aRt BaRks Celebration and Contest
Pfenix Quinn
Last month, this journal provided dating cards for the hotties and sharp-shooters of the SFP RC. This month, celebrating the first time that Conrad Flashback1 has taken the Chair of the RC, and in the spirit of innovation and fun that characterizes this band of lunatics, err, I mean social-revolutionaries, I thought I'd try something a little different by way of reinvigorating the SFP "Art Barks" Trend.
As is well known by revolutionaries and fellow travelers throughout the e-provinces, previous Chair-Rock-Scholar Shiloh13 achieved great distinction by bringing the pounding left-wing heavy-metal sound of Rammstein to the attention of the proletarian masses and their allies. This lifted their spirits to the skies. We are still cleaning up from the amazing raves held on Bear Mountain after the concerts and still trying to figure out how we all learned to speak German.
Anyway.
Over the (many) years since Commander Ramon first pointed towards the entrance to the Shining Portal of Socialist Freedom, and from time to time since then, mostly when fresh batches - I think you know what I mean - had landed in town in the backpacks of the arriving college students, the assorted anarcho-commies and fellow
Today, celebrating the Oct-Nov RC, the Big Red-and-Black Buffet expands once more!
Being only a humble background-scene-painter in the obscure art-mines of a remote and mostly-misty region of Filosofika, and having devoted my e-self largely to wandering aimlessly through the mountains, chattering with the occasional sentient chipmunk while searching for the elusive Ostrich of Understanding, my undertaking today is, granted, considerably more mundane than Shiloh13's.
Still. Hopefully it will bring a small spark of joy and perhaps even increase, in some tiny way, another accretion of r-r-r-r-r-revolutionary class consciousness amongst the dear readers, all in service, of course, to the great and noble quest that is the e-Global Anarcho-Syndicalist Movement (the eGASM), of which the SFP is the dynamic turbo-charger.
YES, IT's ONE OF THOSE FREE GIVE-AWAY SORT OF DOO-DAD THINGS! WOOT!
Here's how it works.
The first person to identify -- WITHOUT GOOGLING -- what artist is being echoed in the following story will receive ONE SHINY GOLD PIECE!
AND the first person to identify -- WITHOUT GOOGLING -- exactly what WORK by that artist is being reproduced as if it were my own story will receive the official title, bestowed by the Free University of Phoenix Quinn (which is the SFP's School of Higher Understanding), Bearer of Revolutionary Optimism (that is to say, they will be honored with a B.R.O.)!
AND, BEST OF ALL, those who make guesses that are wrong but hilarious (as judged by yours truly), will receive Other Amazing Rewards and Honors!!
THANKS FOR PLAYING!! Here's the story.... put on your THINKING CAP!
UP THERE
My friend told me they explored the men's room 'cause they don't give a shit. The ladies'd lost electricity. They took vows inside of it.
Ha! I had a desire to dance with them but was too startled to try. And when they wrapped their legs around me, I, I, I started to fly.
"Let's explore", they said, "Up there, up there, up there! Above the 25th level!"
(And I danced like a madman, shouting at them
🙂
"Circle all around me. Coming in for the kill, kill, kill. Oh kill me baby like a kamikaze heading for a spill."
Oh. But it's all spilt milk to me.
"Let's soar", they said, "Up there, up there, up there!"
We don't eat the flower of creation. We don't eat anything at all. Love is, love was, love is a manifestation and I'm waiting for a contact to call.
Love's war. Love's cruel. Love's pretty. Love's pretty cruel tonight and I'm just waiting here to refuel, love in my heart, the night to exploit. Twenty-five stories over Detroit. And there's more. Up there.
(And then I heard the voice of Civil Anarchy shouting
🙂
I'm stoned in space. Zeus-christ. It's always been rock and so it is so it shall be. Within the context of neo-rock we must open up our eyes and seize and rend the veil of smoke which players call the e-order. Pollution is the result of the inability of man to reform and transform waste. The transformation of waste. The transformation of waste. The transformation of waste is the oldest pre-occupation of man, man being the chosen alloy. He must be reconnective via shit, at all cost.
Inherent within us is the dream of the task of the alchemist to create from the clay of man. And to re-create from excretion of man pure and then soft and then solid gold.
All must not be art.
Some art we must distintegrate.
Positive anarchy must exist.
(Uh-oh... I feel it swirling around me. I feel it feeling no pain. I'm waiting above for you my friend I know I'll see you up there I'm floating in a door backward on boundaries over this e-world I'm waiting above in the e-sky, bears, riding upon a...)
Looking for an alternative? Look towards the SFP!
The Revolution Needs You!!
Hop to it and join up today, comrades!!

Joe Hill, like Harambe, died for our sins. Honor his name! But if you are guessing that the story was from Joan Baez, then that is wrong but definitely pretty hilarious! So you are hereby granted an official Certificate of Revolutionary Art Appreciation Placard (C.R.A.A.P. award) from the Free University of Phoenix Quinn, which you may use in any way you see fit!
Thank you for this great honor.
Helllll yeah

hmm this is a tough one, but for some reason Charles Bukoski keeps popping into my head.
And it's been years since I have read any of his works.
Anyway that's my guess.

Excellent guess! Unfortunately, it is incorrect. Since you made an excellent guess, though, you are hereby awarded with a doctorate from the FUPQ in the study of "Drinks For All My Friends!!" You may now use the honorific "DMF" after you name. Furthermore, Honest Conrads may address you as Herr-Doktor Shiloh13 before telling you what libation to pour for them. Congratulations!
saw paul newman, thought its norm mcdonald
That is a clue!
Conrad Goxi investigated this clue and correctly identified the photo of Paul Newman as being related to the 1956 film "Somebody Up There Loves Me". The themes from that film title are clearly reflected in the story, but still not the correct answer. For extraordinary investigative work, Goxi HN is awarded the honor "Revolutionary Film Critic, Extraordinaire Level". Congrats!

Nope, not double-oh-seven either.
But you are hereby awarded a Socialist Participation Trophy for participating, as you always do, in good spirits!
Rod McKuen? Total WAG..,
LOL! OK, ummm. No. But for that very funny guess you are hereby awarded the honor, "Hero of Socialist Freedom, First Class" as well as Two Red Ribbons, just because.
Speaking of Rod McKuen, though.... here's an oldie, but goodie:

Awesome! Red is my color!
I have no clue, and I am sure it was not me. 😉
Are you sure? 😉
Socialism is a horror.
That is a terrible guess. No prize for you.
I’m gonna guess Ho Chi Minh. The part where he’s talking about excrement is allegory for getting rid of the french, right?
An excellent guess, mon ami, and quite, how do one say?... amusent? Even though it is not correct, you are hereby awarded with a "Legion of Socialist Super-Heros" flight ring!
Poor milk.
Yes, very sad. On the other hand, sometimes spilled milk is just spilt milk. Know what I mean?
It was Patti Smith's "25th Floor":
