🏳️‍⚧️ Josie Wars: Episode XXL - Rise of Riesman

Was just gonna say. This is why I demand that my endnotes be in every edition of my books

The playful, prolific use of hyperlinks in online journalism (eg Slate, Pitchfork) didn’t anticipate link-rot. Now so many articles are pock-marked with cryptic allusions that some long-dead link once explained. Weird how quickly a new style comes to feel more archaic than the traditional format

Big time

I’ve always felt that the high esteem Love and Rockets enjoys should have translated to some kind of recognition for Chicano/latin/south American artists, that the next exciting Mexican punk was there waiting to be discovered. That’s not really what happened

CREEM (March 1972)

Hatred of the "Religious Right" I have noted some common comments from callers regarding the "Religious Right," "Christian Right," and "Right-wingers." A few observations: We have an Attorney General who feels justified in using mili- tary-level force on citizens at Waco. We have a Surgeon General who promotes the legalization of drugs. My wife and I have to explain to our kids why their friend Tommy was placed into foster care with a gay couple because he was being "improper- ly home-schooled" (a qualifica- tion under a 1991 San Francisco ordinance). We have a public school dis- trict (SFUSD) which has asked our children, under the guise of "tolerance and understanding," to try homosexual behavior "because it is just as valid a fami- ly behavior as any other." We have a President who, having avoided the draft and a national

conflict with "loathe" for the mili- tary, now sends the military everywhere to be either "the world's cop" or White House wait- ers, depending on the situation at hand. We see a Crime Bill which results in the statutory creation of a National Police Force and the beginning disarmament of the populace, not the criminals. Despite all this, we see a rising hatred toward Christianity and claims of "Right-wing oppres- sion" while trying to create laws which permit all but persons of faith from participating in the political process. Note that only the family-values-oriented organi- zations are under heavy criticism for even trying to participate. Where does this idea come from that all except Christians and Jews should be able to debate or participate in the political process? T.A. Behrens San Francisco, California
