How cool it would be to draw beautiful things all over a person’s body.
I got my pen on my friend Tere’s leg tonight but he thought two flowers and a peace sign was enough.

My friend R’s been raided. He came in to work tonight still shaking.
The cops turned his room upside down but found nothing. A fine doesn’t matter but prison — shit.

 

His friend E has gone completely crazy — not far-out even, just queer as hell.
You can’t talk to her, even. She doesn’t answer; just laughs.
She wore tramping boots painted light blue with flowers on them to a party the other night — looked a bloody freak.

Yusuf Islam’s website, with streaming audio.

You MUST treat yourself!


The pleasures here for me stretch through most of my life — all the way back to the mid/late 60s and his first chart hits, through the lyrical albums of the 70s; and to his return to performing in recent years.

The website is multimedia and very interactive, with artwork, tracks, biographical notes and something of his inspiration and spirituality.

This is bloody ridiculous, you know.
I’ve just got home from work and in exactly six hours I’ll be out in the elements for another day’s work, with no break.

My only meal today was a pie — the rest was cake, chocolates and smokes.
I feel like a rubbish bin.

My friend Barry’s been busted for acid.
Rick went to the peace meeting tonight and Carol was in the march.

I went in to work today, sat down and lit a smoke.
Sam walked in, fanned the air, said how smoky the air was and that he smelt “marijuana”.

My boss Oz’s ears pricked up and he asked Sam: “What made you say that?”

Sam just meant it as a joke but Oz said “Interesting to hear you say that after what we’ve just been discussing.”
He sat down beside me, watched me for a while then said: “What do you know about ‘marijuana’?”
I replied “not much, why?”

Then followed a barrage of questions about my involvement with pot and drugs in general.
I told him I had not been on it here but that he had to accept the fact that it’s everywhere.

He then warned me that investigations were being made.

I talked to Carol and she said the management was concerned cos she was in the peace march.
When I returned from tea my workmates bombarded me with “We hear you’re on pot!”

But those idiots don’t even know the difference between pot and acid, let alone what to do with them.
You can’t even start to tell them.

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round … aaaaaahhhhhh

Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high … aaaaaaaahhhh

Love is all, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue … aaaaaaaahhhh

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh …

Well Ginsberg must have had a great sense of humour, is all I can say.

The photographer writes about him earnestly after the shoot, but the pix to me say let’s have a bit of fun.

I am sure he was laughing.
You’d have to, wouldn’t you?

The danger of illegalising marijuana … is that you make criminals
out of the most intelligent and sensitive people in the country.

Stunning work of Tim Williams (Shitao in SU), and there is a huge collection of paintings, photos and digital collages at his Flickr page.

He is one of my best online friends and one of my favourite artists.
I can’t really do him justice here so go see for yourself!
