Re: RIP, VIP
Legendary spoken word performer Emilio Cubeiro died on approx. June 15, 2001 in Craftbury Common, VT of complications due to Hepatitis C. A frequent contributor to one of the first gay poetry magazines, "Mouth Of The Dragon" throughout the early Seventies, Cubeiro's exceptional live performances combined poetry, rhythm and music years before anyone else. Reportedly, a young poet named Lydia Lunch saw him perform at CBGB's in 1972, and left completely transformed. It would be over 20 years...

Well, Nancy, as I'm sure youare aware, I was in my teen whilst I was a member of said cult. Those were the salad days.....All I ever could aford to eat was, salad. I learned quite a lot from some of my favorite performers. It was quite a magical time, although I believe a bit of an unstable time. I suppose magic and instability go hand in hand. I remember feeeling at different times central to the groups process and at others very peripheral. I suppose thats how things thrived. We all just...

I was also very touched watching her funeral ceremonies in Miami yesterday. Whenever I saw her perform, it was like seeing this tremendous spirit, or Loa, celebrating life and living in all its passion. She was a Great Lady and a Great Spirit. I never failed to be moved by her and her performances. Her Spirit Moves On and is with us still.

Re: DAVID BOWIE
I was just reading the posts in this category, and noticed the vast majority speak only of Davids more recent work and ignore his stuff from the early 1970's, which I consider his most inspired work (Space Oddity; The Man Who Sold the World; Hunky Dory; The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars; Aladin Sane). David Bowie has been a major influence on my life. Like many artists, it is difficult for those who weren't around when the artist first began influencing music to...

Re: Dean Johnson - Death of a Legendary Legend
Deans death has hit me very hard even though I haven't even seen him for years. I used to know him enough to say "Hi Dean" and have a brief conversation with him. I was a teenager when I met him, and all the regulars at The Pyramid. These memories are so concrete that it is hard for me to picture anyone from that time period in any other context. I adored them all when I was kid. I worshipped them and I considered them my parents as ridiculous as it sounds. No one understands either unless...

I've been very disturbed by all of this since my friend Roger DeGennaro, a Howl festival organizer, told me about Dean's death last night.

Beth- I for one would love to see the rock n roll fag bar memorial have Miss Viva giving us a pagan invocation. I'd love to see Joey Arias and other artists who knew and loved Dean perform his songs live with the band- and make them their own. Some live readings, DJ Tennessee and more. And it will need an emcee who can hold it all together.

I really loved the sharing of "Dean stories" at the rapture memorial. I would love to hear more at this larger memorial.
