Got to the 30 minute mark of the Woodstock documentary and my two observations are:

1) All the talking heads are incredibly lame and would totally be backing up Tipper Gore and PMRC in the 80s

2) The Offspring guys got as fat as gently caress, Jesus Christ

I do like how that it starts by pointing out how the original Woodstock was kind of hosed up (violence, drug overdose, deaths) and ended up getting romanticized in the following years, only to keep holding this false Boomer perspective when comparing that festival to the one in 99

wow boomers are right, tits are disgusting.

also msj is right

quote:

And Gravity's Rainbow as a work which, although it was finished and published after the 60s were over, is steeped in a certain kind of 60s, which is not at all the kind that you have probably been force fed for your entire loving life, no matter how young or old you are. This is the remarkable and to me, the more I learn, the more and more sinister and profoundly disturbing aspect of the 1960s, there has been no period in modern human history, perhaps no period in human history period that has been a more rehashed, more show whacked with nostalgic horseshit than the 1960s, especially in America, there is no era that you can more reliably use as the subject of a document or a TV series, or a movie or a book or whatever.

I'm some of you may have seen Ken Burns his recent what was it a nine part documentary on the Vietnam War. I checked out around part four or five, when it became clear that he was only going to interview Americans who said things like, Well, you know, I'm not proud of some of the things we did there, and I don't know if it was right or wrong for us to be there. But, you know, I can't say I'm ashamed of following orders that I was given. Because that was my job. And, you know, I deeply regret what happened to the people in the land of Vietnam. But you know, I can't I can't consider that my personal responsibility.. Oh, you can't? Well, I can. That's, that's exactly what I consider a loving pig. My point being not just to poo poo on Ken Burns, though, someone needs to poo poo on him. Although to judge from his haircut, someone spends all kinds of times making GBS threads on him from above -- naturally.

But to say that the the matter of the 60s, it's like the loving you know, matiere de bretagne, what people in France and sometimes England, called the whole, you know, our Arthurian Grail cycle. The the matter of literally, in that case, Brittany, of the Python Coast from which it migrated to England and Wales, or to which it migrated from England and Wales more likely from what was probably an ancient Welsh religion, a full on cult with it with its own rituals and cosmology. To you know Sir Thomas Mallory and Lamar delta and so forth. In the same sense the matter of the 60s the mati�re soixante is something you can endlessly take as the basis for the most meaningless say nothing vague stupid history channel horseshit you need to fill seven hours do a seven hour blog called �the 60s� and people will watch it, and what they will watch is all sorts of now old man going you know [there was just like a feeling that is something was going on you know you could feel it in the air and it was hard to hard to get a handle on but-but nobody who was there could deny, you know what i mean and then some poo poo about bell bottoms and miniskirts and Woodstock. Which to me is the nadir of the 60s as i may have mentioned before is the moment at which it becomes very very clear to the you know culture industrial complex. �oh we can turn all this into the most bullshit sort of idiot bread and circuses crowd entertainment we can take everything that was genuinely dangerous or subversive about all this and turn it into the loving super bowl halftime show and these dipshit morons will lap it up� as indeed half no more than half a million i want to say it's in its Woodstock has been estimated, you know counting the people who jumped the fence at something like 900,000. It's maybe the most talked about cultural event from the most talked about decade in american history. i mean VH1 back in the day which was not exactly a channel full of in depth programming, did loving you know for hours on Woodstock. I remember having to listen to the assholes who planned it; who are of course now you know investment bankers or real estate brokers are some poo poo.

Curiously common fate among the hippies and yippies who once liked to fancy themselves �dangerous�. So this is the 60s that we know right? and we know it painfully well, we know it as well as we know anything in the american canon. It has been rammed mercilessly down our throats since we were children and i don't know if i have any listeners who were actually alive during the 60s, who were old enough during the 60s to remember what they were like, but even if i do there's an excellent chance that those people's real memory has been completely deleted and replaced by the astonishing torrent of poo poo that we have managed to produce and reproduce since then. So there is a 60s that you are supposed to believe that right? and i cannot help but think, call me paranoid, that the reason we spend so much time coming up with an official hagia-graphical version of the 60s is because the real version of the 60s is terrifying -- is the most dread ridden period in modern American history. And is so specifically because it was the closest that most Americans living then, and you know through research, living since have ever gotten or will ever get to observing the actual machinery of power in the process of its action. Because the 60s were when we got that rare rare glimpse of the way things loving work.

...

I mean to me I've probably said this on the show before but to me there's almost nothing more depressing than seeing footage of Woodstock and being told that was some sort of high point in American: you know, the breaking of the wave for the American counterculture as Hunter Thompson would put it; and not the the absolute apogee of proof that everything supposedly countercultural could be co-opted into the simple spending habits of certain focus groups and you know, test marketed taste Publix. I mean, just loving revolting. I can't really stand to think about that very long without getting sick.

That after the horrors of the you know, mid and late 60s in particular, there was this era of liberal retrenchment we fought back. Hey, we ended that loving war. Okay?? After only what 13 years and untold millions dead? We brought down Nixon! well, who's we exactly? You know, we fuckin expose the CIA, we fuckin expose the assassination!. Well, hold on... and those those, what would you call 5-6-7 years have been absolutely critical in the liberal imagination, as delineations of what is still possible -- in first, the late 20th century, and then the early 21st century, because and this is a crucial, crucial point:

When you take phenomena like the endless delusion of bullshit, to which everyone is subjected in this moment, it's going to be very hard to satisfy anyone on the actual left and anyone among the various, you know, insane, religiously multiplying sects of the extreme right. Because there is is no sort of basis upon which to satisfy them. The actual left begins from the proposition that our entire way of, of conducting all sorts of social activity is fundamentally evil, and is correctly so, and the extreme right begins from such an idiosyncratic rainbow of personal grievances, that you're never going to catch them all in the same hall. You know, you need different size nets.

But who can you get? You get liberals. You can always bring the liberals back because in an age of, i would say beyond merely hyper-normalization but something i might call hyper-fictionalization in which it is sort of realized even by the the dimmest bulb that all possible information out there is a form of fiction in one degree or another, and the question is simply of which sort of fiction has enough monetary backing and enough, ultimately when it comes down to it, and military force to abridge the the social awareness of its fictionality.

tbf the doc is structured in a way where it constantly undercuts people like moby when he's going on about how trashy people dont appreciate conscious hiphop and then a lady comes up pointing out how the 90s were really lovely and the audience for three days was drinking nothing but poop water and booze so of course it had to end in the worst way possible

there were possibly a few too many sound effects, I was walking a long a footpath in the pitch black and nearly poo poo myself because I thought there was a cyclist right on top of me when there were some cavalry hooves sounds, but not too bad. I liked the ken burns fiddle music a lot

has anyone managed to get the time for my stories one to load on Google podcasts? the hop feed worked fine but for some reason that one won't load. idk if anyone's had any luck with another app?

i've never tried crab cheese wonton but there's a lot of new chinese dishes that incorporate more western ingredients like cheese. in my experience, chinese cuisine isn't really purist about that poo poo unless you go to a specialist place that bills itself as authentic "traditional"

edit: my uncle is a sous chef at a fancy chinese restaurant and they are constantly trying new things. probably comes with china's new wealth and ability to experiment with new ingredients/styles, even just between regions.

Thanks to this convo I went and got mandarin chicken and some cheese wontons. The chilis in the mandarin chicken were like plastic or something. I think they used dried ones and then somehow overcooked it. I knew I should have just gotten the Mongolian beef. But the wontons pwned of course.

Michael S Judge, he does his one-man (+ sometimes guest) podcast Death is Just Around the Corner. free feed is confusing but ep 1 is actual ep 67, and then goes premium-only after ep 83.

it's primarily about Pynchon and the era that influenced him, the lameness of the beatnik/hippy era, allen dules and their ilk, cia, hoovers, nixon, watergates, and modern reincarnations but also a lot of other topics such as the eikonsphere https://medium.com/@michael.s.judge/the-eikonosphere-c2afc6f4ef1d or just the fourth reich

it's good and pm me for the patreon feed if you didn't want to sub. MSJ is one of my favorite podcast people and he's been on trueanon talking about the Spider Network which also comes up on his show in myriad number of tendrils of the american deep state, and if you didn't listen to those episodes then you should check out TA's Spider Network series.

But... and as much as I love the guy, he has starred far too deep in the abyss for too long and I think his brain is irreparably broken. I don't think he's ever wrong especially when you zoom out and look at modern american history of the past say 80-90 years and all the machinations of evil, but one could definitely say it's conspiratorial brain at times.

I feel like in Time for My Stories it should have been Matt leading it and Felix just doing the jokes and commentary, instead of the other way around.

Judging from his MMA documentary Felix can do good things if it's 100% scripted, but he can't really be a Will (which is what he was trying to do in Time for My Stories).
