Told To Tone Down His Life
If the tales of rock 'n’ roll excess in Ozzy’s new
autobiography
I Am Ozzy didn’t quite fulfill your gossip quotient for the year, help
is round the corner from another rock wildman whose autobiography is
causing a stir before it’s even been printed.British tabloid the Daily Mail has been reporting that Keith Richards’ forthcoming autobiography Life is so controversial that he has been warned by Rolling Stones management to tone it down, amid fears that the warts-and-all exposé will further strain the relationship between him and fellow Stone Mick Jagger. The high-octane lifestyle enjoyed by the Rolling Stones is legendary, and is expected to provide ample fodder for a life story which could sell in huge numbers. But revelations about Jagger’s drug-taking and affairs might be removed to protect the stability of the band, whose last world tour grossed almost $560m. Richards has already prepared a first draft of the book after securing a massive £4.8m ($7.2m) advance, and insiders have been pleasantly surprised by his candor. An unnamed source said: “Keith said he was finding it difficult to remember things when he first sat down to start writing it. But his memory seems pretty good. It's going to be explosive when it comes out.” Censored or not, the autobiography should hit stores in October. ![]() ![]() A free

Jagger has rejected the suggestion drugs had a negative impact on the
Rolling Stones, insisting the band wrote some of their biggest hits
while under the influence.
The legendary group famously indulged in narcotics during their 1960s and 70s heyday - particularly chief songwriters Jagger and Keith Richards. But the frontman insists the "party atmosphere" helped to inspire much of their music, particularly iconic 1972 album Exile on Main Street. Jagger tells Absolute Radio, "That was a period of time when everyone took loads of drugs, it was very fashionable, but I mean, we did a lot of hard work as well, so it was a bit of a party atmosphere, loads of visitors, you know, there was a lot of drugs floating around, but not everyone was completely out of it all the time and we did a lot of good tracks, you know." The pot leaf that Facebook said promoted “illegal content” and banished from advertisements on its popular site has reappeared on the Web via Google. The ads, which include a marijuana leaf in a quote bubble, ask readers to “end the war on marijuana” and sign a petition to President Obama to allow states to legalize the substance. The social-networking website has decided that its advertising guidelines do not allow marijuana leaves to appear in ads, although marijuana leaves appear on numerous free Facebook pages devoted to the weed. Facebook ran the marijuana leaf ad from the Just Say Now campaign for more than a week before deciding to reject it. “Facebook’s concocted prissiness over political advocacy is more to be disparaged than imitated,” Bruce Fein, a lawyer and author who worked in President Reagan’s Justice Department and a Just Say Now advisory board member, said in a statement. “Freedom of expression is made of sterner stuff. Google deserves applause for exposing Facebook to shame.” Annie Ta, a Facebook spokeswoman, said Wednesday that the company’s position was unchanged. Google spokeswoman Diana Adair declined to discuss the company’s decision to accept the ads, noting that the firm does not talk about specific advertisers. Adair had indicated earlier that the search engine’s policies would probably allow a pot leaf in an ad. The two tech firms are located about six miles apart in Silicon Valley. On Wednesday, the Libertarian Party also said Facebook had rejected an ad last month with an image superimposing the party’s Statue of Liberty logo over a pot leaf. The ad touts the party as the only one to support complete legalization of marijuana. Wes Benedict, the party’s executive director, called Facebook’s action ridiculous. “We recognize Facebook’s right to control their content and censor whoever they want,” he said in a statement. “But we’re also exercising our First Amendment right to complain about their bad decision, and to alert other consumers to put pressure on them.” |
Ronnie Wood has new radio
gig
Ronnie Wood, the Rolling Stones guitarist, is to present a weekly show on rock music station Absolute Radio and its digital sibling, Absolute Classic
Rock.The Ronnie Wood Show, which will be produced by independent production company Somethin' Else, will broadcast first on the digital station on Friday evening and be repeated on Absolute Radio on Saturday night. Absolute Classic Rock relaunched this week, branding itself the home of the "Great British Guarantee" with a playlist featuring the Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and the Rolling Stones. "Ronnie will deliver a playlist that comes straight from his heart, playing music that he loves and is passionate about, all accompanied by his uniquely fascinating stories, experiences and memories and using his trusted guitar to illustrate elements of the tunes played and to accompany him," said Absolute. The Friday show will launch at 6pm on April 9. The Saturday repeat will air at 10pm. Tony Moorey, the Absolute Radio content director, said: "Think fantastic music, and one man and his guitar in your living room, but that man being one of rock's gods, Ronnie Wood. It's not often that we have a genuine opportunity to strike a radio relationship with a rock legend ... The Ronnie Wood Show is that opportunity." It is the latest Absolute Radio show to be awarded to an independent production company, after Frank Skinner's Saturday morning show and Dave Gorman's Sunday morning slot, which are both made by Avalon. ![]() Live musical acts are offered on 11 stages throughout the grounds from noon to midnight, including the 23,000-capacity Marcus Amphitheater. All shows are free with an admission ticket, with the exception of headlining acts at the Marcus Amphitheater. Admission is between $8.00 and $15.00, depending on the time of day. There are numerous promotions for discounted or free tickets. Summerfest has been most famous for its music, ever since the first festival in 1968, when acts such as Ronnie Dove, The New Colony Six, and Up With People performed. In 1969, Led Zeppelin performed (see Midwest Rock Festival). Since then, musical acts from Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, and James Taylor to Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, and Nine Inch Nails have graced the Summerfest stages. Acts with Milwaukee and Wisconsin connections have had a prominent history at Summerfest, most notably the BoDeans, The Gufs and Violent Femmes. The concerts have been mostly civil events, with two notable exceptions. In 1970, a performance by the late-arriving Sly & the Family Stone nearly resulted in a riot, and in 1973 a performance by Humble Pie & the Blackberries did result in a riot, along with a bonfire and about 300 arrests. As a result of the latter concert, organizers shied away from rock bands for several years, and established guidelines for "family-friendly" acts and a ban on alcohol brought in by patrons. Other Summerfest attractions include comedy acts, shopping vendors, fireworks (including "The Big Bang" on opening night), other special attractions, family activities and more. If you're seeking proof that all American music leads to rock, look no further than this year's headliner lineup for Summerfest's M&I Classic Rock Stage. SEE LINEUP The blues? Doesn't get bluesier than B.B. King. Album rock? The Moody Blues and Yes have their pictures next to that definition in the dictionary. Disco? Check - Average White Band. Metal? Blue Oyster Cult will make sure there's sufficient cowbell. New Wave? The B-52's have the whole skinny-tie thing covered. And if in case there's anything missing, parody master Weird Al Yankovic probably has an app, and a song, for that. Summerfest 2010 runs June 24 to July 4.

Counterculture Hero
Hopper was catapulted into the pantheon of countercultural celebrities that included John Lennon, Abbie Hoffman and Timothy Leary Dennis Hopper, the maverick director and costar of the landmark 1969
counterculture film classic "Easy Rider" whose drug- and alcohol-fueled
reputation as a Hollywood bad boy preceded his return to sobriety and a
career resurgence in the films "Hoosiers" and "Blue Velvet,".A frail-looking Hopper, whose battle with prostate cancer was revealed in October, was able to attend a ceremony for the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in late March. In a more than five-decade acting career that was influenced early on by working with James Dean and studying at the Actors Studio, he made his film debut as one of the high school gang members who menace Dean in the 1955 classic "Rebel Without a Cause." Hopper went on to appear in more than 115 films, including "Apocalypse Now," "Cool Hand Luke," "Giant," "Hang 'Em High," "Rivers Edge," "Rumble Fish," "Speed," "The American Friend," "True Grit" and "True Romance." But it's his role as the long-haired, pot-smoking biker Billy opposite Peter Fonda's Wyatt (Captain America) in the hit movie "Easy Rider" that gave Hopper his most enduring claim to fame. The low-budget tale of two bikers on an ultimately tragic cross-country odyssey after scoring a big cocaine sale, "Easy Rider" became a generational touchstone. The movie, which boasted a star-making performance from a little-known Jack Nicholson as a boozy small-town lawyer who goes along for the ride and gets his first taste of marijuana, set old-guard Hollywood back on its heels. "The impact of 'Easy Rider,' both on the filmmakers and the industry as a whole, was no less than seismic," Peter Biskind wrote in his 1998 book "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-And-Rock 'n' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood." Hopper died Saturday May 29, 2010. He was born May 17, 1936 Hopper died at his home in California Saturday morning after a long battle with cancer. His publicist said he was surrounded with family and friends at the time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Planet Green interviews Cindy Planet Green: The oil spill in
the Gulf of Mexico is, of course,
a horrific assault on the eco-system but it just may be a window
through which the anti-war movement can better link up with the green
movement. What connections do you see between these two movements?Cindy Sheehan: We are waging two big wars for oil, and many smaller wars throughout the world (South America, Africa) and to me, it has always been a no-brainer that the U.S's addiction to war can be linked to our addiction to oil. Even in 1933, Major General Smedley Butler wrote in War is a Racket: "I made Mexico, especially Tampico safe for U.S. oil interests...In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested." Now President Obama has called out SWAT teams to the recent catastrophe in the Gulf—it seems like oil companies drive our foreign policy more than any real or perceived physical threat. PG: You suggested we "boycott BP into bankruptcy" but the U.S. consumes about 21 million barrels of oil per day and10,000 gallons of gasoline are burned in the U.S. every second. How do we inspire Americans to kick the oil habit? CS: Also, BP gave Obama 71,000 for his presidential campaign and Senator Mary Landrieu of Lousiana is the Queen of Big Oil—that's why we down here in our stratosphere need to be more responsible non-consumers of petroleum products. I hope the environmental movement and anti-war movement can work together to educate people about the insidiousness of this cancer that is destroying or severely compromising our existence on this planet. If one must use gas, I would suggest shopping at CITGO if possible, because Chavez does do some good with the money, but to me, that's even a bad solution. Just reduce personal oil consumption as much as possible. PG: The U.S. Department of Defense is the largest polluter on the planet—producing more hazardous waste than the five largest U.S. chemical companies combined—and this country's military is also top gas guzzler in the world. With such a growing awareness of all things "green," how can we better spread the word that war (and the preparation for war) is a major assault on our eco-system? CS: I think one of the best things that we can do is look into economic conversion of the defense industry into green industries working on sustainable and renewable forms of energy—and/or connect with indigenous people who are trying to reclaim their lands from the pollution of the military industrial complex. There's also a Superfund site in San Francisco called Bayview/Hunter's Point where the Navy gave toxic land to the city of San Francisco, which then sold it to Lennar Corp for a dollar. The best thing to do would be to start on a very local level to reclaim a planet healthy for life. PG: In the time since your son's death, you have been on a journey that I'd guess you could've never seen coming. What has been the biggest surprise over the past six years? CS: Democrats and Republicans are equally corrupt and are both working against our interests. PG: Did you have any advice or inspiration you'd like to share with Planet Green readers seeking to create change? CS: Don't think change has to be made in huge increments—start in your own life and home—then spread around peace and green as far and wide as you can!

CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite allegedly collaborated with
anti-Vietnam War activists in the 1960s, going so far as to offer
advice on how to raise the public profile of protests and even pledging
CBS News resources to help pull off events, according to FBI documents
obtained by Yahoo! News.
The documents, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request,
say that in November 1969, Cronkite encouraged students at Rollins
College in Winter Park, Fla., to invite Maine Sen. Edmund Muskie to
address a protest they were planning near Cape Kennedy (now known as
Cape Canaveral). Cronkite told the group's leader that Muskie would be
nearby for a fundraiser on the day of the protest, and said that "CBS
would rent [a] helicopter to take Muskie to and from site of rally,"
according to the documents.
The claims are contained in an FBI memo recounting a confidential informant's report on a November 1969 meeting of a Rollins College protest group called Youth for New America. The group was planning rallies near Cape Kennedy on Nov. 13 and 14 — the latter being day of the Apollo 12 launch from Cape Kennedy, which President Nixon would be attending — as part of a nationwide Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam. That protest action culminated in a huge march on Washington on Nov. 15. According to the informant, the group's leader (whose name is redacted in the documents) told the attendees that during a visit to a local CBS News station to drum up publicity for the protests, he ended up in a 45-minute phone conversation with Cronkite. "[Redacted] told group he had been to CBS Channel Six in Orlando prior to meeting to speak to newsmen about Vietnam moratorium activities. [Redacted] related that while at TV station, Walter Cronkite, nationally known radio and television commentator, spoke to him by telephone for approximately forty five minutes and that Cronkite reportedly told [redacted] that CBS would have thirty six hours of coverage on Vietnam moratorium with 'open mike' to give demonstrators a chance to be heard. Cronkite noted, according to [redacted], that Senator Edmund Muskie would be in Orlando, Fla., November 13 instant for Democratic fund raising dinner. According to [redacted], Cronkite suggested that [redacted] attempt to Muskie to come [sic] to Cape Kennedy to speak at Kelly Park rally to be held November thirteen instant. Cronkite allegedly told [redacted] that CBS would rent helicopter to take Muskie to and from site of rally at Kelly Park." Just nine months before, Cronkite had delivered his famous on-air judgment that the "bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate." Even so, such tight collaboration between a news organization and the anti-war movement — particularly the offer of CBS News resources to help ferry a sitting senator and future presidential candidate around in opposition to the war — was highly unusual and would presumably have been explosive if known widely at the time. It's unclear whether Muskie ever actually attended the event. Chip Cronkite, Walter Cronkite's son, told Yahoo! News it's highly unlikely that his father would ever have made such an offer. "It doesn't have the ring of a reliable story to me," he said. "Particularly at a time when FBI informants often told the FBI what they wanted to hear. I think it would be outside of what we know about Walter Cronkite and CBS News' practices." A CBS News spokesman declined to comment. The memo is included in 72 pages of FBI files pertaining to Cronkite that were recently released by the bureau. The FBI claimed late last year, two months after Cronkite's death in July 2009, that all its records on the newsman had been destroyed in 2007 — which raised suspicions that the FBI may have deliberately shredded embarrassing files on its surveillance of journalists during the Cold War. The new records appear to be from files that didn't focus specifically on Cronkite's activities but that included mentions of the newsman. Among the other incidents in the newly released documents are a 1966 criminal investigation into CBS News for allegedly airing obscene language during coverage of civil-rights unrest in Mississippi; applications for Cronkite and others to travel to Cuba and China; and surveillance files on subjects who met with or were interviewed by Cronkite. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Put your banner on our pages FREE

Political
protests take countless forms. The hunger strike and the wildcat strike. The protest march and the protest song. The sit-in and the petition. They all have their place in history for combating the powerful. But none match the splendidly photogenic, questionably effective, sometimes delicious and always ludicrous act of throwing a pie in the face of authority. "It's the simplest form of political message," said Patrick Robert - also known as Pop Tarte - the founder of Montreal-based Les Entartistes, Canada's most active pie protest group. Last Monday, in an attack that Robert said could reinvigorate the 40-year-old form of protest, an animal-rights activist pied Federal Fisheries Minister Gail Shea square in the face. Liberal MP Gerry Byrne called the act "akin to terrorism," a comparison Robert said was, well, half-baked. "If it is seen as a terrorist act, the terrorists have won," he said. Then, on Friday, a seal-hunt protester in Newfoundland was pied in the face by someone who supports the hunt. The flying pies have placed Shea and Friday's victim, in the company of the famous and infamous. Canadian victims alone include some of the most powerful political luminaries of the past 20 years, with names such as Chretien, Charest, Dion, Klein, Pettigrew, Rock and Parizeau peppering the list. While some targets, such as former health minister Allan Rock, laughed the incident off, others seemed less amused. Former Liberal leader Stephane Dion pressed charges when he was pied in 1999 by Robert. Shea's attacker has also been charged. When former prime minister Jean Chretien got a face full of custard at an event in Charlottetown in 2000, some law-enforcement officials called it a sign of rising civil disobedience not seen since the anti-war protests of the 1960s. Several political pie-throwing cabals exist around the world, including Les Entartistes and the Meringue Marauders from Canada, the Biotic Baking Brigade and Al Pieda from the United States and Internationales Patissiere from Belgium. Many of the groups sprang to life after a 1998 attack on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates by more than 30 cream commandos. Their attack, which left pie covering the computer magnate's glasses and shoulders, seemed to reheat the pie as a protest tool. Since then, high-profile targets have included conservative political pundit Ann Coulter, Swedish King Carl Gustaf, former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown and actor Sylvester Stallone. Tracing the history of pie throwing, much is owed to cinema. The pie in the face is a slapstick gag dating back to silent films, and popularized by Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges. It has been comedic gold for nearly a century. In 1969, Belgian artist Noel Godin, who led the 1998 Gates mission, used a protest pie for the first time against another artist. But in 1970, it became political. Thomas Forcade, the founder of the marijuana-promoting High Times magazine, pied Otto Larsen, the chairman of a U.S. federal commission on obscenity. In 1973, the most celebrated North American pie protester, the "Pie Man" Aron Kay flung his first pastry. In an interview with Canwest News Service, he described pieing as "a form of character assassination." "Pies smash your demeanor, they take you down a notch," said the Winnipeg-born Kay. "The only thing that gets hurt is your ego." Kay has several high-profile hits, including political commentator William F. Buckley, former CIA director William Colby and artist Andy Warhol. Of Kay's 40 or so strikes, his greatest, he said, was nailing G. Gordon Liddy, one of the central figures of the 1972 Watergate scandal. On the day Liddy was paroled in 1977, Kay borrowed a jacket and tie, strolled nonchalantly into the luxurious Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., and hit Liddy with an apple pie. "In honor of mother America," Kay said. ![]() Some times a joint is as affective as a pie. Mayor Ed Koch of NYC gets pot smoke at a ritzy party in NYC in Feb. 1979 Kay, 60, retired from pieing since 1992, was introduced to a new generation when the Simpsons satirized him in 2004, enhancing his legend. He remains a vehement supporter of the movement. "I am issuing a fatwa against Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and others of that ilk," he said, referring to two of the most controversial conservative commentators in the U.S. "The pies must fly!" |
