more on the kerfuffle between the BIA and Burners

to back up the assertions made in the previous rant, seen below, just look at these stats released by the pershing county sheriff last year after Burning Man 2017.  these are the drugs confiscated by cops, listed in descending order……

818 grams of psilocybin mushrooms (about 30 ounces)

23 ounces of pot (more mushrooms than pot?  and now you know why blinky lights kick ass in Black Rock City! )

12 ounces of Ecstasy (Molly, MDMA)

almost ONE OUNCE of coke

217 hits of LSD

4 ounces of Ketamine (!)

about a half ounce of METH

 

and remember, these are figures for a city of 75,000.

gee, where are all the OPIATES?  where are all the big bad OXYs…..contin and codone?  how about all the JUNK/HORSE/SMACK?

Burning Man is all about ECSTATOGENS.  not OPIATES.  get a better cover story for hassling burners, feds.  put a little time into it next year, ok?  cool?  because this opiate cover story is BEYOND BALONEY!

 

Bureau of Indian Affairs show up for The Burn!

so the Bureau of Indian Affairs has sent a formidable squadron of its cops and drug dogs to beautiful downtown Nixon, Nevada. Why? well, the official line was that, you know, since there’s a horrible problem with oxycontin and oxycodone abuse on the reservation, the BIA better show up to help because all these drug-soaked burners will be driving through to prey upon the helpless addicts of the rez, and…….

ok, ok, hold on for a cotton-pickin’ minute. that’s the biggest pile of poop cover story we’ve heard in quite a few moons. Burners looking to sell buckets and buckets of opiates to tribal addicts? PUH-LEEZ!  Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. anybody who has even the slightest clue about anything connected to general reality knows that Burners are to oxycontin what Donald F. Trump is to pole-vaulting.  this BIA infestation is some good old-fashioned “hippie hassling,” the likes of which haven’t been seen since rednecks shot Dennis Hopper at the end of Easy Rider about 50 years ago.

And this bullshit is occurring in a state where MARIJUANA IS NOW LEGAL.  of course, the reservation is FEDERAL PROPERTY, an island of land where pot is still illegal, surrounded by a state that no longer gives a fuck about the evil weed. But while the BIA is lurking in Wadsworth and Nixon, be aware and take care as you drive along Nv. Highway 447.  make sure you follow the posted speed limit. if you’re driving 27 in a 25, you’re gonna get pulled over.  also make sure your tail lights and brake lights work.  if they don’t, you’re gonna get offed.  pure and simple.  the cop will approach the driver, and the other cop with the dog will begin circling the car.  that’s the reality until the wednesday after Labor Day.

Haylay Hutt, Administrative Assistant, Joseph Orozco, KIDE Station Manager, Dr. Stephan Stack, COO of Kimaw Medical Center pose in front of fire maps* holding face masks sent in by JiveRadio listeners from at least 4 states. It’s not a lot, but it ain’t nothin’!

THANKS JIVERS!

*JiveRadio put out a call last week to send masks to the Hoopa tribe in NoCal suffering from major smoke from the state’s worst wild fire season in white man’s history. Government cutbacks have axed previous handouts of things like face masks and other fire-victim essentials.

THE QUEEN OF SOUL SAYS “LATER, Y’ALL”

On Thursday, August 16th, 2018, we said good-bye to Lady Soul, Aretha. yes, she was one of those folks who got by on one name very nicely. she was 76.  pancreatic cancer.  she was almost larger than life…..with a wondrous voice to match.

so sure, i’ll get crankin’ on a tribute show to her and her tremendous legacy of joyous, rockin’, quality music. but those always take a few days to get together, and maybe you don’t want to wait.  i don’t blame ya.  i had a very nice evening on the patio last night, drinking wine and listening to her great Lady Soul record from 1968.  soooooo……. if you wanna have a nice aretha party on this friday night the 17th…..or saturday morning or whenever……let’s acknowledge some contemporary realities in terms of music access.  meaning i’m guessing you very likely have Spotify or Pandora or both, or you have some Aretha cd’s/albums.  if that’s the case, there is absolutely no need to wait around for me and my pithy comments.  you can put together a real nice and comprehensive Aretha party that will definitely get the job done and remind you why the woman was a stone cold cultural treasure and legend.

First, if you have the albums or c.d.s, well, play one of ’em.  or two.  duh.  have a great time. a couple of standouts are the aforementioned Lady Soul (where she actually covers an old Redbone song called Niki Hoeky!) and  1967’s “I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You,” the album with Respect and Dr. Feelgood, among a bunch of others (and those are just two of MANY albums that Ree recorded over the years).

Second, if you have spotify or pandora or some other music streaming service, there are 3 great Best Of albums you can party with and get big time satisfaction.  my fave is “30 Greatest Hits” by Aretha Franklin, which has loads of great stuff from her golden age with Atlantic Records.  if you track that one, you’ve got yourself an instant Aretha Party.  also good is “Respect–the Very Best of A.F.” and this one includes her 80’s hits on Arista records, like Freeway of Love and Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves.  that collection has 43 Ree tunes on it, so it’s pretty comprehensive.  Another killer compilation disc is “Queen of Soul,” with 24 tracks and not a stiff in the bunch.

so yes….no need to wait for my Aretha tribute.  you can have your own right now!  therefore…..”rock steady, baby, what i mean now….and let’s call this song exactly what it is.  it’s a funky and lowdown feeling, move your hips from left to right.  what it is that i might be doin’, this stuff and dance all night……”
