Everyone Will Be famous for 15 Minutes “I never know what I'm going to put on the canvas. The canvas paints itself. I'm just the middleman.”- Peter Max  "America  is the canvas, throw up as much paint as you can. We are  just the middlemen"-Ed Reif The Power of Myth The myth that  REAL artists don’t make money is the wrong myth. Pop Artist Peter Max is no miraculous exception--He  is having his 70 something-ith  birthday this week onboard the Celebrity Solstice. Optimistic, generous, and naive, that's the German-American Dreamer  in a nutshell. He isn't the industry standard- He's industrial painting; churning and burning cotton-candy, Art-Nouveau-ish  limited   editions---the inedible raised to the unspeakable, funk and Junk. The copies are  better than the originals.... from Xerox to Infinity. The man who mass-produced the decade(s)  even has Cosmic iPhone Aps , Max  has more game than Milton Bradley.   I had a confer...

Wake up kids/ We've got the dreamers disease . You 've got a reason to live / Can't forget  you only get what you give   New Radicals- You Get What You Give Cruise Ships are the new Golden Gate Bridges Putting the SIN in the sincerest form of criticism life can get- Why kill yourself? Life will do it for you  The earth school kills all of its students, eh? Suicide is man's way of telling God, "You can't fire me - I quit..."  so is jumping off the Carnival Splendor. One of the Assistant Waiters, 27 years old,  was seen shouting into a cell phone, throwing it overboard in disgust, then jumping to his death. Ouch. Taking your own life really kills 2 ppl's souls in this case, the chick he was arguing with too. I just couldn’t live with myself knowing I had just killed myself. Sure, 9 out of 10 ppl are would-be suicidal maniacs.But, it's the  permanent solution to  temporary problems.

I'm stuck in the 1980's with Phil Collins "Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day / For you, you and me in paradise" resonating against , Neil Young's Cortez "He came dancing across the water/With his galleons and guns/Looking for the new world/In that palace in the sun" Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones.

And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I still can't remember when Or how I lost my way.

Malibu is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. Talk may be cheap but intelligent conversation is very expensive these days. Ask anyone with a kid in college.Here at Pepperdine,a  dry campus-no one is maintaining a perfect 4.0 blood alchol level, or majoring in Beer. T he only thing that interferes with student's learning is their education.

Das Boot  The power of (my) intention to have a good time is the lyrics for the Beatle's song---Yellow Submarine "Embracing the life forced upon me" to stay in hotel rooms and live under pressure = Submarine. Because I have been  having a great time it is  Yellow (friends are all aboard). Sea of green = money. Time to surface----I need a vacation from this permenent  vacation . Hell is other people, and you usually find them on the buffet line of a Carnival Fun ship.(Their favorite food is Seconds). The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Wall-Mart of the cruise industry, pay less and have more fun,  isn't so funny anymore. Freedom is what you do to  what has been done to you- I quit. So we sailed on to the sun / Till we found a sea of green / And we lived beneath the waves / In our yellow submarine ...

“There must be some kind of way out of here,” Said the joker to the thief.  Now that 10.10.10 is just a 2 days  away-looking forward to the cataclysm! and  Second Coming. Reinventing The Wheel "All Along the Watchtower"  is the audacity  of Dylan's hype at manipulating chronological time: "at the conclusion of the last verse, it is as if the song bizarrely begins at last, and the power of myth began again.  My own  aging is regressive these days, not progressive. I am the Bob Dylan of the fifty-somethings. Growing old isn't optional, growing up is.

In one year and out the other. A year ago today... Space travel sure is fun Greetings from the user-friendly universe---The Peoples Republic of Santa Monica; Home of The Mac Store, and Apple, the forbidden fruit. First in January, I was in the Majik Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a bit like Mars . Then in February, I went to The Land of Smiles , Thailand, and walked on the moon. Finally, in March and April, I had my head in the clouds with The Helium Report, winn ing and losing the American dream in Macau every night, playing high-stakes no limit- poker, on The Hong Kong Express . Leaving Las Vegas In May and June, I got my B aht out of Asia and went back to the United States of Unconsciousness , playing tournament poker in the black holes of Midwest bars and Las Vegas Casinos. Spent the best part of my losing streak.. .in an Army Jeep, from what I can recall. There's that line from Sheryl Crow -Standing in the midd le of the desert waiting for my ship to come in... In July...

Pizza On Earth, Good Will Towards  Renaissance Man Florence (Fierenze) is a beautiful city. I kept saying to myself "Gee it's great to be Roman Catholic, especially in Italy--and I mean anywhere-Rome Sweet Rome, Florence, and even in Pisa.". (Visited three churches today-so I am definitely going to heaven) I had some Chianti, the national beverage, along with a Veggie lasgna for an appetizer. The rest of the meal...well I'll get back to you on that...I had too much wine. Money-centri Florence was the New York of the Middle Ages. The House of Medici, the Godfathers of the Renaissance, funded many of the buildings, statues and paintings that makes this place an Art History 101 class. Seeing Michelangolo's David made me think of going to the gym--his body fat percentage--even in marble is mos def under 10% . WWMD? What Would Machiavelli Do? In the spirit of the law instead of the letter, I thought it would be better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission: No p...
