Reformatted, because LB does make a point about those using IE, even with version 8, it still screws up the display if you run pics/YT videos together like that. "That's a feature not a bug." (Bill Gates)

As the comments section on the article seems to be saying, these pics have been floating around for some time. True, we've seen the "Lennon lying down" and other pics here already. Good stuff regardless, but there must be more to the story here, because why is Murray all of a sudden selling copies of something he has allegedly owned all these years? You don't just 'remember' owning something like this, especially if they have been circulating on the internet for years unless he's been suffering from amnesia. Sounds like what went "missing" were his legal rights to the pictures, and somehow he got them back..

Getreal, Making an account was not necessary, you could have put this in the guest board, kinda what it's there for.. Which is where I'm moving it, but anyway..
Blessings to you too, but this is hardly the most shocking thing one might encounter on the internet, anyone who spends just an afternoon looking around is bound to see much worse, don't you think?

It's gonna be 5 yrs in minimum security federal prison & he can keep his house, car & inheritance. Good that they didn't ream him on the property confiscation, (mighty good of them, eh) but the five years sucks. We all know that stealing is wrong, murdering someone is wrong, but it took a piece of paper and a signature to make using/growing a certain plant substance wrong.. Perfectly OK up until 1937, (or thereabouts) and then it isn't. Just like a magic trick! Who benefits from the illegality of marijuana: The police, the prison industry, and of course the black market infrastructure, which was out of work once prohibition ended.

I agree with P(D)enny, the best stuff was already out there, the only difference here is the inclusion of some B sides and a couple of other groups.. Not much there. I suspect The Ballad of William and Mary was something Terry Knight wrote completely unrelated to PID, just needed a B side.

Sorry Eyesbleed that does suck. And I just don't get the whole "federal detention" thing, because.. This should IMO be a state issue, NOT federal, the federal govt. is overreaching on 10th amendment grounds. However the constitution has been turned into toilet paper the last few decades, why should this be any different? If California out and out legalizes and taxes, CA will be drawing a line in the sand.. Should be VERY interesting. OK Jarv, that IS bud porn, LOL. I haven't picked up an issue in many years, but I remember the "centerfold" of High Times often looked similar to the pic you posted, heh.

In other news, a new tape of Osama Bin Laden has him blaming the US for global warming.. No, this is NOT satire from Theonion.com. From Fox News, and I'm assuming it's being presented as a serious story. Can I get a WTF! www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,584249,00.html
CAIRO — Usama bin Laden sought to draw a wider public into his fight against the United States in a new message Friday, dropping his usual talk of religion and holy war and focusing instead on an unexpected topic: global warming.
The Al Qaeda leader blamed the United States and other industrialized nations for climate change and said the only way to prevent disaster was to break the American economy, calling on the world to boycott U.S. goods and stop using the dollar.
"The effects of global warming have touched every continent. Drought and deserts are spreading, while from the other floods and hurricanes unseen before the previous decades have now become frequent," bin Laden said in the audiotape, aired on the Arab TV network Al-Jazeera.
The terror leader noted Washington's rejection of the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and painted the United States as in the thrall of major corporations that he said "are the true criminals against the global climate" and are to blame for the global economic crisis, driving "tens of millions into poverty and unemployment."
Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders have mentioned global warming and struck an anti-globalization tone in previous tapes and videos. But the latest was the first message by bin Laden solely dedicated to the topic. It was also nearly entirely empty of the Islamic militant rhetoric that usually fills his declarations.
The change in rhetoric aims to give Al Qaeda's message an appeal beyond hardcore Islamic militants, said Evan Kohlmann, of globalterroralert.com, a private, U.S.-based terrorism analysis group.
"It's a bridge issue," Kohlmann said. "They are looking to appeal to people who don't necessarily love Al Qaeda but who are angry at the U.S. and the West, to galvanize them against the West" and make them more receptive to "alternative solutions like adopting violence for the cause."
"If you're looking to draw people who are disenchanted or disillusioned, what better issue to use than global warming," he said. While the focus on climate may be new, the tactic itself is not, he said: Al Qaeda used issues like the abuse of prisoners by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib in Iraq and the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay to reach out to Muslims who might not be drawn to Al Qaeda's ideology but are angry over the injustices.
Bin Laden "looks to see the issues that are the most cogent and more likely to get popular support," Kohlmann said.
The Al Qaeda leader's call for an economic boycott helps in the appeal -- providing a nonviolent way to participate in opposing the United States.
"People of the world, it's not right for the burden to be left on the mujahedeen (holy warriors) in an issue that causes harm to everyone," he said. "Boycott them to save yourselves and your possessions and your children from climate change and to live proud and free."
Al-Jazeera aired excerpts of the message and posted a transcript on its Web site. The tape's authenticity could not be independently confirmed, but the voice resembled that of bin Laden on messages known to be from him. The new message comes after a bin Laden tape released last week in which he endorsed a failed attempt to blow up an American airliner on Christmas Day.
In the new tape, bin Laden refers to the Dec. 18 climate conference in Copenhagen -- indicated the message was made recently.
The message -- whose length Al-Jazeera did not specify -- makes only brief passing mentions of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine and instead hits on issues that could resonate at a time of widespread economic woes.
"The world is held hostage by major corporations, which are pushing it to the brink," he said. "World politics are not governed by reason but by the force and greed of oil thieves and warmongers and the cruel beasts of capitalism."
To stop global warming, he called for the "wheels of the American economy" to be brought to a halt. "This is possible ... if the peoples of the world stop consuming American goods."
"We must also stop dealings in the dollar and get rid of it as soon as possible," he said. "I know that this has great consequences and grave ramifications, but it is the only means to liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America."
He also called for the "punishing and holding to account" of corporation chiefs, adding, "this should be easy for the American people to do, particularly those who were effected by Hurricane Katrina or those who lost their jobs, since these criminals live among them, particularly in Washington, New York and Texas."
The message represents a honing of Al Qaeda's rhetoric. In 2007, bin Laden issued a tape in which he warned that human life is endangered by global warning, and he blamed democratic systems for seeking the interests of major corporations, said the U.S.-based Site Intelligence Group, which monitors Islamic militant message traffic.
But in Friday's message, the anti-democracy rhetoric is dropped.
"It's populism, pure and simple," Kohlmann said.

The blond girl is Heather, pretty sure. But, she seems to be missing her right arm. Takes a bit to notice, as the leg of the woman in the background is where the arm should be, and even if she was holding her hand behind her back, you'd see something I would think.
Interesting to find the original or originals.

You are repeating yourself.Enough. This falls under the category of a rant, (certainly not a clue, although you perhaps feel you are telling us to get one) so it's been moved to the guest board.

On the flip side of "St Paul" was "(The Legend of) William and Mary", part of this "PID hoax" CD being sold on Ebay. Well, hell yeah I gotta hear that song! (the others may be interesting) Waiting on delivery from England, will post here when I get it.

Directed by Michael Lindsey Hogg, who directed Let It Be amongst other Beatle activities. The movie has a disclaimer at the beginning to the effect that this is how the film makers 'imagined' things went down, however.. That may not be entirely true, as L-H may have heard a story from one (or both) participant. This movie is alright so far, thanks LB. From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Lindsay-HoggOn 19 & 20 May 1966 Lindsay-Hogg directed two pairs of film clips (then known as "filmed inserts") to promote The Beatles current single Paperback Writer.
On 4 September 1968 at Twickenham Film Studios Hogg directed the promotional film for the new single "Hey Jude" with Paul McCartney himself designing the set. The event is also memorable as it marked Ringo Starr's return to the group after a two-week hiatus, during which he had announced that he had left the band. The final cut was a combination of several different takes, twelve having been filmed during the entire days session, according to the actor Marc Sinden who was in the film along with his brother Jeremy.
In 1970, he directed the full-length documentary Let It Be.
In 2000, he directed the VH1 television movie entitled Two of Us, named after the song of the same name, a track from The Beatles' final album, Let It Be. The movie is a fictionalized account of 24 April 1976, (six years after the break-up of The Beatles) the day Lorne Michaels made a statement on Saturday Night Live in which he offered The Beatles $3000.00 to appear on his program. The story is told through a series of conversations between John Lennon (Jared Harris) and Paul McCartney (Aidan Quinn).

Hey everyone, thanks for the kind remarks and great videos.. Dee Long, wow! I'm on my 48th year, and ya know, that seemed really old when I was in my twenties.. Not so much now, heh. ;D I'll take the opportunity to thank everyone who posts here to make this still by far the most interesting forum on the 'internets' to read and which to participate. You're the best!

LB wrote an interesting bit about breaking news on the teletype machines in TV stations on the other thread. So I wonder if newspapers and radio stations got the same info? A newspaper would have the luxury of time, especially if it came over in the early evening.. too late for evening editions, and long enough before the AM printing to kill it. Perhaps one of the tabloids at least reported on it the next day, if only to say it was a mistake?

Went home for Christmas and was blown away by a gift my family gave me: A mint copy of the Revolution Take... Your Knickers Off bootleg. Whoa. I'm going to have some fun listening to this. Sounds interesting, all the "Come and Get It" you could ask for.. bigozine2.com/roio/?p=149

I'd tell all of you guys to go see Doc, but he's even dragged into this mess. Do you guys really think the Beatles would do this much planning in just one album ? Really, think about what they were doing at the time. All they tried to accomplish was make a record that was never seen before, and they did. Nothing more. Nothing less. THE END. All of you guys look like a bunch of fools with this nonsense, and it's getting to the point where I'm having trouble typing from laughing so hard. Oh I see someone lacking in imagination has to have their say.. Duly noted. But really, the argument that it's too much work to create something with multiple and divergent meanings in the time it appears to have taken is only something you can guess at. For all you know, this was in the works for years. Or not, but we have fun playing around with it, so.. if it gives you a much needed laugh to get through the day, all the better.

Another good video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF31ImEozbAYou make a good point P(D)enny, one thing to do is visit the pages of MSM web articles and if they have a comments section, hit it hard.. Needless to say, almost all MSM stories are written to defend the AGW "scientists", and hah the comments are often 100-1 slamming the lame articles.
