comment: 1969, mostly drug induced hallucinations. I do remember
a night in the Texas Panhandle when a comet; a night drive in
the flourescent orange old scout that buggsy was at the helm of.
We were driving to Lubbuck, Texas to be a part of a "Peace
Festival" ( The Southwest, thereof); if I remember at all. As a
younger guy, the rememberance was this great comet in the sky
down there in a wide-open sky. Kahoutek?
Anyone. Confirm this for me.

P.s. Thanks up there in Sheridan, Wyoming, for being MODERATED.

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin
- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business,
time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would
begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my
life."

Alfred D Souza.

THEY'RE REALLY WEARING DOWN UNDER?

Dear Ed
I guess this falls into the category of fashion accessories
It's at www.roopooco.com and it's an Aussie site I've found that
sells washable, coated koala bear poo earrings. I didn't believe
it so I contacted them and they said that they're soon going to
be offering gilded ones - in gold leaf!! It's great laugh, really
cool.

Government's 50 Greatest Endeavors

For as long as wages have been earned, there have been
governments anxious to tax them. America is no different, and
while the IRS doesn't actually bang on your door at night
demanding gold, they are still happy to take a large percent of
your annual income.

The Brookings Institute recently completed research into our
government's expenditures, over the past fifty years into and
divided them into 'successes' and 'failures'.

Check out their take on the US's greatest achievements,
including fighting diseases, waging war, rebuilding projects and
more. There are a number of cool features on the site, including
a personal survey, results by demographics and a Top Ten list of
our greatest successes.

I just gotta say that reading this newsletter at the beginning of
every month is far out. It absolutely brightens my day.

Remember HAIR:The American Tribal Love/Rock Musical? It finally
went to Broadway in 1968 after playing off Broadway at the
Cheetah Club and at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Remember the
ruckus it caused? Gasp,full frontal nudity on Broadway!!!!

Recently I directed a community theatre production of HAIR. If it
moves you to do so, check out our website at:

You might even wanna vote for your favorite HAIR tune while
you're there.

Keep on keeping on.

"May the humanity that is within every human being be held more
and more precious, and be regarded with ever deepening reverence.
The vice that underlies all vices is that we are held cheap by
others, and far worse, that in our innermost soul we think
cheaply of ourselves."

- Felix Adler

*-*-*-*

"The modern habit of saying, "Every man has a different
philosophy; this is my philosophy and it suits me"--the habit of
saying this is mere weak mindedness. A cosmic philosophy is not
constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to
fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than
he can possess a private sun and moon."

Medicine man Chokecherry Gall Eagle reveals the authentic core of
two powerful Native American teachings. Chokecherry Gall Eagle

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
With graying baby boomers becoming key underwriters of viewer-
supported television, a staid Public Broadcasting System
grudgingly acknowledged the existence of rock & roll in the
1990s. The Moody Blues, via their somewhat heavy-handed, 1993
concert video A Night at Red Rocks, were among the first
Woodstock generation acts to end up in constant rotation during
affiliate pledge drives. The band's PBS follow-up, Hall of Fame,
is an improvement overall. Taped at London's Royal Albert Hall
early in 2000, the Moodies'... read more at...
