<div></div>
<div>I played it last year while a group of friends and I sat around drinking  hot cocoa.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Please let da boyz know they&#8217;ve become a holiday crowd pleaser!</div>
<div></div>
<div>Paul</p>
<p>* * * * *</p>
<div>ah, Paul, you sick puppy!  But yes, we make  the best Xmas specials!  That reminds me, on LUVER we are in the middle of  our Xmas special!  Right now every other song is a Xmas song and on Xmas  week every song will be a Xmas song.  We have the largest universal Xmas  collection&#8230;  All the classics, many rarities and novelties&#8230;  And  then there are the Songs that put the X in Xmas!  </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Speaking of Xmas&#8230;  Our Xmas tradition is  watching BADDER SANTA!</p>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Da Boyz picked up next month&#8217;s performance flier  from the xerox place we have used for decades and our Xmas card was at the desk  as an example of their work.</p>

<p>today we tried to put up a Xmas video of extreme Elvis and I singing Xmas Songs together. But we got the below automatic rejection for copyright infringement. Obviously ELVIS is an automatic trigger, even though there are many EXTREME ELVIS videos on YOUTUBE.</p>



<p>And speaking of Xmas video, and remembering that YOUTUBE took the video of me down, here is one of our Xmas classics that has been up on YOUTUBE for years [watched by over eight thousands], <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stIWdLqLvrM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stIWdLqLvrM</a>. Well, it is piss your pants funny video of Da Boyz hanging /dangling out at the BLUE HOUSE waiting for Santa, if you get my drift. That stays up!</p>

<p>they [the people who freak out at my work &lt;btw,&gt;] are jealous of the joy and the freedom [which is erotic] that comes from the taking Of personal responsibility to risk to do what they really want. &lt;/btw,&gt;</p>

<p>Totally agree on that : you&#8217;re a living example of it ;</p>



<p>a Movie will never replace this. Nor will any music <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>Hope it will give some people the curiosity to start a relationship with you, through the e-salon or by assisting your performances.</p>



<p>* * * * *</p>



<p>shucks, Rafael!</p>



<p>Btw, you can still watch the complete video of the NOTE performance at <a href="http://www.eroplay.com/Cave/thenote2009/index.html">http://www.eroplay.com/Cave/thenote2009/index.html</a>. I don&#8217;t believe in Depending on sites like YOUTUBE to get the work out!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Frank.  I loved what you had to say about people having the &#8220;right&#8221; to not  be offended and to have their comfort zones forcibly protected.  I was wondering  if you knew of a brilliant author named Phillip Pullman who&#8217;s been under attack  lately for saying pretty much the same thing.</p>
<p>My lover Tyr and I are huge  fans of Phillip Pullman.  He&#8217;s an atheist who believes that organized religion  has caused immeasurable levels of bigotry, conformity, and violence in the  world.  He is also the author of the young-adult trilogy His Dark Materials,  which include The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass.  The  books encourage children to THINK.  At that age I remember a deep appreciation  for the respect for children&#8217;s brains that came through in the writing, when  many people have the unconscious or conscious belief that children are inferior,  less intelligent beings.  These books are some of the most sensual,  enlightening, wonder-inspiring books I&#8217;d ever read, and I enjoy reading them  even more than I did as a child.</p>
<p>Recently he wrote a new book called The  Good Man Jesus and The Scoundrel Christ.  He&#8217;s been under attack lately from a  lot of people who say that this new book and its title are offensive to  Christians.  Some have demanded that he publicly apologize for &#8220;offending  people&#8221;.  Here is a wonderful 2-minute clip on what he had to say about that.   It&#8217;s very close to what you said about people having the &#8220;right&#8221; to not be  offended &#8216;and to have their &#8220;comfort zones&#8221; be respected, honored, and forcibly  protected,&#8217; and I literally cheered to watch it.</p>

<p>PS, who&#8217;s Paul Krassner?  That name sounds incredibly familiar, a person  I may have been exposed to in the last couple of days in some way.</p>

<p>that is a great clip /quote, Katie!  I will play it on my Berkeley  community public access cable show.  One of the functions of art is to go  outside of the margins of the NORMAL /ACCEPTABLE to explore and question and  expand, breaking down the old boxes.  All of this threatens and offends those  who are invested in the RIGHT /COMFORTABLE way.</p>
<p>Also the big lie is we  are weak, fragile, so we need to be careful, need to protect ourselves, to  always be just dipping our toes in the water instead of going all the way,  instead of  living with irresistible abandon.  The truth is being careful is  what creates fragility.  Getting dirty, tasty, going all the way gives you a  freedom and a healthy immune system!</p>
<p>see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Krassner">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Krassner</a>  for the overview of Paul Krassner.  Basically he&#8217;s one of the Counter culture&#8217;s  mothers&#8230;  And one of my heroes since high school when I got into trouble for  getting THE REALIST, his no-bars satire zine.  And check <a href="http://www.eroplay.com/krassner.html">http://www.eroplay.com/krassner.html</a>  which is my interview with him I did  in the mid- nineties.</p>
<p>In  Freedom,<br />Frank Moore</p>
