Twenty years ago today, I posted a tribute to Magnum TA on my old Wrestling Arsenal website. He was one of my favorite wrestlers, inspiring great excitement during my teen years. What a fuckin STUD, especially with his hairy chest! Here are a few of the best images from that old gallery, spiced up with my 20-year-old captions now included.

There was just something different about this wrestler: his lean physique, his skimpier-than-average speedo trunks. And he suffered beautifully, such a submissive pussy when he wrestled other Top Superstars, every hold an intense sexual experience for him.

The Celebration of Nonsense / Terry Allen

Terry Allen’s poem is one of three prize winning poems in 3rd Wednesday’s annual poetry contest. “A Celebration of Nonsense” grabbed my attention with its absurdity and humor. However, through the humor, the author made an interesting point about work and creativity in our culture. David James, Contest Judge Terry Allen is an emeritus professor of Theater Arts at the University of…

I love projects like this - the reissue of Roxy Gordon "Crazy Horse Never Died". According to Paradise of Bachelors (North Carolina), this 1988 album's reissue has been in the works for a decade. It comes with a 48 page "chapbook". From the Bandcamp page: "Roxy Gordon (First Coyote Boy, or Tu Gah Juk Juk Ka Na Hok Sheena) (1945–2000) was a Choctaw, Assiniboine, and Texan poet, journalist, artist, activist, and musician." He was friends with Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen and Terry Allen wrote glowingly of his work.

Roxy Gordon's (Dallas, Texas) songs stand alongside other Native artists that combine cultural references with a folk/country sound: Willie Dunn, Morley Loon and John Angaiak.

246: Terry Allen & the Panhandle Mystery Band // Bloodlines

Bloodlines Terry Allen & the Panhandle Mystery Band 1983, Fate (Bandcamp)

Terry Allen sings like a Hunter Thompson-possessed Guy Clark and on 1983’s Bloodlines his Texas Panhandle Mystery Band stalks a range between heavy Skynyrd and regular weight Jimmy Buffett. As with his other records, Bloodlines is home to a merry group of psychotic characters, from a ghoulish Irish freedom fighter to a highway spree killer to the Christ Jesus as a two-bit stickup man (“The Lord moves in mysterious ways / And tonight my son he’s gonna use your car”). Other Allen albums (like 1974’s Juarez) dig deeper psychologically, but there’s something to be said for a record content to share the audience’s lurid fascination with the American grotesque without any superficial moral flapping. The expression of the coldly amused looking lamb on the cover, by an unknown artist and apparently found on Lubbock’s East Broadway, could be Allen’s own.

There’s a thread of old-time religiosity running through Bloodlines, but Allen drives it through such hairpin turns between mockery and sincerity that by record’s end the notion of faith is splayed out beaten in the hardpan dust. Though we open and close with genuinely sweet gospel numbers, it’s the hot breath of “There Oughta Be a Law Against Sunny Southern California” that sticks with you: “An’ I remember the bitch / whose black tongue lied / when she told me she’s dis-satisfied / And I remember her daddy / Big as a truck / He said, 'Fuck with me boy if you want to fuck / Yeah fuck with me boy if you want to fuck.'”
