Once you compromise, there is no going back... ...you've got HALF of Satan's pecker in your mouth already; the rest couldn't do any more harm now could it? -Craig Koon

time (which appears at left) was found in the July 5 1995 issue. The paper also runs a number of mail order ads including one which offers audio and video tapes of speeches by Farrakhan like "Why Got Hates Divorce (Parts I&II)," "Mating: The Idea of Genetic Engineering," "Satan and The Mastery Of The Sexual Urges," and- I kid you not- "How To Give Birth To A God (Parts I-V)."

DRUG USE IN THE US: In Memphis this summer, I was struck by how healthy and robust the garage/punk show-goers seemed. Upon returning to Austin, I noticed how sickly, wan, pale, frail, and all strung-out the kids look here (especially, of course, at Emo's- the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Austin music scene). I have two theories which may explain this cultural phenomenon. Theory #1: Here in Austin, we have a more serious heroin and pill problem. In the last month I have seen two bands take pills on stage, one band even threw their extras into the audience (some recipients sucked 'em down immediately, not even knowing what they were.) During a recent discussion of this situation, Craig Koon observed, "Did I mention it's really punk?" A brief and incomplete survey of the Memphis scene suggests that most you rock'n'roll Memphians drink and smoke. Maybe that's why everthing's so slow there. Sedate. Theory #2: The incredible soul food available in the Bluff City is next to impossible to resist no matter what altered state you happen to exist in. And food like that tends to foster a healthy plumpness if you're not careful. Most of the folks I know up there are too poor to be fat, but Memphis' sons are strong and healthy and its daughters are voluptuous and beautiful.

BEWARE BEER DRINKERS: There was once a famous and brilliant astronomer named Tycho Braghe. He lived long ago in Italk or Denmark, I think. Despite his wealth of empirical knowledge and astronomical know-how, he must've lacked in common sense. Or he just got too drunk. For one evening he drank too much at a party and presumably got stuck in too long a bathroom line. His life was cut short that evening, as he died of an exploded bladder. The moral: Drink responsibly and always join the potty queue about ten minutes before you have to go.
