Muse

I've always had an interest in the women that inspire art, music, literature. They have this sort of raw quality that shines through even in photographs. Marianne Faithfull, Pattie Boyd, Marsha Hunt, Uschi Obermaier, and many more inspired, loved and got their hearts broken by the Jaggers, Claptons and Harrisons of the world. Pattie Boyd (first photo) seemed to have had the deepest effect on these men, inspiring infamous songs such as 'Something' and 'Wonderful Tonight'. I forget the name of the women in the last photo (possibly Anita Pallenberg), but goddamn does she look like Rachel McAdams! All these photos just make me want to watch Almost Famous immediately.

Let It Enfold You


I began to feel good,
I began to feel good
in the worst situations
and there were plenty
of those.
like say, the boss
behind his desk,
he is going to have
to fire me.

I've missed too many
days.
he is dressed in a
suit, necktie, glasses,
he says, "I am going
to have to let you go"

"it's all right" I tell
him.

He must do what he
must do, he has a
wife, a house, children.
expenses, most probably
a girlfriend.

I am sorry for him
he is caught.

I walk onto the blazing
sunshine.
the whole day is
mine
temporarily,
anyhow.

You Don't Know Jack


You Don't Know Jack is the most brilliant film I have seen in a long long time. It's unfortunate that most people outside of America probably won't have heard of it, considering that it was a HBO film that only premiered once on the channel. It tells the story of Jack Kevorkian, an enlightened doctor who believes that everyone has the right to choose whether they should live or die. It will make your heart break as well as make you feel anger towards the higher powers in government and religious organisations for their backward laws and ideologies. Watch it IMMEDIATELY!

Dignified Death


Well, let's take what people think is a dignified death. Jesus Christ, was that a dignified death? Do you think it's dignified to hang from wood with nails through your hands and feet bleeding, hang for three or four days slowly dying, with people jabbing spears into your side, and people jeering you? Do you think that's dignified? Not by a long shot. Had Christ died in my van with people around Him who loved Him, the way it was, it would be far more dignified. In my rusty van."

-Dr. Jack Kevorkian, July 29, 1996
