I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn\u2019t. And that\u2019s a tough place to be because you\u2019re never satisfied.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cWhen I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.\u201d (yikes)<\/h5>\n<h5>\u201cI don\u2019t know why my pictures come out looking so good. I just don\u2019t get it.\u201d (neither do I.)<\/h5>\n<h5>I remember the &#8217;60&#8217;s very well. There&#8217;s a joke that&#8217;s been going round for decades; \u201cIf you can remember the 60&#8217;s, you weren&#8217;t there.\u201d I remember them and I was there. I remember the 60&#8217;s for the things I liked and the things I did not like. No one can accuse me of being opinion free. I have opinions and I am passionate about them. I recognize that the Rolling Stones were one of the best rock groups of all time but&#8230; I did not like them or Led Zeppelin, or a few others because they has that Satanic edge. During the 60&#8217;s my life was about devotion. I rarely smoked, often did not take drugs (except for LSD), meditated often, lived in the awareness of God and every time I took LSD, I was going to visit with some permutation of Lady Nature, the ineffable &#8230;and whatever elementals would appear and some of them always did. If you liked the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin then my take is not a knock on you. In no way would I argue that these bands did not have the maximum in skill and impact. They did but&#8230; I looked behind the door at Led Zeppelin and their private times. I was at Altamont. I KNOW what I saw. I did not like Ozzy Osborne. I did not like death and heavy metal. I felt that music was meant to inspire and that it provided a soundtrack for the sorts of environments, woven out of the minds of the actors (us) of the time. Simply look at what rap and insipid, saccharine bubble bath rock has given us.<\/h5>\n<h5>I did not like what was going on in the universities and I saw what I feared, materialize over following decades. I did not like materialism. I did not like the gratuitous, free love, public humping, beast mode. I saw it. I had to step over it. I had my head shaved and my heart and mind on the prize. Later on I got processed into the sexual, jungle dance and I regret it. I did not like that lounging on the sidewalk, spare changing act. I did not like people referring to their partner as, \u201cmy old lady.\u201d I didn&#8217;t like the brutish police telling me what I could and could not put in my body. It was none of their business then and it is none of their business now. They can celebrate the darkest and most evil comestible of all; alcohol, which is legal and which IS USED to legitimize bad behavior. When I was in prison I was astounded at the number of inmates who could not remember doing what they did because they were all DRUNK. Some of them were doing 30 years and life and I remember them shaking their heads and saying, \u201cI don&#8217;t remember.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8216;Alcohol&#8217;<\/h5>\n<h5>&#8216;alcohol<br \/>\nwhoa whoa alcohol<br \/>\nYou taste so cold and sweet.<br \/>\nYou knock me off my feet<br \/>\nbut you make my soul crawl<br \/>\nalcohol<\/h5>\n<h5>You give us nothing but dreams<br \/>\nThen you take them all<br \/>\nJesus is the only way<br \/>\nBut I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll go today<br \/>\nI&#8217;m just sit back and have a ball<br \/>\nWith my old friend, alcohol<\/h5>\n<h5>Green and brown your kingdoms come<br \/>\nthe bottles gleam and drink the heart<br \/>\nbut deep within the spirits drown<br \/>\nand what is lost cannot be found<br \/>\nand what is lost cannot be found<br \/>\nin alcohol<\/h5>\n<h5>When the moon rises<br \/>\nI hear your call<br \/>\nI want to be somebody different<br \/>\nOr no one at all<br \/>\nI want to rage like the devil<br \/>\nStand ten feet tall<br \/>\nStill you&#8217;re a fool if you listen<br \/>\nTo alcohol<\/h5>\n<h5>Fire in the blood<br \/>\nAnd death in the air<br \/>\nBut I got no fear<br \/>\nHey what do I care<br \/>\nI can beat every system<br \/>\nI can climb every wall<br \/>\nI&#8217;m the king of the moment<br \/>\nWith my queen-<br \/>\nAlcohol&#8230;&#8217;<\/h5>\n<h5>I did\/do not like Andy Warhol. I despised Jackson Pollock<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/national\/nsw-act\/ruth-kligman-survived-drunk-artist-jackson-pollocks-horror-car-crash\/news-story\/ddd15c4278ad867107888637e262392f\"> for what he was in life and in art<\/a><\/span>. In art he was a pretentious, ill mannered poseur. He was notorious for shitting on people&#8217;s carpets and in their fireplaces, especially those who might have been considered friends, though I doubt he had any. To me, the greatest art manifested by a true artist is &#8216;their life&#8217;. Only a real artist knows how difficult it is to carry yourself well in real life with that fire burning in you. There were periods where I did not. Finally I have somewhat mastered that. Jackson was technically a product of the generation previous to the 60&#8217;s but his fame was assuredly of the 60&#8217;s. I could not stand Yoko Ono. Few of you have heard the awful, caterwauling productions of her (cough-cough) music. I have. It is execrable and intolerable but there are other reasons to dislike this woman. I don&#8217;t think about her much but&#8230; if she comes up in conversation&#8230; heh heh.<\/h5>\n<h5>My friend, Gary Kupper is a recording artist, who now and again fell on hard times and wound up driving limousines for a car service, which resulted in him ferrying the famous through the club life outposts of their zombie dance through the disappearing temporary. We were having a drink one evening when he related to me a story about his experience of Andy Warhol. He was driving him and a young hopeful around through The Village from one place to the next. At one point he looked into the rear view mirror into the back seat and saw Warhol blowing the kid. Once he had finished, Warhol spit the semen into the ashtray in the back door. Gary was a tad disgusted by this since he had to clean out the ashtray at the end of his shift; or maybe before.<\/h5>\n<h5>One other individual from the 60&#8217;s that I could not stand was- Robert Mapplethorpe. If you try to find examples of his art, you find tame and artistic renderings, often of women (though his work was mostly gay. I&#8217;ve seen his other work for which he is most remembered and it is as profane as it gets. It really is pornographic and a celebration of the specific depravities associated with a sexually dysfunctional lifestyle. They&#8217;re rehabilitating him now <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/eliza-dushku-reveals-the-16-year-journey-required-to-bring-mapplethorpe-to-the-big-screen_us_5ae9dc1ae4b00f70f0ee5925\">because they are making a film about him<\/a><\/span>. He&#8217;s getting sanitized and this is why I haven&#8217;t been able to find any of his darker work, which was most of it. It&#8217;s all stylized snaps and strangely, focused on the female. They are of a type where you could see the subject draped over a new car or holding an alcoholic beverage.<\/h5>\n<h5>Mapplethorpe&#8217;s artistic rival over the years might well have been Tom of Finland, though he preceded him, time-wise. They made a movie about him too. He was more of a cartoonist and a caricaturist of the gay lifestyle and you can see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsy.net\/artist\/tom-of-finland\/works\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">examples of his work here<\/span>.<\/a> If a picture is worth a thousand words then Tom&#8217;s might be paraphrased as &#8216;worth a thousand expletives&#8217;. There&#8217;s plenty of them, simply scroll down. This is what passes for timeless art in these times and the motive behind the attention being drawn toward this kind of work is the conscious elevation of depravity and degeneracy.<\/h5>\n<h5>Why can I not find graphic images of Mapplethorpe&#8217;s more controversial works and which compose the lions share of it? I&#8217;ve been (in the 60&#8217;s) to openings of Mapplethorpe&#8217;s work. He was really big in New York <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guggenheim.org\/artwork\/artist\/robert-mapplethorpe\">because he was from New York.<\/a><\/span> This is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsy.net\/artist\/robert-mapplethorpe\/works\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">what I get of his work when I go looking for it<\/span>.<\/a> By comparison with what I have seen, these images are seriously tame. He&#8217;s got a lot of shots of foreign items being inserted into his ass as well as the asses of his subjects but I can&#8217;t find any of them.<\/h5>\n<h5>Once again you see here a posting focused on a particular lifestyle. Unless you&#8217;ve been sleeping in Rip Van Winkles watch pocket, you know it is being celebrated and promoted everywhere and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.educationviews.org\/parents-fighting-controversial-sex-education-programs-schools\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">especially in the curriculum of elementary schools<\/span>.<\/a> This is open warfare going on everywhere in schools today and those promoting this are laughing about it. This is abhorrent and demonic madness.<\/h5>\n<h5>There is a relentless and calculated agenda going on in the media and entertainment world wide. Out of nowhere comes this Cardi B character who did an awful rap tune entitled \u201c<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PEGccV-NOm8\">Bodak Yellow<\/a><\/span>\u201d She gets promoted everywhere. Next thing you know she&#8217;s hooked up with a guy from the group, &#8216;Migos&#8217; or &#8216;Migros&#8217;. They are one of the top rap groups going. Next thing you know she&#8217;s pregnant by the guy; just like all the Kardashians suddenly getting pregnant by rappers and basketball players. It&#8217;s all scripted folks. That <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/page\/2\/\">infected anal fissure of a website, TMZ<\/a><\/span>, run by a Tribe Lawyer, is all about D-List celebrities that they refer to as A-List. They are all rappers and assorted bitches and ho&#8217;s. The purpose of this website is to put these rappers and their lifestyle before the eyes of a moth in the candle flame public and give it the imprimatur of a legitimate life style and art form.<\/h5>\n<h5>Kanye West is supposed to be meeting with Donald Trump. He&#8217;s showing up everywhere. He&#8217;s now a Trump supporter and is being realistically discussed as a presidential candidate for 2020. There is a wave of crazy being whipped up off-camera and it is ALL ABOUT sucking the public mind down into a swilling septic tank for the purpose of blacking out Mr. Apocalypse and concealing the portals of spiritual awakening, while greasing the skids of the ramp to perdition. Armageddon is taking place on the information highway, not on the battlefields of banker generated wars for profit.<\/h5>\n<h5>TMZ is concentrated on manufacturing role models for coming generations. First <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/search\/news\/bhad%20bharbie?adid=TMZ_Web_Nav_Search\">they levered this moron into public view<\/a><\/span>, by getting her on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jkmOnEFCyI0\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Dr. Phil, who is one of the more loathsome Satanists going<\/span>.<\/a> Now she has a recording contract and a reality show. There&#8217;s nothing accidental about any of this. If you check out the series of links in the first hotlink in this paragraph, you will see the progressions. Step by step, TMZ and their Satanic-Atheist backers are bringing these skanky, retarded blowup dolls out of underground labs, where they manufacture them in chemical vats; creating them out of poisoned DNA and grafted demon body parts. I&#8217;m not making this up and if you did the research like I do, you could clearly see the process at work.<\/h5>\n<h5>This is not a personal fantasy. This is not something I am dreaming up in my mind. It&#8217;s happening and its purpose is to distract the public mind from the contemplation of the divine within us and focusing it on the toxic appearances that are ferried up from the infernal regions to bind and enslave us, in a perpetuating darkness of terror, fear and dread. It is taking place in real time. Remember this, if you remember nothing else that I have ever brought to your attention; \u201cJesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.\u201d That is ALL you have to know and perform. Practice this and you will have come to the heart of eternal life and the essence of the critical importance of everything enduring and meaningful. Set this at the central locus of your heart and mind and the true light will illuminate your being and raise you into the company of angels.<\/h5>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>End Transmission&#8230;&#8230;.<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zippittydodah.com\/2018\/05\/robert-mapplethorpe-and-awesome.html\">Source\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Les Visible is on form as he reflects on Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and what other Satanic influences have wrought  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":144653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-169686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Commentary"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/128"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=169686"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169686\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":169693,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169686\/revisions\/169693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/144653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=169686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=169686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=169686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
