With Us”

Palm Springs, CA- June 26, 2019... The Palm

Springs Gay Men’s Chorus (PSGMC) will

be holding open call auditions August 27

at 7:00p.m. at the Mizell Senior Center,

480 South Sunrise Way in Palm Springs.

This special evening of camaraderie will

also be an opportunity to volunteer and

get involved with one of the chorus’ many

committees. Interested singers can also

attend open rehearsals on August 13 and 20

at 7:00p.m. to experience what it is like to

perform with the chorus and meet its members.

PSGMC continues to “Build a Chorus

Like No Other,” with a commitment to a high

standard of excellence in their performances.

In the audition process, PSGMC will be

recruiting singers for the main chorus, but

also for their small ensemble group “The

Arrangement.”

“The “Sing With Us” campaign stems from

the chorus’ tight knit group of men who are

passionate about performing and entertaining

at civic and private events throughout

the cities of the Coachella Valley. Singing

with PSGMC gives everyone an amazing

musical experience and a family of men to

share their music with. The process is easy

and requires the singer to match pitch, have

a great smile and good stage presence,” said

Douglas Wilson, Artistic Director, PSGMC.

The chorus is an auditioned, volunteer

choral ensemble consisting of male singers

age eighteen and older, gay or gay friendly.

With a wide range of varying musical

training and backgrounds, the chorus is

committed to fostering an environment of

professionalism, respect, pride and unity.

The Palm Springs Gay Men’s Chorus is

comprised of gay and straight-allied men of

all ethnicities. As we grow our membership

and continue to build diversity, we encourage

the Trans Community, if you identify as

a man and sing in the tenor or bass range,

to audition for the chorus.

The mission of the PSGMC is to be a

chorus of gay men, who through musical

excellence, community outreach, and civic

responsibility, are dedicated to entertaining,

inspiring, and educating the culturally

diverse community in which we live.

The Southeastern Native American

Tribes consist of the Cherokee; Choctaw,

Muscogee or Creek; Chickasaw and

Seminole Tribes. The largest of these

tribes is the Cherokee. historically

these Tribes occupied the area that is

now comprised of the states of Georgia,

Alabama, North Carolina, Florida and

Tennessee Their traditional arts consisted

of clay pots. These were both decorative

and utilitarian. They were decorated with

sticks and stones and baked in fire to

make them durable for holding liquids.

They also carved pipes made from clay,

wood, and soapstone. The pipes were

used in religious and peace ceremonies

and also for smoking tobacco.and were

meticulously decorated. The pipe that is

shown in this article has an interesting

stem which could have implications of

a blow job. This pipe is made by the

Chickasaw Tribe.

Double-wall baskets were another artistic

and utilitarian craft made by the women

of the Tribes. The baskets featured

designs of various geometric and nature

patterns.

NATIVE AMERICAN ARTS - SOUTHEAST NATIVE

AMERICAN ART AND THE TRAIL OF TEARS

Cherokee men gave the masks ferocious

features that were painted and also they

added fur and feather decorations. The

masks were used to taunt enemies and

would be worn in ceremonies prior to a

battle.

The Southeast Native American Tribes

were established centuries prior to the

arrival of the European immigrants.

They were mostly agrarian growing crops

of corn and beans They primarily lived

in towns which covered hundreds of

acres. They had established streets for

residential and public use. Their system

of governance was a chiefdom with

high levels of military organization. An

initial agreement was made with George

Masks were another artifact of the

Southeast Tribes. These were carved

of wood. Only men made masks. The Washington and the new American


Republic. It was basically a laissez-faire

agreement allowing the Tribes to maintain

their lands and gradually integrate them

into European culture and Christianity.

More immigration from Europe brought

settles to the Southeastern States with

dreams of becoming wealthy from growing

cotton and tobacco on the rich land. The

Native American Tribes became more of an

annoyance. The story that is now history

of abhorrent treatment of Native American

peoples in which one of the most infamous

chapters was the Trail of Tears incident,

taking place in the 1830s beginning with

the administration of another pre-Trump,

racist president, Andrew Jackson. Jackson

was racist and xenophobic in that he hated

Native Americans. His administration

began what was titled the Indian Removal

process. All of the Southeastern Tribes

were to be moved from their native

geographic area which they had lived on

for centuries to an area recently accessed as

part of the Louisianna Purchase, to become

known as Oklahoma. This removal reached

its peak after both settlers and the U.S.

military had committed mass murder and

destruction of the existing Native American

habitats. The Cherokee Tribes one of the

last Tribes to be "removed" was forced to

march on foot 1,200 miles to the Oklahoma

Territory. The Southeastern Native

American country which had been lived in

for centuries prior to the 1800s shrank to

almost nothing as Oklahoma became a new

state and Indian territory was gone forever.

But when you work at one of the few gay

media outlets (with a soul), one that does

not loot everything like it was a money

tree. You get to meet many celebrities

and some that fall somewhere between

a fan and a friend. Paul Krassner was

a celebrity of stellar proportions in the

universe, but maybe not so well known in

the pop culture. But he was a friend of our

community from early on.

While there may never be a Paul Krassner

Funko Pop and what the hell do they know,

they have Flik. The star of A Bugs Life.

If there was a dotted line between those

who are actually "woke" and those not or

pretending to be woke, Paul Krassner is a

way to vet them.

In 1967, Paul Krassner published Mad artist

Wally Wood’s parody as a centerspread for

his satirical magazine, The Realist originally

in black and white but its now available on

paulkrassner.com.

According to Paul's web site:

The Realist was the legendary satirical

magazine published from 1958 to 2001.

Founded and edited by Paul Krassner, his

credo was “Irreverence is our only sacred

cow,” and in order to practice what he

preached he published some of the most

incendiary cartoons that ever appeared in

an American magazine.

Paul Krassner calls himself an investigative

satirist. Don Imus labeled him “one of

the comic geniuses of the 20th century.”

And, according to the Los Angeles

Reader, “Krassner delivers 90 minutes of

the funniest, most intelligent social and

political commentary in town.”

On the other hand, a couple of FBI agents

went to one of his performances and

stated in their report, “He purported to be

humorous about government policies.” His

FBI files indicate that after Life magazine

published a favorable profile of him, the

FBI sent a poison-pen letter to the editor,

complaining: “To classify Krassner as a

social rebel is far too cute. He’s a nut, a

raving, unconfined nut.”

“The FBI was right,” says George Carlin.

“This man is dangerous – and funny; and

necessary.”

One of his last gigs was recorded by Will

Paige in 2012 at Trunks Bar Cathedral city

California. Available online at

2019 Comic-Con International: San Diego

July 18 -21 comic-con.org

On March 21, 1970, a group of teenage

comic and movie enthusiasts under the

nominal adult supervision of a superfan

named Shel Dorf mounted a one-day

comic “minicon” at the US Grant Hotel

in downtown San Diego, similar to a

convention that Dorf had staged in Detroit.

This was the 50th edition of the show and

it gets bigger and better every year, the

world's fair of the generation.

San Diego will have a question on the

ballot next March about whether to

expand the convention center or Comic

Con might move to a larger venue.


THE LAST WORD

"Life's journey is not to arrive at the

grave safely in a well-preserved

body, but rather to skid in sideways,

totally worn out, shouting 'Holy sh*t…

what a ride!", says Hunter S Thompson,

who killed himself rather than live in our

world. Now I am sad to report my friend

and neighbor, '60’s counterculture figure

Paul Krassner has died. The last time I

was with him, I produced a show for him

at what is now Trunks Bar, for his book

re-release “Pot Stories for the Soul” He had

such a good time, he jumped up and took

the mic. I was like, "Sure", gulp. The DDG

is proud to support freedom of speech, but

this was Krassner. Thompson and Bruce

were his contemporaries and mentors.

But he did a solid 30 minute slot, gave us

a tour of the 60’s that landed on that day,

saying "Today, no one says "thank you", they

just print it on your receipt". On that night,

Ashley Araya Sparks and Gregory Heyer

put on a great 60’s tribute, as he told me this

would be his last performance; it is fitting to

be in a gay bar in Cathedral City. But he was

happy, he said these people are my people,

maybe because they are gay, but they get

the world as it really is. There is no air of

entitled space around them, they all showed

up mentaly. Also if you follow the beat

track, Krassner's appearance was developed

by noted local advocate, Lanny Swerdlow.

Later that day, we smoked out the rented

limo. We talked about our mutual friend

Hunter S Thompson, Hunter, Krassner

claimed, Often sent him bags of pot seeds

in the 60's to spread around Manhattan.

Which he did.

Then he said, "Let’s do some coke, Will",

which we did on the limo driver’s chest.

After the two alpacas got in, even species

identification gets kind of dicey. Later,

Krassner unrolled a place mat from the

Whale's Tale Restaurant & Pub on 69 Ocean

Blvd, in the Hamptons. I knew it because I

did the graphics on that place mat. It was

how I paid the rent when I lived at the 6

Red Coat Lane beach cottage writing for 3

or 6 years just off Old kings’ road. Calling

it a cottage is flattery because it was known

as one of the old rotted bog shacks by the

swamp. Still, I did my best writing there, but

the place mat was not important, it was the

handwritten map on the back we wanted.

The map contained detailed locations where

he also placed gold next to each pot plant.

But he was too high to let anyone know, so

no one dug up the gold. We used the map

to find one location and only found another

note. A clue perhaps? A warning? Nope

it just said “I needed the fucking money.

P." scene… ala Raul Duke as Hunter S

Thompson

But for me, it was sitting in the parking

lot talking to Paul fucking Krassner, a key

figure in my counterculture world of the

1960s, a member of Ken Kesey's Merry

Pranksters and a founding member of the

Yippies. It happened. A hero died on July

21, 2019, in Desert Hot Springs, California.
