Rags” was a counterculture fashion magazine ahead of its time. Published monthly in San Francisco from June 1970 through June 1971, its focus was street fashion rather than the fashion found in store windows.

Issue ONE featured an interview with Devon Wilson, troubled superstar rock-groupie/girlfriend of Jimi Hendrix.  In it she tells the story of how she came to “cop” (bed) Mick Jagger:

The giant pattern – thought to represent a traditional Mayan head-dress – appeared next to the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe last week.

Members of the crop circle community believe the mystic symbol is a signal of the end of the 5,126-year Mayan ‘Long Count’ calendar on December 21, 2012.

The video clip for “Ashes to Ashes” was one of the most iconic of the 1980s. Costing £250,000, it was at the time the most expensive music video ever made.

It incorporated scenes both in solarised colour (helped by an innovative Quantel Paintbox technique) and in stark black-and-white, featuring Bowie in the gaudy pierrot costume that became the dominant visual representation of his Scary Monsters phase. Also appearing were Steve Strange and other members of the London Blitz scene, including Judith Franklin and Darla Jane Gilroy, forerunners of (later participants in) the New Romantic movement that was heavily influenced by Bowie’s music and image.

Throughout her youth and early adulthood, Mary Baker Eddy faced poor health and financial and emotional hardship. She mary_baker_eddyovercame these challenges to become one of the most prominent individuals of her day. Toward the end of her life, Human Life magazine described her as “the most famous, interesting and powerful woman in America, if not in the world, today.”

Mary Baker Eddy (July 16, 1821 – December 3, 1910) was an influential American author, teacher, and religious leader, noted for her groundbreaking ideas about spirituality and health, which she named Christian Science. She articulated those ideas in her major work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875. Four years later she founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, which today has branch churches and societies around the world. In 1908 she launched The Christian Science Monitor, a leading international newspaper, the recipient, to date, of seven Pulitzer Prizes. (wikipedia)

+ i LOVE L.A.===============*

“I Love L.A.” is a satiric song about Los Angeles, California written and recorded by Randy Newman. It was originally released on his 1983 album Trouble in Paradise.

This song is an example of Newman’s ambivalence toward the American Dream, as it celebrates living the dream ( “Look at that mountain, look at those trees”), while giving a nod to those who have been unable to fulfill the dream ( “Look at that bum… he’s down on his knees”). Newman also presents this dichotomy by incorporating the names of L.A.’s Century Boulevard, Victory Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, and 6th Street into the lyrics of the song. Traversing any one of these roadways from end to end will reveal some of the wealthiest and some of the poorest areas of the city. After Newman croons the name of each street, the crowd shouts “We love it!!”
