Hi, I'm prime anarchist and we're changing the order

haven't done that in a long time. Today's zine goes:

1) Lettuce
2) NUMBuce

Enjoy,

Hey Marco,
   Been a real long time since I've submitted 
   anything to ATI....

   What's this deal with Clinton maybe running 
   for President in France?
   I'd hate to see that happen. 8 years of Slick 
   Willie killed this country. I'm just waiting 
   to see what the Dubya does....
   Clinton should be thrown in jail for the Monica 
   Lewinsky investigation. 4+ million dollars to 
   investigate a bimbo who gave Clinton a blowjob. 
   That and millions spent to find out why ketchup 
   comes out of the bottle so slow. 
   America's tax dollars hard at work. 
   Don'tcha just LOVE it?

   Anyway, the question for this issue is:

   Has anyone seen or heard from Ground Zero?

   All accounts, email and web pages are gone 
   (except for one)
   There are several possible theories....
   Kidnapped by aliens?
   Nah.....
   Whisked away in a black helicopter never 
   to surf the net again?
   Maybe......
   Dead?
   I certainly hope not......
   Witness Protection program?
   Possibly.....
   Fled the country?
   Definately not.....
   Leader of a right wing militia group 
   hiding in the mountains?
   We may never know.....

   More stuff:

   What's so new about the "New Millenium" anyway?
   Sure seems a lot like the old one.
   The almighty dollar still controls the masses.
   The cost of electricity jumps from $35 to over 
   $300 a megawatt hour and the Dubya doesn't want 
   to get involved. Enron must be laughing all the 
   way to the bank and then some.
   People are moving out of California because they 
   can't afford to live there anymore. Would you pay 
   $140+ a month for electricity?

News from my neck of the woods:

Some dumb bureaucrat wanted to repeal I-695, the $30 
car tab bill that Tim I-Man (sp?) managed to get on 
the November ballot. She said "People should pay $75 
or $100 for car tabs."
  Who is she to decide what people should pay for car 
tabs? I wish for the life of me I could remember her 
name....
  Some people were paying $200 a year for car tabs. 
Fortunately, Gov. Gary Locke was smart and said car 
tabs should stay at $30. 
  Why isn't gasoline a nickel a gallon anymore?
  Because corporations are greedy and the consumer 
pays without question. I wonder when America will 
finally say, enough is enough.

   Gotta love CNN's new infoline.....

"You're tuned to CNN Headline News, 
an AOL-Time Warner Company"

Isn't it bad enough AOL flooded the planet with 
millions    of disks and CD's? That crap won't 
degrade in landfills    for the next few millenia 
not to mention the fact their    software tends 
to mess up almost every computer it's installed 
on. I almost hate having to fix machines AOL 
messes up.

Some poetry:

   Some time ago, when I was young
   I knew a friend, whos time had come
   To leave this Earth, for a better place
   No longer caressed, by life's embrace
   Maybe things are better there than here
   But still I shed, a silent tear
   What the future holds, I do not know....
   But towards my time, I slowly go.
   From my beginning, to my end....
   I will always, remember my friend....

   --Deeply Shrouded And Quiet

        A T I ! 

FLIM-FLAMMYS:
A Prime Anarchist Review of the Grammys.

Yo.
  Yo, Ingrid Washinawatok is dead, Abbie Hoffman is gone,
Leonard Peltier is still unfree.
  Live, sort of, [on the CNNsorship delay] from Staples 
Center, the theatre that looks like a big old stuffed red 
and white aspirin, it's the 43rd annual FlimFlammy awards;
and why, you ask, do I like watching them on GE-TV rather
than in Radio City MusicHall, Staples or the Baghdad Hilton?
  Because here, I can wear my blue hoodie. That's why!
  I might oughta say a quick aside: one day before the
FlimFlammys, 1 billion dollars offered out of court? 
Napster? What's THAT say???      OK.
  Hey, since when are the FlimFlammys on CBS? Last year was
Staples, but it was still on GE-NBC, wasn't it? Not 
Westinghaus, right?
  [SCRATCH HEAD]
  Was I asleep?? Hey, Mister DJ.
  OK, Madonna thinks she's Clive Davis meets Ronald Reagan 
or something, huh? So I'm still buggin' about this NBC-c-c-
C-CBS merger, friendly agreement thingie. I guess I shoulda 
called it each time they went back and forth between LA and 
NYC, huh?
  [CURTSEY]
  NBC, leaving NYC for good. Soon come - mark my words 
peeps. Remember when Letterman said he'd never leave New 
York OR NBC? Yeah right. Promise me another. Oh well, NARAS' 
loss, not NY's!
  "I feel your scorn, and I accept it," said John Stuart.
OK, so Carson Daly makes up the 3rd blueman in that dorky
abuse of avant gardism, right?
  Of course NSync is Few Man Group.
  OK, Stuart, what words are you going to NOT use? Are you 
ready? Seconds delay and the big button. You are watching,
CNNsorship Central. Fun, isn't it. Really. Are Stuart and 
Bill Clinton related? I swear.
  Heather Locklear and Kid Rock, yeah. "Wow, check out this 
teleprompter." For that matter, are Kid Rock and Jesse Camp
from MTV related, or do they just pretend to do the same 
quality of heroin?
  It's Macy Gray's year. Boyee. Clive and Madonna's old 
money must be finally taking hold.
  I can't wait until next year's FlimFlammys now that Marc 
Rice is out. You ain't SEEN payola yet.
  And it's Devo for Target, Pampers, Windex. Yeah, how 
many paper products does it take to turn on a lightbulb?
  One, if you burn it hot enough. 

Yup, pass me the box of Payola crayons.

  "But when it comes to violence, there's no excuse."
  QUICK! SOMEONE TIE UP GEORGE W. BUSH, QUICK.

And from Cafe YabYum, Orlando Florida, it's LipSync. 
Oh, sorry. I mean NLip. I mean, never mind. Who cares 
what their name is, it's five young guys wearing dumb 
clothing, spending dumb money, singing dumb songs, 
written by dumb ghost writers.
  The only trouble is -- you and I believe in them 
1.3% more than we should!

  In a just world?

  SCENE: Every word I say is true
  [DROPS MIC] 
  [TURNS DOWNSTAGE]
  [SHOUTS] "This sucks. I can't sing this song, I can't feel 
it. Buy me a song I can feel or get me off this stage. 
I won't sing this, it sucks."
  Hmmm. Did everyone else see the two comedians shooting 
tshirts out into the audience from a high-tech cannon? Looked 
like something Raytheon would have invented. Well before Dan 
Quayle handed out those 3500 pink slips.
  Hmm. Does anyone wonder what this Christmas' big hype 
product is going to be?
  Um wait. Steely Dan. Um. Don't get me wrong. I've liked them
for many years. MANY YEARS. But man, I gotta ask this. Does 
anyone remember ever hearing them at all this year?
  At all? I mean I think I heard "Hey 19" a couple times in 
an elevator in Chicago or something... What did I miss?
  Steely Dan beat Madonna AND Britney "Hitme" Spears? Umm. 
Clive? Madonna? What's up with that? 
  Destiny's Child, wow. The first real thing I've seen happen
across that stage so far. Why do I get the feeling they'd have 
all that same presence AND talent if you DIDN'T throw all that 
dumb money at them?
  WHY DO I GET THE SUDDEN HEAVY FEELING IN MY HEART THE THIRD 
REICH IS BEHIND THE FLIM-FLAMMYS AWARDS' CALIFORNIA MOVE?
  And What's with Maya slouching like an inchworm as she 
presents? I mean her neck's halfway down to her knees. I saw 
Macy Gray do it too. What gives? Will people get flogged if 
they try to touch or adjust the microphone?
  The Folgers School Music grant, now there's a noble idea. 
Now you too can write a song that kills someone in Colombia, 
Chiapas or Costa Rica.

I hate to be the one who informs Paul Simon. Nope. I can't 
lie - I love being the one. Simon without the Garfunkle is 
like music without A through F.
  And what's this song. Should I even call it that? I guess
I have to, huh? OK. I won't go there. This band-in-a-box 
production, presentation, what do you call it? It's not 
really fair to make fun of the old, because I'm going there 
too someday, but for Pete's sake Paul.
  Buy a pulse, will you? Or at least buy something besides 
a new bohemian. Paul Simon today is like a cross between Boy 
George, George W, and George Burns. 
  http://www.josiethemovie.com
  Buy Folgers, Vaniqua, Viagra, Nads and Fuji film at a Target 
near you. Have you tried Staples? Ladies and Gentlemen, we're 
about three strip-malls away from full-on eco-anihilation and 
what, we're acting like it's no big thing, ya'all. Who's up 
for a great steak dinner?
  Rainforest crunch. For real.
  John Stuart sucks his scarf down. Yeah, the man snarfed his 
scarf. He did, he sucks. Did I say I think he's gotta be Bill 
Clinton's illegitimate son? Gotta be, I'm telling you. He's 
got Bill's ears, his stance, his hands. Right down to the 
posture. He's got those Harvard hands. You know, that class 
they'll teach you at Harvard, Hollywood, or your house for 
that matter. They can make ANYONE a president. Or just look 
like one. Just hold your hand like this, and move it like so. 
Now do this. There, now get out there and imagine them all 
in their underwear.
  Faith Hill, be a boob or just act like one. Can you say, 
"tall blonde, badly dressed StepNFetchit?" Sure, I knew you 
could. And how come they panned the camera to Tim McGraw all 
of a... Oh yeah. That's right. Biggest music merger since 
Napster and old Bertlesmann pooled their half a billion each 
or so last night.
                               Bono.

Bono is so out of it he's lost sight of who HE is even. 
His very own astute observations. And here he is. Hmmm. 
What's next a page three paid letter explaining that he 
recognizes that netaid.com + napster + NARAS = 666 ?  
You participated hoping you can change it from within?
  Bono, this isn't a slam, I mean this as the most 
constructive criticism I can ever possibly muster up for 
someone who used to be such a hero of mine. 

You care so
much
you do so
little
you earn so
much
you mean so
little

So, what's behind the gilded curtain that makes you forget 
you're you?

It's a beautiful day, can you feel it?

The 43rd annual devo for coke, bic lighters, pringles, iams, 
heinekin and hippies and you can buy it at target.

I must say I think I've knowingly heard U2's "Beautiful Day" 
at least three times as often as the Steely Dan song.
  Wait, Bono's assistant just mentioned Jubilee 2000. I take 
back everything I said...

And now the Dutchess of York for the best weight loss program
ever designed. Air Force sorti's over the no-fly zone?

John Stuart said saran wrap, he said saran wrap, he said saran 
wrap. Wow. Moby for Blue Man Croup. And what's this Jill Scott
playing air guitar to the gospel medley vulcan music meld from
hell?
  And here's BonJovi's Richie Sambora for buying your way out 
of Boston.
  [VOICEOVER] July 4, 1987. The stage dive is invented. July
5? Heinekin usurped it, along with the bic lighter, the peace
sign and the hippy. 
  Eminem and Elton. Wait a minute. History repeats itself. 
Isn't this Louis Farakhan doing dueling violins with that 
Jewish guy after all his politically incorrect antisemitic 
comments?
  Nneena Freelon and Take 6? Now that was real. OK. Cool. Macy
Gray's got it going on. I had a feeling she'd have it no other
way. What's with all the hairdos, though. That was wack. Those 
hippy paisleys on the overhead projector brought to you by 
Target, like Staples but with some more variety. Pink Hair
Group. And Heinekin, it's all about the Germans buying 
Napster. Ouch. Did I say that?
  Dumb money & smart bombs. Dead civilians and non-combatants.
And singing, "happy days are hear again, now the skies are 
hazy shade of winter for the rest of your unborn and unnamed 
kids' lives. 
  Hey Christina, do yourself a favor next year. Less meth, 
less heroin and less spanish. And more weight. Eat some starch 
or something. You make Kate Moss look fat. Mi Reflejo? Good 
try girl. You know $4,000 worth of fonetiks books could never 
get you dominating the Latin charts. You're 'bout as outa your
league as when Billy Joel said he'd be back with classical 
piano. How long has it been now? How long is never? Sorry
Billy, sorry Christina. Maybe if you went and teamed up with
Christina Aguilar you could pull it off.
  You could have beaten Oscar De La Hoya and his BeeGees song,
but you'd a never gotten past Shakira, sorry to inform you.
When SHE says, "you guys," it really has meaning. And she only
says it once. "And of course my country, like always. 
Everything I do goes to them, is dedicated to them. My 
country Colombia, that in spite of our tough reality, we 
keep our spirit joyful, and alive. Thank you so much, and. 
I'm so happy, my God. Yeah, Que viva columbia."
  Rage Against the Machine won best hard rock performance 
with "Guerilla Radio."

  AOL keyword: apartheid.

  "C Major because D flat would suck." Umm. Good try, Stuart.
I know what you were trying for. Almost. No really. Stay with
comedy.
  Please.
  Next?

  And now a little bit of Chopin played live so as to help 
perpetuate this gentle little myth, (BIG LIE, BIG LIE, BIG
LIE. LIKE HITLER'S BIG LIE.) 
          ----this gentle myth that music is what we're 
about.

  "After years of convincing, the Grammys are acknowleging 
for the first time, native american music. The original roots 
music," said Robbie Robertson, "of this continent. And we 
haven't got freedom for Leonard Peltier yet. Maybe he's not 
Marc Rich enough, but we are getting our first grammy, and 
Val, [Kilmer] for this we are grateful."
  Tom Bee and Douglas Spotted Eagle won the first grammy 
in a native american music category ever, for their 
production of Albuquerque's Gathering of Nations PowWow.
  "First and foremost I'd like to give all the honor and all 
the glory to the greatest warrior, my lord and savior Jesus
Christ." Somehow that seems unpretentious, unscripted and 
real, hearing that come from Tom Bee. I can hear that from
him, sounds so much more real than anything George W. Bush
has ever uttered in his slimy, propped up contrived life.
Or most of you for that matter, if I can be so candid.

  Faith Hill - I guess it's ok to fall out of your shirt in 
your seat, onstage singing, and in video, but never, never, 
never. Never while walking the stairs up to the stage. Cover 
your you know whats with your award or something. Hold your 
shirt together til you get up there. Go.
            long....
       long....
    long....
  long....
 long...
editorial from the NARAS people. We're right back to 
"race-records" days, now aren't we?
  Ladies and Gendarmes, without seven of his most important 
words, here's Eminem.

  Target, up yours.
  It happens at the Hilton. Tracers, look, in the sky, it's
a lazer, it's a fazer, it's bombings! Light up the sky, at
the Hilton. The Baghdad Hilton. 
  And don't forget, NARAS. Spelled backwards, you're nothing
but saran wrap.
  Happy mining. 
  May you someday realize music is not for conquest, 
ownership or private stock...

SOMETHING 2 THINK ABOUT
* Tommy Thompson (Health and Human Services): 
former governor of Wisconsin whose major 
contributors were HMOs, hospital chains, 
nursing homes, prisons, clinics, doctors 
and insurance companies. Phillip Morris 
gave him $72,000 in campaign contributions.

[two extra things non-wisconsinites 
should know about Thompson: 
1) it is uncertain who will spend less 
time in DC with him, wife or girlfriend.
2) He does NOT (I repeat: N O T ) own the 
world's largest collection of toupes.]







POETRY SUBMISSION
Hope this is to your liking...

"Jetsam"
("And presently a severe storm came up on 
the sea, so that the ship was hidden by the 
waves; but He lay sleeping." Matthew 8:24)

When I invited You along for the ride
I expected easy sailing.
When I let You borrow my life I expected
sails full of Windy purpose.
I expected docks in peaceful harbors and
Mediterranean warmth in receptive bays.

I’ve been in storms before You boarded My
life and insisted on taking the helm.
I’ve climbed myself out of craggy wrecks
leaving flotsam bobbing behind me.

But now You sleep while I strain against
the torrent and anger,
now you rest while I wake in light or dark
with plans of escape or escapade from danger.

This severity has dashed my courage upon the 
rocks, this gale has torn my resolve in tatters,
these waves have hidden me from onshore help and
I fear my
loss of hope more than
loss of life.

While You sleep, I wake.

Would you bid me to leave my rescue and join 
Your rest?
Would I jettison personal cargo to lay my head 
upon Your breast?
In the storm?
Hidden from hope?

finding His rest,
mark p.
