So here you go. enjoy, prime -30- PUBLISHER'S COLUMN Here you'll find out why we went for a first draft which scooped this zine and etc., any further questions or misunderstandings should be directed to: ati@etext.org issue 319. Hmmm. half of this is already on atlanta imc because coyote wanted me to put moebus' part one poem up so he could get the other two right next to it. So what else is there besides this column, hmm more numbers, a couple letters and stuff? Well, a whole lot of whatever I guess. I betcha when I get home the zine finishes itself in about an hour. Maybe I'll spend the rest of the weekend marking up html from 5 or 10 issues like I should have done weeks or months ago. Yeah. So you must call this a column. Should I make it column length? Hmmm. Maybe I should have an intro, a large body and a summary at the end that brings you back to the intro for an efficient ending. Like a traditional column, the kinds you find syndicated all over the world by middle aged upper middle class white men mostly and a few assorted others here and there dotted across each hemisphere, each paid between 40 and 140 bucks a week to write "on deadline." Yeah, what am I Miles Davis or something? Bring you back to the intro for a nice tidy comprehendible ending?? What, ever. You get a bonafide rant. You'll know how long it is when you get to the end. Me too. That's just how it is. That's how it's always been, right? What is and what should never be. Listen, I'm sitting in a coffee shop hearing my friend Jon sing a Zeppelin song accompanying himself on a 12-string guitar. Now's the time, the time is now... Ramble on. Yeah. ==== GRAFITI - Disco Still Sucks. ==== Jon's doing a Radiohead song now.There were many in between, but this one really got my attention. Call that a concert review I guess, eh? Ladies and Gendarmes, the world's shortest, sporadickest, strangest, spontaneousest show review you're ever seen. ==== Trivia question: No, wait. Trivia answer. No question. World's largest yeast factory ever was right on the fox river. Yup. Green Bay, Wisconsin. No wonder Nixxon condemned that river! ==== I guess I'll end this column with a quote. Yeah, I know you're used to things beginning with a quote. So call this the beginning and the beginning the end. Tell yourself you're satisfied with that. So there.

Will anyone still care about what happened before September 11? About how much the President knew and when he knew it? Will anyone still care about Enron and its links to the Oval Office? Or last year's energy "crisis" in California? When it is "proven" than Sadaam is "responsible," who will challenge the launch of massive military force against (and the "liberation" of ) Iraq? Will the Democrats maintain control of the Senate in the 2002 Congressional elections? What would happen to the barely renascent peace, justice, and anti-globalization movements? In recent days, The Agenda has suffered a number of annoying setbacks: a failed coup in Venezuela; a defeat in the Senate on ANWR; and another on "fast track". And now, allegations and revelations surface about who knew what and what they did and did not do prior to September 11. The media and the Democrats are starting to get uppity again. Apparently forgotten are the Superstar anchors and senior Loyal Oppositionists in the Days of the White Mist late last September. Things are getting fuzzy. The American people are getting unfocused. Just like they were on September 10. They are getting just like all those flags put up in those exciting days way back then. Put up and left up and out -- in the rain, in the dark, on car antennae and out windows and on roofs. The Focus of the People is becoming frazzled and faded, and ragged and tattered, and shredded, unraveled, and tired. They've even stopped singing "God Bless America" at baseball games. Please consider for a moment the following obscene question: What will be the impact of a second major terrorist attack against the United States in the near future? - J Moebus Short ARA poem: Friends don't let friends become nazis PLEASE PEEK AT THE PHOLLOWING PWEBSITE. (yeah, I know; the pee is silent) http://palestine.indymedia.org/process/about.php I'm of the opinion that this page should be listed next to canonical classics such as orwell's "why I write" and homer's "odyssey" Poem - We hate to love each other We love to hate each other and we hate to hate each other but we fear it's just not possible to love to love each other That my friend Is the matrix Any who say we are not in it are lying or unaware. Is anyone else aware that common courage press just got their assets frozen right before publishing a book about enron? http://www.commoncouragepress.com/currentpressrelease.cfm (I just found out this morning) I haven't even had a first cup of coffee yet. An acquaintance of mine just found out his newest book won't be able to go to a next printing because Bank One froze the assets of Common Courage Press. This comes at a very unusual moment. Perhaps Common Courage didn't know that a different book they were about to publish might just in fact be the killing blow for Enron. They're also distributing "Merchants of Misery," which mentions Bank One. Perhaps none of us noticed, but the US GNP seems to be tied directly to Enron's caligulaic success. Perhaps a big enough devastation at ArthurEnrondersonMicrosoftAOLTimeWestinghaus is in danger of dismantling the entire mafia that is the Untied States "government." I use that term loosely; we are being governed by thugs. Of course the thug-in-chief is unabashed about his prior cocaine use, and he probably sits smug about the fact that Secret Service are always sworn to secrecy about what I'm sure is current cocaine use; and you can quote me on that. I've yet to see him "in the act," but all the signs are there. Did you hear how out of breath he was yesterday? No one said he jogged or anything. His heart was racing like he just popped three black beauties. And I'm sure bush isn't a speed freak. That is "so uncouth" and below him. How long IS his pinky fingernail these days? But I digress. George W Bush's corruption is very unimportant to me at this moment. Bank One is a motherfucker. I don't use that term lightly. Where's the outrage in any of this? I can mention some local flavor about Bank One (or Banc One they like to call themselves around Switzerland and other parts) that maybe ought to be explored a bit. Marquette University is pretty vested and invested in Arthur Anderson. They've been trying to reposition things a bit ever since the whole Enron fiasco started vibrating. I wonder how many holdings they might have in Bank One? Bank One brokered a silent anonymous donation of $5000 a few months ago to a small homeless shelter I volunteer at. No strings attached, no relationships. Just that one of their customers would like to send us that gift anonymously. We accepted it, since no strings were attached. Or were there? Was it really a customer? Or was someone in the employ of Bank One shifting things around a bit? We'll probably never find out. But I'd like to know. Bank One is somehow entangled in a scandal at one of the other shelters around town. I don't know all the ins and outs and there's not a lot going around beyond rumor and innuendo, so I won't go into any great detail. But I will say that last night I went to bed thinking Bank One might be one of the "good guys" in this mess; but I woke up this morning, before coffee even, wondering if maybe Banc One hasn't spent the last year getting fully taken over by reactionary right wing lunatic fringe people working directly for George W Bush and his Houston, Texas/ New Haven, Connecticut criminals. I think I'll ask my local mayor to ask all the other mayors next month if they realize what a bunch of misfits their local Bank One people are. marco http://www.beloitdailynews.com/101/1ill18.htm http://www.commoncouragepress.com/naderactions.cfm http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO202C.html http://www.idg.net/english/crd_quaker_762079.html And now, a word about Bimbo Baked Bread. Bimbo. Pan Enriquecido. OK, more than one word. A few words, phrases, sentences. Paragraphs really. Here. Read up on Bimbo: (no! we're NOT making this up) Ingredientes: harina enriquecida (haraina de trigo, malta, niacina, hierro, monotrato de tiamina, riboflavina, acidofolico) agua, jarabe de alta fructosa, levadura, aceite de soya (no hidrogenado), sal, puede contenermenos del 2% de los siguientes: gluten de trigo, harina de soya, acondicionadores de masa (esteaorillactilato de sodio, monogliceridos, enzimas, acido ascorbico), nutrientes para levadura (sulfato de amonio, fosfato monocalcico), peroxido de calcio, propionato de calcio (para mantener frescura) y sulfato de calcio Beacause DIVA LAS VEGAS is about to happen, we bring you something we'd cut from ATI two years ago. Yeah, didn't make the grade. But You'll see little has changed in all this time, hence this two year old rant is perhaps more valid than ever before. There's one reason I watch vh1's 100 greatest women in rock, as part of the borrrrrring Divas Week III in 3d. Susan Sarandon. I can't think of a better voice to host this otherwise washed up old tired worn out idea. She lives what she believes, and believes what she lives. Hearing her honor women in any way carries more weight than anything some middle aged ASCAP payola geek could ever do. I just hope wymyn rokkers can go past this, and past "oh, ok, a chick band, we don't have to pay 'em as much, fine..." and get out there and kick some serious "butt." God knows the Republican Rock & Roll industry needs it. Stevie Nicks, now why isn't SHE a "Diva?" And my first thought when I heard of Divas 3 in 3d, I mean D2000, was where's stevie, where's Dar Williams, where's Jess Klein? You're missing something great people, it's called inspiration, it's called music, it's called art. These wymyn got it, Susan Sarandan's got. But what is "it?" Certainly not... Neutrogena, a big bummer. Playtex, show them a 14 year old girl wearing almost nothing, then show them a baby in a diaper, they'll drool and buy stuff, and won't even know why, you'll see. Claritin, use only if you're not allergic to cocaine, marijuana, lsd or hydrochloric acid. Ask your doctor if you are pregnant, underweight, or sensitive to light. Most common side effects are gear ratio, trugreen chem lawn, chills, anal leakage and porn. ok You know, I can't stand Patsy Cline, am I alone in this? She's like a Mary Ford wannabe. Why is she ahead of Debbie Harry? Often I forget this is a popularity contest, not an indication of talent, eh? Carol King can move my earth anyday. She sings her own songs. Now that's class. It's pretty clear Cheryl Crow wants to be Carole King, huh? Alanis too. Can you say photocopy with some of the toner used up? Oh, Ronnie Spector, I knew I should've lifted that barf bag from Midwest Express. I wonder what would have happened if Alan Freed and Ronnie Spector got married. It wouldn't be Bill Gates we'd be going after right now, would it??? Annie Lennox. No offense. Very talented but boring me to tears. She's REM, U2 and Flock of Seagulls all mooshed up into a sausage grinder and fed to me in pizza dough, really. Ummm, since when is Henry Rollins some expert on female musicians? Go back to your Dodge Ram truck ads, buster. Chrissie Hynde, now there's about the 3rd best woman musical artist alive. You're all close on callin her 7. Billie Holliday. OK. I'll give her a little credit, but again. Where's Nina Simone? Where's Odetta? Billie's pretty good. I'll give her that. A good victim of her time. He beats me, but Henry Rollins buys me drinks now and then. And Tony Bennet? He lets me tickle his toupe. No David Letterman he. OK, is anyone even doubting who 1-5 are going to be? If they weren't listed as Diva 98, 99 AND 2000 they're not gonna be in this numba are they? Ready for payola central? Word up. Sprint, bullshit so thick you can hear a pin slurp. Like quicksand for your paycheck. Joni Mitchell, awesome, and talented but unlike John Cougar Mellenhead, I'm actually going to be mean. She's no Joan Baez. And don't get me wrong, Baez is kind of a jerk, but give her driven, give her visionary, give her talented, Baez has a little something that Joni Mitchell has well, just a whole lot less of. And if I have to hear Janis Joplin's most embarrassing moment of her entire life one more time I'm going to barf. Listen her best rendition of her best song of her best decade is simply NOT summertime. Get it in your head. Listen to anyone else in this world sing summertime. And listen to Joplin sing absolutely any song other than Summertime. She ain't no porgy and she ain't no bess, but she can sing a hell of a lot better than the song we remember her for tells. Janis Joplin was a storyteller. Janis was a crooner. Janis had soul. Please listen to anything else she sang. In fact, even if you have to hear Mercedez Benz, her second worst song. It'll at least give you an idea of what the lady could do. Let me tell you right now, Big Brother and the Holding Company represents everything this country should have become, and without all the kings horses and all the kings men, Joplin would have been the first lady of soul. Yupper. Elvis, Jimi and Janis, but I'm not talkin bout what you're talking about. Body by Victor. Nice psychadelic music next to naked women, VS! All you will see is curves, and all we will see is dollar signs. Your dollar signs. Aretha Franklin I just never could get into. Of course my dad thought the Beatles were just a bunch of hop heads. So what did I miss? Queen of Soul, ok. OK. But number one female vocalist of all time? Hmmmm. Let me get back to you on... no I'm sure of it. She's good.... she's great, but she's just not "all that." I could have put 25 different people here in #1. Who do we owe favors to? Once again. Where's Jess Klein? Ani Defranco, Dar Williams, where's Stevie Nicks. And what did Nina Simone or Odetta ever do to you? we end this zine with some of Cynthia McKinney's words. Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've been told to "sit down and shut up" over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D) represents Georgia's 4th District. http://www.house.gov/mckinney preguntas y problemas? ati@indymedia.org or soa@thepentagon.com
