People enjoy festive activities held to celebrate the Van Gogh Museum’s 50th anniversary on the Museum Square in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, June 2, 2023. The Van Gogh Museum hosted a series of festive activities here to commemorate its 50th anniversary and honour the legacy of Vincent van Gogh, one of the most famous and prolific Dutch artists.
China’s unbridled charm offensive continues! Mao Zedong often spoke of “Puppet States” and “Paper Tigers” between cigarettes – but who would have thought that a mere 47-years after the passing of this Great Man – a number of US Citizens would be experiencing “BOTH” within the precincts of Fujian Eastern province’s ‘Zhangzhou’ province! Of course, to be on the safe-side, the US ‘Delegation’ was not only “multicultural” – but even contained a Chinese expatriate – Tian Chao (田超) – presumably for “translation” purposes (as this young woman speaks fluent England and Chinese – and can read and write in both languages)! An “Official” translator is never far behind to ensure that all multicultural interactions unfold in a smooth and amicable fashion (on both sides). The names that I have comprising this US Delegation (including ‘Tian Chao’) are ‘Carla Canales’, ‘Tom Tisley’, ‘Monite Mesfin’ and ‘Josan Francis’. This non-governmental exchange was facilitated by the Zhangzhou People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries!
‘When I see Wasps and Hornets flying around possessing good food and living in the best dwellings whilst Bees suffer deprivation and impoverishment – I am inspired to do something about it! Yes – this I swear to you – my dear Comrades! Oh yes – these dominant populations cannot be reasoned with – they cannot even speak – but one language I am sure they understand is that of violence and force! I will take action against these undesirable populations by using different mixes of pesticides! Eradicating troublesome (competing) populations is the only way!’
Perhaps underrated and virtually forgotten (as GG Allin rolls around on broken glass, sh’t, vomit and his own blood – whilst ‘shouting’ incoherently into a mic) is the staying power of his backing group! They soldier on playing the drums and guitar – whilst stagehands keep an eye on the violence by regulating its intensity – ensuring GG Allin is not overwhelmed by multiple opponents or beaten too far into unconsciousness (as there is a show to perform)! GG Allin certainly seems to take a good shot and always comes back for more whilst serenely detached from the events he is the centre and has unleashed. Occasionally, the drummer has to stand the cymbal back up or realign the bass drum with the snare, etc, sometimes continuing to bang away with a single drumstick whilst these adjustments are made, and prostrate bodies cleared away from the working area! The guitarist seems to think he’s in ‘Nirvana’ with the manner of his dress and his indifference to the madness that is unfolding around him! Every so often he fires a well-aimed kick at the body (or head) of an unsuspecting audience member who has just fallen over his own legs – or some part of GG Allin’s anatomy! All Grist for the mill.
On the Jane Whitney (who?) Show – GG Allin gives a magnificent diatribe about overthrowing the Establishment and defying the Police – and then spoilt it all by stating that he ‘f’cks’ 16-year-old, 11 and 12-year-old ‘girls’ – and that they ‘like it’ and ‘volunteer’ for him to carry out this delinquent behaviour! During 1993 America – the time of Waco – the American audience just nervously ‘tittered’ when hearing this admittance of ‘paedophilia’ and ‘sexual assault’ – whilst the female Presenter simply rolls-on with her scripted Show! The main concern is not the supposed ages of the girls concerned – but rather the potential threat to his health through contracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases!
