No videos that I know of survive of Slugbug's brief stint with an all-female band called "The Homewreckers" but this is one of the bands that sometimes rehearsed in the same building, as did the band Cannibal shown below. This is Renee Refuzor singing lead - way beyond anything Courtney Love has ever done. Used to see her in Marie-Don Drugs in Wallingford kicking her white pit bull with her white cowboy boots.
Anyone remember Gorilla Gardens? Wasn't it in Chinatown?
At the Eternal Moonwalk site you can upload your own short moonwalk video and it appends it to the others, for an "eternal moonwalk." There are already participants from all corners of the globe.
Musicians and pranksters Jason Webley and Amanda Carter are promoting this Siamese Twin duo from Walla Walla, WA. Note that their record company is called "Eleven Records," a phonetic anagram of "Evelyn." In speaking of the twins, Amanda said that the process is slow because they are "very difficult to work with." In watching the video and listening to the voice, I think I've cracked the code about Everything Evelyn.
Michael Jackson was raised by Jehovah’s Witnesses and flirted with Scientology and Islam. Now many Christian groups wonder if the King of Pop is residing with the King of Kings.
Seattle PI Blog reports that Michael had 10,000 books. They reported that a judge who knew him said in an interview:
"He loved to read. He had over 10,000 books at his house. And I know that because - and I hate to keep referring to the case, because I don't want the case - the case should not define him. But one of the things that we learned - the DA went through his entire library and found, for instance, a German art book from 1930-something. And it turned out that the guy who was the artist behind the book had been prosecuted by the Nazis. Nobody knew that, but then the cops get up there and say, 'We found this book with pictures of nude people in it.' But it was art, with a lot of text. It was art. And they found some other things, a briefcase that didn't belong to him that had some Playboys in it or something. But they went through the guy's entire house, 10,000 books. And it caused us to do the same thing, and look at it."
"And there were places that he liked to sit, and you could see the books with his bookmarks in it, with notes and everything in it where he liked to sit and read. And I can tell you from talking to him that he had a very - especially for someone who was self-taught, as it were, and had his own reading list - he was very well-read. And I don't want to say that I'm well-read, but I've certainly read a lot, let's put it that way, and I enjoy philosophy and history and everything myself, and it was very nice to talk to him, because he was very intellectual, and he liked to talk about those things. But he didn't flaunt it, and it was very seldom that he would initiate the conversation like that, but if you got into a conversation like that with him, he was there."
Apparently MJ was a frequenter of several bookstores and a Johny Appleseed of reading, spreading books to all children. He would bring in vanloads of kids and buy them whatever books they wanted. He would often wear a surgical mask and have an assistant hold an umbrealla to shield him from the glare of florescent lighting. They contrasted him with Kanye West who doesn't like to read and discussed the disconnect between pop and intellect in America.
