Pete Seeger - A Good Communist Party Member
Who also happened to write a couple of decent songs and sang. He's best known these days for his folk songs (If I had a hammer, Where have all the flowers gone, etc) but for him totalitarian ideology always came first which is why over his lifetime he managed to support Hitler, Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, and Pol Pot.
In the "John Doe" album, Mr. Seeger accused FDR of being a warmongering fascist working for J.P. Morgan. He sang, "I hate war, and so does Eleanor, and we won't be safe till everybody's dead." Another song, to the tune of "Cripple Creek" and the sound of Mr. Seeger's galloping banjo, said, "Franklin D., Franklin D., You ain't a-gonna send us across the sea," and "Wendell Willkie and Franklin D., both agree on killing me."The film does not tell us what happened in 1941, when - two months after "John Doe" was released - Hitler broke his pact with Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union. As good communists, Mr. Seeger and his Almanac comrades withdrew the album from circulation, and asked those who had bought copies to return them. A little later, the Almanacs released a new album, with Mr. Seeger singing "Dear Mr. President," in which he acknowledges they didn't always agree in the past, but now says he is going to "turn in his banjo for something that makes more noise," i.e., a machine gun. As he says in the film, we had to put aside causes like unionism and civil rights to unite against Hitler.
For years, Mr. Seeger used to sing a song with a Yiddish group called "Hey Zhankoye," which helped spread the fiction that Stalin's USSR freed the Russian Jews by establishing Jewish collective farms in the Crimea. Singing such a song at the same time as Stalin was planning the obliteration of Soviet Jewry was disgraceful.
Why I Bought a House in Detroit For $500
I sorta have mixed feeling on what Drew Philips did - on one hand it's crazy as a young naïve white dude to buy a shell of house deep in a declining Detroit neighborhood and try to fix it up, but on the other hand I do admire his ambition and tenacity and see the spirit of the early American settlers in what he's accomplished.
One day Will and I rode past a white Queen Anne in Poletown on a quiet corner. Next to it sat two empty lots, plenty of space for a dog and a garden, a shed and a pond. The neighbors were friendly and kept their homes well-maintained, but there were four other abandoned houses on the block. The neighbors said the Queen Anne had been abandoned for a decade, simply left behind by the previous owner like a shredded tire on the highway, anything of value stolen long ago. It had a mangy wraparound porch and a big kitchen, but no chimney - I could build one of those - and the first time I cautiously walked inside, I knew it would be my home.
...I purchased the house in October 2009 at a live county auction for $500 cash. I was 23 years old.
I'm not certain I've accomplished anything other than taking one abandoned home off the street, teaching a few kids how to read, or bearing witness to a something larger than myself. I'm not certain I've become an example to anyone or necessarily changed a whole lot for the better. But I'm still here. I go to bed and I wake up every day in Detroit, in a house I built with my own hands. Sometimes success means just holding on.
As a friend who grew up in Poletown put it, "We want things to flourish, but we want them to have roots."
The Hot New Thing: Artisanal Toast
$4 a slice toast is at the tip of the hipster spear now but I'm afraid it will probably spread.
All the guy was doing was slicing inch-thick pieces of bread, putting them in a toaster, and spreading stuff on them. But what made me stare-blinking to attention in the middle of a workday morning as I waited in line at an unfamiliar cafe?-was the way he did it. He had the solemn intensity of a Ping-Pong player who keeps his game very close to the table: knees slightly bent, wrist flicking the butter knife back and forth, eyes suggesting a kind of flow state.
The coffee shop, called the Red Door, was a spare little operation tucked into the corner of a chic industrial-style art gallery and event space (clients include Facebook, Microsoft, Evernote, Google) in downtown San Francisco. There were just three employees working behind the counter: one making coffee, one taking orders, and the soulful guy making toast. In front of him, laid out in a neat row, were a few long Pullman loaves-the boxy Wonder Bread shape, like a train car, but recognizably handmade and freshly baked. And on the brief menu, toast was a standalone item-at $3 per slice.
Argentina Declares War on Amazon, Ebay, Internet Shopping
Every item bought online from a foreign website has a 50% import tax that must be paid in person at the customs office.
Individuals are allowed to buy items up to the value of $25 (£15) from abroad tax free every year, but it has been hard for custom officials to keep accurate records of consumers' transactions. Once the $25 level is reached, online shoppers in Argentina need to pay a 50% tax on each item bought from international websites.The government tightened the restrictions later on Wednesday limiting tax-free purchases to two a year.
One resident of Buenos Aires, who gave his name as Martin, described the tax as "crazy. . . . I lose half a day's work, which is unacceptable."
Meanwhile Argentina's president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, is in Cuba getting more economic advice from Castro.

How To Gain Lefty Approval of Your Marriage
Don't mention the Bible and convince them your lifestyle is some kind of kink.
This couple could very easily get all the lefties to stop criticizing and even to admire them. All they have to do is keep the Biblical quotations to themselves and just tell people they're really into BDSM, she's the M and he's the S, she really likes to be disciplined, he really enjoys disciplining her, and who are you to judge? They can be totally traditional in the privacy of their own home and totally transgressive in public. Win-win!" Or just say you're Muslim. Multiculturalism FTW.
Well this study seems to say no if you actually care about sales leads.
The results? They were great. The booth that was staffed with the booth babes generated a third of the foot traffic (as measured by conversations or demos with our reps) and less than half the leads (as measured by a badge swipe or a completed contact form) while the other team had a consistently packed booth that ultimately generated over 550 leads, over triple from the previous year.
Everyone on the team was genuinely surprised by the results but duly convinced.
Where I work we've only had booth babes one time and that was because our colleagues in Finland brought some Finnish college girls to a show to help out. They were cute but probably airheads we assumed - but when we quizzed them, it turned out they were quite sharp and the Finn engineers had trained them well enough that they could hold their own in technical questions for at least a minute or so. So in this case I think they were a benefit.

I think that's true. Cute girls that are knowledgeable will likely be good. It seems like this guy was conducting the difference of pure professionals vs. pure eye candy. Would it be different if the booth babes actually knew something and weren't just "ooo we're showing lots of skin come see."

Checking the wiki that's exactly what it is. He was also the first one that Bob's Big Boy franchised out to. And now is apparently a separate but co-equal owner of the Big Boy trademark with the Big Boy parent company. It seems much more confusing than the Carl's Jr./Hardees stuff.

I remember reading an interview with Stalinist Lillian Hellman done back in the early 60's in which she said she was moved by seeing Pete Seeger, "a man of integrity" perform. After her death, it was finally revealed that Hellman was a serial liar - she had lied about the whole "Julia" story for instance, giving herself a much more heroic role than she had actually played. And of course she had lied to herself and others about Stalin. Hellman knew no more about "integrity" than a dog knows about rocket science.
Hellman and Seeger - may they be keeping each other company in hell.

Screw it, I'd pay good money just for a jar of that incredibly delicious Big Boy red hamburger relish. All you'd have to do is go to McD's for a Big Mac without any sauce on it, take it home, put the BB sauce on it, and you've got yourself a classic Big Boy burger.
In fact I've read the Big Mac was McD's late 1960s attempt to basically duplicate Big Boy's burger.

His very first album was called "Greetings from Asbury Park N.J.," and has the original version (with a lot more verses) of "Blinded by the Light" on it. His second album was "The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle."
THEN "Born to Run" came out, and Springsteen got enough airplay out of that baby to open up his first Swiss bank account.

But some artists are so repellant and so borderline I can't do it. Tim Robbins was great in "Bull Durham" but I can't stand him in anything any more because he's such a leftist twit. I can barely watch the movie any longer, partly because I could only tolerate it while fast forwarding past the relationship bits with Susan Sarandon, one of my top ten most overrated actresses.

Trying to get a handle on whether it would be too much for me to handle. I got an idea on the sub cost and ongoing monthly fees. This appears to be a game that involves real $$$ to equip and whatnot (aside from online monthlies etc). Can one play this without sinking a lot (relatively) of $$$, just to be able to participate with others in the game? It looks like people have invested 1000's of $$$ in hardware... is this standard? Is starting at the bottom as a newfag cheap?
Also, does one need a team talky type program thing to play? Never had one of those. Not sure how to go about that. Also, is there an AOSHQ faction?
thanks.

Peter Frampton.
Was listening to KKJZ, SoCal's main/major/just about only jazz station worth listening to, just a few weeks ago. It's a "listener-supported' station located on the campus of California State University Long Beach (not far from me), and used to be an NPR station but isn't anymore. Anyway, they played an instrumental song of Frampton's from an album he did in 2005 called "Fingerprints." Title: "Souvenirs de Nos Pères (Memories of Our Fathers)".
It was incredible and beautiful.

Apparently Seeger saw Dylan as a protege, gushed about him at the Newport Folk Festivals
Then in 1965 Dylan decided to go the rock route and played "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Watchtower" at the festival with electric guitars and the like.
Seeger went apeshit and tried to yank the plugs, even tried to get to the sound engineer's panel with an axe.
Seeger denied that he did it because Dylan was "selling out" as witnesses heard, but said it was because the loud music was hurting his father's ears

Probably because Pete Seeger trashed Dylan as a corporate tool and a sellout for dumping the old folk songs for the coming wave of rock and folk rock
Come to think of it, Dylan's real name is Zimmerman. Seeger knew back then that anyone with that name is a racist

no, it doesn't cost money to play. The real world numbers that is thrown around about that game is if you're lazy as it's hard to not trip over money in game. The goal of the game is to make enough money in game so you can buy a PLEX on the market which is a 30 day time code. And hell, if you want to use my referral which will give you a 21 day trial and if you pay for that first month (using the sub feature and not using a PLEX), I'll send you the isk or plex to you.
Being a newbro in game is fun and people will kick you some isk for being new. Especially if you connect with the right people (Red vs Blue and Brave Newbies being the best of the lot)
Typically every corp in game uses Jabber to communicate to each other but every corp is different
You don't need a ton of hardware to run the game, may not get all of the pretty lights but it's pretty light on the requirements.
There isn't a AOSHQ corp, people who play are spread out quite a bit (I myself am member of Paxton which is a corp in Gentlemen's Agreement which part of the CFC). There is a chat room for morons to shoot the shit in which is just AOSHQ

If you're a struggling musician living on a friend's couch with no more than $200 to your name, recording your album on a cassette deck just maybe might qualify you for authentic "auteur" status.
If OTOH your basement is bigger and probably more well-appointed than most Manhattan penthouses, and you've already sold almost as many records as Elvis and Sinatra *combined,* recording your album on a cassette deck only qualifies you for "poseur" status.

It's kind of a Los Angeles in-joke. Hilburn was a music critic for the LA Times for a very long stretch and had an absurd level of worship for Springsteen. I recall he was also orgasmic over Prince's '1999' but it didn't get play on any station I'd listen to, so I went for quite a while wondering what was so wonderful. Then MTV showed up on the local cable system and I found myself amazed at what the song turned out to be. A catchy pop song but Hilburn made it out to be the second coming of something or other.

Being a newbro in game is fun and people will kick you some isk for being new. Especially if you connect with the right people (Red vs Blue and Brave Newbies being the best of the lot)
Typically every corp in game uses Jabber to communicate to each other but every corp is different
You don't need a ton of hardware to run the game, may not get all of the pretty lights but it's pretty light on the requirements.There isn't a AOSHQ corp, people who play are spread out quite a bit (I myself am member of Paxton which is a corp in Gentlemen's Agreement which part of the CFC). There is a chat room for morons to shoot the shit in which is just AOSHQ

Thanks. I'll look into it some more. Is it a waste of time going in, even with the trial, without a jabber program downloaded? Do you need an actual credit card? I use a debit card that works for most transactions on the internet... am I out of luck without an actual credit charge card? I've only ever played FPS since Doom and the last time I did any multiplayer online was with a team in MOH 1 about a decade ago, or something. Haven't ever gotten into the MMO type dealie games as they are either swords and sorcery stuff, or seem clunky somehow. EVE does look fascinating and I like the thrust of it and the way it works. Plus ithe huge sprawling lots going on at once looks good. Doom was about as sci fi as it ever goit for me, but this looks intriguing.
thanks again.

I'm reminded of the song on Capt. Beefheart's 'Trout Mask Replica' that was recorded off a phone call. They were demoing the song for Frank Zappa, who had a recorder going at his end. At the end you can hear Frank saying something to the effect, "That was great. We should put it on the record just like that." And they did.

Two great bands of the 1970s: 10cc and the Tubes.
Both of whom did great funny jabs at the "art rock" scene of the time.
Posted by: qdpsteve
Ha! Yesterday, I had a clip from Second City TV of John Candy hosting a fishing show with guests The Tubes.
Daughter, who knows her music mostly, asked, Who are the Tubes. A stark gap in our cultural transmission! One fishing trip and Su Su Sushi later, along with a trip to Wikipedia, and the gap was closed! A dose of Tubes and SCTV and Candy at his goofiest, all at once.
Yeah, funny to see the Tubes mention at end of thread when I tune in.
I can't think of any other funny ensemble comedy-variety shows like SCTV, except early seasons of MadTV were up there. Nope, can't think of any other.

I did not make the ol top ten
or twenty, did not once again.

I actually took the BH to see The Tubes at a club near here. Afterwards, they hung out and signed things and were generally cool.....and she said, "You guys did a great job in Xanadu!"
I facepalmed, and they looked awkwardly at each other, but they were actually nice about it. Then, again, the next time they did the club they did the song where they were ripping into baby dolls with a chainsaw.

I hated that class warfare bullshit. And in turn I came to hate the show that had it as its theme, 'Weeds.' (Trivia note: The community used for the exteriors of the show's Agrestic suburb development is Stevenson Ranch, a few miles south of me.)

But some artists are so repellant and so borderline I can't do it. Tim Robbins was great in "Bull Durham" but I can't stand him in anything any more because he's such a leftist twit. I can barely watch the movie any longer, partly because I could only tolerate it while fast forwarding past the relationship bits with Susan Sarandon, one of my top ten most overrated actresses.
Posted by: Christopher Taylor at February 02, 2014 11:39 PM (zfY+H)
There were some rumors going around that Sarandon dumped Robbins after all those years together because he started moving a teeny bit to the right, politically. From Stalinist to Trotskyist as it were. Whether it's true or not, I get a kick out of the idea.
As for her career, one scene and one scene alone made Sarandon's career. Lemons and tits.

ete Seeger, conventional political wisdom rule of thumb is that you can flirt with/be a part of the far left and have it written off as "misguided idealism," where if you do the same with the far right you're damaged for life.
I think it has something to do with people still thinking communism is "good" in some theoretical sense (which it isn't but anyway) while fascism/other far-right cultural politics aren't seen as having any vaguely redeeming qualities.Posted by: JP at February 02, 2014 08:42 PM (TP6sz)

Are you kidding? That movie was in theaters in 1988, twelve years after 'Werewolves of London' was charting. Sometimes a song gets revived like that. I can remember a year in the 70s, maybe 1976, when the Beatles' 'Got To Get You Into My Life' went into heavy rotation. There must have been a reason but if I ever knew I've long since forgotten.
Zevon was never a huge act who could sell out arenas. Performers who did covers of his songs, like Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Brown, were much bigger. But pretty much all of the tracks on his Best Of collection, 'A Quiet Normal Life,' got a fair amount of airplay on the AOR stations in LA.

Back in the first year or so of MTV, I remember seeing a live video of the band ABC (I think) and thinking that they were copying The Tubes a bit with their stage show. One of their female backup singers/dancers was wearing a bandolier, and I was thinking "those are REALLY big bullets"........until I realized that it was a bandolier of vibrators. Yeah, vibrators.

"Got to get you into my life" was backed with "Helter Skelter" as a single around then when the "Rock n roll music" double lp compilation came out. Dunno about staeside, but I remember Zevon having pretty decent AM radio status, with "Excitable boy" and the follow up.

good communists, Mr. Seeger and his Almanac comrades withdrew the album from circulation, and asked those who had bought copies to return them.

One thing I don't get about radio playlists. Playing the same song every day at 10:14am, day in day out. I can understand playing that song x number of times per day, or even per hour.

It's cynically amusing that so many of the white liberal yuppie proponents of said "diversity" stay as far away from these places as is physically possible.
It's almost as though -- no, that can't be it -- it's almost as though these white liberal yuppies are absolutely colossal hypocrites who don't practice what they preach. But that's impossible. Because their intentions are purist, progressive and for the best. That's what they say.

My mother is troubled because the money from my cousin's estate has finally been dispersed and her duties as executor at long last ending. Then she gets a notice from the bank informing her that the deceased's bank account earned $104 in 2013. Now she's freaking out wondering if she has to file a tax return for him over this.
Any opinions over whether the IRS is going to demand this?

Yah, but how well can Kruschev play the banjo?

Okay, that made me laugh. Because it reminded me of a book passage from a Cold War era novel whose name escapes me (The Charm School by DeMille, maybe.). Some shithead journalists were all agog over Chernenko after he took over from Yuri Andropov in the USSR. It was rumored that Chernenko was an accomplished musician, especially with the banjo and guitar and the reporters were tasked with getting the scoop on his musical prowess. The headline was to be "He Came From Alma-Ata With A Banjo On His Knee"

IIRC, the original SNL cast was in the process of moving on and had become pretty familiar, while the Fridays cast was younger and weren't the same old thing. It's kind of like looking for new bands that your older sibling don't know so you have something to call your own.
The original SNL cast mostly had a fair amount of mileage on them when the show started. In fact, a lot of the stuff in the first season was somewhat altered versions of sketches that had already been done for National Lampoon Radio and Lemmings.
Plus, there was a West coast vs. East coast thing going on. (Though Laraine Newman was an LA kid.) Perhaps if the original SNL cast had stayed on longer they would have been like rival rappers, exchanging gunfire in the streets.

There are a lot of missing pieces in the question.....but the easiest solution is to figure out who will pay the $30 for this to go away and have the executor request that the bank reissue the 1099 to them. Doesn't really matter if the $104 was earned by the estate and the principal distributed to heir C, if heir B steps up to give the Infernal Revenue Service their pound of flesh.
Of course, the official answer is to pay an attorney $400/hour to figure out where the rightful claim to the income should lie and pay a CPA $300/hour to amend returns to put it there.

From what I can discern, the real issue here is that the collective companies in the oil heat equipment business say they won't invest anything in RandD or training their workforce unless they get free money by way of a tax shakedown on consumers.
Fuck them. Sounds like they need some competition.

I was expert at taking them apart, cutting out bad sections and splicing; whatever it took to keep em going. I was poor AND frugal.
Berserker, I listened to that Amon link you posted; pretty good heavy metal. I noticed what looked like an AoS emblem in the top right corner of the video.

Sympathies.
Has she been evaluated for depression? Commonly encountered and commonly undertreated in the elderly.
Not least because people of a certain age don't bitch. Even when they're feeling really awful. Whereas younger people bitch all the time even when they are mostly okay.
My impression is that among older patients, the population bifurcates really strongly into treatment-responsive and treatment-refractory, more so than for younger patients. Either she will respond immediately and strongly to an antidepressant, or else, give up on that and look for some nonmedical means of making her feel better.

The advantages of clean living.
Posted by: cthulhu at February 02, 2014 11:07 PM (T1005)
cthulhu:
1. Campbell Metal, on Charcot. Go to the Mayan Fry's on Brokaw. At the Brokaw-Junction intersection, turn north on Junction and go to the next light (Charcot). Turn right, then turn left into the first or second driveway. There is a "Campbell Metal" sign, but the shadows from the trees make it tough to see. Go inside, and ask for access to the "rem" area. They have a $30 minimum order, and you will have to weigh the material you want, then look at the posted prices to calculate your cost. Call one of the workers over to write a ticket, then go into the office to pay. Campbell also has O1 steel rounds, and various precision-ground steel flats (steel type is labeled.
2. Alan Iron and Steel, in Redwood City. Go north on 101, take the WHIPPLE exit, turn right. About 20 yards into the turn, the Alan I&S building will be on the left. Park in one of the few spaces outside the gate, go inside, to the building on the right. Meet Alan. Look around. He has aluminum, brass, bronze, steel, stainless ... ask. His prices are a bit higher (ask) but he has more variety.
