Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart



Tania

[url=http://rapidshare.de/files/38508495/RS_198_Patty.pdf.html]Oh, my beloved Tania
How I long to see your face photographed in
fifteen second intervals
In a bank in San Leandro
A Polaroid of you, Cinque
With a seven-headed dragon
In a house in Daly City

Don't be sad, my beloved Tania
They say your father never liked Stephen Weed anyway
Hired a detective
To follow him around[/url]



[url=http://rapidshare.de/files/38508496/RS_200_Tania.pdf.html]Oh, my beloved revolutionary sweetheart
I can see your newsprint face turn yellow in the gutter
It makes me sad
How I long for the days when you came to liberate us from boredom
From driving around
from the hours between five to seven in the evening

My beloved Tania,
We carry your gun deep within our hearts
For no better reason than our lives have no meaning
And we want to be on television[/url] - CVB

Graphic Violence Warning: Burly actress assaults heiress with payphone

[b]SERIAL MOM

oh, Annie!
Serial Mom is one of my all time faves. i used to love Kathleen Turner back then.

Plus, L7's cameo as what was it, Camel Toe??

The Patty Hearst saga is compelling social history I also find fascinating but the gun thing ain't.

Sorry for the following tone of preachiness but there IS an effort to portray the internet as a petrie dish for terrorism and that Thought Crime bill afoot with ISP filtering being peddled. Australia just went into internet censorship mode.

Picking up a gun is not the (r)evolution solution.
Just the opposite. That's THE PROBLEM.

The recent documentary about the Weather Underground is must see history to see how violent the USG was in the 1960s but the Weathermen choosing violent tactics, even just as vandalism, was a terribly counterproductive (and endangering of life and limb) and made the FBI rub its hands in glee as the movement discredited itself in the eyes of TV nation.

The Culture of Violence is what many of us want to see stopped so that social evolution (which is inevitable) can continue unimpeded by militarism and its provocateurs.

...stepping off boring old no fun soap box...

Oh, BTW- 'Serial Mom' is typical of the zillions of movies portraying women as dangerous and not to be trusted, a military recruiting theme best exemplified by the Evil Commie Mom who sabotages her boy in 'The Manchurian Candidate.'

These stereotypes support real violence.

In 1987 both Michael Crichton in his book, 'The Sphere,' and Bill Cosby in his crap movie 'Leonard Part 6' portrayed a woman as an evil violent 'ecoterrorist,' a new stereotype being marketed and soon used against Judi Bari when someone planted a pipebomb in her car and she was prosecuted for it.

And life is grand
And I will say this at the risk of falling from favour
With those of you who have appointed yourselves
To expect us to say something darker....

The Patty Hearst saga is compelling social history I also find fascinating but the gun thing ain't.

That's cool Hugh. to be honest, i included the pics because they are referenced in the lyrics of the Camper Van Beethoven song, "Tania".
The "fifteen second intervals" and the "seven headed dragon"....

I am just a big CVB fan and hotlinking the lyrics seemed like a fitting thing to do.

I am sure many on RI have read various theories on the whole Patty Hearst saga and the dark machinations behind it:

Here is another CVB song that you might like better Hugh, funnily enough it is called "Sweethearts":

'Cause he's always living back in Dixon
Circa nineteen-fortynine
And we're all sitting at the fountain
at the five and dime

'Cause he's living in some B-movie
The lines they are so clearly drawn
In black and white life is so easy
And we're all coming along on this one

'Cause he's on a secret mission
Headquarters just radioed in
He left his baby at the dancehall
While the band plays on some sweet song

And on a mission over China
The lady opens up her arms
The flowers bloom where you have placed them
And the lady smiles, just like mom

Angels wings are icing over
McDonnell-Douglas olive drab
They bear the names of our sweethearts
And the captain smiles, as we crash

'Cause in the mind of Ronald Reagan
Wheels they turn and gears they grind
Buildings collapse in slow motion
And the trains collide, everything is fine
Everything is fine
Everything is fine

I am not going to let some thought crime law stop me from referencing the things from my past that I cherish, and CVB is one of those things. It is as simple as that. If the brain police want to take me out, they will.

Oh, BTW- 'Serial Mom' is typical of the zillions of movies portraying women as dangerous and not to be trusted, a military recruiting theme best exemplified by the Evil Commie Mom who sabotages her boy in 'The Manchurian Candidate.'

I remember being in the theater watching "Serial Mom" with my friends and laughing our asses off. Because Beverly Sutphin is bat shit crazy, but everyone she kills is a terrible person. I was glad she killed them.

Dottie Hinkle: Hello?
Beverly Sutphin: Is this the Cocksucker residence?
Dottie Hinkle: God damn you! Stop calling here!
Beverly Sutphin: Is this 4215 Pussy Way?
Dottie Hinkle: You bitch!
Beverly Sutphin: Now let me check the zip code. Two-one-two-fuck-you?
Dottie Hinkle: The police are tracing this call this very minute.
Beverly Sutphin: Well, Dottie Hinkle, then why aren't they here, huh, fuckface?
Dottie Hinkle: FUCK YOU!

[hangs up]

Beverly Sutphin: Bwaahahahaha!

[immediately calls her back]

Dottie Hinkle: DIDN'T I JUST SAY FUCK YOU?
Beverly Sutphin: [in a different voice] I beg your pardon?
Dottie Hinkle: Who is this?
Beverly Sutphin: Mrs. Wilson from the telephone company. We understand you're having some trouble with an obscene phone caller?
Dottie Hinkle: Oh Mrs. Wilson, I'm so sorry. These calls are driving me crazy! I've had my number changed twice already. I'm a divorced woman, please help me.
Beverly Sutphin: Well what exactly does this sick individual say to you?
Dottie Hinkle: I can't say the words out loud, I don't use bad language.
Beverly Sutphin: Oh yes I know it's difficult but we need to know the exact words.
Dottie Hinkle: I'll try. COCKSUCKER, that's what she calls me.
Beverly Sutphin: [reverting to the original voice] LISTEN TO YOUR FILTHY MOUTH, YA FUCKIN WHORE!
Dottie Hinkle: GODDAMN YOU!
Beverly Sutphin: MOTHERFUCKER!
Dottie Hinkle: COCKSUCKER!

I agree with you about "Leonard Part 6" though, what a bad movie....

....And love is real
And though I realize this is not a deep observation
To those of you who find it necessary to conceal love
Or obscure it, as is the fashion

Patty Hearst's dog wins award
French bulldog shares spotlight with infamous owner
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/m ... index.html

Far, far removed from the days when her image as a machine gun-toting revolutionary captivated a nation, Patricia Hearst Shaw was in more genteel surroundings Monday. She was tending to Diva at Madison Square Garden, petting her soft head on dogdom's biggest day.

Surrounded by Cardigan Welsh corgis, Chinese shar-peis and Parson Russell terriers, she blended right in at the Westminster Kennel Club show.

"When people find out it's me, it's like it doesn't make sense," the 53-year-old Shaw said. "The Frenchie people know me because I've been around. But others, they seemed surprised."

That basically summed up Mitzie McGavic's reaction. In town from Florida to root for her friend's Australian shepherd, she was startled to learn who was standing a few feet away.

"You're kidding. Is she the Patty Hearst?" McGavic asked. "Showing dogs at Westminster, who knew?"

Shaw has been working with dogs for three years, and her first trip to Westminster was well worth it. Her prize, with a champion's name of Shann's Legally Blonde, earned a red ribbon as Best of Opposite Sex -- a male dog won the breed, and hers was judged the top female.

"It's overwhelming," she said.
