MALCOLM MCLAREN IS DEAD

the original BUFFALO GUY is RIP.
Malcolm mclaren, former manager of THE NEW YORK DOLLS, creator of the SEX PISTOLS, punk rock, ex-lover/partner to VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, opened the first punk rock/fetish shop called SEX, creator of the BUFFALO GIRLS, discovered BOW-WOW-WOW, inspired the NEW ROMANTIC look, and numerous other trends has left the building.

according to the new york times- his companion of many years, Young Kim, confirmed that Mr. McLaren died on Thursday, and said he died of mesothelioma at a hospital in Switzerland.

In the 1970s, Mr. McLaren returned to his native London from New York, where he had briefly managed the New York Dolls in the waning days of that band’s initial flush of fame. With his business partner and girlfriend at the time, Vivienne Westwood, they renamed their clothing shop Sex, and Mr. McLaren set about putting together his own rock act of untested British youth, which became the Sex Pistols.

McLaren's British agent, Les Molloy, said he had been suffering from cancer for some time but could not give a cause of death. He said McLaren died in New York but could not provide details. READ MORE-

BLAST FROM THE PAST!

oh no!
my good friend from high-school- eric heins- sent me these pics from our junior prom!- circa 1975.
i remember i invited joyce as my date, i liked her because she was flat-chested. i then hooked-up eric with her best friend, (i forgot her name) they did not hit it off.. there was no love connection. after our uneventful prom we took our dates to the sugar shack in north hollywood. the gay bar where cherry currie used to hang out with joan jett.

check out our threads! me in my lurex/nylon shirt, matching turtleneck to pants & disco palm tree necklace!, (i made it in metal shop) the girls in their polyester -peach prom gowns & crochet- shawls!

(me & my two ladies!- very bi-sexual seventies of me)

Cannabis has long been used for fiber (hemp), for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug.

Medical use-
there has been considerable interest in its use for the treatment of a number of conditions, including glaucoma, AIDS wasting, neuropathic pain, treatment of spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis, and chemotherapy-induced nausea. A recent study has also concluded that cannabinoids found in Cannabis might have the ability to prevent Alzheimer's disease. THC has been shown to reduce arterial blockages.
Currently he FDA does facilitate scientific investigations into the medical uses of cannabis.

Recreational use-
Cannabis is a popular recreational drug around the world, only behind alcohol, caffeine and tobacco.
In the United States alone, it is believed that over 100 million Americans have tried Cannabis, with an additional 25 million Americans using it within the past year.
According to the UK medical journal The Lancet, Cannabis has a lower rate of dependence compared to both nicotine and alcohol, and any Cannabis withdrawal symptoms are typically mild and are never life-threatening.

Religious use-
Cannabis has being referred to in India as "food of the gods", eventually becoming a ritual part of the Hindu festival of Holi.
In Buddhism, cannabis has been used in meditation and regarded as a holy plant since 500 BC. Shamanic use of Cannabis in China has been dated to at least 1000 BC.
Anointing oils mentioned in Exodus are said to contain Cannabis. Sufis have used Cannabis in a spiritual context since the thirteenth century.
In modern times the Rastafari movement has embraced Cannabis as a sacrament.

Cannabis as art & fetish-
the fervor and devotion for cannabis throughout history can now be summed up with imagery and artworks depicting the ongoing passion & debate for the legalization of cannabis.
