Waldemar &al:
I wonder how many on this list are old enough to remember the last
"counter-culture" in the 1960s (and what they were doing then)? In
the summer of 1969, a new "underground" newspaper -- Madison
Kaleidoscope -- launched in Madtown, WI, when I was about to enter my
senior year at UW-Mad (majoring in evolutionary genetics and Buddhist
theology), at roughly the same time that I married my high-school
sweetheart, Laura Hanson at the local Frank Lloyd Wright Unitarian
Church (a Norwegian descendant, whose father was the top ICC lawyer in
the state, with a swimming pool in their back yard on the Westside.)
Within a few months, I would be arrested for assisting in the design
of an underground drug laboratory (yes, I was talented at organic
synthesis, or what today would be called "cooking") -- with police
knocking down my backdoor in the middle of the night and held in
solitary confinement -- then declared innocent, since the drugs
involved were still legal (with all records expunged, thanks to the
help of Laura's father), only to have the FBI files resurface when I
was fingerprinted for my job on Wall Street in 1985. Those were fun
times . . . <g>
It began with a *Manifesto: Toward a New Culture* which had this to say --
I. The myth is that the American People are not paying for their share
of Imperialism. They are paying on Lake Mendota [where I used to sail
and ice-skate] where sunburned men in their forties get hardons
revving up their speedboats . . .
II. "Politics" is near-dead, poisoned like the fish in Wisconsin
rivers -- all the oil and sewage and chemicals of Twentieth Century
Progress poured into their veins. When SDS [the local NCLC chapter of
which I would later start] talks "politics" we wait for the Now We
Know About America speech . . .
III. We want a Movement which flows from our lives. American
Capitalism says Bourgeois Sentimentality and a Quick Fuck; we say
madlove and genital embrace, for hours, weeks months . . .
IV. We want a Movement which flows from our lives. The dance of life
in a bicycle parade [I would also later found the Yellow Jersey
Bicycle Coop, my comrades having rejected my suggestion of "Hammer &
Cycle"] not the Dance of Death in the ballet of police clubbing
gassing fearing/hating . . .
V. We want a Movement which flows from our lives. We WILL have
something more fundamental than voting/masturbating and IN OUR
LIFETIMES . . .
PANHISTORIC PREVISION - TOWARD A NEW CULTURE.
Let our Movement inscribe on society's diaphragms and skyscrappers:
WE WILL BRING TO BIRTH A NEW WORLD FROM THE ASHES OF THE OLD
DOUCHE-BAGS, TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES, AUTOMOBILE GRAVEYARDS AND
CROSSYOUR HEART BRAS. We will create a New Culture as we prepare for
Revolution, finding allies in those sectors -- notably the blacks and
industrial working class families -- most capable of realizing
themselves in and for the collective tasks ahead. We have begun to
appear in a thousand guises across the world from the Red Guard [today
I'm working with the Chinese government, composed largely of those
sent to the country-side by the Red Guards] to the American
Underground [likely referring to the Weathermen, a leader of which was
accused of supporting Barack Obama]. WE ARE THE TROJAN HORSE OF OUR
TIMES. WE RIP OFF TROJANS [referring to the brand of condoms].
"Transform the World," said Marx.
"Change the Mind," said Rimbaud [about whom Marshall McLuhan, who
rejected Marxism at Cambridge, instead wound up studying the French
Symbolists]
"These are equally necessary for us to perform. Andre Breton [the
surrealist, a poet from a very different paradigm]
