A Merry Winter Solstice

The Winter Solstice will soon be here, about Dec. 20^th. It comes a few days before Christmas, but the early pagans celebrated that day rather than Christmas, long before Christianity came to Europe. So for those of us who are not Christian, we can celebrate the winter solstice.

Here is a great holiday favourite of mine.

On the Anniversary of John Lennon’s death

This is from Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie, By Steve Otto;

When I returned to Wichita, I

had vowed that I would never get into any business that

required me to kill someone to protect my investment.

Those days were over.

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.

Poems of the longest night

The Night Prayer

Osiris,
Dear Osiris.
Give us our daily bread.
And beer to cloud our sunny daze,
And chase away Re,
Cloud his blinding light with darkness,
Osiris,
Osiris,

My Haiku 俳句 Poem

Goodbye to the Sun
The night is cold and longer
Hello to the night

God vs. Dog

In the mirror,
Dog sees god,
Does god see Dog?,
God said: “Let there be light,”
Dog said: “Let us eat.”

We sure have our share of assholes in Wichita. Here is an example. Just read the bottom of this clip. This is from The Wichita Eagle's call in opinion line.

The Pol Pot Journals are no longer at LuLu.com

I have chosen to cancel my book contract with LuLu.com, so The Pol Pot Journals are no longer available at that site. They can only be purchased at my book site, at http://steveottosbooks.tk/ for $25, while they last. Just go under Get autographed books! You’ll have to send in your address and the money as a check, money order or cash. I do have a Pay Pal account so I can work something out, if someone wants to use that to pay for a book. All copies will be signed and I only have a few left. Anyone who sends in an order after the last is gone, will have their money sent back.

The Chri$tma$ season is here

The Chri$tma$ season is here!
And it’s time for some chear!
Here is a wonderful carol taken from that TV special Rudolph the Red–Nosed Reindeer. I changed the words a little:
♫♪♫

We wrapped up your presents but thought you where dead
We gave to a buy who said he was Fred
When Chri$ma$ time is here
The most wonderful time to drink beer!
We shopped at Walmart and found they were crooks
Then we bought gifts from Otto’s books,
When Chri$ma$ time is here
The most wonderful time to drink beer!
(The music is like that song in the Rudolf TV special)
♫♪♫

How old is this song?

♫♪♫


I always thought one of the Animals wrote this. How old is it?

The House of the Rising Sun" is a folk song from the United States. Also called "House of the Rising Sun" or occasionally "Rising Sun Blues", it tells of a life gone wrong in New Orleans. Depending on the version, the song may be sung from the perspective of a woman or a man. The most famous version was recorded by the English rock group The Animals in 1964, which was a number one hit in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden and Canada.
