Bob Marley - Crystal Palace - 1980

So there's a limit to what the web can provide.

I've searched but cannot find anything about Bob Marley's last concert in the UK at Crystal Palace in 1980. No mp3s. No pics. Nothing. That's a shame, because I'd love to see some photos. It was the first concert I went to. Oh well.

A quick look through Yahoo photo groups, Flickr, all the blog searches and Google made me realise how much the context of the web is firmly grounded in the present. It's all, 'look what I've done today'. Not much of 'look what I did 25 years ago'. I'm sure there's a market for this kind of thing. Retro-blogging?

Anyway, it was a great concert. I wish I'd taken some photos, but we didn't have cameras in those days. And my teenage hormones were too wrapped in the girls I went with. Oh to be 17 again... Sounds like mid-life crisis. Perhaps it's time to buy a sports car.

4 D

Welcome to the fourth dimension! Sadly tho'...

"humans cannot process information in four dimensions directly because we don't see the universe that way. Although mathematicians can work with a fourth dimension abstractly by adding a fourth coordinate to the three that we use to describe a point in space, a fourth spatial dimension is difficult to visualize. For that, models are needed."

Well, where I live, 4D is a kind of lottery too.

'Further' Kesey sell out....

First, you should read 'Electric Kool-Aid acid test' by Tom Wolfe...

And 'Storming Heaven' by Jay Stevens...

There's a host of stars....

Albert Hofman, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, Jack Kerouac, Alan Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, Ken Kesey, Owsley Stanley, Hunter S Thompson, William S Burroughs, Cary Grant...

Then you'd cringe (as I do) about this travesty of the 'acid test'... Key-Z Productions Home Page

Liars' Brains Wired Differently

Yeah... liars brains are wired so that they don't feel remorse (whatever that is):

"A USC study has found the first proof of structural brain abnormalities in people who habitually lie, cheat and manipulate others... researchers used Magnetic Resonance Imaging to explore structural brain differences between the groups. The liars had significantly more “white matter” and slightly less “gray matter” than those they were measured against"

Church of Reality

Not a bad idea...

"The Church of Reality is a religion based on the practice of Realism, believing in everything that is real. Our motto is, "If it's real, we believe in it." Since no one knows all of reality, the Church of Reality is about the pursuit of reality the way it really is. We commit to being intellectually honest with ourselves and with others so that we can cut through the mythology. We want to know about the way things really are in the real world."

I wonder if they have any good rituals...

Nashville Pussy

Nashville Pussy are a band. They've been around a while, but I've just 'discovered' them. What I like about them is the confusing 'mixed messages' they send out. Kind of 'Dukes of Hazard' meet Thrash metal Punk. The confederate flag with cleavage, alcohol induced violence. Shock-horror. Hmmm....

Hell, that's crap. Just check out the vid...Nashville Pussy - Go Motherf***ker go er... nsfw

Kill Toby

You've probably seen the site that's holding a bunny called Toby to ransom... Click for SaveToby.com Toby's kidnapper has been threatening to boil the bunny for months. Yawn.

It now seems like he's postponed the execution to make a bit more cash out of it....Yaaaawwwwnn. He's been selling T-shirts, mugs and baseball caps... Sell out.

Well, we've got bored of waiting for Toby to get casserolled. Stew the bunny now, I say! And here are a bunch of non-vegetarians who agree with me... Click for KillToby.com (actually, it's almost certainly a site set up by the kidnapper pretending to be tough - wimp that he is). Just get it over with.

Patata Chef

A vending machine that cooks and dispenses freshly fried chips (french fries if you're a yank). It'll even add salt & ketchup. The blurb's a bit 'over-the-top'...

"It works like a clean and small sophisticated factory with the most absolute respect for the environment, and maintains the hygienic conditions required by edible products, and is equipped to maintain the quality of natural products that are being used."

Yeah, right. It's a huge coin-operated deep-fat-frier. Eeeeewww!
