Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.
The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
Oh and get the money out of politics

I was in the parling lot at Monterey Pop and ran into two old friends from the drama department at the University of Houston, I asked them what they were up to and they said managing a rock group, wanna come back stage and meet them. In their dressing room I met the band and their lead singer, she offered a few hits from her whiskey bottle as they went on stage and I out into the crowd to witness Janis and Big Brother. Magic was in the air!
Speaking of back stage whiskey. Somehow I ended up backstage at a Doors concert in San Jose in 1968. Jim Morrison was slinking around in his leather pants and no shirt and offered me his whiskey bottle. He called me “little girl”. It was a memorable experience for sure.
by all accounts (and I'm talking people like Bruce Botnick), he was quite an asshole. the late Eve Babitz wrote in a few places that she'd been his girlfriend before The Doors happened and that his whole deal was that he'd grown up as a fat kid, lost a lot of weight one summer by the usual means and was thereafter inclined to believe his own press.
I was a Doors fan for the first six months after the album came out, was very excited by their Fillmore East debut but for me, they lost their bloom …
He was widely known in LA as a supreme asshole. I do, however, have one good memory: in early October 1967, Sigma Chi Fraternity at Fullerton State College down in deepest Orangutang County, put on a concert with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Doors. It was held in the school gym, with a "stage about 7' x 5', a whole 3' high, and the audience sat in folding metal chairs. The Brothers - all wearing crew cuts, blue blazers with white shirts and regimental ties, tan slacks and Oxfords - glared…
I knew Oliver at the time (Platoon and In The Year of the Monkey were at one time for about six weeks in competition to see which one would go to the Philippines first), and told him the story. He even laughed when I got to the punch line. It might have saved the movie, and certainly was an "Oliver Stone joke."
NOTHING could have saved that movie (the Doors one). "Platoon" was a very well-made movie, even if I have some problems with it. I'm willing to bet I would have liked yours more. speaking of which, how can I read it?
still looking for the box that has it. Interestingly, the real guy who was the Charlie Sheen character in Platoon was friend of mine. He was wounded like that, spent a year in hospital, then one day in September 1968, he walked into the Oleo Strut and became one of the "animating presences" among the GIs we were working with. He was later the National President of Veterans for Peace for many years, active everywhere. Fought drug addiction stemming from all the morphine they gave him from the wo…
