There were four large pictures to my right leaned up against all the stained glass windows. Front to back it went, Denise, Cynthia, Carole, and Addie Mae. Along the left it was Ita, Sr. Dorothy, Maura and Jean. Wow! OK, I knew most of this in my head all along, but seeing them all lined up like that hit me on many new levels all at once. Wow. Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Addie Mae Collins were blown up in the 16th Street Baptist church. Ita Ford, Sr. Dorothy Kazel, Sr. Maura Clarke and Jean Donovan were raped and murdered in El Salvador. I wonder what differences there are between the Klan and SOA graduates??? GROUND-HOGGISH DAY 7:44 am, 9jan03. Thursday. My own personal "ground hog day" Hooray!!! Spring is here. Sorta. This is that first day of the year waking me up at 6, 7 or 8am where I DON'T try to, want to or insist upon going back to sleep until 8, 10 or 12. I could either jump right up or do my grampa's old trick of staring straight away at the ceiling or sky for 5 or 10 minutes preparing to start my day. I call this "Ground-Hoggish" day. This can hit anywhere from January to May and I can guage my entire upcoming year by it. Yup, I'm going to have a splendid year, despite you, George, OR YOUR FATHER H WALKER BUSH..

After reading your many press releases about Internet piracy of music, I can't understand why the issue hasn't been put in perspective: Less than half of American households have Internet access, and less than 5 percent have broadband, which is the primary means of piracy.

Polite I smiled and waited for the magic to happen. I never wore that suit to other proms, but it went with me to a quite a few of the obligatory homecomings, and years later I used the vest in three different rock and roll bands as part of my "duds." I thought of all these things on my way home from Caldor that day. This story's been edited three times now. One publisher suggested I remove from here that I cried all the way home from Caldors once more, but a more sublime memorial kind of cry -- while pondering all these things. It wasn't published with that change, and it was actually published two other places, once without it, once with. I waited til now to recycle it into my weekly 'zine because I wanted to wait and see if its part of the "american dream" was really dead, and/or would remain dead, and sure enough not only is it dead as a doornail as we go into the worst last week of the year in three decades, but it's kind of zombified like the walking dead. 38short. I think I'm a 42reg and sometimes a 42short now. We get wider, not taller when we get old, don't we? But I almost wouldn't know. The only reasons I'll wear blazers these days are when I'm playing classical guitar and perhaps when I'm addressing a judge. Yeah, I put on my best dumpster-dived suit, and let-me-tell-you, I've got a few of them. Good lookers too. Amazing what you find the day after Christmas, and the day after each final exam, isn't it??? My favorite blazer these days is actually a tux I bought for $15 at a St Vinneys. So as I write this new ending to this very old tale of shame and degredation, greed and avarice, loathe and graft, honest hard work, and getting almost nowhere, I ponder all these things minus the tears and begin to think I'm just a little jaded. We all deserve this economic down-tic don't we? Is this what we get for building phases I and II at the end of the Clinton Administration, and continuing on to phase II's and III's ignoring all the indicators? Isn't this what we get for letting both Gore AND Bush fool us into thinking "Happy Days Are Here Again?" Aren't we clear on how violent each of our comfort(s) at the expense of so many thousands of others' suffering(s)? We're not? Uh oh. Maybe I SHOULD go into detailing my under-table Elks Club job when I was 15 afterall. Yeah, sure. What have I got to lose except my ability to land a job at a place like ClearChannel, 3Com, Hooters, Verio or one of the State Lotteries, right? So shortly after turning 15 I really wanted more in life than what mowing lawns, and slinging papers could get me. I was already doing both. Trust me, those years, that just wasn't enough. A teenager needs things... and lots of them. So my dad had a friend with an ever-renewable contract doing foods at an Elks Club. Totally on the Hush-Hush. The QT. Like Skull&Bones or something! I would be paid double the minimum wage, but cash, so it just may have been the most I've ever made in my life until 5 or 6 years ago. At least the most per hour, right? So I washed dishes, set tables, flirted with waitresses who were much too old for me, and drank way too many Long Island Ice Teas at the end of each shift, for free. What did I learn there? Way too much. You learn a lot in the world while cheating and letting others cheat through you. (To Be CON'T In 342) s.i.f.o.d.o.h. standing in front of dahmer's old house \\\ Woah. Two things I've noticed shortly after 1jan. And maybe I think they're related. And both are to do with NYE. No, not the newyork stockexchange. New Year's Eve. Lessee, how to articulate this. OK. First thing I saw was an entire street with about 9 cars messed up. I'm talking -- they looked like a bulldozer slammed into each car at least 3 times to make sure they were totalled. Yup. 9 cars in a row. All mooshed at least in half. It was a horrible sight. Creepy in fact. Visually violent right away. What happened? I can only guess. Someone not just very drunk, but very enraged. Not just enraged, but very drunkenly enraged. Not just drunkenly very enraged, but very drunkenly enraged to the point of naked aggression. Not just naked but unbridled, naked aggression. OK I'm getting carried away here, but that should illuminate the visual aspect of it. You sensed right away this was some kind of killing floor, not just a smashup by some drunk person at 4am. This was an entire year's frustration taken out on innocent bystanders. People who parked their car on the proper side of the street. Now this was somewhat unrelated to Dahmer's old house, his old street. It was far away from there, but \ the other side of town in fact \ but the same town nonetheless. So there's where I start thinking the next "sight" is related somehow. Dahmer's old house has curling ribbons all over it. All around it. All over the place. Let's see. First there's little dangly medallion type ribbons every 5 or 6 feet hanging from the fencing about eye level. Then there's streamers all over the place inside. You can tell at least half a dozen people jumped the fence and streamed this stuff all over place. There's party hats, noise- makers, etc., all over the plot of land. There was obviously a party inside the fencing. First sign of anyone having been inside I've seen on any of my weekly visits to this place. Hmmm. What happened here? Again, you can only guess. There's where it's related. That's about the only way it was related. Except that it can't help but be some kind of violent energy no matter how you witness it. No matter how you take it in. There was violence here, you know it right away. It's oozing out all over the place. In both these places. In between these two "witnessings" I've seen a couple other spots where 4 or 5 cars had been done in that way the morning after NYE. (call it new years day if you have to, but that loses the impact. I stick with the "morning after NYE.) But they weren't nearly as evocative as the first one I saw. And then I reflect a little bit about the two events, each in the context of the other, if I may. Can you tell someone in Israel who just smashed an entire street full of Palestinian cars, s/he's wrong if you'd just done that new years eve in your hometown in the USA? And correlated: can a municipal government tell one of its citizens s/he's wrong to smash up a street full of cars, if a huge portion of your tax dollars go toward egging on Israel to buy International Harvesters or Caterpillars??? So that's all I got this week for sitting (or standing) in front of dahmer's house. Violence is violence no matter where it shows up, and no matter what day or night it's celebrated. ************* hey hey hey, it's ATI !!! ************ AIRPLAY 101 ----------------- By Bryan Farrish [ref]=[http://www.radio-media.com] Payola (part 2 of 5), Legal Definitions Now let's cover what payola actually is and isn't. First of all, there is no such thing as "legal payola", just like there is no such thing as "legal theft". An activity is either illegal payola, or it is legal. The grand rule that governs the whole thing is section 317 in the Code of Federal Regulations... 40 FCC 317 reads: "All matter broadcast by any radio station for which any money, service or other valuable consideration is directly or indirectly paid, or promised to or charged or accepted by, the station so broadcasting, from any person, shall, at the time the same is so broadcast, be announced as paid for or furnished, as the case may be, by such person: PROVIDED, that the 'service or other valuable consideration' shall NOT include any service or property furnished without charge or at a nominal charge FOR USE ON, or in connection with, a broadcast unless it is so furnished in consideration for an identification in a broadcast of any person, product, service, trademark, or brand name beyond an identification which is reasonably related to the use of such service or property on the broadcast." (emphasis added) What this says is that if something of value (say, $500 cash, or a DVD player, or 100 CDs) is given to a station with the UNDERSTANDING that a particular song must be played in order for the station to get the valuables, then this fact must be announced to the listeners. If the announcement is made, everything is legal; if not, it is payola. However, if something of value (say, $500 cash, or a DVD player, or 100 CDs) is given to a station for the purpose of GIVING IT AWAY ON AIR during regular programming, then NO announcement is required, and the situation remains perfectly legal. (This is how game shows work.) Here are some FCC examples: 40 FCC 3.119 Example A-1 reads: "A record distributor furnishes copies of records to a broadcast station or a disc jockey for broadcast purpose [i.e., airplay]. No announcement is required unless the supplier furnished more copies of a particular recording than are needed for broadcast [airplay] purposes. Thus, should the record supplier furnish 50 or 100 copies of the same release, with an AGREEMENT by the station, express or implied, that the record will be used on a broadcast [i.e., the song will get airplay], an announcement would be required because consideration BEYOND the matter used on the broadcast was received." (emphasis added). This example points out the difference between giving a station something to keep, versus giving a station something to giveaway on-air; this is the thing that makes the difference. Here's more clarification: Section C reads: "[No announcement is required] where service or property is furnished free FOR USE ON or in connection with a program, but where there is neither payment in consideration for broadcast exposure of the service or property, nor an agreement for identification of such service or property BEYOND ITS MERE USE ON THE PROGRAM" (emphasis added). Thus, you can give a station whatever you want, as long as it is given away on-air, i.e., used on the regular programming. More: Example C-10 reads: "Free books or theater tickets are furnished to a book or dramatic critic at a station. [All] the books or plays are reviewed on the air. No announcement is required." But: Example B-7 reads: "A perfume manufacturer gives five dozen bottles to the producer of a giveaway show, SOME of which are to be identified and awarded to winners on the show, the remainder to be RETAINED by the producer. An announcement is required since those bottle of perfume retained by the producer constitute payment for the identification." (emphasis added). So, it should be clear that giving a station anything for giveaway on air is perfectly legal; giving a station anything that will NOT be given away on air (except of course your CD for airplay), if there is an understanding that you are doing it so they will play your stuff, is payola. Conclusion: Paying stations is not a tool for a small indie to get airplay.
