The roots of coincidence and conspiracy in American politics, crime, and culture are investigated in this examination of the connections between religion, political conspiracy, and occultism. Readers are presented with detailed insight into how Charlie Manson became a national bogeyman as well as startling connections between Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli, Carl Jung, and synchronicity; serial killers, multiple personality disorder, and demonic possession; and magic, surrealism, and mind control. Not a work of speculative history, this third volume of a three-part set is founded on primary source material and historical documents. Fascinating secrets are divulged involving Hollywood icons such as Marilyn Monroe, David Lynch, and Jane Fonda as well as links between the Cotton Club murders, the Bluegrass conspiracy, and the Son of Sam cult.
The pieces in Pot Stories for the Soul are funny, whimsical,
bizarre, poignant, informational, shocking, and, yeah, soulful.
They are about love, hate, escape, reality, the paranormal, Allen
Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, Michelle Phillips, Hunter Thompson, Abbie
Hoffman, Wavy Gravy and peanut butter. Ultimately, these stories
reveal the wide, weird, and wonderful subculture of stoners, where
the reefers are mad, the joints are fat, and the buzz lasts for
six-and-a-half days.
Counterculture legend Paul Krassner gazes on the fires of pop
culture, politics and celebrity and returns unscathed to help us
make sense of our senseless world, with an introduction by Lewis
Black (The Daily Show) and a foreword by Harry Shearer (The
Simpsons, Le Show).
"Patty Hearst & The Twinkie Murders" is darkly satiric take on two of the most famous cases of our era: the kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst and the shocking assassination of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and gay leader Harvey Milk. As a reporter for the "Berkeley Barb," Paul Krassner was ringside at the spectacular California trials, and his hilarious deadpan style captures the nightmare reality behind the absurdities of the courtroom circus. Using his infamous satiric pen and investigative chops, Krassner gets to the truth behind the events: the role of the police and FBI, the real deal with Patty and the SLA, and what really happened in Patty's infamous closet. Also included is a merciless expose of the "Taliban" wing of the Gay Movement and their scandalous attacks on alt-rock star Michelle Shocked. The Outspoken Interview features an irreverent and fascinating romp through the secret history of America's radical underground--names will be named.
Uncensored, uncontained, and thoroughly demented, the memoirs of
Paul Krassner are back in an updated and expanded edition. Paul
Krassner, father of the underground press (People magazine),
founder of the Realist, political radical, Yippie, and
award-winning stand-up satirist, shares his stark raving adventures
with the likes of Lenny Bruce, Abbie Hoffman, Norman Mailer, Ken
Kesey, Groucho Marx, and Squeaky Fromme, revealing the patriarch of
counterculture's ultimate, intimate, uproarious life on the fringes
of society.
"Krassner is absolutely compelling. He has lived on the edge so long he gets his mail delivered there."--"San Francisco Chronicle" In this collection of irreverent and satirical essays, counterculture icon Paul Krassner explores the moral obscenity of contemporary politics and culture--from censorship of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed to lessons learned from his mentor, Lenny Bruce. Paul Krassner is the founding editor of "The Realist." He currently writes for "High Times," "Adult Video News," The Huffington Post, and CounterPunch.
Part fictional narrative, part send-up of the New Age movement, and part comedic triumph, "Tales of Tongue Fu" splits the reader's sides with hilarious misadventures and wicked social commentary. The book's hero, Tongue Fu, evolves from the humble son of a radioactive mother and a kamikaze pilot father to a guru -- with an incredibly long tongue, which he uses for both romance and martial arts. Tongue Fu meets a cadre of riotous characters along his way, from Baba Blabla, who has been silent for 30 years, to Rosebud Zwaliyeh, an activist who joins a cult. At every turn, comedy legend Krassner skewers phony spiritualism with his formidable wit, and endlessly entertains with his razor-sharp satire and notorious sense of humor, as Trina Robbins delights with her singular artistic vision.
