IS NOTHING SACRED? #2

Last week he had the dubious sex movies of Marilyn Monroe supposedly blowing some unseen male – possibly a dead Kennedy. This week we have "Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape." At least the alleged Marilyn video was supposed being kept under wraps and away from the public. The Hendrix sex tape, on the other hand, is being marketed by porn giant Vivid Entertainment. Obvious doubts have been raised as to whether this really in Jimi en flagrante or some piece of fakery. The expert witnesses called in were Pamela Des Barres and Cynthia Plastercaster, both who vouch for the clips authenticity. Click for the whole story.

According to legend Elvis Presley acquired himself a video cam just before his death and taped every thing that squirmed, writhed or whimpered. Will this be the next to emerge?

A FORTUITOUS SUICIDE?

As the news filters out about how “DC Madame” Deborah Jeane Palfrey hung herself at her mom’s house in Florida, I can’t stop the nagging doubt. Is this shit on the level? Okay so I’m a paranoid cynic with an unhealthy love for a good conspiracy, and yes, she was facing horrendous hard jail time, but her own reported words have an ominous ring. At various time Palfrey has repeated…

"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very life would be jeopardized, rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," And on another occasion, "No I'm not planning to commit suicide," and she added that she was “at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. If she was found dead it would be murder." "I'm planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government,"

AND THIS FOOL WANTS TO RACHET UP THE DRUG WAR

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has decided he wants to "send a message" to youngsters that smoking reefer "unacceptable". Previously Cannabis was downgraded to class C drug in the UK which made possession largely a non-arrestable offence. This, however, isn’t good enough for Brown, he claims he’s worried about the "more lethal" (lethal????) use of skunk - a strong form of the drug. Click for the full story. (Thanks Ed.)

DOC'S PAPERBACK CLASSIC'S # 40

“The lady below is totally correct. No one goes into space without lipstick.”

MY WHITE BICYCLE

It was, of course, a tune by the 1960’s band Tomorrow (for whom the dubious Twink played drums) but, much more important it was a scheme of the Dutch Provos by which white bicycles were left all over the city and were free for anyone to use, and then, having taken to the free ride, to leave for the next person needing no-cost transport. Sadly it was one of those great counter culture ideas that faded with the 1970s – and was also beset by an odd geographic entropy whereby the bicycles seemed to ultimately wind up in the outer suburbs of Amsterdam and have to be rounded up with great trouble and expense, which was hardly the original idea. The idea has, however, been resurrected in a number of European cities, and is proving particularly successful in Paris. Munz has sent a full report.

DOC'S PAPERBACK CLASSIC'S # 39

WHEN THE FOOD RUNS OUT

I still have not martialed my thoughts about the world wide food riots. All I can say is that it’s just another scene from the science fiction movie I have seen over and over. I also find it hard to not fly into a rage when I read that one of the multiple causes of the crisis – aside from the bloody oil barons and their controlling sheiks – is the corn to ethanol boondoggle in which more than a quarter of the last crop cycle was eaten up by this ineffective and criminally wasteful piece of greed. And this is not even to take into account endemic Western obesity. For relevant details read Daily Kos

"LIFE IS HELL AFTER ALL"

Our good friend Yukiko writes…
“Mishima wrote that the truth lies not in the sultry end of a mystic labyrinth sailing up a tropical river, but on a very plain surface of a dry hot rock under the sheer sunlight. The basic idea of the Buddhism is that life is hell after all, so, with the concept we can get along with anything. People live with their own sadness.”

DOC BACK -- FANS DELIGHTED

Doc40 fans gather, overjoyed that, after his recent lapse, the Old Doc is back on the blog. They can’t wait to see how he’s going to react to global food riots, and if he’ll manage to avoid somehow working in reference to how Solent Green is made from people.

NOTHING IS TOTALLY 100% ALL BAD

The poster sucked, the film sucked, but the credits by Saul Bass (with the cats) were truly fucking amazing for the 1962 movie “Walk On The Wild Side” with music by Elmer Bernstein.

Agent 00Soul has sent over this very comprehensive site from which you can download Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour. It may actually stay around since it would appear to have at least the tacit tolerance of XM Radio.
