I guess this means I need to tell my friend not to save the papers anymore? Nah! Don't want to hurt her feelings. I can enjoy the ads(ha ha). Anyway I will come back read more of them, and if I get my own Blog...I will let you know. Of course you probably are too busy to read all the blogs here. Some are hard to read when written in another language. Anyway, keep up the great work. <BR/> ~Bud~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27656403.post-1147977529341001872006-05-18T14:38:00.000-04:002006-05-18T14:38:00.000-04:00Wow! Now I can talk back to Steve!!And, by previou...Wow! Now I can talk back to Steve!!<BR/>And, by previous agreement, he doesn't have to read what I say!!<BR/>Well, I love the MC (Motor City) 5, and I had their vinyl record, but gave away my billion dollar record collection because my ears are too sensitive for vinyl, and because I am an idiot. Anyway, I bought the album on cd, for three times what the vinyl had cost. And the original words were not "Kick out the jams, brothers and sisters!" They were "Kick out the jams, *************!". Anyway, I am not old enough, but I heard from my grandparents that hippies throughout Michigan went around saying, "Two joints, man, two joints!!!!". We (they) all knew that Sinclair was in fact a political prisoner. (The FBI had a way of planting pot when they needed to bust, say, an underground newspaper, and the courts had a way of sending political activists away to prison for carrying two joints.) We (they) also went around talking about busting John Sinclair out of the prison in the UP. After all, the MC5 needed its spiritual advisor. Well, he got out without our help. So that leaves Michigan. Michigan birthed many bands, not to mention Mo (Motor) town!!!! And James Osterberg, aka Iggy Pop, grew up there...see I WANT MORE, Iggy's autobiography. And it birthed at least one political movement, the SDS, which was born in Port Huron Michigan with "The Port Huron Papers". The hard core eventually became the Weathermen (after the Dylan song) and then the Weather Underground, for obvious reasons (they went underground). OK, enough for today. Thanks Sweet, Smart Steve for letting me "ramble" - Ramblin' Rose, another MC5 Great Hit. Cedar Elk, aka Jenn from da UP...also part Ottawa by blood. See all the connections here! There are more - me, Sue, Steve, music, Ojibwas, underground newspapers...But, ciau for now.CedarElkWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207977801641044165noreply@blogger.com
