ALICE BAG

I started working on this song around the time that Kat Arthur and Tony Kinman died. I didn’t have the courage to put it up or do anything with it because I didn’t feel it was ready but the news of Lorna Doom’s passing today reminded me that punk has more to do with courage than polish. Thank you, Lorna for continuing to inspire. I feel you here although you’re gone.

A sketch of a new song, inspired by friends whose light still shines.

Restless days
Trying to stay above the chaos
Restless nights
Tossing sheets right off the bed

At ease, go on, sleep
Still and calm
It’s a long, long, peace

There’s no map to follow
It’s the great unknown
We’re all travelers
You’re not alone (Traveler)

That bright star
That is shining in the distance
It once burned
Oh, but that was long ago

It sleeps, yeah, it sleeps
Still and calm
Tho' we see it glow

There’s no map to follow
It’s the great unknown
We’re all travelers
You’re not alone (Travelers)

I see your afterglow
Your spirit echoes on
I feel you here
Although you’re gone

FAKIR MUSAFAR- 8/10/1930- 8/1/2018

FAKIR MUSAFAR

 ( August 10, 1930- August 1, 2018) 

 My beloved Fakir Musafar passed away peacefully at home just a bit before noon today. 

Light a candle to guide his journey to the unseen world.

 He was loved, he is love . 

He will not be forgotten. His legacy will live on, his memory will be honored. 

What is remembered lives.

If you light a candle for him that is non electric please do not leave it burning if you are not home.

 We will have a celebration of his like around Samhain/Halloween time. 

I thank again all those who have sent handwritten letters, art cards, 

and told him that his lifework did and does matter.

 Namasté — with Fakir Musafar.

Fakir Musafar 

(born Roland Loomis)

performance artist and early proponent of the modern primitive movement. 

He has experimented with and taught body modification techniques such as body piercing, tightlacing, scarification, tattooing, and flesh hook suspension. 

He is involved in the BDSM, kink and fetish communities.

At age four Musafar claimed to have experienced dreams of past lives.  He reports having given himself his first body piercing when he was twelve. Based on his viewing of anthropological works he first performed his idea of a flesh hook suspension in 1966 or 1967.

As an adult he gave himself the name "Fakir Musafar".

 Musafar has documented his experiences in writing about and teaching others "body play". 

In the early 1990s, Musafar appeared in mainstream media shows like NBC's Faith Daniels Show, 

CBS's People Are Talking, CNN's Earth Matters and Discovery Channel's (Beyond Bizarre). 

In 1998 He produced documentary segments for London Weekend Television's Southbank Show and Playboy Television's "Sexcetera". In 2000, 2001 and 2003 he has appeared in documentaries for The Learning Channel (Human Canvas Part I and Part II), TBS, FX Channel and Discovery Channel plus a major appearance in the 2001 documentary film "Modern Tribalism". 

In 2004 became a spokesperson for the National Geographic Channel's Taboo and has expressed "radical contemporary" views on body rituals on the Travel Channel's 

"Eye of the Beholder" series hosted by Serena Yang.

Musafar's writing and photography appears in Theater Journal, Bizarre magazine (fetish and SM exploration), Skin Two and PFIQ (Piercing Fan International Quarterly). He has lectured and performed at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts (Rapture Series, 1995); Copenhagen's International Seminar on BODY:Ritual-Manipulation (1995). 

His photographic art was exhibited at the Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles.

In 1999 his performance group performed "Metamorphosis" at the Los Angeles Fetish Ball as well as for close friend Annie Sprinkle's Benefit Show at the Cowell Theater in San Francisco.

Musafar lectured at colleges and universities and to New Age and other special interest groups.

 Musafar is considered a Master piercer with over 40 years experience in the body arts. 

He is also the founder and director of the Fakir Intensives which hold training workshops on body piercing and branding in San Francisco, the first in America.

Musafar is featured in Modern Primitives, published by RE/Search, and in the full-length documentary Dances Sacred and Profane.

 He also appears in the movie Modify and Charles Gatewood's documentary, 

Dances Sacred and Profane.

In May 2018, Musafar announced on his website that he was suffering from terminal lung cancer. 

On 1 August 2018, his wife Cleo Dubois announced that he had passed away.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE-
 I HAD THE PLEASURE TO PRESENT FAKIR MUSAFAR'S PHOTOGRAPHY AT MY GALLERY- ANTEBELLUM HOLLYWOOD IN 2007.
FAKIR IS A SHAMAN- 
AN ORGINAL CREATIVE SOUL.
 HE IS ONE-OF-A-KIND.
RIP MASTER.

Pier Paolo Pasolini

 (5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975)

 was an Italian film director, poet, writer and intellectual. 

Pasolini also distinguished himself as an actor, journalist, philosopher, philologist,

 novelist, playwright, painter and political figure.

He remains a controversial personality in Italy due to his blunt style and the focus of some of his works on taboo sexual matters, but he is an established major figure in European literature and cinematic arts. 

While openly gay from the very start of his career  (thanks to a gay sex scandal that sent him packing from his provincial hometown to live and work in Rome), Pasolini rarely dealt with homosexuality in his movies.

The subject is featured prominently in Teorema (1968), where Terence Stamp's mysterious God-like visitor seduces the son and father of an upper-middle-class family; passingly in Arabian Nights (1974), in an idyll between a king and a commoner that ends in death; and, most darkly of all, in Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom (1975), his infamous rendition of the Marquis de Sade's compendium of sexual horrors.

In 1963 Pasolini met "the great love of his life," fifteen-year-old Ninetto Davoli, whom he later cast in his 1966 film Uccellacci e uccellini (literally Bad Birds and Little Birds but translated in English as The Hawks and the Sparrows), Pasolini became the youth's mentor and friend. "Even though their sexual relations lasted only a few years, Ninetto continued to live with Pasolini and was his constant companion, as well as appearing in six more of his films."

Pasolini was murdered by being run over several times with his own car, dying on 2 November 1975 on the beach at Ostia. Multiple bones had been broken and his testicles crushed by what appeared to be a metal bar. His body had been partially burned, the autopsy report revealed, by gasoline after the point of death. It has long been viewed as a mafia-style revenge killing, extremely unlikely for one person to have carried out. Pasolini was buried in Casarsa.

 Giuseppe (Pino) Pelosi (1958-2017), then 17 years old, was caught driving Pasolini's car and confessed to the murder. He was convicted in 1976, initially with "unknown others", 

but this was later removed from the verdict.

29 years later, on 7 May 2005, Pelosi retracted his confession, which he said had been made under the threat of violence to his family. He claimed that three people "with a Southern accent" had committed the murder, insulting Pasolini as a "dirty communist".

Other evidence uncovered in 2005 pointed to Pasolini having been murdered by an extortionist. Testimony by Pasolini's friend Sergio Citti indicated that some of the rolls of film from Salò had been stolen, and that Pasolini had been going to meet with the thieves after

 a visit to Stockholm on 2 November 1975.

 Citti's investigation uncovered additional evidence, including a bloody wooden stick and an eyewitness who said he had seen a group of men pull Pasolini from the car.

 The Roman police reopened the case following Pelosi's retraction, but the judges responsible for the investigation found that the new elements were insufficient to justify a continued inquiry.

His murder prompted an outcry in Italy and its circumstances continue to be a matter of heated debate.
