TV News Talking Heads Say: Republicans are BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE of Representatives ...and... ROCK THE CASBAH takes on New Meaning since Hamas Murdered 260+ People at a Music Festival!

Guernica by Picasso with a Child standing in front
Guernica by Picasso... 
Different War, Same Insanity




Mindless Vegetables in the Republican Party 
FAIL AGAIN! They remind me of the Song


Lyrics:
By order of the ProphetWe ban that boogie soundDegenerate the faithfulWith that crazy Casbah sound...

Headline: Hamas attack on Israeli techno festival leaves at least 260 dead and many missing...

Madmen Killing People Dancing??? We Certainly Don't Need PEOPLE LIKE THAT in The Future... Both Israel and Hamas are Killing Each Other. WONDERFUL... I believe there are Bad People on Both Sides... With 8 Billion People Alive Today, I'm Glad they are Taking Action to Reduce the Population! THANKS!

and Now, Israel has Commanded all Civilians to WALK SOUTH out of Gaza City... GTFO! Because Intense Bombing Will Kill People That Remain... Quite an Insane Twist of Fate as Hamas Has Commanded Everyone to Stay... So... Choose Death or Not... That's a Classic Darwin Survival of the Fittest Choice!

I'm not sure that Telling People to Walk South will Actually Work... After all, Americans Have been Telling Immigrants to Walk South and NO ONE Seems to Listen... Don't they KNOW that Brazil is Like, Totally Excellent?

I'm Looking for Information About a SUCCESSFUL LIBERTARIAN UTOPIA. a Town, a Commune... ANYTHING! I'm Writing a Book About Libertarian Ideas and It Appears That THEY ALWAYS FAIL! Please Name Names in the Comment Section Below... or Email Me gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]comThanks!

Maybe Like "Warp Drive" in Star Trek, Their Beliefs Work Great in FICTION But Never in Reality... Remember: The Unseen Hand of the Free Market CAUSED The Power Failure in Texas in 2021... Without Federal Regulation, The Power Company FAILED to Winterize Their Natural Gas Generators and DISASTER!

It would Really Suck if I Published this Book and then Found Out That Their Ideas ACTUALLY WORK!

Why Do Ayn Rand's Grand Ideas Always Fail?
Because They are a FICTION PLOT DEVICE
not an Actual Plan for Running the World... DUH...

Classic Stories: "THE UMMAGUMMA OF CAMBRIDGE" - by gvan42 - "The Golden Spoon of Montezuma" - "The Origin of Popcorn" and "The Glazier with a Rock" and Trippy Mushroom Drawings!



When the aliens found out that their spaceship was infested with Ummagumma they stopped at the first planet (eARTh) and dumped them. The place was called Stonehenge. The Ummagumma are an annoying life form that supports themselves by petty thievery. They were first reported in Dickens books...you know... Oliver Twist...Pickpockets...They also have an annoying habit of taking things apart and not putting them back. Have you ever noticed that for some unknown reason things just "go on the blink" ? That's the work of the Ummagumma. For centuries they lived in the swamps near Oxford (Cambridge, England - the land of Eng) but one day they walked down to the docks and snuck aboard a boat. When the captain found out that his boat was infested with Ummagumma he stopped in the first port and dumped them. He threw them right overboard and into the San Francisco bay. They swam to shore and quickly blended into the population. You see, they are short and brown and could be mistaken for Chinamen...............................Stay tuned... next time they disassemble Sutro tower in a futile attempt to "call an intergalactic taxi". ............................And then they wander down the coast and climb... Mount UMUNHUM... The giant box on the mountain overlooking the city of Saint Joe. ...................................................The Ummagumma always stowaway and they just had to get off the planet eARTh. This planet's just too boring. Got to get back to the Swinging Planets in the Crab Nebula...That's where all the Fun Is. and so, gentle reader Ta Ta For Now...

Psychedelic Poetry - "CEREMONY AND RITUAL" - a story - Fiction - written by Gregory Vanderlaan about a Trip to Philadelphia - Grateful Dead at JFK Stadium and The Spectrum Arena - deadheads: stories from fellow artists



OUR MINDS HAVE BEEN FUSED INTO ONE SHIMMERING
COLONIAL ANIMAL…
FLOWING IN THE
CURRENTS OF THE MUSIC…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire !


IN THE SHADOWS,TORCHES FLICKER IN THE BREEZE.
THE ORACLE BEGINS TO SPEAK,
FEEL THE HEAT…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!


WE DANCE OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL
REALM OF TIME AND SPACE.
THE CROWD ERUPTS IN OUTBURSTS OF FREE-FORM MOTION
AS THE INTENSITY OF THE JAM PEAKS
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!
MY BODY IS TRANSFORMED INTO A PINBALL AND
I RICCOCHET AROUND THE SPECTRUM
ARENA BOUNCING OFF THE FLASHING LIGHTS.
A CROWD OF DEADHEADS
SURROUND ME INTENT ON TELLING ME STUPID JOKES…
THEY JUST…know… THAT I WILL LAUGH…
adrenaline, serotonin, synapses on fire!


THANK YOU DR. ALBERT HOFFMAN
***************************************
This was written after attending a Grateful Dead concert in JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was sitting up above the crowd in the bleachers and could see the dancers move more enthusiastically during peaks of the music… less motion during gentle passages… as the dynamics of the improvisation ebbed and flowed, the dancers moved accordingly… like sea anemones moving in the currents of the ocean… I also mention the Spectrum in Philadelphia… It has many blinking advertisements for Atlantic city casinos in the area where refreshments were being served…

Classic Stories: "The Glazier with a Rock" - and - "The Golden Spoon of Montezuma" - and - "The Origin of Popcorn"

"The Glazier with a Rock"
(a glazier is a person that replaces broken windows)

When I lived in Maryland in an apartment complex with 500 units there was a man who replaced broken windows... When there were no windows to replace he hired children to throw rocks thru windows... Then he had work to do and got paid for replacing the broken windows. This plan is not that unusual... I have heard that firefighters in Trinity County, California often are arsonists... Start a fire, get work as a firefighter...

"The Golden Spoon of Montezuma"

When Cortez arrived in Mexico, he was interested in GOLD. He also wanted to impress the people he met with how rich and powerful his KING was. He told an Indian that his King was so rich that he used a golden spoon for EVERY meal and then discarded it after he was done. His King was so rich that he could afford to THROW AWAY gold. The Indian was not impressed. The Indian said that HIS King was so rich that he could afford to use a NEW GOLDEN SPOON for EVERY BITE! How was this possible? Well, Montezuma used TORTILLAS for a spoon. He would scoop up his food using a tortilla chip (golden spoon) and so he used a new "golden spoon" for each bite. I love telling this story when I'M eating Mexican food at a restaurant.

"THE ORIGIN OF POPCORN"

Way out in the Ozark mountains Sandy Chapin built a house out of rocks.He found an old farmers fence that had fallen down and he just moved it onto his land and stacked it up. Near the front door he put two abalone shells. Here in California, abalone shells are quite common but out there in the Ozarks they caused quite a fuss. The hillbillies came from miles around to see the "pearls as big as a possum". Pretty soon rumors got around that the "pearls" were magic. Folks said that they helped the old folks with their bones on rainy days. You know how people talk around the stove in the general store. Tall tales indeed. They said it was a cure for Rheumatism and arthritis. Then the shepherds got into the act. When they get to talking the stories get exagerated all out of proportion.

Pretty soon animals were lined up down the road all the way to the creek. A mooing and a quacking like you never heard. Barking dogs and oinking pigs. But the old dog 'zeke just lay there on the porch. Night fell and the moonshine appeared. Who brought it? The moonshiners, of course. They cooked it in a still and squeezed the goodness out of the corn. By the light of the moon the corn sparkled. A wind came up and the stalks moved like they were dancing. Waves of motion like they were dancing to a string band. Somebody started a fire to bar b-q a pig and that's when things really started popping. You see, the wind blew the glowing coals out into the field and the cornstalks caught on fire. Pretty soon the whole field was in a conflagration and presto chango ... POPCORN!

Sandy is a real person and does live in the Ozarks with a dog, Zeke in a rock house...

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
