It’s My Life, Don’t You Forget It – 13 Song Lyrics That Tell It Like It Is

00individual livin’ his life – mid-’70s
after a momentary lapse of reason resulted in cutting his long hair.

The ’60s, especially, and the ’70s were a rebelious era, as well as the best all-around decades in human history – but don’t take 00’s word for it, look it up for yourself.

Were there heavy issues like the Vietnam war, civil rights, asassinations, and other atrocities, surely. However, that just furthers the fact that within those obstacles / issues to overcome the ’60s soared; individually, culturally, musically, and, well, everything benefited by the level of awareness that spread around the world. That awareness, through 00’s own experience, came about through the widespread use of marijuana / cannabis. 

It was a trip to see people get high for the first time. Once an individual got high, decently high, the masks disappeared and the “real me” emerged. This was the beginning of “the awareness”

When anyone’s consciousness is raised, it can never be lowered. When truth is shown while in a open-minded state, it is hard to fight that truth. Therefore a level of awareness is achieved.

Many wanted to explore further, for many, once was enough. For those brave souls who explored further, life became an ever-evolving mystery worth spending the time trying to solve.

In most cases, delving into the psychedelic space of the unexplored regions of consciousness is an individual trek, one that can be attempted to explain, but falls short because of the personal experience,
How does one explain a specific personal psychedelic experience? It can only be succesfully done to, and with, others whom have “been there”.

Everybody has awareness, just at different levels. Sometimes individuals who seem to be shy, withdrawn, and anti-social are actually busy working on themselves, which can be hard, but enjoyable work. Inwardly these individuals are probably the life of any party, but get their fullfillment in life by experiencing it beyond “the party”.

Because of this, “friends” may try and get an individual into their scene, not realizing that that part of the individual’s life had seen its day and had moved on to a more meaningful life.

Unfortunately, at some point all one can say is:

It’s My Life – The Animals
It’s my life and I’ll do what I want
It’s my mind and I’ll think like I want.

If 6 Was 9 – Jimi Hendrix
I’ve got my own life to live
I’m the one that’s going to have to die
When it’s time for me to die
So let me live my life
The way I want to, yeah.

This Is My Life – Billy Joel
I don’t care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone.

I’m Tired – Savoy Brown
I’m tired of trying to be something I know ain’t me
I’m tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different, Now ain’t that a crying shame
Now wouldn’t be a real drag if we were all the same
And I’m not going to try to please, Eyes that just don’t see
If I get myself together, You’ll have the blues not me.

Its My Life – Talk, Talk
It’s my life, Don’t you forget it.

Get Off Of My Cloud – the Rolling Stones
I said, “Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud
Don’t hang around ’cause two’s a crowd
On my cloud.”

Traffic – Light Up Or Leave Me Alone
Sometimes I feel like I’m fading away
You’re looking at me, I’ve got nothing to say
Don’t make me angry with the games that you play
Either light up or leave me alone.

Its My Life – The Monkees
It’s my life, and I’m takin’ over now
It’s my life, and it’s time that I learned how
No excuses, for the truth is
It’s my life now.

Let Me Be – The Turrtles
Please don’t mistake me or try to make me
The shadow of anybody else
I ain’t the him or her you think I am
I’m just trying hard to be myself
Oh, society’s goal is to be part of the whole
That may sound good to you, not to me
Let me be, let me be To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be That’s all I ask of you
I am what I am and that’s all I ever can be.

Different Drum – Linda Ronstadt
All I’m sayin’s I’m not ready for any person,
Place or thing to try and pull the reins in on me.

Its My Life – Jon Bon Jovi
It’s my life, it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life) My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, “I did it my way”
I just wanna live while I’m alive
‘Cause it’s my life.

My Way – Frank Sinatra
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows, I took the blows
And did it my way.

The God of Rock ‘n’ Roll – 00individual
No matter what the lows, life’s highs will abound,
Savor those moments, stake claim to that ground,
Those memories are proof that you lived and had some fun,
This is all we can take with us when we’re finally done.

.

There was a simple, but effective saying in the ’60s and the ’70s, a saying that was the solution to everything:
“DO YOUR THING, JUST DON’T DO IT ON ME.”
People respected that and moved on to others who were easily impressionable.
Today they try and ram it down your throat, regardless. No respect at all.
There’s just one huge problem that they still do not understand, but will have to live with, and that is,
that’s right, let’s all say it together,
It’s my life and I’ll do what I want
It’s my mind and I’ll think like I want.
Don’t You Forget It.

Toro y Moi – ‘MAHAL’ Listening Party – 1970s in 2022

Posted by 00individual on May 14, 2022
Posted in: 1960's and 1970's Culture Archives. Tagged: 00individual, MAHAL, MAHAL Listening Party. Leave a comment


“MAHAL” Listening Party Video Full Album
and/or without party commentary:
‘MAHAL’ full album
released in US April 29th 2022

Stop the presses! 00 had to immediately share this video of a ’70’s listening party in 2022.
This is a highly-recommended laid-back psychedelic groovy forty minute trip.

00 is only two weeks late to the party that is Toro y Moi’s seventh studio album, MAHAL.
This American singer, songwriter, record producer, and graphic designer is a creative genius. The mix of genres: trip-hop, house, psych-rock, jazz, rnb, and influences: ’60’s vocals, the Beatles, The Who, the Beach Boys, and many more blend seamlessly and create an astounding unique sound.

Toro y Moi (Bull and Me) real name Chaz Bundick, legally changed to Chaz Bear, starts MAHAL out as a Jeepney starts up, from there subtle radio channel changes blend to the next track.  Definately addictive, but a good addiction to have – contrary to popular belief, there are good addictions.

The video of the listening party is within a perfect setting, compltete with burning incense, bubbling bongs, passed joints, drinks, spacey comments, and just general psychedelic weirdness that really creates a groovy mood. Dig it.

Here we have tthe two girls gettin’ high while listening.
While bizarre at first, these big “heads” at this listening party are literal in both senses – a peek into a parallel dimension, just a sliver away – nice portrayal.

Like the stoned music afficianado and host of the party, 00 fondly remembers being the MCDJ at all of his communal pads – it was cool to turn-on friends with the newest LPs and best “oldies” of Rock and all that it encompassed.

Rock On and Enjoy a Groovy Psychedelic Trip!

“RIOT AT THE DRIVE-IN”

Posted by 00individual on May 10, 2022
Posted in: 1960's and 1970's Culture Archives. Tagged: 00individual, RIOT AT THE DRIVE-IN, the Century Drive-In Inglewood CA, The Incident 1967. Leave a comment

“THE INCIDENT”
1967 taglines:
As Shocking As Anything Let Loose On The Screen!
Hits Like A Switchblade Knife!
A Bold, Gritty, Terrifying Story Of Inner-City Terror!
12 People! A Night of Terror!
Never before such a devastating climax in a film!

Back in the Drive-In days, 00individual’s favorite was the local Centinela Drive-In and then the nearby Culver City’s Studio Drive-In, but the Olympic Drive-In in Santa Monica and the Century Drive-In out in Inglewood past the Fabulous Forum and the Race track were less visited.

Inglewood at that time was still becoming more ethnically-integrated with African Americans and Hispanics populating the previously mostly Caucasian community.  The Century Drive-In was considered a semi-dangerous area due to the emergence of gangs in the area; but within the safety of your car it was like any other Drive-In – except for one night.

00individual and his girlfriend had already seen the movies showing at the Centinela and Studio Drive-Ins and arrived in his 1951 Buick ready for an evening of movies, popcorn, candy, Coke, and sugar-rush sex.  Sometimes the movies themselves would be interesting enough to stave off sex play – sometimes.

The August 1965 Los Angeles Watts Riots were still fresh with tensions still wound tight, and although “The Incident” was set in New York, its themes struck deeply unsettling nationwide concerns and emotions. It was a highly volitile catalyst for psychological class and race depiction and played as a dark fable with specifically-drawn characters of humanity trapped on a locked subway with two hoodlums who proceed to psychologically terrorize, humiliate and degrade every single adult passenger.

While if filmed today, it would still be provocative, but it would be lost with the focus on horror porn; but in 1967 this psychological horror story filmed in stark raving Black and White on a huge Drive-In screen with speakers blaring worse-than-obscenities dialogue, it could have started a riot – and it did!

Just as things reached a racial boiling point on the screen, there began a commotion a couple rows of cars back.  00individual leaned his head out of the window just as an empty bottle flew by and broke on a car’s rear bumper. The sound of chains hitting metal and humans yelling could be heard. 

00individual had no fear, his 1951 Buick was an Army green tank with steel bumpers and old school hard core metal construction with a straight eight to plow through anything, if needed.

Soon, from behind the masssive Drive-In screen the flashing lights of cop cars xould be seen as they came in through the exit.

Most people weren’t stupid and contained their emotions when cops came on the scene, only fools blew their cool, so the rows of cars invloved went silent.

And the movie went into the last act, and everyone knows what happens then, resolution – or retribution.

The DRIVE-IN THEATRE (late ‘50s thru mid ‘70s) – and – The Last Outpost of Classic Film: The ‘70s

Posted by 00individual on May 6, 2022
Posted in: 1960's and 1970's Culture Archives. Tagged: 00individual, 00individual Drive-In Theatre, 1970's Classic Film, Csntinela Drive In, The DRIVE-IN THEATRE. 2 Comments

The DRIVE-IN THEATRE

The Drive-In Theatre; the cozy night-time place for snuck-in McDonalds burgers, fries and soda, great movie entertainment on the big, big screen, monaural cardoor speakers, and backseat sex (Passion Pit era: late ‘50s thru mid ‘70s) .

One of the big benefits of getting a license to drive at sixteen, and then getting a used car, beside freedom, was that the Drive-In was the perfect place to safely and intimately make out and as the windows fogged up, much more. (00’s 1951 Buick Straight Eight’s backseat was like a bed!)

It wasn’t mainly about sex; there was a cornucopia of movies on display; it was the height of the Best Movie Era ever – and the height of the Drive-Ins’ popularity, the mid ’60’s through the mid ’70s.

Movies have chronicled the public zeitgeist since the art’s inception. For those who grew up during Hollywood’s Golden Era, the “art for art’s sake” film industry of the ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s, saw the 1970s as the last era before quality, story, characters, and plot lost out to the Studios’ lure of big box office tallies.

It is historic fact that in 1975 the movie “Jaws” created more than one monster – as the repeat-viewing “Blockbuster” monster was born. Movies as an art form became corrupted.

The ‘70s: The LAST OUTPOST Of CLASSIC FILM

While the ‘70s will always remain as the last outpost of classic film-making, one look at the 1970 decade in movies also reveals the psyche of the times. Even though balanced with comedies and musicals, the decade had an ominous satiric sardonic vibe.

Take note of the impact made by these following classic, and yes, historic films of the ’70s:

To start off, smack in the heat of the Vietnam War are the presentations that war is insane, with M*A*S*H, Catch-22, Patton, and Kelly’s Heroes – but that Love was alive with Love Story, The Way We Were, and Woodstock.

Frustration with the war and the general unrest caused many to buck the system; Dirty Harry, Dog Day Afternoon, and The French Connection ignited the anti-hero genre which fueled satire with A Clockwork Orange, Harold and Maude, and existentialism with Vanishing Point.

The ‘70s took matters into their own hands with The Godfather, Deliverance, Superfly, Death Wish, The Getaway, The Sting, and Dirty Harry’s Magnum Force.

By the mid-‘70s things were not what they seemed with Chinatown, The Parallax View, Don’t Look Now, and Three Days of the Condor.

Then all Hell broke loose with The Exorcist, Earthquake, The Towering Inferno, Last Tango in Paris, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Jaws.

In the ‘70s no single movie genre dominated, it was either Comedy: Blazing Saddles, The Jerk, Up In Smoke, Smokey and the Bandit, Fantasy: Superman, The Muppet Movie, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Gritty Noir: Taxi Driver, Eraserhead, Apocalypse Now, Horror: The Abominable Dr. Phibes, The Exorcist, Dawn of the Dead, The Amityville Horror, or Outer Space: Star Wars, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Star Trek: The Motion(less) Picture, and Alien.

As is apparent, the overall pressure of the incredibly compact historic ‘60s was expressed in film by outlaw film makers in the ‘70s as one of justified paranoia, exposed reality, and imagination unleashed – sprinkled with a little laughter, and song and dance. Sigh. The Good Ol’ Days.

00’s neighborhood Drive-In – 1972

Mostly as a kid/early teen, for some nighttime fun 00 and friends would hang out at the end of a cul-de-sac at the top of the hill just up the street from his house – and from their elevated height they watched movies showing at the local Centinela Drive-In.
The action on the screen was highly visible from their position and although the sound was slightly delayed and echoed from the masses of car-speakers, it was still fun and they saw many movies for free.

But wait, before you leave the Drive In Theatre,
watch this short entertaining featurette:

“00 CUTS HIS BIG TOE OFF AT THE CENTINELA DRIVE-IN”

It was a sunny early summer ’68 Saturday and for some fun 00 and his girlfriend were riding bikes in the Centinela Drive-In when it was closed and apparently no one was around. They were enjoying riding up and over the rows and rows of slightly elevated mounds.

00 was barefoot, as was normal back then, it was summer after all, and 00 took a mound with enough speed to leave the ground, but his right foot slipped off the pedal and when he landed his big toe bounced into the front wheel’s spokes – his toe was flapping like playing cards attached by clothes pins in the spokes.

With a clean cut almost to the bone, the exposed inner flesh was white, when suddenly all of the exposed blood vessels rose to the surface and for a second the blood was blue before hitting oxygen and turning red. There was still the large flayed hunk o’ big toe hangin’ off the tip, so 00’s girlfriend wrapped it and they hobbled over to the snack stand in hopes of a phone.

Once inside the open air stand there was a lone maintenance man. 00’s girlfriend called a friend to pick them up and take 00 to the hospital to sew his toe back on. Meanwhile, the maintenance man showed 00 his missing finger, they swapped stories.

At the hospital 00 needed parental permission to graft his butt skin onto the toe. 00 would have none of that and had them just sew the bottom half back on – It never healed properly and became undead flesh.

For decades, and to this day, 00 has had a Zombie Big Toe – half undead toe and half alive toe.

.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO REPLACE THE SPEAKER ON THE POST WHEN YOU LEAVE THE THEATRE.

THANKS FOR BEING WITH US THIS EVENING.
WE HOPE IN SOME SMALL WAY WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADD TO YOUR PLEASURE, COMFORT, AND RELAXATION

– 00INDIVIDUAL DRIVE-IN THEATRE

.

Next week’s post continues the Drive-In experience with
 RIOT AT THE DRIVE-IN!
with the November 1967 feature, “The Incident”.
Riveting – and dangerous!

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of 1972 – featuring May

EXPERIENCE the HISTORICAL HEIGHT of POP and ROCK and PSYCHEDELIC CULTURE!
May 1972

May 1972 marks an extremely fun high-point in 00’s life; he had just turned 21 in February and was in the middle of a solid rockin’ year as manager of “Cranes” Palos Verdes record store. The release of “Hendrix in the West” within the first month of 1972 was a righteous anthem to begin the new year and the continuous amazing six month run before leaving the store that he had made home, for a job as a Record and Tape Rack Jobber for an L.A. distributor for the following year. These were the days when EVERYTHING was new and every day was an adventure – it was the times – not just for 00, but for all of those individuals who contributed to the VIBE! The early ’70s were unexplored lands, new adventures, new highs, new experiences, and new sounds! 1970 through 1975 was epic and the pinnacle of Classic Rock – 00 was there.

May 1972 Album Releases:

Wow, check May’s Ample Pulchritudinous of Classic Albums:

1 Amazing Grace – Aretha Franklin Live
Eagles – Eagles 

2 Obscured by Clouds – Pink Floyd
00 can seriously state that this is one of his favorite Pink Floyd records; he liked it so much that he went to “Filmex”, forerunner of the Sundance Film Festival, to see the movie, “La Vallee”, just to hear Pink Floyd’s terrific “Obscured By Clouds” soundtrack music amplified at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard! Even though the soundtrack LP was mainly used for ambient music within the film he still gave a standing ovation when PF’s credits hit the screen.
About the film: “La Vallee” was a gorgeous, sexy, bohemian-style trippy movie about a group of free-spirited Hippies, (and one hot, Bulle Ogier), who go in search of an unexplored area of Papua New Guinea that is only represented on maps as “obscured by clouds”.
They believe that it is in fact a paradise, and travel by plane (the opening shot of the film above the clouds with the title track is nothing less than goose-bumps!), then by Land Rover, then by horseback, then ultimately on foot to get to “the Valley”.
The end of the movie has them finally reach their destination and as they all climb up to the top of a hill to finally overlook their  “paradise” – the camera turns and faces them.
The film’s audience however never get to see what they see or what they experience past that point.
00 really liked the ending, but he’s sure that many who want spoon-fed stories with nicely tied-up conclusions did not – but then 00’s a huge David Lynch fan!

5 The Osmonds Live – The Osmonds Live
6 Looking Glass – Looking Glass

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars – David Bowie
Fifty years ago a “Starman” from Mars made himself known to a generation of Rockers yearning for a new sound who were on the verge of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide“.
His message of “Soul Love” was an inspiration and though “It Ain’t Easy” to do in this “Suffragette City” he told us to “Hang Onto Yourself” for just “Five Years” and we too would be a “Star“.
His name was “Ziggy Stardust” and along with “Lady Stardust” he led us into a “Moonage Daydream“of Rock ‘n’ Roll bliss!

9 Earthbound – King Crimson Live
There It Is – James Brown
10 Moon Shadow – LaBelle
12 Some Time in New York City – John Lennon and Yoko Ono
13 A Song for You – Carpenters
14 Simon and Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits – Simon & Garfunkel Compilation
16 Roxy Music – Roxy Music
18 As Recorded at Madison Square Garden – Elvis Presley Live
23 Living in the Past – Jethro Tull Compilation
26 Carney – Leon Russell

666 – Aphrodite’s Child 
Aphrodite’s Child founder and eventual Academy Award Winner, Vangelis Papathanassiou became one of 00’s all time favorite artists – he owns import virgin vinyl releases of nearly all of his albums and this Vertigo label double LP, “666” was his first encounter with this Greek Rocker.

Aphrodite’s Child were really very much aligned with the Who at this time with a “concept” double album, extremely creative compositions, soulful unique lead vocals by Demis Roussos, infectious beats, hard Rock to soft ballads, soaring guitar and even a sexual climax! And all done with an invigorating sense of adventure and enjoyment – kinda like the Who – only Greek.

Bless Your Heart – Freddie Hart
Blues Roots – Ike Turner
Free at Last 0 Free
If an Angel Came to See You, Would You Make Her Feel at Home? – Black Oak Arkansas –
Let Me Tell You About a Song – Merle Haggard
Number 1 Record – Big Star
School’s Out – Alice Cooper
Syreeta – Syreeta                                       
Together – Golden Earring

THE STONED PRIVATE EYE – TONIGHT’S 1971 EPISODE: “THE HEAD SHOP”

Posted by 00individual on April 24, 2022
Posted in: 1960's and 1970's Culture Archives. Tagged: 00individual, The Head Shop, The STONED PRIVATE EYE. 4 Comments

Tonight’s 1971 Episode: “The Head Shop”

Back in the ‘60s and the ‘70s independent entrepreneurs filled the need for small stores that catered to the counter-culture. These shops sprouted up in towns across America and the world.

Along with independent record and tape stores, these clothing boutiques, second-hand stores, bookstores, and head shops became peaceful fun refuges where people with like minds could shop, and co-mingle with others.

“Head” Shops got their name by providing the essential accessories and smoking paraphernalia that the Psychonaut, Hippie, Counter, and Drug Culture “Heads” needed. Head Shops also provided an important cultural service; a welcome place to visit. There was a warm, fun, and slightly exciting feeling that Head Shops automatically had when one entered the door. It was as if leaving the monotone street life reality, and walking through a doorway into a world that looked and sounded like another reality, a colorful, mind-expanding reality.

These shops mainly served as quick stops for rolling papers, roach clips, and pipes, and also provided a casual spiritual explore of the vast array of ethnic cultural items, Rock posters, belts, beads, lava lamps, Indian tapestries, newspapers, magazines, and underground comix. All of this amidst the smell of rich patchouli incense and Ravi Shankar sitar background music, or the owner’s choice of mellow Rock.

William Trent was casual friends with a couple local head shop owners; these guys, record store managers, and drug dealers, were the best source of current and past counter-culture info, bordering on gossip.

Will walked into “The Head Shop”, an unoriginal name, but precise, and probably got more calls from the Yellow Pages than “The Temple of Good Dreams”, which was the other local head shop.

The owner of The Head Shop, Fred “Big Kahuna” Johnson, was a blonde guy with a dark tan who claimed he was Hawaiian, no one believed it. His shop was very cool; all decked-out with bamboo pole accents, palm trees, and a painted mural at one end of the shop that took up the whole wall. It was as if there was a sandy beach, then the surf, and then the ocean and blue skies. It was a small place but that mural made it seem to go on forever.

Big Kahuna had given Will info that while correct, was not complete, this was why Will had a black eye and is why he was ready to turn him in if he answered wrong.

BK: “Aloha kakahiaka, Will.”
Will: “Good morning BK.”
BK notices Will’s black eye but does not comment.
Will: “See this.” He points to his eye. “This is your fault.”
BK looks astonished: “My fault?”
Will: “You know that bit of info you gave me about Sid? Well, you left out the part that Sheila wasn’t his wife, she was his girlfriend.”
BK: “So?”
Will: “Sid’s wife took it out on me and she has a mean right.”
BK: “Sorry ‘bout that, Mate.”
Will: “Unfortunately, that led me to question your involvement.”
BK’s guilty looks contribute to the vibe Will was getting; BK was involved in some criminality beyond the Sid and Sheila incident.

BK starts to run a line of bullshit but realizes Will probably already knows and is just testing him.
Will, putting the incident with Sid and Sheila aside: “What? What’s goin’ on?”
BK confesses: “It was a way for me to make some money, like equal to six months of profit income from this place, and business has been good, for me anyway. And I could get that sailboat, you know the one.”
BK pauses, caught up in his dream of sailing “back to” Hawaii.
Will: “BK.”
BK snaps out of it: “It all seemed innocent at first.”

BK explains his minor involvement; he met some guys who made him an offer to keep four wooden crates in his store room in the back for about a week.
Will: “And that didn’t seem suspicious to you?”
BK: “Brother, I love you, and this town, and all the people, even the local cops know I’m cool, but this was it, my ticket back to Hawaii.”
Will plays along: “I get it, so, what happened?”
BK: “I was at Toes.” “But it was flat so as I was leaving these two surfers came up to me and starting talking about my shop which is painted on the sides of my van.” He pauses and says with a proud smile: “You know, mobile advertising.”
Will: “I get it, and . . “
BK: “. . . and they made me this offer, gave me half cash up front and dropped the crates off later that day.”
Will: “Where are these surfers?”
BK: “I don’t know, they contact me.”
Suddenly, Will gets a vibe as two customers enter the shop.
BK moves to behind the counter: “May I help you?”
Will knows the play, and thumbs through the boxes of used tapes.

Will didn’t need eyes in the back of his head, he could sense one of the men facing him, arms folded, and watching Will’s every move. This guy was good, he was a pro, which told Will how deep BK was in.

Will continued to seriously check out the tapes, pulling them out and reading the track listings as BK suffered a serious verbal lashing by the other man.

Although the Tongue Lasher kept his venom low and inaudible to Will, the vibe was clear, BK was just given a time limit, that if not met, is when the torture starts and only stops at death.

The two Men left. Will kept looking through the cassettes and counted off the seconds, BK stayed behind the counter.

At thirty seconds another customer came through the door. It was the Pro, checking to see if Will was something other than a customer. The Pro turned and left.

Several customers came in, BK put on a vinyl classic, Dick Dale and his Deltones “Surfers Choice”, as Will worked his way to the counter.

Will under his breath to BK: “How much time did they give you?”
BK, not amazed at the question coming from Will: “24 hours.” “They think I ripped them off or that I know who did.”
Will moves to the side of the counter: “What was in the crates, coke?”
BK: “Yeah, probably a dozen kilos in each, but only three, I had to move them around to make room for my own inventory and one had a muffled metal to metal sound.”
Will: “Guns.”
BK: “That’s what I figured, but still, all I had to do was store them for a week.”
Will: “And one day you went back there and they were gone?”
BK hangs his head: “Yes.”

A customer makes a purchase, and Will resumes: “So give me something, what do you know? Who were these surfers, ever seen them before?”
BK: “No, I didn’t know who they were, it didn’t matter, they knew me, my shop, there were no names, and the offer was harmless, with cash up front.”
BK continues: “Other than that, I have a lean staff, I basically live here, so I have a couple trusted part timers who fill in. No one has access, except . . .” he slowly realizes and looks up, “through the roof.” BK looks sheepishly at Will.

A couple other customers approach the counter, ask questions, and purchase some incense.

Will: “OK so we know how, now who?” “Someone else knew, or found out about the stashed crates; it had to be one of your ‘trusted” part-time employees.”
Will got their names and addresses from BK and paid them a visit. Of the two, the girl was oblivious to the fact that the crates were even there, she ran the counter and rarely went in the store room. The guy was a bust from the moment Will brought up the crates; he spilled the beans with no coercion, he said he was basically a plant working right under BK’s nose for Michael “Murph the Surf” McMurphy, the owner of BK’s competition, The Temple of Good Dreams.
Will drove back to get BK, he wasn’t doing this alone.

BK was just closing up The Head Shop when Will pulled up and told him to get in the car.
Will: “How long has this been goin’ on? This feud between you and Murph. You guys are playing a dangerous game.”
Will heads for The Temple of Good Dreams.
BK questions: “It was Murph?” Then realizes: “It was Murph.”
Will: “You guys stepped over the line, if you want to set this straight you need to get those crates back.”
Will: “This stunt by Murph could get you both killed, even if you can return them.”
BK: “There goes my sailboat.”

It was about midnight, the moon was full and had a crisp silver tint. Everything was lit up but in black, white, and gray tones; a surreal world of the ‘50s with the tamped-down colorful ‘60s fighting to be seen. Within this gray world action looked creepy and shadows cast distorted yet distinctly scary images.

Will wasn’t interested in bloodshed so they hid and waited until Murph and a goon left.
Will knew that there was at least one goon inside the Temple. He looked at Big Kahuna.
Will: “You, a, know any hand to hand combat skills?”
BK: “You mean like Karate or Jujutsu?”
Will: “Yeah.”
Just then a second goon came out onto the back patio, Will snuck up behind, and knocked him out.
He motioned for BK to follow him in the shop – there were the crates, all neatly stacked in the back room. They hauled all four out in two trips to Will’s car.

Just before they got in the car a third goon came out of nowhere, walked up and decked BK. Will walked up and kicked the goon full force in the balls, the goon keeled over to the ground near unconscious with pain.
Will, helping BK up off the ground: “I thought you knew some fighting skills?”
BK: “Yes, I knew of them, but not in practice.”
Will does a mental eyeroll.

As they pulled out of the driveway onto the street, Murph pulled up and recognized Big Kahuna riding shotgun. The chase was on.

Will, as he drives: “Murph hears about it from his “inside guy”, one of your “trusted” employees and figures that he can eliminate his competition and come up on a score. What he doesn’t know is that he wouldn’t be able to unload any of it, and if he tries, he’s dead.”

Will heads for BK’s Head Shop with Murph still on his tail. Will’s vehicular expertise left Murph in the dust.

Will parked down the street from the Head Shop.
The stillness of the gray world was broken by the sound of a Woodie, a wood-paneled station wagon, coming into view. It pulled over and two guys got out.
BK whispers: “It’s them, the Surfers.”
Will: “They’re here early, shit, they’re just gonna break in and wait. A few minutes sooner we’d have unloaded, been outta here, and this would have been over.”
BK: “Look who else is here.”
Entering the well-lit gray world was Murph’s pick up truck.
Will was watching a clusterfuck being formed. This is when the simplest solution will turn into a bloodbath.

Will knew that as soon as Murph entered that back door his mere involvement meant his death. Will grabbed one of the crates out of the trunk, turned it vertically and used it as a shield as he walked out to stop Murph.

The Surfers came out the back into the parking lot.
Will heard Morricone’s “the Ecstasy of Gold” play in the background soundtrack of his mind.

Surfer: “Where’s Big Kahuna? And you with the crate come over here,”
Will was acutely aware to timing, timing that may never come again. The Other Surfer that circled behind him had a gun.
Will walked toward the Surfer and at the perfect time acted as though he was setting the crate down, when actually he used his crouched position as a spring, lifting the crate back up by the end handle and using the upward motion to execute a quick lateral swing with great momentum that not only knocked the gun away but glanced upside the surfer’s head – he crumbled.

Will spun around to face another gun still using the crate as a shield.
Will: “This crate, and the other three are ready for delivery.”
Will continues: “Murph and Big Kahuna will load them in your Woodie.”

The Surfer looked around, assessed the situation and at gunpoint watched them load the crates into the Woodie’s spacious back end.

Will helps the downed Surfer up on his feet, backs off and turns to the Surfer with the gun: “Where’s Big Kahuna’s balance due?” “In the end he owned up to his part.”
Surfer, with a sneer: “What’s keeping me from offin’ you three right now?”
Will: “Do you know where you are?” “Look around, look closely.”
There from seemingly every window were the silhouettes of people backlit from TVs and lamps all looking, seeing, watching, waiting.
Will: ”You fire a gun you won’t make it out either end of the block, you’re in Ghost Town.”

The Surfer reaches in the car’s glove box pulls out an envelope and hands it to BK.
The Surfers got in their Woodie and left.

BK to Will: “Wow, thanks Man!”
Murph: “What do I get?”
Will: “Something priceless, your life.”
Murph grumbles, gets in his truck and leaves.
Will to BK: “I’m goin’ home, I’m beat.”
BK: “Will, would it be alright if I bunk at your place tonight? I’ll replace the locks tomorrow.”
Will didn’t like being “Hobo Hotel” but under the circumstances he agreed.
BK followed Will back to his place and after sharing a righteous bowl of marijuana they crashed out.

The next morning Big Kahuna was gone, but he left an envelope filled with cash and a note that read: Here’s your daily fee and expenses and a bonus. BK
Will smiled.

Feeling refreshed Will decided to hit the beach and take a natural saltwater ocean bath and then lay on the cool morning sand as it heated up by the minute.

THREE MONTHS LATER . . .

Will is sifting through his mail and sees a glossy color postcard that says “Greetings from Hawaii”, he flips it over, and scribbled in ink it says:
Will, Aloha!
I made it, I sailed here and have made friends already. Come visit.
Thanks Man you made it happen,
Love, Big Kahuna
P.S. My sister runs the Head Shop now, her name’s Gwen, stop in and say high, make sure she’s OK!

Will smiles while reading the postcard, but his attention is drawn away to another piece of mail, it was addressed in cursive and in dark red ink, but not ink, blood turns a dark brown on white cloth or paper, this was dark brown. There was no return address.
Will opened it and unfolded the letter inside.
There was one word written in blood: HELP!

VANILLA FUDGE . . . August 1967

VANILLA

EXPERIENCE ROCK HISTORY!

VANILLA FUDGE – August 1967

Although 00individual was getting the psychedelic most from his new friendship with Marijuana, when Vanilla Fudge released their debut album mid-’67 he had not yet taken any psychedelics, like LSD or Mescaline. However, this album was the “advance man” for the rapidly-approaching psychedelic days to come, as the Top 13 Historic & Classic Psychedelic Albums 1967 proves.

Vanilla Fudge used the time-expanding properties of LSD and created intensely dramatic, sometimes heart-rending, nearly operatic versions of big Rhythm and Blues, Soul, and Pop songs and made them their own.

These were not cover songs, as once they were mixed through the Vanilla Fudge LSD Machine they came out as a delightful batch of tasty re-invented songs.

While the songs they Fudged were certainly familiar, it was the way they did them that dredged up deep primal dream-state psychedelia.  Their stylized version of The Supremes’ You Keep Me Hangin’ On is a time-stamp epic of Acid-drenched Psychedelic R’n’B Soul Rock.  Yowza!

In ’68, Deep Purple (MKI) were tagged as “the British Vanilla Fudge” with their slowed-down Psychedelic Rock versions of Soul/R’n’B and Pop songs such as; Kentucky Woman (Neil Diamond cover), We Can Work It Out (The Beatles cover), River Deep, Mountain High (Ike & Tina Turner cover), Hush (Joe South cover), Help! (John Lennon, Paul McCartney cover).  

Actually, both bands were leaders and explorers of the extended dramatic anthemic Hammond organ heavy precursor to Progressive Rock – which would magnificently explode in the very early-to-mid ’70s.

So, this is where it was at in the second half of ’67 – from then on every level of Pop Culture, Madison Avenue, and even the Mainstream Media, adopted, exploited, and enjoyed the proliferation of Psychedelic Culture in their music, designs, products, advertisements, and their lives.

VANILLA FUDGE – Full Album
Side one
“Ticket to Ride” (John Lennon-Paul McCartney) – 5:40
“People Get Ready” (Curtis Mayfield) – 6:30
“She’s Not There” (Rod Argent) – 4:55
“Bang Bang” (Sonny Bono) – 5:20
Side 1 of the album ends with: “The following is a series of high-frequency tones…”

Side two
“Illusions of My Childhood – Part One” – 0:20
“You Keep Me Hangin’ On” (Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Eddie Holland) – 6:42
“Illusions of My Childhood – Part Two” – 0:23
“Take Me for a Little While (Trade Martin) – 3:27  “Take Me for a Little While – Evie Sands’ ’65 hit – 2:35
“Illusions of My Childhood — Part Three – 0:23
“Eleanor Rigby” (Lennon–McCartney) – 8:10

Vanilla Fudge recorded five albums during the years 1967–69 with the original band members:
Mark Stein vocalist/organist, Tim Bogert bassist/vocalist,
Vince Martell lead guitarist/vocalist, and Carmine Appice drummer/vocalist.

After Vanilla Fudge’s break-up, the band continued on through personnel changes; Bogert and Appice formed Cactus, and later joined Jeff Beck as Beck, Bogert and Appice.

PEANUTS! -and- courtesy of Charles M. Schulz; “That Point When One Has Had Enough Of The Lies”

Experience a High-Point in ’60’s Culture

PEANUTS!

Among the many benefits 00individual experienced during the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s was to have grown up with Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, and Snoopy, and all of the Peanuts Gang of endearing characters created by Charles M. Schulz’ in his globally-loved phenomenally-successful “Peanuts” comic strip.

At the height of Peanuts’ popularity in the ’60s, as a then aspiring artist / cartoonist, 00individual’s appreciation of the strip transcended from the public’s universal appreciation of Snoopy’s adventures and the spirit that he represented, Charlie Brown’s attempts at fighting the good fight only to see that “no good deed goes unpunished”, Linus’ introspection of the world and life, and Lucy’s independent fussbudget personality.
00individual’s transcendent appreciation took on an almost reverence toward the Peanuts Gang.  He saw that while speaking about the times, Schulz never was political or outspoken, however, he got many a point across through the simplest words and images that rang true to the hearts and minds of millions. These simple words and images are actually at the Jackson Pollack level – in that every ink line and word is purposeful, in Schulz’ case, it was the exquisite art of economy.

Take a look at Linus in the first quarter panel below – he is perfect, every casual inked line is perfect, he is effortlessly walking, his exaggerated proportions are of a child, but an aware child, a child beyond his years. In the fourth quarter panel his head tilts down just enough to indicate thought of what was said.

Even though the Peanuts Gang are perpetually in Elementary School, their thoughts and ideas and adventures evoke the wisdom of the ages portrayed in the magical world of childhood.

“That Point When One Has Had Enough Of The Lies”

00individal collected all of the ’50’s and ’60’s paperback books of collected strips as they were released and read them over and over, and there was one six panel series that always stuck with him. It depicts the breaking point when the lies are just too much too ignore – lies that eventually make one sick – lies that eventually reveal the truth.

That breaking point was so clever and humorous in the way that it revealed and showed the propaganda used by so many people, groups, beliefs, parties, cults, institutions, and governments that one deals with throughout one’s life that 00individual felt compelled to share this timely, and timeless, wit, wisdom, and talent of Charles M. Schulz.

Little Jimmy Scott – Catalina Bar & Grill, Hollywood – June 1994 – “Sycamore Trees”

Little Jimmy Scott – Catalina Bar & Grill, Hollywood – June 1994

In the climactic second season final episode of the original Twin Peaks TV series, Little Jimmy Scott performed the song “Sycamore Trees” in the Black Lodge.

This was an ultimate moment for viewers and certainly for Angelo Badelementi as composer and David Lynch as lyricist to see, hear, and experience their creation manifested into the most sublime, other-worldly, mood-appropriate vocals by the immortal Little Jimmy Scott.

Once again, as always, Lynch is deep in the groove. Like the song he “was thinking of . . .” segment of his daily weather report – anyone of those could be in a Lynch film, and would suddenly become part of his world.

Sycamore Trees is a perfect season-ender element, a swan song so to speak, until 25 years later.

Little Jimmy Scott had an early career with Lionel Hampton, (who destowed the “Little” moniker), and with other Jazz greats, but like many crooners, had lost favor to the highly-influential and prolific Rock ‘n’ Pop of the ’60s and the ’70s.

00individual, like many, has, on occaision, taken his interests to “fan” levels.

Once, after seeing the film “The Fifth Element” while in Hong Kong, he was so enamored with the Diva’s performance that when the opera that contained the actual aria, “Il Dolce Suono” from the third act of “Lucia di Lammermoor” (Gaetano Donizetti/Salvadore Cammarano) was performed at the Los Angeles Music Center Dorothy Chandler Pavilion – 00 attended just to hear the actual aria sung live. Brava!

.

But the only time 00 took fandom seriously and to the extreme, (or completely normal),
was on his surreal / real trip to Twin Peaks.

And thus when Little Jimmy Scott was in L.A. at the original Catalina Bar & Grill Jazz Club and would surely sing Sycamore Trees – 00 was there – to see, hear, and experience another live moment within the Twin Peaks World.

The Time Will Smith Stood Face To Face With 00individual

Posted by 00individual on April 3, 2022
Posted in: 1960's and 1970's Culture Archives. Tagged: 00individual, Action Figure Underground, Devil's Cyberspace Plaything, ID4 UFO, independance Day movie, Will Smith Didn't Slap 00. 5 Comments

True Stories from the Action Figure Underground!

00 was associated with Streamline Pictures, a production company in Santa Monica, headed by one Carl Macek of Robotech fame. In 1996 Streamline was approached to sculpt the action figures for the 1996 sc-fi movie “Independence Day” by its license holder Trendmasters.
Prior delays by Trendmasters, including an on-set artist, yielded only the Goldblum character’s likeness approved – so under the crunch Trendmasters hired 00individual via Streamline to sculpt the likenesses of Will Smith and Bill Pullman.

00 was to meet with Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Godzilla, Day After Tomorrow) as Devlin was first approval before the talent saw the sculpts. They were filming at the sets built in the old Howard Hughes Aircraft Hangers off Jefferson Blvd just north of Los Angeles International Airport.
It is on part of the land that SpeilbergKatzenbergGeffen were to build their highly contentious “city/studio”, and right where Oliver Stone recreated Ground Zero for his 911 film – and a mile as the crow flies to the home where 00 grew up.

00 had been provided mug shots of Pullman and Smith but the original photographer decided to tilt the camera up from Pullman’s height when photographing Smith instead of raising the camera to a horizontal level to match Smith’s height, therefore they were inaccurate photos for references.
Although not a fan of rap and hip-hop and not a viewer of the “Fresh Prince” or of any TV at that time, too busy, so in order to do his job he needed to see Will in person and everyone obliged.

Since 00 had been there previously, Security at the main ex-Hughes offices, now transformed into the production company Centropolis’ head offices, just sent 00 on his way unassisted. 00 was to go through the first hanger and then meet up with Devlin’s assistant Dionne McNeff, who he’d met previously.

As he entered the first hanger everything was quiet and he immediately sensed a presence in the dim light. As his eyes adjusted from the daylight, there, almost hovering above him was the complete full-sized Alien Craft right from the movie; the one that Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith take off in to save the day!

Take this all in: 00’s alone in a real aircraft hanger, an original Howard Hughes Hanger, which added surreal credibility to an actual full-size nuts ‘n’ bolts UFO!  A real UFO!

This was totally cool! It didn’t take a lot of imagination to suspend belief for a few moments and let go – he was alone with a UFO in an actual Hanger 18 style! It was as real as anything! He soaked it up as he slowly walked around and then under the Alien Craft doing the naughty by touching every part within reach, then as he slowly started up the same ramp that the main characters walk down in the movie, he continued to look back and savor the UFO.

Once up the ramp he maneuvered between massive curtains that seemed to hang from the sky and then met up with Devlin’s Assistant Dionne – and now here’s where it gets even better, well, maybe not better, but very cool!

To set the stage so to speak, this was at the height of Action Figure Mania, when it seemed like EVERYONE was a collector and business was booming and zooming and was the reason why 00 was even there.
As he was led behind the huge sets, he met Patrick Tatopoulos the Alien and Set Designer for ID4 (and future Godzilla designer as well as Matthew Broderick’s namesake in that movie) and he checked out the sculpts, smiled at the dead-on Pullman but saw with a discerning eye why 00 was there to see Will.

00 continued behind the maze of curtains and as he rounded the corner he saw Dean in his director’s chair and all these actors that he recognized from past films (that were in this film) were on the Air Force One set. Dionne alerted Dean to my arrival, he stopped what he was doing and turned in his chair to greet 00 and everyone looked to see who deserved such interest.
It was the “action figure guy”! Dean was actually happy to see 00, it was due to his interest in enjoying the licensing/action figure/toy process, as they all did – it was FUN, everyone smiled and 00 was welcomed to the set!

Being an action figure designer/sculptor back then was like being a mini-rock star – everyone seemed to light-up when told of 00’s profession and seemed to be happier when around him.
00 believes it’s a safe release and return to re-enjoy the fun sense of childhood and imagination for many who have had the need to hold back and maintain a mature status – and for those fortunate enough to have never left – and also ‘cuz Action Figures are COOL!

00 met with Dean and Roland too, briefly, and after Will shot his scene he met with 00.
Will was well over 6’, and 00 was 5”10” and so Will took a wide “at ease” stance so that he was then eye level with 00.  After studying Will for a moment or two he then said “O.K. Got it!”

Will Smith, with this his first major big budget film break, was on good behavior and did not slap 00, instead they shook hands.

00 left, sculpted a dynamite likeness, came back, got approval, and got paid!

Unfortunately, Trendmasters’ delays caused the Hong Kong manufacturers’ deadline to substitute a generic African American head – that’s right, all for naught!
The only place to see the photos of 00’s original sculpts of Will Smith and Bill Pullman are on the back of the action figure cards – you’ll need a magnifying glass. Pullman’s sculpt they used – as a guide for a normal factory two-up re-sculpt. Sigh.

On the Mondo Positive side – 00 got to experience, under ideal, intimate real life conditions, a “close encounter” with a UFO!

.

Thus concludes another episode of True Stories from the Action Figure Underground – 
those 24-7-365 Daring Action Figure Days of Yesteryear!
It was a time when individual professional hand-sculpted creative talent was highly-valued.
Thankfully, back then there were no cold heartless computer files for souless hands-off 3D printing. 
Technology de-values humanity’s prior centuries of hand-painted, hand-sculpted art and creations –
it is the draining of human inspiration, the deprivation of potential human talent,
the elimination of techniques of interaction of paint on paper and of hand in clay,
it is the regression and stagnation of imagination and of creativity, 
individuality is gone replaced by the acceptance of sameness,
and it is all literally at one’s fingertips – but not in a good way.

LONG LIVE THE IMPENDING LOST ARTS!
. . . proclaims 00 as he hypocritically types away on the Devil’s Cyberspace Plaything!

Appreciation for hand-crafted art, and the blood, sweat, tears, and hours of workmanship that goes into it, has become irrelevant and ridiculed as a waste of time in a “deliver it now” computer-ruled world where art is but a push of a button away.

However, 00 must confess his sins, he is guilty, he uses photoshop, but with the knowledge and experience of a traditional artist’s background so that he can manipulate imagery to his will.

There’s something primal and very satisfying working with traditional mediums.
Sculpting in zbrush, not clay, and painting in photoshop, not oils, is like having sex using a condom – while it’s still good, it’s less than fully satisfying.

This all seems to come down to honor and respect for the past to better the future.
For one day the future will be the past.

And no one should ever get slapped – when a strong upper-right hook to the jaw will do.

    The STONED PRIVATE EYE

    These thrillers were written in 00individual’s normal state with a definite experiment in mind.

    Recently 00individual had resurrected his 1970’s LSD writing experiment with his good friend and writing partner on the east coast, only without the LSD. His friend would write a few paragraphs or page and then 00individual would do the same. Neither knew where the plot / storyline was going or of the characters that emerged, yet they wrote a very cohesive and fantastic 40-50 page story full of action, dialogue, and fun.

    00individual decided to try to do the same technique but by himself. He had the title “The Stoned Private Eye”, a Noir Vibe, and the 1970s decade as inspirations, and let loose these stream of consciousness tales of The Stoned Private Eye.

    But then immediately something truly amazing happened – as 00individual wrote, the story wrote itself!

    Other than grammatical corrections, spelling, and a tad of clean-up, these words were laid out as the sentences unfolded, dialogue came about when needed, action as well, all written spontaneously.

    Each episode was completed well within a normal workday, with an average of eight pages including the intro, and around 3,500 words which equals about a fifteen minute read.

    There was absolutely no planning, no story; these episodes developed as they were written. There were no rewrites.

    Although he did not know where the story was going, his protagonist, the Stoned Private Eye did. He just wrote as the plot unfolded with endings mostly unknown until the last paragraphs were written. Tribal Truth.

    00individual has had many special cosmic transcendent meaning-of-life experiences; but never has he experienced an ongoing Trip like this.

    So, travel back to the psychedelic swingin’ ’70s and spend some time with The Stoned Private Eye – episodes as told to 00individual.
