I immediately went out and bought their hardcore punk album Reagan's In and wore it out over time playing it so much.

I first saw Wasted Youth early in 1982 at the Hollywood Palladium when they played with T.S.O.L., the Adolescents, Social Distortion, Youth Brigade, and others. It was an amazing show with a very active mosh pit!

I blended the footage with digital audio from their album and made this fan video from live footage of the band as well as post-gig footage at Oki Dog in Hollywood, Los Angeles, all shot by Dave Markey.

Dave Markey of We Got Power Films, drummer of Sin 34, was very ambitious and always carried a movie camera and film with him back then. And from the footage he shot, he made some short films and the punkumentary The SLOG Movie, featuring a number of SoCal bands including Sin 34.

Women's March takes to the streets of downtown Los Angeles

(NBCLA) March 8, 2025: Thousands of protesters, women and allies, gathered at Pershing Square in downtown before marching several blocks to LA City Hall for a march on International Women's March. Amber Frias reports for the NBC4 News at 6:00 pm on March 7, 2025.

Pink pussyhat riots and disorderly marches, why not? It's also Be Nasty Day. What better way toward progress than civil disobedience?

• BE NASTY DAY - March 8, 2025

Fight the power. Buy the tee-shirt? DIY

Imagine a gender equal world: a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination, a world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive, a world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge gender equality. Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction.

International women's symbol

International Women's Day (IWD) has been around for over a century, and now it's time to pack it up because women have achieved complete equality! 

No, many issues are still impacting women, holding back more than half the world. Since 1911, this day has been for all who care about women's equality.

Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to forge gender parity.

Um, "all IWD activity is valid," really?

All IWD activity is valid -- burning bras, leading Law of Attraction manifestation workshops, attending pricey DEI seminars, sewing white flags and giving up, gaining weight until obese, knitting pink caps with little ears and marching for corporate sponsors, making posters, forming a Pussy Riot punk collective or skittle band and playing in a church without permission, getting doodle tats, filing lawsuits, turning into men and fighting for the other side, sitting at home depressed, watching Pearl videos, all of it (well, maybe not all, Pearl Davis must be stopped!) -- that's what makes IWD so inclusive.

Pearls of Wizdumb (or brilliant irony?)

Pearl believes she's helping women by being honest as she sees it, even if women hate it. She has become a rallying point for women against Pearl and her outrageous pro-male views in a patriarchal society. So if SHE believes, is that "valid"? If someone thinks s/he's helping, is that enough? Is that the standard? Men males are allies, whether all women are or not, whether females think so or not.

Pearl will not stop, so should she be stopped? - What about Whatever? There's no patriarchy?

Muslim gal strips to protest Morality Police

Iran's Morality Police beats and arrests woman who stripped to protest "abusive" Hijab Police | Vantage with Palki Sharma

There's Buddhism in Russia.

(Firstpost) Nov. 4, 2024: Iran, in the fight of its life with genocidal Israel (backed by its US arms supplier) has no idea what PR means.

It has arrested a woman who stripped in protest at "abusive" hijab (burqa covering) policing after volunteer paramilitary Basij members physically harassed her for not wearing hijab properly.

They ripped the student's hijab and tore her clothes [as happened once to a girl in a blue bra in Sodom's Iraq when US war criminals under Bush, Dick, and Colon were warmongering for US corporations and weapons dealers with help from Condi and Rumsfeld].

Pres. Putin deploys his Reptilian "evil eye"

• Wisdom Quarterly widely followed the feminist nude protests of Femen and Pussy Riot's provocations against Russian oppression, which seem in retrospect to have been funded by the CIA/Western intelligence agencies to provoke Pres. Vlad Putin and Russia into war with NATO. Similar nude protests at the beach and on bike rides in the United States attract attention and coverage to important double standards. Large women's marches with pink knitted caps followed.
• Buddhism in Ukraine, once called the heart of Russia

Topless and nude Femen2 protesters (NPR)

After the confrontation, the female student walked around the campus without her clothes on, in protest. Then she was manhandled and arrested, allegedly beaten up by the morality police squad.

Would a soldier strike a naked lady?

While the woman's condition and whereabouts are currently unknown, she is being applauded on social media for her “bravery” to stand up against gendered violence and state oppression.

Meanwhile, it seems not much has changed for Iran, which was rocked by nationwide protests against the dress code after Mahsa Amini’s death in the custody of the morality police in 2022.

Punk for a Day w/ Danny Elfman, Iggy Pop

Today is "Punk for a Day" Day, and coincidentally Danny "Oingo Boingo" Elfman appeared on the "Horselaugh and Fred Show" on KLOS (95.5 FM, Los Angeles) to judge some new music for "Stay or Go" on New Music Friday. Elfman is doing of Day of the Dead concert November 2, 2024, at the Hollywood Bowl.

• Tickets: Danny Elfman, Hollywood Bowl, 11/2/24

This will serve as his Halloween spectacular which he tries to pull off every year. He leads an orchestra to score films, but he does so much more, including working on a new album. He skyrocketed to fame with Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo (a sound that may be onomatopoeia for a bouncing bedspring) and his appearance in the fifth dimension.

We fell in love on hearing Jed the Fish play a song called "I'm Afraid." It was scary good and catchy, "Peace of mind, peace of mind, hard to keep, hard to find." Oingo Boingo formed, and it was never heard again. There were just too many OB hits like "Only a Lad" filling the airwaves.

Elfman talked a little about the beginnings this morning on the HF Show, in which a sickly woman with an extra-long tongue cleans Fred's crack (Irish craik), his budding side project station, on a regular basis. And she does it some more, imitating Robin Quivers, weekday mornings.

I'm Mad Max, with Jonesy and Jane, and this is CARMAGEDDON, LA

The big news in LA today is "carmageddon," as the LA Dodgers show the New York Yankees what's what with secret weapon Japanese Shohei Ohtani (pronounced \show-me da-muh-nee\), who is bringing thousands of fans over from Japan, where millions monitor him and watch games.

• ABC 7 News, Los Angeles: LA traffic nightmare as World Series and cluster of downtown events spark congestion concerns

The previous greatest Dodger ever (legendary pitcher Fernando Valenzuela) just passed away this week, so there's extra fervor in Chavez Ravine, site of Dodger Stadium and this evening's game.

But Imagine Dragons is playing, and there about three other big shows around town plus countless Halloween parties everyone's attending. One does not want to drive anywhere.

What better way to commemorate the day than LA's Wasted Youth, a hardcore band from back in the day. They attended Uni High, near UCLA, an iconic place, alma mater for many, including Elfman. (Wasted Youth's "Uni High Beefrag" is a pretty funny song if vulgar and possibly misogynistic with typical sophomoric enthusiasm).

Punk for a Day Day

Today, October 25th, is all about celebrating the punk movement and punk music. This is because the movement is amongst the largest in the world and has some distinguishing factors.

For instance, punks dress in a certain way and possess a non-conformist attitude. Due to this, they are often stereotyped and treated as outsiders.

However, this does not change how great the movement is as people continue to join it even today. Moreover, punk bands are heard across the world, and this form of music is created in different languages. (Think of Pussy Riot yelling in Russian). Here is more on the glorious history of the movement. More

Legal US sex work: Alien Cathouse; Epstein

Judge me, shame me, and keep me in business because of Puritan America's double standardss

Courtesan and disciple of the Buddha Ambapali

Can one be a sex positive Buddhist? Is there such a thing? Can consensual sex between adults be in line with the Five Precepts? Yes. Can there be such a thing as "ethical non-monogamy"? Can one be jealous but work it out? Would society remain standing if we stripped out the hypocrisy and double standards?

Wisdom Quarterly stood up for the women of Femen (FEMEN), for going topless in public, for naked bike riding, for Pussy Riot (anti-Putin demonstrating). So what about sex work? The legal version seems a giant improvement over the version rampant everywhere.

We are moved by the ancient story of the great Buddhist courtesan Ambapali (Sanskrit Amrapali). Did the Buddha accept her? Did he celebrate her? Did he criticize her and tell her to knock it off? She was devoted to supporting the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha (the Teacher, Teaching, and successfully Taught).

What it's like living and working at Nevada's "Alien Cat House" in the desert outside Area 51

(Wonderhussy Adventures) June 7, 2024: Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #800. Date of this adventure: May 21, 2024: Wonderhussy goes visiting legal American courtesan Lana Love and the ladies at the Alien Cathouse (in Nye County near the famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch), one of Nevada's many legal "love ranches" or brothels. Nevada is the only state in the USA that has legalized prostitution and cat houses where it is engaged in. Prostitution is practiced in every state and city, but hypocritically, the U.S. is ashamed of its sex work. The country is not sex positive, nor is the popular religion.

Who were you molesting there, Mr. Trump? - Laws don't apply to me. I've got immunity.

Child molesting politicians, OK, but Prince A?

(The Fugitive) Shocking new video of Jeffrey Epstein's Island (Little St. James) goes viral.  July 19, 2024: What were former Pres. Bill Clinton (called "John Doe 36" in legal documents), Pres. Don John Trump (though not Pres. Joe Biden), Prince Andrew, and others doing on Pedophile Island? Actors accused child molester Kevin Spacey and comedian Chris Tucker also took the "Lolita Express" which shuttles clients and blackmail victims to the island brothel or forcible cathouse. Epstein's attorneys Alan Dershowitz, Ken Starr, and Roy Black tried to defend the convicted child molester and ringleader, securing a "sweetheart deal" for accused child sex trafficker Epstein and his co-conspirators.
