Song lyrics from the Ziggy Stardust file

“If you’re standing on my toes I have the right to shout you down”

“A cop nelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that”

“A plague seems quite reasonable- - or maybe a war- - or I may kill you all”

“God knows I’m good. God may look the other way today”

“The sun machine is coming down and we’re gona have a party”

“I would rather be with All The Mad Men – then perish with the sane men roaming free”

“And these children that you spit on –are quite aware of what they’re going through”

“The only survivor of the National Peoples’ Gang”

“I’ve Got things inside myself that even I can’t face”

“Let the children use it; let the children loose it; let all the children boogy!”

“Someone to rule us, someone to fool us, someone like You”

“I’ve Prepaired a document leagelizing mass abortions.
We will turn a blind eye to infanticide”

“I thought you died alone- - a long, long, time ago”

“When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band”

“You’ve got your mother in a whirl; she doesn’t know if you’re a boy or a girl”

“I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor, drinking milk shakes cool and long. Smiling and waving and looking so fine- bet you didn’t know you were in this song”

“Our love comes from above”

On the subject of meanness Anne Coulter’s name came up today. What she does with the widows of the Iraq War is about ninety percent mean. I wouldn’t do it. What Jesus Christ did referring to possible child molesters among the heroic firemen of 9 – 11 is one hundred percent mean. It is beyond the pale. I know of a man who used to like to compare himself to General Patton. General Patton used to use salty language and make remarks like “Hell, I don’t want my men to die for my country- - their job is to make the other son of a bitch die for his”. That’s coarse language with a purpose. But there used to be a man who got his rocks off seeing how obscene he could be in word and in deed, before the Christian community. And you can rest assured he never thought twice about the sort of “Witness” he was providing. There are times I’ve thought that some of my words weren’t “The sort of words a Focus Group would advise me to use”. My thing is to look not at the style of the words but what’s in the heart. Some pastors can use words very stealthfully and cleaverly- - yet in their hearts is utter blackness. (Selah) It’s a fact that some people can “get away with” saying and doing just about anything- - be it corporate fraud or plannine a war- - or making an illegal real estate deal resulting in major pollution. It just dawned on me that Evil has its own momentum and forward karma just as good does. If it didn’t Adolph Hitler would never have prospered. There is one thing about Evil and that is you can’t count on it spending itself and being arrested spontaneously. How long did the Christian church plunge the world into the Dark Ages? People like Chelsea are literally being “taught” to be Evil because certain people think that evil should be rewarded and they call it “Grace”. A person who says “We’re all sinners” is a man who doesn’t believe in accountability for anyone. When Charles Manson says “Society as a whole committed the murders”, we must step up and say “No- -YOU committed the murders”. When Jesus Christ says we all crucified him- - it’s our job to shut Jesus up till he starts speaking rationally. Evil people have an unusual amount of faith in Themselves. He who says that Faith is “The substance of those things we hope for” is a liar. No. That isn’t faith. Faith is loving the people who deserve love, and putting a stop to Evil whenever and wherever we find it- - - and I quote “Abstain from every form of evil”. People who don’t Judge the evil one are his accomplices. It has been said “Whatever isn’t of Faith is sin” but I say unto you, “If a person isn’t sinning, it’s probably because he’s doing nothing at all”. Sin is not evil in itself. Sin is not evil and Evil is not sin. Evil is deliberate and volitional and focused. I don’t know if Anne Coulter is “Evil” but after I read her book I just might have the answer. (Selah)

Today is June 7th. On this date, June 7th. 1971, it was on a dreary Monday afternoon, in a taped speech for the first time I used the term "Jesus Freaks" in a commentary of mine. I had resisted using the term up till then. I think I had just about "had enough" from my fundamentelest Christian friends. I remember my brother was boating with some richer people from Huntington Harbor the previous weekend and I was mad because I didn't get to go. It was about this time that my other brother played for me the album "Broken Baracades" by Procol Herem, and the title song was supposidly "about the Rapture", which at that time I had never heard of. This whole idea of a "rapture" of carrying off the "Elect" into Heaven while the rest of the planet went through some sort of great tribulation- - only dates to the latter part of the ninteenth century. It has no part of Classic Christian teaching. If I have it right the doctrine of the rapture was concocted by a guy named Darvey, and he was an offshoot of the Millerites. The Millerites were the group who predicted the world would come to an end in 1844. When it didn't they had to come up with another doctrine, hence the rapture was born.

NEWS DIGEST

Well, there are more deaths occurring in Iraq all the time and evidence of an all out Civil War is more than obvious now. We just have to decide what date we're going to pull out. * Now Bush is negotiating with the government of Iran. He didn't want to do that with Iraq, but now with Iran I guess President Bush doesn't want to engage in two major Wars at once. According to Ken Galliger, negotiating with Iran is the worst thing we could do because we're "Just giving them time to finish constructing their nucliar bomb". That is a thought. * Some terrorists were arrested in Canada with plans to blow up a lot of stuff. * Steve Wessley lost to Phill Angeletes in the California governor's race. I guess they want a candidate who's less than "green" and suddenly a little pollution isn't so bad. Swartzenegger will demolish Angeletes in November. * We've all heard the news that Brittany Speers has given up her Kabbala. Now she says, "My baby is my religion". That's kind of a scarey thought if it's true. There are some people who teach that the antichrist "Will not regard the desire of women". I always thought this meant the antichrist would be a homosexual, but the "experts" say what this means is that every woman in Israel desired to be the mother of the Messiah, and so every mother with a new born son was thinking in her mind, "This child could be the Messiah".

PORNOGRAPHIC PRIESTESS

I don't know if anyone has put forth the proposition that the antichrist could be a woman but I have a candidate for the job. Yesterday I was doing research and used a hitherto unused search method and got results I never got before. Did you know that Christianity has suffered the equivelent of a Nucliar Attack in the spirit realm and nobody has reported it. If the Da Vinci Code secret is equivelent to a 3.1 on the rictor scale- - the thing I'm talking about is equivelent to a 9.9 on the rictor scale. I'm talking about a "Christian" who is so evil and depraved I had to make sure he was actually dead now. Since this mystery individual of mine is and has been routinely ignored by the media I only heard about his death (prior to yesterday) from once source, Paul Harvey, one fleeting time. I had to "stand over his grave and make sure he's dead". So you're wondering where the whole Pornographic Priestess thing comes in. Prior to yesterday my knowledge of this individual kind of faded out about 1999 or 2000. In the late 1990's I had three candidates for Antichrist. Willy Brown, Bill Handel, and this mystory individual. I say Christianity has suffered a Nuclear Attack of the spirit because the entire Christian Church is covering up for this "greatest teacher of our time" and not saying word one about his evil deeds. Never let it be said Christians don't protect their own, even if it ammounts to spiritual suicide. I'd like to think he's dead rotting in his grave now. First of all "Teresa Crane" is still "In the World" but she ain't giving no interviews to nobody. You know, if you're evil enough your evil can influence people even beyond the grave, and that is the case with this individual, like I say with the Pornographic Pristess, whom we code name "Teresa Crane" at the helm. We're going to say more about this but first I'd like to do a little song lyric written vaguely to the tune of "Who's Driving Your Plane" by the Rolling Stones.

Well you know you do your Preaching -

- With your pornographic teaching

And the go go girls are driving me Insane

And your perevacated Gospell - - Just as riddled as a waffel

Just like spikes boring into my brain

And your mis applicated constructs

And your Reverential con sucks!

And you do it just for monitary Gain!

But who's feeding your brain

Is Satan feeding your brain

Is there anything in your brain

I wanna know - who's feeding your brain

Is it some Hollywood bimbo lover

Or the ghost of your Mother

Or is it all just Completely Insane!

Well you're singing your songs - and enthralling the throngs

with things of which there'll never be Proof!

Well you talk about trust –

- while grinding our bodies into the dust

Just once- - can't you ever speak the Truth - !

Is your "Holy Seed dispersion" - - - from an actual living Person

Or just a "confederated" myth of John Wilkes booth?

Well who's feeding your brain

Who's feeding your brain

Who's jiving your brain

Who's - draining your brain

Well, is it something from reality

or just some Holy "Ghost"

Like something just uh creeping Under-Ground!

Well somewhere back on the Istmas - - [He] is thinking about Christmas

To him it always reminds him of of Elvis

You know he really'd like to nail her

Like Private Elvis is back in the trailer

With a shrine dedicated to his mother's pelvis

On Saturday Night he goes to town - - and the passes are painted brown

But I'm wondering - - - yes I'm really wondering

Who's feeding your brain

I said- - Who's feeding your brain

Who's pickeling your brain

Who's drugging your brain

Well I saw your girlfriend, Anita

while she was eating a Peta

And she says you have really gone In-Sane!

Today is Tuesday 06-06-06. They say it's the date of a melinium. The thing is they're always coming up with dates we won't see in a long time. I remember how they were saying that the date November 29th. 1999 was a unique date because it's the last time in over a thousand years we would see all odd digits. And then there was 9-8-76, which was the last time we would see all declining single digits in a long time. Of course The Omen remake is being released today but Lord knows why they did a re-make since the original was such a masterpiece. I remember when me and one of my brothers saw it in a theater in July of 1976. He felt so "oppressed" he had to leave, and waited in the car. A roommate of ours Larry Lawsen had recommended it. He said it contained Christian witness because the priest said the line "You must partake of the flesh of Christ and drink his blood". The Omen is kind of a movie "meant" for those superstitious seventies. Both religion and psychic stuff as well as "After Death" experiances were held in a lot higher regard thirty years ago than they are now. I remember our church minister commenting on how depraved "The Omen" was. You see back then people thought the rapture or "Second Coming of Christ" or whatever would occur in 1982 when there was a con-junction of all the planets. (Astrology was also held in a lot higher regard back then) Nobody doubted it would happen. Of course on Sept 1st. 1977 Chuck Smith made the prediction at Calvary Chapel that "The Tribulation" would begin on September 24th. 1977 or just a couple of weeks from then. But releasing a movie like The Omen now makes no sence because the public hasn't been "primed" to listen to the propaganda. That's my oppinion.

A lot has changed in thirty years. The Anaheim Mall was just newly completed in 1976. That is, it was an all covered-over mall. But as you know after 1992 they tore it down and put up those garish looking "amusement park ride" color buildings in its place. The rate at which they put up buildings and almost as quickly blow them up never ceases to amaze me. Oddly, Cypress College was "not finished" in 1976 and so they put up temporary railings on their massive concrete upper walk ways- - to be completed at a later date. Guess what? They have not put up a single new building since 1976. Back in the fall of 1976 I was attending some socialogy class or something and they showed a VCR tape on TV (relatively new in those days) and on that tape they made the starteling announcement that the median price of a home in Orange County was now eighty thousand dollars. The median line was the Newport Freeway. Everything to one side was cheaper and everything on the other side was more expensive. Of course now you know what people mean when they say "South County". "South" was alltogether different in those days. Back then places such as Tustin, Huntington Beach, or Costa Mesa qualified as "South County". One time we were with a friend of ours named John, who put up houses for a living. And we were touring one of the new tracts in Laguna Niguel. Back then it was out in the middle of nowhere- - but that Zigarat building thing was still there, in the valley. Back in 1976 they had the Susan B Anthony dollar nobody used. I don't know why. There was a roomer prior to 1976 that the coin was a gigantic conspiricy to raise the price of a sandwich in a vending machine to one dollar. Of course they ran KFC adds ("Fried" wasn't a dirty word then) that said "Corn and cluck for under a buck" and Mac Donalds had one "Get a Big Mack, fries and Coke and get change back from your dollar". Actually the Susan B Anthony "dollar" would be worth about four of the Sacaguia (?) dollars of today. Today's coin dollar would only have been worth about a quarter in 1976. I never voted for Jimmy Carter. I didn't vote for him in June 8th. (?) primary, and I voted for Ford in the general election. Something to me seemed a little fake or wishy-washy about Jimmy Carter.

It was a day or two after that June primary election that Charlie L. died of a drug overdose. I remember Larry Lawsen making light of it saying "Cheer up. The sun is shining, the corn is high and the birds are singing". (We were actually growing corn in the back yard then) Back then all the "Marinotha" or "Christian" music sounded like the Eagles or Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Back then disco was the devil's music. Back then it was shiek to be for Jimmy Carter because he was a "Christian" who was running for office. But in general it wasn't "shiek" to be political much at all. Christians were "above petty politics". How different things are today where George Bush, clinging to a political life preserver, is reaching out for the Christian right vote on areas such as gay marriage and flag burning.

Of course back in the mid seventies like 1974, 1075, or 1976 I was still using almost entirely reel to reel tape. One of my brothers had an expensive sound system in his trailer and I thought it silly that you would treat a cassette as a high fadelity tape because it clearly didn't sound as good. Back in the mid seventies of course they had "Quad" or quadraphonic. They had two types. They had descrete, and something called "SQ" that Columbia put out. One time my brother was playing "Third Degree" by West Bruce & Lang in quad- - - and I remember it was a longer fade-out on the end part than on the regular version. I remember Mike Mc Kinnon one of these times saying how much greated "Yes" was than "Emerson Lake and Palmer". Hey- - do you want an old myth demolished? Remember how the Beatles have "Revolution One" and supposidly the "slow version" was the first version they recorded and then George Martin or somebody convinced them to speed it up and put out a faster version. Well, that's a myth. Because one of the very earliest demos of the song recorded in George Harrison's livingroom back in the spring of 1968 and it was a recording of the song- played fast- where they were just then coming up with the lyrics to the song. My uncle used to have a joke saying "I never let the Truth get in the way of a good story". Next we'll learn that Marcion had the "origional" version of the gospell of Luke and it's the Church that changed it - not visa versa.

Just think how old anyone who was alive in 1976 has to be now. For a woman to even admit to being alive then is admitting a lot. I think life was better back then. There were no cell phones to constantly interrupt you. They had no personal computers. The only computer you could even posess in 1976 was an Apple I that you built yourself from a kit. Back then you could actually watch basketball playoffs in free TV, unlike today. Back then Monday Night Football was actually on free TV. In fact it wasn't all that long ago that Cable was considered some kind of a commie conspiracy- - and Free TV was as American as Apple Pie. Back then you didn't have to go broke in order to buy a home. Since 1973 the wage earning power of the US worker has steadily dropped. 1976 was indeed "The good old days". The rich wern't as rich then but there was more for the rest of us. Tax rates for the rich were 70%. Sports figures and CEO's wern't paid nearly as much but people had more of a heart. Service was more personal and people were definitely more polite. It's something to think about on this six-six-six day.

As the song says, "The Times They Are A Changing". Back in the fall of 1969 the Jefferson Airplane was singing about the young generation in the song "Volenteers" when in fact Grace Slick herself was already close to turning that dread age of thirty. Now we have another generational situation arising over this proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. This one to me would seem like a slam dunk. Why is in favor of gay marriage? If you listen to FOX news, it turns out anyone under forty seems to favor gay marriage and would vote against this constitutional amendment. It's hard to believe but gay marriage is seen in the same light as interracial marriage was forty years ago. It's something that conservatives were against but "enlightened" Americans were all for. It could be that forty years from now gay marriage, between two women or two men, will be as accepted as interracial marriage is today. The times they are a changing. It would seem that the era of conservative republicans in the White House, an era which began in 1969 is now coming to an end. I think George Bush has slipped to 29% approval rating in the nation-wide polls and is now 28% in the field poll in California. I think the only other president to sink that low was Richard Nixon the week before he resigned. It seems that no matter what George Bush does to bolster his ratings, it backfires. He wants a flag burning amandment. Congress will be debating both flag burning and the gay marriage thing in the next few weeks. Many liberals consider both of these pursuits a waste of time. If the majority of Americans come to believe it's a waste of time it could bode badly for the Republicans in November.

Immigration may be another area where conservatives on the right are fighting a losing battle. They used to have about five hundred aliens storm the gates near San Diego all at once knowing they couldn't catch all of them. This was an embarrasment to the Clinton adminestration and so now they have all the major cities fences off and the aliens have to trek through the desert and about 540 have died out there in the past year. And when they tried to round up illegal aliens in Iowa at a meat packing plant they drove the plant out of business and neighboring state Nebraska said to the feds, "Don't impose your rules in our state". This illegal aliens problem may have advanced to the state where nothing can be done about it.

Of course now Bush is doing these "signing statement" adendums to bills. That means he won't veto a bill; he'll sign it but he'll also write out a provision as to what he think the bill actually means. So when torture of POW's is banned, Bush will simply exempt himself. Just recently the pentagon deleted some language from an army manual having to do with humane treatment of POW's. Now I guess you're free to torture. Bush has done more of these signing addendums to bills- - twice as many as all other presidents of the US combined. I guess the trend began under Ronald Reagan but has gotten worse and worse over the years. Now the Bush adminestration is refusing to prosecute doctors who illegally give out information about their patients violating the doctor-patient confidence. I think what the next Democrat needs to do is just point to the constitution and say "These are our guidelines and they won't be violated". Just say "We won't have secret torture. We won't hold people illegally without charging them, and we won't wiretap without a warrent". Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

The Iraq War is coming along miserably now. Clearly we are in an escalating Civil War and are unable to stop it- - even if we had twice as many troops. Clearly the government is not as stable as I, for one, thought it was. Things are not "stabelizing" but constantly getting worse. The violence is escalating and spreading to other areas. Basically the Iraq War has been the centerpiece of the eight year Bush adminestration. As John Kerry says, "It's not a record to run on; it's a record to run from". You can "think good thoughts" but reporters are still getting killed. I would personally like to say to the leader of Iran, "The President's popularity in this country has nothing to do with the morality of what you're doing over there". It would be really nice if we got more moral support from Europe, but of course we won't.

I still haven't seen "An Inconvienient Truth" but two of the most shocking scenes are that "The snows of Mt. Killemonjero" are all but disappeared now. Also there is a glature in southern Argentina that has all but melted now, like a Simpson's cartoon. When the ten hottest years of all time are within the last fourteen years, it's hard to argue that Global Warming is not taking place. But of course Conservatives do. They won't admit they're wrong because this is too much of a sacred issue with them. It's one of the corner stones of their Belief system. "Industry is good; Government regulation is bad". My only complaint is that I looked up the movie schedule in this area on the internet and I didn't see the Gore movie listed anywhere.

Christianity too is changing with the times. Billy Graham is likely to kick the bucket any day now and Franklin Graham doesn't have the carisma of his father to attract new people. These Billy Graham crusades have turned into news magazines talking about world events. You have to water the gospell down to make it pallitable to today's pallette. Religion should be, I suppose like fine wine. It contains alcohol, yes, but it also contains the juice of the grape. I am like a person who has drunk of the straight distilled religion and it's not palletable. Religion was never meant to be drunk straight. I suppose pure distilled religion would be the Jesus Christ show on KFI. Religion being drudgery, tedious, boring, and without inspiration. I look at role models and I would not care to model my actions after any Born Again pastor. Some may say "Well, you can both fellowship in the idea you both hate gays". That's not true. First of all I don't hate gays- - it's just that gayness profanes the whole concept of marriage. Although in my case it might as well have been "Adam and Steve" and not "Adam and Eve" because my experiance is "dating the opposit sex" is kind of a "gateway sin" that leads to worse sins, in the same way that marijuana is a gateway drug. Just a few months ago I expressed intrest in a Christian female and her response was "I don't date". Unless God told you she's the one you're destined to marry, about all romantic contact with the opposit sex is outside their law. The only way to make a Christian pastor happy if you're single is to be utterly asexual. But like I say I would not even want to pattern my life after these shallow, frightened, neurotic, pathetic people. I have seen no role model for myself in the church.

It is said the reason why we need blood atonement for our sins is because we have all sinned ans "come short of the glory of God" I don't know anyone on the planet who remained a Christian for as long as I did with so little in return. If I don't have the "faith" to believe- - nobody does. Faith in the first place is "The substance of things hoped for". I don't have this. Some say "No, faith is being trustworthy and faithful to a relationship you have with someone". The trouble is there is no "evidence" that God and I have ever had a "relationship" Shockingly I could not model myself after Jesus Christ, either. Jesus did not become God because he was perfect, he was ruled perfect because he was already declaired God. I believe in the golden rule. If Jesus believed in it too he would physically heal everyone in the world of their deseases and malodies. This hasn't happened. Jesus felt free to openly criticize religious people in high places in a way you or I would never dream of doing making all sorts of accusations against them. If you or I were today to engage in the same behavior as Jesus did we'd be locked up, perhaps in a psycho ward. Jesus lived thirty years in an ordenary life minding his own business. I didn't do that because I became a Christian at age twenty-five. Jesus didn't have to worry about whether or not to "become a Christian". Think about that. But significantly, and I picked up on this about fifteen years ago- there's one thing we humans do that Jesus never did in the Bible, and that is to follow orders or directions. Many of us are told "shut up" "get in line" "stand over there" "show respect" or whatever. Jesus being God had the unique life of being the center of his own world and didn't have to "humble" himself to anybody. But just think- - for the first thirty years Jesus had an ideal life and he had one without having to become a Christian. I find that fact just totally trippy.

Not only on the subject of gay marriage but also on religion in general- - I suspect there is a great devide between those over and those under forty. I'll reming you that in no "future scenario" in any movie that I am aware of does Christianity even exist. Either everybody is wrong, or everyone is "seeing the obvious". (Selah)
