Alien Lore 75: They're here. They're hostile. And powerful people don't want you to know.

In my booklet, Dark Skies is the greatest television show ever created, and it's tragic it did not survive its first season. The creators, Bryce Zabel and Brent V. Friedman, plotted a fantastic five year story arc that encompassed history from 65 million years B.C., to the present day. The show begins in 1947, during the Truman administration, when America was invaded by the hive, in the form of Greys. An alien (hive) invasion takes place right beneath our noses.



The story begins with JFK's assassination for planning to tell the nation the truth about UFOs if he was re-elected to a second term. From there, it gets stranger and kookier and more and more eerie. One of the hallmarks of the show was using bits of real life and real people as part of the story. You meet people like John Lennon, Timothy Leary, Dorothy Killgallen, Bobby Kennedy, Jack Ruby, Jim Morrison, William Paley, Hubert Humphrey, Truman, and many many more.

If you would like to see this series, you'll have to borrow my bootleg DVDs, or wait until Sony decides to release them. I don't like to buy bootlegs, and I will indeed buy the legit ones. . .if Sony comes to their senses (not likely considering their PS/3 strategy). You can find the boots, which are not bad--roughly VHS quality--on EBay.

Bryce Zabel has an interesting blog--For What It's Worth "dispatches from the culture war"--where he focuses on a lot of interesting pop culture sidebars. I like this guy a lot. He's smart, he wrote a nice piece about his dad on Father's Day, and he created a great TV show in a vast desert of drek.

Penis-pumping Judge finally goes to trial

"Serving on the jury in an indecent-exposure trial unfolding in this conservative Oklahoma town has been a giggle-inducing experience. "

"Former Judge Donald D. Thompson, a veteran of 23 years on the bench, is on trial on charges he used a penis pump on himself in the courtroom while sitting in judgment of others. "

Click here to link to the entire lurid Associated Press story.

Thompson's former court reporter, Lisa Foster, in a bizarre chunk of testimony said that she heard the pump during the emotional testimony of a murdered toddler's grandfather.

This strange story hit the wires a couple of years ago, and the judge is now finally on trial. Judge Thompson just didn't seem to understand that this is why we give them Judge's chambers.

Flag burning amendment up in smoke

On Tuesday, the Senate failed by one vote to approve a constitutional amendment prohibiting flag burning. The House, of course, passed the measure, like they did in 2000. The last time these knuckleheads tried to pass the law, they lost by four votes in The Senate. Obviously the Republicans are looking for another hot-button issue to motivate their "base" to vote in this fall's elections.

Would you like to burn a virtual flag? Go here.

The ritualized burning of the American flag is considered the appropriate way to dispose of a damaged or soiled flag. According to The Flag Burning Page, "the American Legion and Boy Scouts burn thousands of flags every year in respectful retirement ceremonies". A picture of a (permitted) flag burning cermony appears below.

And yet, and yet. . .flag burning is a conundrum. You can burn a flag respectfully; you cannot burn a flag at a protest. To enforce this law, you will somehow need to suss out the motive of the burner. Is it OK to burn a flag if you're wearing a VFW jacket but not if you're wearing a Dead Kennedy's t-shirt? Are there loopholes in the law? Will people quit burning flags and begin urinating on them?

I think of myself as a patriot, and yet, I find flag burning amusing, mainly because it is always funny when a symbolic act triggers such vitriolic responses in folks. And, after all, why should The Vets have all the fun?

Lyrics to Yes We Can Can by Alan Toussaint:

The lyrics to Yes We Can Can by Alan Toussaint:


Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Just remember you all have mothers
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can

Take care of the children
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls

Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can

Photograph: LBJ agonizing over the Vietnam War

. . . .Click photograph to enlarge. . . .

One of the focuses of this blog over the last two years has been, along with aliens, alien lore, and UFOs (not so popular with the readership, these Grey/Alien articles), The Presidency, art, politics, poems, parody, Americana, history, and, over time, a lot about LBJ. In this classic photograph, President Lyndon B. Johnson listens to a tape sent by Captain Charles Robb from Vietnam in July 1968. Charles was his son-in-law who was serving in the Vietnam War.

We don't see the bellicose statesman, but an agonized father-in-law who happened to be the wartime commander in chief. LBJ slumps over in a chair in the Cabinet Room as a reel-to-reel tape recorder plays a recording by Captain Robb. "When I left for Vietnam," he explained, "the president gave me a small battery-operated tape recorder ... so that I could send Lynda occasional recordings. I think [those tapes] gave him some of the texture of the war at company levels."
Some other recent LBJ photos from All This Is That:

LBJ and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King meet up
LBJ howls like a dog
Another good LBJ photo
And another. . .

Elvis Costello and the Presidential action figure

. . .click cartoon to enlarge. . .

Elvis Costello lampooned The President at the concert last night, mainly for his Hurricane Katrina response. . .the reason this band got together in the first place. In fact, on center stage, was a five inch Bush action figure that Elvis called "life-sized."

This reminded me of David Rees's great cartoon on the Administratin and Katrina.

Rock show of the year (so far):::::::Elvis Costello & The Impostors with Allen Toussaint

Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint rocked the winery last night in Woodinville, Wash. You can read the story elsewhere--like http://elviscostello.com/ --but the collaboration was brought about by Hurricane Katrina.

Allen Toussaint, the New Orleans legend, has written tunes like "Working in the Coalmine", "Brickyard Blues", "Get Out My Life Woman" and "Everything I Do Gonna Be Funky". He's been covered and recorded by hundreds of people, including Devo, Jerry Garcia, Otis Redding, The Meters, and others, including dozens of samples snagged in various hip-hop songs.

The show included members of Toussaint's horn and rhythm section, along with Elvis's Impostors. The band opened with a thundering version of Nick Lowe's What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding? It included Toussaint tunes (my favorites Workin' In The Coal Mine, and his tune for the Pointer Sisters, Yes, We Can Can), collaborations from the just released Toussaint-Costello album, The River in Reverse, and lots of Costello chestnuts. Toussaint arranged nine songs from the Costello catalog, and they played many of them as well. The new arrangements of Clown Strike, Pump It Up, Clubland, Watching The Detectives, High Fidelity, and I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down were thoughtful, new, and they were sparkling and wonderful.

There were some crooners, but this was mainly a rock fest. Right before the show, I was trying to explain to my cousin Sean (whom I bumped into, along with his wife, Lori Mason Curran, a clerk I know at Tower Records, a sister- and brother-in- law, co-workers, Keelin's yoga instructor, and a Posies show buddy I've met at various venues) the difference between an Elvis crooning show and an Elvis electric show, and how I tended to avoid the croonfests. I knew this show would kick out the jams.

This was probably my favorite Elvis Costello show ever. I go into some of the others here: http://jackbrummet.blogspot.com/2005/09/favorite-rock-and-jazz-shows-1966-last.html

and here: http://jackbrummet.blogspot.com/2005/09/more-shows-ive-seen-over-years.html

My one beef with a lot of rock concerts I attend these days: 1) everyone is practically clean and sober (somewhat mitigated in this instance by many bottles of very good Ste. Michelle wines. Some blanket encampments seem to have purchased actual cases), and 2) everyone is seated. Since I came up in the rock festival world, and attended numerous Grateful Dead and CBGB shows, it just doesn't seem right to sit down! You need to be able to move to enjoy a show. I don't remember ever being seated at a Posies show, or any of the great Seattle Center shows I've seen over the years, and especially at a Dead show.

Fortunately, with Elvis's well-known half hour+ encores, we got the chance to stand up and shake our bones! Finally the audience got up, or, at least moved! And it was good. In that half hour encore (they returned three times), the band performed a cover of Fortune Teller, that you may know from The Rolling Stones' or The Who's covers. Wow! As it turns out, the tune was written by Naomi Neville (mom, sister? of the Nevilles, and The Meters) along with none other than Allen Toussaint)...

Poem (and drawing): Scarred for life

click drawing to enlarge


It could be watching
Your family being slowly diced up

By a madman with a machete
Or the time your brother let you down

A trauma from a car wreck
Or when you were wrongfully accused

Finding out your wife is sleeping
With your best friend

Or when your parents let you
Cry yourself to sleep 30 years ago

It could be your motorcycle accident
Or the time you saw your Uncle naked

Under a bad moon
It could leave you scarred for life.
