"Stars were shining around my head"
僕の頭のまわり 星が光ってた


*The opening salvo from Planet Kush off of the release Super-K, as well as 
the feature print on paper illustration Coastal Night Attack 
were both created by the fertile mind of my 70's Boston-scene pal
and electronic music pioneer Jeff Hudson
 He and his equally talented wife Jane (of Jeff and Jane Hudson) were also once members of the legendary band The Rentals of Los Alamo notoriety. They remain vibrant artists of many forms - 
just ask Gertrude Stein.

**Albert Brooks - you were unique in the true sense of the word.
Many thanks for teaching me comedy 101 at a young age and for your mc duties from the cosmos - very fitting. 

Much love and care from The Party In Outer-Space!

"War Is Over If You Want It"


*Today, December 15th is the official start of Christmas here in the Archives. In my childhood, it was the day my family would set up the Tree and celebrate my sister Louella Wohlman-Harper's birthday. She's the reason I do what I do! Today would have marked her 75th had Alzheimer's not ravaged another beautiful and vital human being. My hope for her during this Holiday Season is that more people become aware of the symptoms and realities of this unforgiving disease.
The Alzheimer's Association is a good place to start.

I dedicate this Transmission to Louella and all whose life has been effected.
There is always comfort in company.
Much love and Jolly Jingles.
