PONDEROSA
STOMP
The Ponderosa Stomp is
an American roots music festival dedicated to recognizing the
architects of rock-n-roll, blues, jazz, country, swamp pop, and soul.
Founded in New Orleans and produced by the non-profit Mystic Knights of
the Mau Mau, a diverse group of music fanatics who have presented over
50 concerts with over 200 musical legends, the Stomp always succeeds in
exposing rare musical icons to their adoring fans and to new audiences.
The Stomp itself has now become legendary in reviving careers and
giving a new lease on musical life to so many performers.

Recipes
There
seems to be a general misconception that all hippies eat Tofu and soy
milk ( did you know in addition to all the nutrients and protein, soy
contains a natural chemical that mimics estrogen, the female hormone.
Some studies in animals show that this chemical can alter sexual
development. And in fact, 2 glasses of soy milk/day, over the course of
one month, contain enough of the chemical to change the timing of a
woman’s menstrual cycle?) see HERE
We
will print healthy recipes for those of you who like that sort of meal.
But lets start with something Un-Healthy

HIPPIE CANDY
1 - bag chocolate chips 1 - bag butterscotch chips 1 c. peanut butter
(smooth or crunchy) 1 bag sm. marshmallows (colored if ya can find

Merle
Haggard has beaten lung cancer, is touring
&
kicking his pot habit
Merle Haggard is not letting a
bout with lung cancer get in the way of his ambitious touring and
recording plans.
Seven weeks after the 71-year-old country legend had a lemon-sized
tumor removed in what he calls "the greatest test of my fortitude," he
said on Wednesday that he expects to work harder in 2009 than he has in
20 years.
Haggard says he is singing better now that he is in the throes of
kicking his daily marijuana habit. More importantly, the son of
Depression-era Dust Bowl migrants from Oklahoma views himself as a
cheerleader during tough times.
"I think we can stir up some good humor out there among the folks that
are crying for good news, and just give them a moment's happiness," he
told Reuters.
Haggard will play his first concerts in a little over two months on
Friday and Saturday in his central California hometown of Bakersfield.
They will be the first shows of his life where he has not loosened up
before with either tobacco or marijuana, he said. "So it's gonna be
interesting as to what kind of a show comes out of this body that's
used to performing the other way."
Haggard, who once derided pot-smoking hippies in his 1969 hit "Okie
From Muskogee," got hooked on marijuana after a doctor said it was a
good substitute for his Valium habit.

AXL
ROSE vs DR. PEPPER
GUNS
N' ROSES' lawyers are getting pissy with Dr Pepper over the unpalatable
beverage giant's promise it would give every American a free sodie pop
if Chinese Democracy were released in 2008 (which it were). Dr Pepper
got a little cute with the terms, offering a coupon on its Web site for
one day only, and many thirsty Americans were left parched —
especially since the site kept crashing, so that it was impossible to
download the coupon. Laurie Soriano, a lawyer for the band, felt that
the snafu reflected poorly on her wards. "When you go on the blogs and
you read the responses from the fans, they associated Axl with this
promotion . . . and blame him for the fact that they didn't get their
free soda," she told CNN. "The door to a lawsuit being filed is always
open until the fans are taken care of and Dr Pepper has done the right
thing."

The PEACE SYMBOL
Turns 50
This
Year
Activist and artist Gerald
Holtom came up with the design on February 21, 1958
Gerald
Holtom, a conscientious objector who had worked on a farm in Norfolk
during the Second World War, explained that the symbol incorporated the
semaphore letters N(uclear) and D(isarmament). He later wrote to Hugh
Brock, editor of Peace News, explaining the genesis of his idea in more
personal depth:
I
was in despair. Deep despair. I drew myself: the representative of an
individual in despair, with hands palm outstretched outwards and
downwards in the manner of Goya’s peasant before the firing
squad. I formalised the drawing into a line and put a circle round it.

Mass
Actions on the 6th Anniversary of the Iraq War -- March 21, 2009
Bring All the Troops Home
Now -- End All Colonial Occupations!
Fund
People's Needs, Not Militarism & Bank Bailouts!
Marking the sixth
anniversary of
the criminal invasion of Iraq, thousands will take to the streets of
Washington D.C. and other cities across the U.S. and around the world
in March 2009 to say, “Bring the Troops Home NOW!”
We will
also demand “End Colonial Occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Palestine and Everywhere,” and “Fund
Peoples’ Needs
Not Militarism and Bank Bailouts.” We also insist on an end
to
the war threats and economic sanctions against Iran.
The ANSWER Coalition
(Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is organizing for unified mass
marches and rallies in Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Chicago, Miami and other cities on Saturday, March 21, 2009. Months ago
we obtained permits for sixth anniversary demonstrations. ANSWER has
been actively involved with other coalitions, organizations, and
networks to organize unified anti-war demonstrations in the spring of
2009. ANSWER participated in the National Assembly to End the Iraq and
Afghanistan Wars and Occupations that was held in Cleveland, Ohio on
June 28th-29th and attended by 450 people, including many national and
local anti-war coalitions. The National Assembly gathering agreed to
promote national, unified anti-war demonstrations in the Spring of
2009.
The war in Iraq has
killed,
wounded or displaced nearly a third of Iraq’s 26 million
people.
Thousands of U.S. soldiers have been killed and hundreds of thousands
more have suffered severe physical and psychological wounds. The cost
of the war is now running at $700 million dollars per day, over $7,000
per second. The U.S. leaders who have initiated and conducted this
criminal war should be tried and jailed for war crimes.
The war in
Afghanistan is
expanding, and both the Democratic and Republican presidential
candidates and Congressional leaders have promised to send in more
troops. Both have promised to increase the size of the U. S. military.
Both have promised to increase military aid to Israel to continue its
oppression of the Palestinian people, including the denial of the right
of return.
While millions of
families are
losing their homes, jobs and healthcare, the real military budget next
year will top one trillion dollars, $1,000,000,000,000. If used to meet
people’s needs, that amount could create 10 million new jobs
at
$60,000 per year, provide healthcare for everyone who does not have it
now, rebuild New Orleans and repair much of the damage done in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Federal bailouts of
the biggest
banks and investors many of whom have also made billions in profits
from militarism, are already up to an astounding $2.5 trillion this
year. None of that money is earmarked for keeping millions of
foreclosed and evicted families in their homes.
Coming just two
months after the
inauguration of the new president, Barack Obama, March 21, 2009 will be
a critical opportunity to let the new administration in Washington hear
the voice of the people demanding justice.

John Lennon appears in charity
commercial
"One Laptop Per Child" creates controversy
Through the use of digital
technology, the Beatle urges people across the U.S. to support a
campaign by One Laptop Per Child to deliver tough, solar-powered XO
laptop computers to the world's poorest children.
"Imagine every
child no matter where in the world they were could access a universe of
knowledge. They would have a chance to learn, to dream, to achieve
anything they want," a voice and video image of Lennon has been created
to say.
"I tried to do it
through my music, but now you can do it in a very different way. You
can give a child a laptop and more than imagine, you can change the
world," says the musician in a play on one his best known songs --
1971's "Imagine."
Lennon was shot and
killed as he and his wife, Yoko Ono, arrived at their Manhattan
apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980.
Ono approved the
One Laptop Per Child commercial, which launched Thursday and will be
shown on donated broadcast and cable time. It can also be seen on
YouTube.
The One Laptop Per
Child Foundation, created in 2005, is a spinoff from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and started producing the XO laptop late last
year at a manufacturing cost per machine of less than $200.

Imagine there is a Heaven.
Imagine
John Lennon is in Heaven, and he is retching over this |
About Marc Catone : We
really know very little about Marc, we know that
Marc
is very knowledgeabal about the Beatles and John Lennon.
We
found Marc at 1960's
Googles Groups,
where he often posts
some of
the most interesting Beatles trivia and facts that you will find
anywhere
on the world wide web.
We then
copy his posts and present it on BBR&R. We will
continue to do this unless we get
a cease & desist order from Mr. Catone.
Marc doesn't even know he has a special spot on BBR&R ! |
Most
of you are aware of my history in opposition to the commercial
exploitation
of The
Beatles music, when used in ads having nothing to
do
with the intent
of the song or lyrics.
Many
of you recall
my opposition going back to that fateful day in
1985
when the first
commercial of that year's Grammy awards was a
Chevrolet
ad using
"Help"...the first time a Beatles song was used in
such
a manner.
I
formed a
shoe-string organization called "F.A.C.E The Music (Fans
Against
Commercial
Exploitation)" which gathered petitions and sent
letters
to major
advertising firms and the major TV Networks to stop
accepting
advertising using Beatles music.
The
NBC legal dept
threatened to sue me over my alleged "harassment"
of
their
advertising dept. I told them to go ahead and make my day.
Of
course, those
feckless lawyers never did.
Now,
comes this.
The actual image of John Lennon being used to
promote
a
commercial product, with a voiceover by someone imitating
his
voice.
I
have usually
defended Yoko Ono when it has come to the commercial
licensing
of
products lending themselves to John Lennon (e.g.
children's
pajamas
containing some of his drawings), but this time I
think
Yoko's
permission to have John's image advertise laptop
computers
has
crossed an ethical line.
It's
one thing to
say that John Lennon would promote peace if he were
still
alive, it's
another thing entirely to say he would have
advocated
a laptop
for evey child in the Third World.
Some
say that this
will benefit children. To that I say, "Bullshit".
It's
a connivance
to make the computer company money. Who knows if
the
computers will
actually be used by children. More than likely
they
will be used
by adults. Who knows...maybe even adults who have
links
to terrorist
groups. And even should a child in the Sudan come
to
own one of these
laptops, will it really be used to learn, or
merely
to
entertain? Wouldn't bringing food, clean water, and
vaccinations
be a
more worthwhile goal for poor children throughout
the
world?
And
some will say
that John Lennon was Yoko's husband, and that as
head
of his estate
she has the right to do whatever she wants. Well,
that's
true, but as
with every freedom there comes responsibility.
The
misuse of
Lennon's image (figuratively and literally) is
irresponsible,
and
not in keeping with John's history.
And
still others
will wonder if I don't have something more important
to
be concerned
about in my life? I do, and I won't lose any sleep
over
this
issue...but it pisses me off mightily nonetheless.
If
anyone cares,
send a concerned letter or email to:

DID MICK JAGGER
SURVIVE AN
ASSASSINATION PLOT ?
 
Rolling
Stones singer Mick Jagger escaped an assassination plot hatched in 1969
by the Hells Angels, a new British Broadcasting Corp. documentary has
claimed. A program to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 says the
rock star was the target of the plot following a purported dispute with
the motorcycle gang over concert
security.
Jagger had vowed not to use Hells Angel
members as
bouncers following the death in December 1969 of an 18-year-old fan at
a notorious free performance at Altamont Speedway in Northern
California ( YouTube, Disturbing ! you
can get the DVD here
). In return, gang members hatched a plan to kill Jagger at
his holiday home in Long Island, New York, the BBC claimed. "The Hells
Angels were so angered by Jagger's treatment of them that they decided
to kill him," Tom Mangold, the presenter of the program, was quoted as
telling Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper. He said the plan was
disclosed during an interview with Mark Young, a former FBI officer,
for the BBC's "The FBI at 100" documentary. Mangold said the men tried
to reach Jagger by sea. "The boat was hit by a storm and all of the men
were thrown overboard," he was quoted as saying. They all survived but
made no other attempt on his life, Mangold said.It was not clear
whether Jagger was ever informed of the alleged plot against him. LD
Communications, Jagger's publicists in Britain, did not immediately
return calls requesting comment.The Hells Angels have always denied any
connection with the Altamont Speedway killing.

Politicians
kill funding for
The
Woodstock Museum
Oct 30 2008
Lawrenceville,
NJ – U.S. Senate candidate Dick Zimmer’s
“Waste of
the Week” campaign this week highlights how Senator Frank
Lautenberg chose to spend $1,000,000 on a hippie museum rather than
support a prenatal and child healthcare program.
The Museum at
Bethel Woods is commonly referred to as the Woodstock
hippie museum since it examines the experience of the Woodstock
festival and the legacy of the Sixties.
Senator Lautenberg voted against a specific
amendment
that would have shifted $1,000,000 in federal funds from the Woodstock
hippie museum to the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant Program
which provides prenatal and children’s healthcare. (Senate
vote
377, October 18, 2007, S. Amdt. 3321 to HR 3043, FL voted yes on motion
to kill amendment)
During
yesterday’s U.S. Senate radio debate on New Jersey
101.5
FM, Senator Lautenberg said that he voted for the hippie museum because
“it looked like something that was vital in terms of American
history and the movement of our society.” However, the museum
was
considered absurd even by Democrats who crossed party lines to kill
it.
Zimmer
issued the following statement:
“Apparently, Senator Lautenberg feels that preserving go-go
boots
and tie-dyed t-shirts is more ‘vital’ to society
than the
health of our nation’s
children.
“Wasteful spending must be stopped so our economy can get
back on
track. As Senator, I will eliminate wasteful spending and
make
the interests of the taxpayers my top priority.”
Zimmer’s “Waste of the Week”
campaign is
designed to highlight Senator Frank Lautenberg’s record of
supporting wasteful spending and pork-barrel politics at the expense of
New Jersey taxpayers. Previous Wastes of the Week were the
$300
billion Farm Bill, the $389 million Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska, a
$225,000 pamphlet on beaver damage, various Monuments to Me spending
projects, the Teapot Museum in North Carolina, the Joplin, Missouri
interchange, Amtrak’s Sunset Limited, renovations for the
Scottish Rite Theatre in Collingswood, New Jersey, the EarthPark indoor
rainforest in Iowa, the Frank R. Lautenberg Train Station, the
Camden-Philadelphia aerial tram, the wood uses research and the Hippie
museum.
November
24,2008 Christies Auction
House Sells the Vox Organ used by John Lennon For $182,500
Here's what
the auction
house said about the organ : Vox Continental Portable Organ used by
John Lennon at the historic August 15, 1965, Shea Stadium concert, as
well as the Beatles' August 13, 1965 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show
and on the studio recording of I'm Down.
The organ
features a
four octave keyboard, wood weighted black and white keys (reversed),
detachable Z-shaped chrome frame stand, orange top and accompanying
cases.
In front of
a crowd of
55,000 plus, Lennon closed out the most famous concert in history with
a frenzied rendition of I'm Down, in which he wildly pounded on the
offered keyboard,(video) resulting in the organ not
working properly for the
next show in Toronto on August 17. The next day in Atlanta, the organ
was traded in for functioning Vox Continental organ from the Thomas
Organ Center - The Vox Shoppe, the exchange being completed by a local
Atlanta policeman. The organ remained in the possession of the owner of
The Vox Shoppe for nearly four decades.
The organ
itself is
distinguished by a non-standard Vox Continental logo adhered to the
front of the case, which is clearly visible in pictures and film from
the event and from the set of The Ed Sullivan Show two days prior. The
organ has been recently repaired keeping all the original parts (which
were in pristine condition) and is now fully functional. Accompanied by
a signed affidavit and advertisements regarding the organ and the
Thomas Organ Center - The Vox Shoppe
