JOEY WAS A GOTH
did you know that joey grana of SCOUTLA used to be a goth?
here's proof!
here he is dancing wildly to the safety dance from men without hats.
and here he is with full make-up, drinking some kind of faux absinthe, intoxicated as usual.
SCOUTLA is antebellum gallery's neighbor, one block east on cherokee ave, (across the street from the MASQUE and the little shrine to recently deceased Brendan Mullen.

SOUPY SALES IS DEAD
on another sad note, the original pie-face is dead.....comedian Soupy Sales dies at 83.
October 22, 2009 | 9:18 p.m.
Soupy Sales, the rubber-faced comedian whose anything-for-a-chuckle career was built on 20,000 pies to the face and 5,000 live TV appearances across a half-century of laughs, has died. He was 83.
I have to admit, i thought he was already dead. it was a relief to find out he was still alive, followed by sorrow that now he has passed. i have a special fondness for soupy as i grew up watching THE SOUPY SALES SHOW as a kid. he used to have a puppet called booby. as a child i started to call my mother booby.. then as i got older shorten her name to "B." i still call her this nickname to this very day. "B" is now the ripe ol age of 85.
Sales died at Thursday night at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx, New York, said his former manager and longtime friend, Dave Usher. Sales had many health problems and entered the hospice last week, Usher said.
At the peak of his fame in the 1950s and '60s, Sales was one of the best-known faces in the nation, Usher said.
"If President Eisenhower would have walked down the street, no one would have recognized him as much as Soupy," said Usher.
Sales was born Milton Supman on Jan. 8, 1926, in Franklinton, N.C., where his was the only Jewish family in town. His parents, owners of a dry-goods store, sold sheets to the Ku Klux Klan. The family later moved to Huntington, W.Va.
His greatest success came in New York with "The Soupy Sales Show" -- an ostensible children's show that had little to do with Captain Kangaroo and other kiddie fare. Sales' manic, improvisational style also attracted an older audience that responded to his envelope-pushing antics.
Sales, who was typically clad in a black sweater and oversized bow-tie, was once suspended for a week after telling his legion of tiny listeners to empty their mothers' purse and mail him all the pieces of green paper bearing pictures of the presidents.
Another tidbit of interest, soupy's two sons, Hunt and Tony, a pair of musicians play with David Bowie in the band Tin Machine. READ MORE-

86 YEAR OLD REPUBLICAN VETERAN SUPPORTS GAY MARRIAGE
Philip Spooner is a lifetime Republican, World War II veteran and, to everyone's surprise, a gay marriage supporter. The 86-year-old gave a heartfelt speech in support of gay marriage to Maine's Judiciary Committee back in April, and the video has just now become an internet hit.
Spooner's voice wavers often as he weaves his own life story into the speech, using his experience as a soldier as his main defense for gay marriage. He lists his accomplishments in the war, among them serving in Patton's Third Army and carrying POWs back home, making it clear that he's a true American -- and according to Spooner, there's nothing more American than fighting for equality- READ MORE-

THE SAGA OF MR. HANDS CONTINUES
Two arrested in horse sex case
remember the screening antebellum had last year of ZOO? the doco about the guys in washington who had sex with an arabian stallion and died? well here's an undate... it seems a man who was identified in court papers four years ago as having taken part in a horse-sex party that led to the death of his friend, (mr. hands) is now accused of performing sex acts with a horse at a Maury County farm.
James Michael Tait, 58, 2348 Double Branch Road, was arrested and charged Thursday with three counts of animal cruelty. Kenny Thomason, 44, 2348 Double Branch Road, also faces two counts of the same charge.
“This is one of the most upsetting days I've ever dealt with,” Maury County Sheriff Enoch George said Friday- READ MORE-

SCOTT WALKER- MY DEATH
which version do you like better?
scott walker- 1967
or david bowie- 1973
or bowie- 2007
originally sung by scott walker, (1967)
From the album Sings Jacques Brel
My death is like
a swinging door
a patient girl who knows the score
whistle for her
and the passing time
My death waits like
a bible truth
at the funeral of my youth
weep loud for that
and the passing time
My death waits like
a witch at night
and surely as our love is bright
let's laugh for us
and the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
there is nothing much to do
angel or devil I don't care
for in front of that door
there is you
My death waits like
a beggar blind
who sees the world with an unlit mind
throw him a dime
for the passing time
My death waits
to allow my friends
a few good times before it ends
let's drink to that
and the passing time
My death waits in
your arms, your thighs
your cool fingers will close my eyes
let's not talk about
the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
there is nothing much to do
angel or devil I don't care
for in front of that door
there is you
My death waits
among the falling leaves
in magicians, mysterious sleeves
rabbits, dogs
and the passing times
My death waits
among the flowers
where the blackish shadow cowers
let's pick lilacs
for the passing time
My death waits in
a double bed
sails of oblivion at my head
pull up the sheets
against the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
there is nothing much to do
angel or devil I don't care
for in front of that door
there is..........
