Boogie 'til You Puke
For your New Year's pleasure:
Boogie 'til You Puke
By Root Boy Slim & the Sex Change Band
Put a quarter in the juke
And boogie 'til you puke
Pop that Locker Room
Let's really zoom
Shootin' and a-tootin'
All night long
The party lasts
'Til your brain cells gone
Get on down and boogie tonight
Don't know nothin' but
You know it's alright
Whaaa, whaaa- somebody help me
Whaaa, got to boogie
Really got to boogie
I start with port
Drink two or three quarts
I drank Pernod
Then boogie some more
Speeding two weeks
On Wyamine
Don't mix too good
With ice box wine
Get on down and do it right
Really got to boogie
Got to boogie tonight
Whaaa, got to boogie, whaaa, got to boogie
Whaaa, got to boogie, whaaa, whaaa, whaaa
Somebody got to boogie
Everybody gots to boogie
Put a quarter in the juke
Boogie 'til you puke
Form a big boss line
It's puking time
Cleaning woman
Found me on the floor
Can't wait 'til tomorrow
To boogie some more
This song was mentioned in my book: Memoirs Of A Drugged-up, Sex-crazed Yippie ---Tales from the 70's Counterculture: Drugs, Sex, Politics and Rock and Roll.

Leave our holiday alone
Thanks to evangelical Christians, such as The Rev. TERRY FOX,
and various churches that have called stores and threatened boycotts over if they didn’t use Merry Christmas over Happy Holidays, some of us are sick of Christians and their holiday. They STOLE this holiday and all it’s traditions from earlier religions. They then viscously attack all of us who want to celebrate this great holiday, which Charles Dickens made famous with his story, A Christmas Carol. His story had nothing in it about Christianity, but plenty about Christmas spirit, the idea of giving, of perusing happiness for yourself and others, for enjoying being with your family and the simple things we take for granted in life. Charity and mankind should be the Christian’s business, not fighting over who owns this holiday.
As far as I’m concerned, today’s conservative Christians, who believe they follow the teachings of Jesus, resemble the followers of Adolf Hitler.

It’s been a black black black X-mass
Here’s a ditty for those of you who have had a really bad X-mas:
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
I’ll be home for Christmas, even if in a box.
Look for gifts on my coffin lid,
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
All I want for X-mass is my two front wrists,
So I can use my razor blades,
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
The moon is full, the air is still,
All of a sudden I feel a chill,
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away,
Skeletons dances, I curse this day,
And it’s just a jolly holiday.
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause,
Underneath the Mistle-toe.
Daddy’s gone to war. The mailman looks like Santa
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
Creditors shaking corpses upside down,
To check for change someone might have left behind.
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
All though it’s been said many times, many ways
Fuck off and die!
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
Yes it’s the Scrooge and Santa Mash,
And it’s a grave yard smash,
It’s been a black black black X-mass.
What a crazy fluke
We’re gonna get nuked
On This Jolly Holliday.
Merry Shit-mess everybody!

Tookie Williams terminated by die terminator
I am die terminator, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. I terminated Tookie Williams. Some people appose capitol punishment, but I can terminate them to, because I am the terminator and they are all gurly boys. Tookie was easy to terminate because he was strapped to a gurney. He was a gurly man. Most of all, I saved my political ass. It’s what da blood thirsty public wanted.

Merry Winter Solstice!
Buy my book.
Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie ---Tales from the 70's Counterculture: Drugs, Sex, Politics and Rock and Roll, takes the reader through the life of a 1970s counter-culture drug user. Mark Spies goes from casual pot smoking to habitual use of pharmaceutical narcotics and cocaine. Due to the changing sexual attitudes, Spies has several unconventional sexual encounters. The 1970s brought us the "Woodstock generation." There was a sense of idealism that developed at the beginning and died at the end of that decade. Many counter-culture books focus on the 1960s, yet there are plenty of events in the 1970s that deserve attention. Nixon's war in Vietnam and Cambodia dominated the news and affected America's youth. Nixon's war on drugs impacted the counter-culture life style. Then there was punk rock, disco, casual cocaine use and revolutions braking out around the world by 1979.With politics in the background, this book gives the reader a look at drug use and the difficult business of drug dealing. The drugs, sexual attitudes, music and politics made the 1970s what they were. Taken as a whole, this book will give some insight into the people and events of the 1970s counter-culture.

John Lennon - October 9, 1940 - December 8, 1980.
John Lennon was a major influence on my life. When the Beatles broke up I started buying his singles and his albums. At first, I didn’t like all of them and I didn’t like it when he and Yoko Ono sang together. But over the years I kept listening to his songs and by the day he died, he had become not only my favorite ex-Beatle, but a symbol of a time where we held hope, rather than paranoia, about our future.
These are two excerpts from my book Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie ---Tales from the 70's Counterculture: Drugs, Sex, Politics and Rock and Roll____
The death of John Lennon____
About a month later I was still seeing Pauline off and on. We never had a tight relationship, but we kept seeing each other. One night we were sitting together on her black leather couch, covered with afghans. She also had a brown leather chair, a Zenith TV and a Sony stereo system in the corner. We had just made love and were now just cuddling on her couch. The room was dark and she had the radio on. The brightest thing in the whole room was the yellow numbers on the stereo. Then suddenly I heard some shocking news on the radio: “John Lennon has just been shot. He has been pronounced dead. A man shot him in front of his home and was taken away by police. He was smiling.”
Like much of America, I was stunned. People my age grew up with the Beatles. We were the “youth culture.” This seemed to be a wake up call that we were mortal. Our youth would not last forever. We would all grow old and die. To some, as with me, Lennon was an inspiration. I often identified with his lyrics. His song “Imagine” became an anthem from that day on. It represented the idealism we strived for in both the 1960s and 1970s. We wanted a peaceful world, void of nationalism, commercialism, materialism and religious violence. That dream was about to become a distant memory, almost unthinkable, in the 1980s. The Reagan era was about to bring the exact opposite, a country of greed, self-centeredness, arrogance and mean spiritedness. It was as if Lennon’s death and Reagan’s election victory were symbolic of the end of an era. It had been an era Lennon helped shape.
Lennon’s final lesson to me________
So I went to the kitchen and got half a bag of Rold Gold pretzels and my last bottle of Mickeys beer, which I had saved from a few nights ago. I went down to my bedroom. I pulled out the album “John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band,” which I had bought and listened to back in high school. I put it on the stereo and sat down on my old green bed. I put the pretzels and the beer on a small brown coffee table next to the bed. I hadn’t heard that album in a long time. As I listened to the songs, “I Found Out” and “God,” I suddenly understood what Lennon had gone through. I went through the same thing 10 years later.
In the words from “I Found Out”:
“There ain’t no Jesus gonna come from the sky.”
and
“Don’t let them fool you with dope and cocaine.”
He denounced both religion and drugs, almost as if they were the same kind of thing. And in the song “God,” Lennon denounced his role as an LSD mystic, using references from his song “I Am The Walrus” from the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” album.
After a long list of things he proclaimed he no longer believed in he sang:
“I just believe in me,
Yoko and me,
And that’s reality.”
