Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day #Sailors #Navy #PoetryCommunity #MilitaryConflict #MIA

When I published this poem, “Pearl Harbor, We Remember” on my blog in 2016, commemorating the tragedy of Pearl Harbor, I had no idea that it would be recognized two years later and included in the story “Our View: Sailor comes home” in the Joplin Globe newspaper. This was humbling to me then, as it is now. The news article is about Seaman First Class Clifford George Goodwin who was missing in…

Bette Midler - The Rose 1979

"The Rose" is a pop song written by Amanda McBroom. It was first recorded by Bette Midler for the soundtrack of the 1979 film The Rose, in which it plays under the closing credits. Released as the second single from The Rose soundtrack album, "The Rose" hit number 1 on the Cashbox Top 100 and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Additionally, it was number 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart for five weeks running.

Midler won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The film, loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin, was nominated for four Academy Awards in 1980, including Best Actress in a Leading Role (Bette Midler, in her screen debut). "The Rose" however did not receive a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Despite not having been recorded prior to the soundtrack of the film The Rose, the song had not been written for the film. According to McBroom, AMPAS inquired of her if the song had been written for the movie, and McBroom answered honestly that it had not. McBroom did however win the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for "The Rose".

"The Rose" received a total of 56,6% yes votes.

“Why does everybody think I’m so wild? I’m not wild. I happen to stumble onto wildness. It gets in my path.” Cookie Mueller

"Cookie looked like Janis Joplin-meets-Jayne Mansfield, a redneck hippie with a little bit of glamour drag thrown in. She never led a safe life, unsafe was her middle name. She lived on the edge, always." John Waters

Born on this day 75 years ago: vivacious bad girl, writer, go-go dancer, advice columnist, art critic, drug dealer, globe-trotter and avant-garde New York scene-maker Cookie Mueller (née Dorothy Karen Mueller, 2 March 1949 – 10 November 1989). She’s a fiercely charismatic presence in early John Waters "gutter films" like Multiple Maniacs (1970), Pink Flamingos (1972) and Female Trouble (1974). Her close confidante, photographer Nan Goldin would describe Mueller as “the most fabulous woman I’d ever seen ... She was the starlet of the Lower East Side: a poetess, a short-story writer, she starred in John Waters’ early movies. She was sort of the queen of the whole downtown social scene.” (Unsurprisingly, Goldin has an eye for vivid detail. In the wrenching 2022 documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, she recalls that the first time she met Cookie in Provincetown in the 1970s, Mueller was wearing vintage Springolator heels held together with safety pins!). I highly recommend investigating Mueller’s wry and elegant autobiographical musings like Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black or Garden of Ashes (recently reissued) – or Chloe Griffin’s excellent 2014 biography Edgewise: A Picture of Cookie Mueller.

“A Greenwich Village hippie in younger days, Tork was the first to leave the group. And as legend has it, he was the most freaked out by the Monkees experience. ‘That’s accurate in my case,’ he said from Toronto this week. ‘Pop entertainers in the ‘60s had no experience with fame. It takes a balanced personality, beyond that usually attracted to entertainment, to be able to handle it. I knew Jimi [Hendrix] and Janis [Joplin], and I know they both came to music out of loneliness. I once heard Jimi sing backstage, singing full out, like he never did onstage. When I told him it sounded great he gave me this embarrassed laugh, like a kid rejecting a compliment.’” - The Boston Globe, August 10, 1989 “[We would] watch him from backstage. What he did was simply exquisite. I loved to watch the way his hands worked — it came so easily to him it looked as if he wasn’t playing at all. Most guitar players have so much tension in their arms, they hunch over. But the easier you are — and Jimi was extraordinarily easy with it — the wider your range of expression.” - Peter Tork, A Biography of Jimi Hendrix by Charles R. Cross (2006) “Michael and I would sit backstage and listen [to Jimi Hendrix] and just marvel.” - Peter Tork, Newsday, April 14, 2007 “Genuine, reliable and huggable, Peter is a natural person — really gets off on talent — loves other musicians and can jam along with the best of ‘em. I saw him holding his own with Hendrix, Stills, Young.” - Davy Jones, They Made A Monkee Out Of Me

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY

based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … December 1

Today is World AIDS Day! What will you do to be involved?

1642 – The General Court of Connecticut adopted a list of 12 capital crimes, including "man lying with man." The law was based on the Massachusetts Bay Colony's Liberties of 1641, which in turn was based on the Old Testament proscription in Leviticus..

1715 – An Oxford University student notes in his diary that sodomy was very common there. "It is dangerous sending a young man who is beautiful to Oxford."

1945 – Bette Midler is an American singer, actress, and comedian, also known by her informal stage name, The Divine Miss M. She became famous as a cabaret and concert headliner, and went on to star in successful and acclaimed films such as The Rose, Ruthless People, Beaches, and For The Boys. During her more than forty-year career, Midler has been nominated for two Academy Awards, and won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a special Tony Award. She has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

Midler was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. She was named after actress Bette Davis, though Davis pronounced her first name in two syllables, and Midler uses one. Midler majored in drama at the University of Hawaii, but left after three semesters. She earned money in the 1966 film Hawaii as an extra, playing an uncredited seasick passenger.

In the summer of 1965, Midler relocated to New York City, using the money from her work in the film Hawaii. From 1966 to 1969, she played the role of Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway. After Fiddler, she joined the original cast of Salvation in 1969.

In the summer of 1970, Midler began singing in the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the city. During this time, she became close to her piano accompanist, Barry Manilow, who produced her first album in 1972, The Divine Miss M. It was during her time at the Continental Baths that she built up a core following. In the late 1990s, during the release of her album Bathhouse Betty, Midler commented on her time performing there, "Despite the way things turned out [with the AIDS crisis], I'm still proud of those days. I feel like I was at the forefront of the gay liberation movement, and I hope I did my part to help it move forward. So, I kind of wear the label of 'Bathhouse Betty' with pride".

In 1971, Midler starred in the first professional production of The Who's rock opera Tommy, with director Richard Pearlman and the Seattle Opera. It was during the run of Tommy that Midler first appeared on The Tonight Show.

Midler released her debut album, The Divine Miss M, on Atlantic Records, in December 1972. It reached Billboard's Top 10 and became a million-selling Platinum-certified album, earning Midler the 1973 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. It featured three hit singles, with "Do You Want To Dance?", "Friends", and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", which became Midler's first #1 Adult Contemporary hit. Her self titled follow-up album was released at the end of 1973. It reached Billboard's Top 10 and eventually sold close to a million copies in the United States alone.

In 1979, Midler made her first motion picture, starring in the 1960s-era rock and roll tragedy The Rose, as a drug-addicted rock star modeled after Janis Joplin. Soon afterward, she began a world concert tour, with one of her shows in Pasadena being filmed and released as the concert film Divine Madness (1980).

Since that time she has had numerous Billboard hits and performed in many movies and appeared in numerous sitcoms.

1955 – Olivier Rouyer, born in Nancy, France, is a retired football striker from France. He earned seventeen international caps (two goals) for the French national team during the late 1970s and early 1980s. A player of AS Nancy, he was a member of the French team in the 1978 FIFA World Cup. He coached Nancy from 1991-1994.

Rouyer came out as gay in 2008 after leaving the team.

1970 – Matt Sanchez is a journalist, who has worked for Fox News and other organizations. He previously served as a Marine reservist and was involved in a controversy about access to campus for military recruiters at Columbia University. In March 2007, Sanchez was awarded the first "Jeane Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award" at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

In the early 90s, Sanchez performed in gay pornographic films as Pierre LaBranche and Rod Majors. In 2003, Sanchez joined the United States Marine Corps and was trained as a refrigeration mechanic with the rank of corporal. On March 16, 2007, John Hoellwarth, a staff writer for Military Times Media Group, reported that Sanchez was the subject of a Marine Corps inquiry about his appearances in gay pornographic videos and related allegations. Of concern was whether "Sanchez had enlisted prior to the end of his film career," "if Reserve Marines were prohibited from doing porn when not in a drilling status," and "how the current 'don't ask, don't tell' policy might apply.

On March 2, 2007, Sanchez was awarded the Jeane Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). A featured speaker at the conference, Ann Coulter, made controversial remarks at the event, indirectly referring to presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot". In an article for Salon.com, Sanchez discussed how a photograph of him taken at the conference with Coulter brought him to the attention of bloggers, one of whom recognized him as a former pornographic gay film star. In the same article, Sanchez stated that bloggers had compared him to Rich Merritt, author of Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star, and Jeff Gannon, a conservative journalist who was outed as a gay escort.

as Rod Majors

In a 2007 interview, Sanchez commented that "I don't like porn, it reduces the mind, flattens the soul" and that he considers his pornographic career an identity outgrown.

1974 – The Greek letter lambda was officially declared the international symbol for gay and lesbian rights by the International Gay Rights Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland. The lambda was selected as a symbol by the Gay Activists Alliance of New York in 1970.

1976 – In Florida, Willard Allen was released from a mental hospital 26 years after he was ordered by a judge to be held there for having sex with another man. His doctors had been recommending his release for almost 20 years.

1999 – Lavender Country was an American country music band formed in 1972, whose self-titled 1973 album is the first known gay-themed album in country music history. Based inSeattle, the band consisted of lead singer and guitarist Patrick Haggerty, keyboardist Michael Carr, singer and fiddler Eve Morris and guitarist Robert Hammerstrom (the only heterosexual member).

Er begann seine Karriere als Hausmeister bei Columbia Records in Nashville, nachdem er die Armee verlassen hatte und beschlossen hatte, eine Musikerkarriere zu verfolgen. Dieser Job war einer von mehreren Gelegenheitsjobs, die er annahm, um sich finanziell über Wasser zu halten, während er versuchte, als Songwriter Fuß zu fassen. Als Hausmeister bei Columbia Records hatte Kristofferson die Aufgabe, »Aschenbecher zu leeren und Böden zu kehren«, wie er es selbst beschrieb.

Protecting Suboxone (Respiradone)

In the 1960s, waves of a new revolution were sweeping over Los Angeles.

The 1950s saw the takeover of Los Angeles, by the Foreign Office, MI-6, on the diamond bet between Hughes and Nimitz, Charlebois and MacArthur.

A straight Marine, "Gay Ray", and a gay general, "General Doug".

It was either the Yakuza's Japan, an entire nation of textbooks voting for Adolf Hitler, or a movie fan audience under DARE, gateway drug theory.

Hiroshima happened, Home Depot and the Hayes family came, and now the chiseler wrench, was the screw wrench.

Ray won, with his sword tattoo on a globe, reading "Avid Lamsa", Greedy Fly. Not "Semper Fi", China Town.

An elite RTS counselor, Charles Manson, had been force requisitioned through the Los Angeles Police Department, for MI-6; the architect of the Vietnam War, for Senator Kennedy.

They took his cock and balls, while he was trying to free Sharon Tate from Jewish psychiatric ardour; taken off the streets, for smoking a beedy, a cigarette in rolling paper, not marijuana, and having been induced to suck off Roman Polanski in his sleep, hypoxia; a conversion to Islam, invented by Aisha, the Jewess.

An underage girl, tormenting a marijuana dealer, Muhammad, into obscene rages, at why everyone thought he was living with an underage girl whose parents had given her marijuana.

But Charles Manson, had lost his erection, to modern pharmaceuticals.

Even Charlie and Sharon working together, to print "Frank Zappa", her lyrics, and his comic writing, "Batman 1966", based on Superman's logic, could not save the pair, at love at longest sight.

The Los Angeles Police Department was cracking down, so they sent Kennedy's elite soldier, ZODIAC, "Willie the Pimp" in Frank Zappa's music; "Bobby McGee", of Janis Joplin fame, Steve Charlebois, the special monitor on the situation deployed by "Gay Ray", his father.

Steven Charlebois had to suck the Sheriff's dick, John Wayne Gacy Jr., coming back home.

But little victories are rare, in law enforcement; however, in intelligence, they are guaranteed.

The Saud Malay connection, under USMC terms, had been severed, defeating Adolf Hitler forever, leading to decades of detention slips and military intelligence soldiers, Adolf Hitler swiftly kicked on his boot on his car, from America and his "wheel", the Ace Five straight.

In 2003, Megan Dalee, a Hopkinton Highschool graduate, had developed "Suboxone"; a cover, as Fentanyl or heroin poisoning as a recovery, actually "Respiradone"; rumored to be chemical castration.

Emancipated from her parents, with the new invention, a potato needle, the erection and semen were sustained, however amphetamines damage to the male fixation was undone, and the same product staple through her patents degree, remained on the product.

But that's the new story, of "Chet".

Where did "Mini-Peebo" go, your old friend, "Quinton Reed"?

We had to scramble dozens of MI-6 Mossad operatives, hunting Megan Dalee, emancipated from her parents for the service contract for Respiradone.

Hunkered down, inside her little Orchard Hill dormitory room, at UMass-Amherst, with Jewish patent thieves out of England and the Anglicans, trying to seize her, for a prostitution's debt, to control the patent outside her law degree.

Naturally, David Charlebois, had to take action.

"Affirmative Blacktion".

David Charlebois, a Nazi, knew when the white man had betrayed him; it was time to take his secret weapon out, "Gay Niggers From Outer Space".

It was time to elect Barack Obama, and eliminate Scott Peterson's police selection, and the Coen Brothers, the Nutsies, Adolf Hitler.

And so it he did, with Rich Coughlin, Jenna Williamson, Brian Monaghan, Daniel Cheeseman, Joshua Moen, Andrew Donson, Ryan Cunningham, Chris Sweeney, Justin Walsh, Ivan Tomasic, Matthew Lennox, Allison Haimes, and Nicholas Maynard, wiped off the ground.

When he got his Medal of Honor, he was ordered to report the proper condition of any American spy, "paranoid schizophrenia".

He had seen a house wife, on time share, "a Nun".

And as for "The Beans", the cigarettes, he wanted to get back home for them regularly. If the Medal of Honor, got diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, an American spy (hospital, not corrections), it would all be reversed, and pot bust pimping would return.

The Yakuza.

When The “Summer of Love” Took Over San Francisco, California

Looking back on the counterculture moment that briefly went mainstream.

— Published: August 3, 2021 | Kirstin Butler

A giant game of world hackysack, anyone? Participants at a summer solstice celebration in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park keep a large ball, painted to represent a globe, in the air, June 21, 1967. AP Photo

The seeds of San Francisco’s “Summer of Love” were planted the previous winter. On January 14, 1967, more than 20,000 people gathered in Golden Gate Park for the “Human Be-In,” an event organized by a coalition of local artists and activists. Counterculture celebrities Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary addressed the crowd, with the latter exhorting the participants to “turn on, tune in, drop out.” Attendees swayed to performances by the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and Jefferson Airplane.

The “Be-In” attracted widespread media coverage, and thousands of young people flooded into the city over the next months. In February, a Newsweek article called the scene “a psychedelic picnic” that hoped to transform the world “by means of a vague regimen of all-embracing love.” New arrivals met a heady admixture of utopian philosophy, sexual revolution and abundant drugs. That April, a site-seeing company began running “Hippie Hop” buses down Haight Street, calling the route “the only foreign tour in the domestic United States.”

At dawn on June 21, another enormous crowd gathered to usher in the official start to the season with a summer solstice celebration at Golden Gate Park. But even as the “Summer of Love” formally commenced, the scene had already started to spoil. By July, San Francisco was overwhelmed with the new influx of visitors, including a burgeoning population of teenage runaways. And the district’s latest occupants brought a harder edge. TIME noted that “[m]ost of them—perhaps 80%—are steadily high on drugs ranging from LSD to such synthetic stimulants as Methedrine, Dexedrine and Benzedrine, which are known collectively as ‘speed.’” The siren song that took over top-40 radio that summer, Scott McKenzie’s “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair),” proved to be a death knell, and by the fall, many of the summertime pilgrims returned home. On October 6, members of the district’s remaining counterculture community, tired of the commercialization and publicity of their alternative lifestyle, marched along Haight Street for a “death of hippie” funeral service. Written on the side of their faux coffin was the phrase “Hippie, Son of Media.”

“I was always leaving. Every time I left, I had a different hair colour, and I would be standing on the porch saying goodbye to the older couple in the living room. I didn’t have anything in common with them except that we shared a few inherited chromosomes, the identical last night name and the same bathroom … at this point it would dawn on me there was another problem. Not only was I an alien to my parents, but I was an alien to my friends.” From the book Garden of Ashes (1990) by Cookie Mueller

“Cookie looked like Janis Joplin-meets-Jayne Mansfield, a redneck hippie with a little bit of glamour drag thrown in. She never led a safe life, unsafe was her middle name. She lived on the edge, always.” John Waters on Cookie Mueller.

“Cookie Mueller was a punk when it still meant someone who was raped in prison.” John Waters on Cookie Mueller

Died on this day thirty-five years ago: definitive Baltimore bad girl Cookie Mueller (2 March 1949 – 10 November 1989). The smoky-eyed and vivacious underground actress (she’s a charismatic presence in early John Waters films like Multiple Maniacs (1970), Pink Flamingos (1972) and Female Trouble (1974)), go-go dancer, globe-trotter, advice columnist, art critic, drug dealer, New York scene-maker, eyeliner role model, muse to photographer Nan Goldin (who described Mueller as “the most fabulous woman I’d ever seen”) and authoress of autobiographical volumes like Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black and Garden of Ashes died of AIDS-related complications aged just 40. (As well as Mueller’s own musings, I’d recommend Chloe Griffin’s excellent 2014 biography Edgewise: A Picture of Cookie Mueller). Portrait by Bob Berg.

“When his work was done, Castiel flew. He went to Bangladesh. Greenland.

Argentina. He circled the globe tracing the Equator, then again following the Prime Meridian. He dallied on the shores of islands”

men had never discovered. He perched on the awning overhanging a crowded train station in India. He just flew, and it felt incredible. A weight was lifted and his wings freed of their shackles. He flew so far so fast he thought he’d outrace the universe, slip past the pace of existence and burst into whatever lay beyond.

It was exhilarating, invigorating… freeing.”

Excerpt From

This first time Castiel returned to Heaven since he rebelled felt very… awkward
