While I'm sitting around watching Visa-mas commercials, that don't even offer kids toys, but promote parents buying everthing with credit and debit card......What!? You have the audacity to pay in cash or a check. All the toys fall on the floor, heaven closes its gates and the earth stands still because someone is buying holiday gifts with cash or a check. Oh MY GOD!!!

I Love Jagermiester
I love German music and I love Toten Hosen. Too bad I’m not a musically talented writer.

Halloween is my favorite time of the year
Halloween is my favorite time of the year. It was the most important of the Ancient Druid holidays also known as Samhein.
It was the celebration of the fall harvest, but it was also the night of the dead, where the spirits could cross over and visit the living.
I’ve never seen a spirit, but some people say they have.
I enjoy making my favorite holiday brew; a gallon cider fermented with a handful of wormwood, three pumpkin flowers and of course, yeast.
Then there’s the insence that I love so well, wormwood mixed with moon flower, AKA jimsonweed. As a mild insence it is not a powerful hallucinogenic. It just gives a mild head buzz.
Anyway, just sit in a graveyard and put a circle of pumpkin heads (plastic will work or even some other material) around you with black candles in them, burn a mixture of moonflower, yew and wormwood and if you sit there ½ an hour and wait, you might see a spirit or two – especially if you are in the graveyard at midnight on Halloween, that is the high time of magic.

It doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Weatherman, known colloquially as the Weathermen and later the Weather Underground Organization, was a U.S. Radical Left group consisting of splintered-off members and leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society which formed on the campus on the University of Michigan in the 1960s. (They took their name from a line from the Bob Dylan song 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.") The group referred to itself as a revolutionary organization of women and men whose purpose was to carry out a series of attacks that would achieve the revolutionary overthrow of the Government of the United States.[citation needed] Their attacks were mostly bombings of government buildings, executed after calling in bomb-threats and making sure their target buildings were evacuated. The Weathermen imploded shortly after the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975, which saw the general decline of the New Left, of which Weatherman had been a part.
Early on, the Weathermen were part of the Revolutionary Youth Movement within the Students for a Democratic Society. When they split — first from the RYM's Maoists and then from SDS itself — they distinguished themselves from other self-proclaimed revolutionary groups by claiming that there was no time to build a vanguard party and that revolutionary war against the United States and the capitalist system should begin immediately. To that end, they carried out one of the first domestic terror campaigns in the United States, consisting of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots."

Acid rock nostalgia
The Electric prunes are mentioned in my new book, Can You Pass the Acid Test?: A History of the Drug and Sex Counterculture and Its Censorship in the 20th Century. It should have been mentioned in Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie: Tales from the 1970s counter-culture: Drugs, sex, politics and rock and roll.
