Another Offensive Attempt At Teaching the Civil War

Another day. Another teacher fired for attempting to teach the Civil War by bringing both an American and Confederate Flag to class.

This time in California. Most public school text books have pictures of both flags displayed and it's time that these be removed as well. Here is the solution. Reprint the pictures of Confederate flags with an image of Texas-native Willie Nelson on them. This will be so much less offensive and might even create a momentary interest in country music.

BIG CHICAGO SNOW -- January 26, 1967

On January 24, 1967, the weirdest thing happened in Chicago. The temperature which was 10 or below in the previous days, suddenly went up to 65 degrees. I remember running outside like it was summer--something that just doesn't happen in Chicago in January. The 25th it returned to its normal cold. On the 26th of January, we woke up to what would become over the next 24 hours--23 inches of snow--the biggest snowfall in the history of Chicago! It was a child's dream come true! No school! It shut down the city and there was more snow to play in than was imaginable. With snow drifts from the wind reaching 6 ft. in the streets, each neighbor had to dig out a small path to the street allowing for a fantasy tunnel to walk to the store. What are your memories of this extraordinary winter wonderland?

WHY I CANNOT STAND THIS MAN

MORE THAN ANYTHING--THIS IS WHY I CANNOT STAND THIS MAN. WHEN HARD WORKING AMERICANS PROVIDE LABOR FOR YOU--YOU PAY THEM. PERIOD. TRUMP HAS A NEW LAWSUIT FROM A GROUP OF ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS WHO WERE NOT PAID FOR EXTENSIVE WORK ON A NEW HOTEL. THEY EVEN WORKED EXTREME OVERTIME TO MEET HIS DEMANDED OPENING SCHEDULE. HE IS NOW OFFERING THEM 1/3 OF WHAT THEY ARE OWED. THIS IS A PATTERN HE HAS USED DOZENS OF TIMES. THIS CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED AND IS INEXCUSABLE.

Mary Tyler Moore

Mary Tyler Moore--Her importance in two TV roles. As Laura Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" in the early 1960's--she had a streak of independence that had not been seen before in a married TV woman. In the early 1970's series, on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," she changed all the rules on TV as an independent single career woman. Both these shows changed attitudes toward women in America.

WHEN I'M 64

ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO...IT WAS A SONG THAT SEEMED SO FUNNY BECAUSE IT SIMPLY WOULD NEVER HAPPEN...AGE 64 SEEMED LIKE A HUNDRED YEARS AWAY! WELL...HERE IT IS TODAY ON THE 21ST. HOW MANY OF YOU RECOGNIZE ANYBODY AT NEIL AND MY 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY ON ASHLAND AVE. IN 1ST GRADE 1960? DEMETRA WAS THERE.

"PRESIDENT OF THE U.S." IS NOT A GAME SHOW

STILL SHAKING MY HEAD.

Still shaking my head. There are a number of live streaming worldwide video sites where you can stop by and say hi to people from all over the world. Some are in shared rooms and some are in individual rooms. Every once in a while, I stop by and talk for a few minutes to somebody from another country and get to share info. about culture, politics, travel, food, etc. The other day I ran into a girl from the UK. About 13--of course the first thing I asked her was if she listens to the Beatles. "They're all dead. Aren't they?," she responded. I informed her that there were two still with us. I then asked if she had a favorite Beatles song. "I think I heard one song by them once...but I don't know the name of it" she said. "Ohhhhkay" I puzzingly stated. Hearing a definite non-London accent, I said, "I want to guess where you are from." She smiled and agreed. "Southhampton?" "NO" "Birmingham?" "NO" "Manchester?" "NO" "Liverpool?" "YES." She was thrilled that I guessed it. I was stunned. "Wait a minute. You're from Liverpool and you've never heard the Beatles? Aren't there statues of them all over the city?" "Yeah...I think I saw one once." She knew who Justin Bieber was and everything about him and his music. Had this been the only time, I would not be alarmed. But a girl from London told me that the only time she heard a Beatles song was when her teacher made everybody listen to one. Well, maybe Justin will someday be in a music history book next to Mozart and John and Paul might get a sidebar mention.

Trump And His Double Standard

Donald Trump spent years leading a campaign to prove that Obama was not born in the U.S. And apparently his sources were impeccable. And now that allegations about him are being made even at the highest levels of government including the FBI and CIA--it is all "fake news," a convenient way of ending any accusation.

THE 3 THINGS I DO WHEN I WAKE UP EVERY DAY

THE 3 THINGS I DO WHEN I WAKE UP EVERY DAY:
1. I CHECK THE OBITUARIES AND MAKE SURE I'M NOT IN THERE.
2. I THANK 400,000 AMERICAN VETERANS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR 2 SO MY GENERATION WAS ABLE TO GROW UP IN "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER" AMERICA AND EAT POPSICLES AND CANDY, READ SUPERMAN COMICS, WATCH GREAT 60's SITCOMS AND MOVIES, READ MAD MAGAZINE, WAIT FOR THE GOOD HUMOR MAN, RIDE MY SCHWINN BIKE AND LISTEN TO THE BEATLES.
3. I GO LISTEN TO THE BEATLES.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"SUMMER OF '42"

"SUMMER of '42" It was a very popular movie in America released in the early 1970's. The 1971 film is a "coming of age" story set on Nantucket Island. At the time, it felt uncomfortably erotic. I was 18 when I first saw it. I ran into a streaming version online and decided to re-watch it. Because there is such great background information about any movie online, I decided to read about it first before watching it. What I discovered changed the way I saw it this 2nd time around and will forever make me look at it differently. Hollywood has used novels as the source of films for decades. When originally watching the film, based on a book by Herman Raucher, it was clear that this was another novel-turned-movie from Hollywood. At least that's what I've thought for 45 years--and what you've thought as well. It's not. "Summer of '42" is a detailed word-for-word retelling of what happened to Herman Raucher when he was 15 in the summer of 1942. Characters all have the same names. The dialogue and scenes are exact re-enactments. The author has since stated that after the movie came out in 1971--he received a letter from "Dorothy" that had no return address, phone number or way of contacting her. Her letter contained details that only they would know. It was postmarked Canton, Ohio. She said that she had re-married and was now a grandmother. She was very concerned that she may have "traumatized" him with what had happened that night 30 years earlier. He never heard from her again after that communication. In 1971, Herman, who is now almost 89, was about 45. Dorothy, who he never asked her age, was as young as 20 in 1942, and in 1971 anywhere from 50-55. She would be in her 90's now if still alive. Go back and watch the movie now knowing that it is a 100% true story down to every word said. It makes it as penetrating as "The Notebook."

RESIDENT RUMP

I GET TO FINALLY TELL MY ZSA ZSA STORY.

I GET TO FINALLY TELL MY ZSA ZSA STORY. IN THE 90'S, I CREATED THE FIRST EVER LIVE ONLINE CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS WHERE AVERAGE PEOPLE COULD PARTICIPATE AS PART OF THE EVENT. THIS WAS FOR COMPUSERVE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO BRING ZSA ZSA GABOR ON AS A GUEST. AFTER ALL--SHE'S ALWAYS SO MUCH FUN. I CALLED A CONTACT OF MINE AND ASKED IF HE HAD THE PHONE NUMBER FOR ZSA ZSA'S PUBLICIST. HE SAID HE DID AND GAVE IT TO ME. I CALLED THE NUMBER AND WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HEARD A FAMILIAR VOICE ANSWER "HELLO?" AND LET'S FACE IT--HER VOICE IS DISTINCTIVE. HALTINGLY, I SAID, "ZSA ZSA--THIS IS ELIOT WITH COMPUSERVE. YOU KNOW THIS NEW ONLINE COMPUTER THING? I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN HAVING YOU ON AS MY GUEST!" AN IRATE ZSA ZSA (WHICH YOU'VE ALL HEARD BEFORE) STARTED YELLING--"WHERE DID YOU GET MY HOME NUMBER FROM?" I RESPONDED "I..I..I THOUGHT I WAS CALLING YOUR PUBLICIST"...IN ZSA ZSA STYLE SHE INTERRUPTED--"YOU CALL MY MANAGER FOR THAT." I WISHED HER WELL AND SAT THERE LAUGHING AT WHAT JUST TRANSPIRED. IT WAS LIKE TALKING TO A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER.

"MY FAVORITE THINGS" DAY.

"MY FAVORITE THINGS" DAY. I have 5 Favorite things. 1. The Beatles--especially the album "Rubber Soul." 2. Charlie Chaplin. 3. Troll Dolls. 4. Pinball Machines 5. Edward Hopper paintings.

It's getting a bit cold in Burbank. I got out my "Beatles Jacket" which I made. Ringo the dog and I went to Atomic Records. Other than Amoeba, this is the most popular record store in Los Angeles. They have every style of music going back to the 1920's. They always play a random LP selected from thousands. When we walked in, they were playing "Rubber Soul," my favorite Beatles album. Ringo started to bark. The owner asked why he was barking. I said he was saying, "You play this at home all the time!" Ringo and I then went to Brand Park, this beautiful elaborate park in nearby Glendale. We saw a group of students filming in a corner with modern sophisticated equipment. They were from USC. To my stunned surprise, they were filming a Charlie Chaplin short. Complete with detailed dressed performers, a crew of 15, they were intricately making a retro silent film which I could see being processed on their attached monitor. I had to get a picture with Charlie. I told them that I used to teach about Chaplin in my Media & Society film school class--and would show them scenes from "Modern Times" and "City Lights," because other than knowing the famous "Little Tramp" caricature, students had never seen the films. What a wonderful "MY FAVORITE THINGS" DAY IT WAS.

This is Charlotte. She was having 300 seizures a week.

This is Charlotte. She was having 300 seizures a week. She flatlined and almost died many times. The medications she was taking did nothing to help her. Her parents moved to Colorado. It was only there they could get a substance called CBD that suddenly decreased her seizures to a few a week. There are two main substances in marijuana. One is THC--that creates the "high." The other is CBD--a God given natural element which is stopping or curing--not covering up-- hundreds of ailments including cancer cell growth (National Institute of Health), epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, glaucoma, HIV, chronic pain, Alzheimers, nausea, ADD/ADHD, depression, wasting, PTSD and others. The pharmaceutical industry doesn't like CBD. Anybody can grow marijuana and therefore, it competes against their high priced poisons which kill tens of thousands of Americans every year. This week, the DEA added CBD to Schedule 1--therefore claiming it is addictive and has no medical value--on the same level as heroin. The pharmaceutical industry has been protected by the government for decades--after all, who do you think makes the greatest contributions to politicians so they can start running for re-election the minute they get in office?

Eliot Stars in The Metamorposis

The MetamorphosisWhen I was a professor at the Los Angeles film school, one of my most brilliant students, Eric Aaron Lizer, asked me to star in a short film. Here it is for all of you to see. The Metamorphosis.

Just Saying Hello!

It was bedtime. The only thing on my bed was a pillow and a blanket--that had clearly taken the form of something hiding under it. In cute talk I said, "Somebody's hiding under my blanket. Who can be under there?" All of a sudden, either a hand or foot just popped up in a crevice-fold area of the blanket and remained there in that position for 30 minutes. It was so funny when it happened.

PLEASE LEARN THIS WORD: ZEITGEIST.

PLEASE LEARN THIS WORD: ZEITGEIST.

IT MEANS "THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES." IT REFERS TO THE THINKING AND FEELINGS THAT EXISTED AT A PARTICULAR PERIOD OF TIME. TODAY, ON THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR, IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TEACH U.S. HISTORY. TRYING TO CONVEY THE ZEITGEIST THAT EXISTED IN AMERICA ON DEC. 7, 1941, IS OFTEN DISMISSED BY YOUNGER AUDIENCES THAT FEEL THE BEHAVIOR OF AMERICANS WAS SO RACIST AND NO EXPLANATION WILL SUFFICE. A CARTOON THAT HAS BEEN BANNED SINCE BEING SHOWN IN THEATERS TO WW2 AUDIENCES IS CALLED "BUGS BUNNY NIPS THE NIPS." ANYTIME IT GOES UP ON YOUTUBE, WARNER BROS. HAS IT REMOVED. WARNER BROS. HAD RECENTLY CONSIDERED FINALLY RELEASING IT WITH AN ATTACHED HISTORICAL EXPLANATION, BUT DECIDED NOT TO. BY TODAY'S STANDARDS IT IS SHOCKING. HEARING BUGS BUNNY CALL HIS JAPANESE NEMESIS BY EXTREMELY DEROGATORY TERMS AND WATCHING HIM BLOW UP JAPANESE PEOPLE IS HORRIFIC. TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE THINKING THAT EXISTED AT THE TIME HAS BECOME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THERE IS ONE COMPLETE VERSION OF THE CARTOON HIDDEN ON THE INTERNET. WHAT DO YOU THINK--BEFORE THEY REMOVE IT?

When George W. Bush became President...

When George W. Bush became President, it took me about 4 months before I really got tired of him and couldn't stand seeing him, listening to him or even seeing a picture of him. In an amazing new record, Donald Trump has accomplished the same effect for me--2 months even before he becomes President.

MEASURING INTEREST IN MUSIC TO COLLEGE AGE STUDENTS

IN RECENT YEARS, BEFORE MY COLLEGE "MEDIA & SOCIETY" CLASS WOULD BEGIN, AND JUST AFTER A BREAK AND BEFORE CLASS STARTED AGAIN--I WOULD PLAY MUSIC VIDEOS ON A LARGE SCREEN WITH A PRIMO SOUND SYSTEM. THE AVERAGE AGES WERE 18-24. I WOULD NOTE THE INTEREST LEVEL REACTION TO VARIOUS PERFORMERS ON A SCALE OF 1-10. (10 THE HIGHEST. 1 THE LOWEST)
THESE RESULTS WERE CONSISTENT OVER A FEW YEARS:

10- MICHAEL JACKSON. (THEY WOULD STOP TALKING TO NEIGHBORS, GET OFF PHONES, DROP WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING AND JUST BECOME MESMERIZED AND FIXATED TO THE SCREEN. IT WAS A BIT SCARY.)
9- JIMI HENDRIX
8- THE DOORS
7- ROLLING STONES; TEMPTATIONS; FOUR TOPS
6- ROY ORBISON; THE ZOMBIES; WOODSTOCK VARIOUS
5- THE BEATLES; RICK NELSON; MAMAS AND PAPAS
4- THE BEACH BOYS; BOB DYLAN
3- THE MONKEES
2- ELVIS
1- SIMON AND GARFUNKEL (THAT SURPRISED ME. THEY JUST DIDN'T GET IT)
0- ABBA. (ZERO INTEREST.)

A QUICK LESSON ON WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNDERMINED BERNIE SANDERS

A QUICK LESSON ON WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNDERMINED BERNIE SANDERS AND WOULD NOT RUN HIM AS THEIR CANDIDATE. IN AMERICA, YOU MUST RUN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES THAT ARE AT LEAST JUST A BIT RIGHT OF CENTER. BERNIE SANDERS WAS LEFT OF LEFT OF LEFT. IN 1972, THE DEMOCRATS THOUGHT THEY COULD WIN AGAINST REPUBLICAN RICHARD NIXON WITH A CANDIDATE THAT WAS LEFT OF LEFT OF LEFT. HIS NAME WAS SENATOR GEORGE McGOVERN. TAKE A LOOK AT THE ELECTORAL VOTE FOR 1972. GEORGE DID NOT EVEN WIN THE STATE IN WHICH HE WAS THE SENATOR. BERNIE SAYS THAT HE MIGHT RUN AGAIN IN 2020. THIS WOULD NOT BE A SMART IDEA.

NOW THAT ALL THE RESULTS ARE IN

NOW THAT ALL THE RESULTS ARE IN--ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU HOW 2 STATES WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE ELECTION RESULTS. MAP #1 SHOWS YOU THE FINAL ELECTORAL PICTURE WITH A DONALD TRUMP WIN. MAP #2 SHOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD FLORIDA AND OHIO GONE BLUE--A HILLARY WIN. THOSE STATES HAVE BEEN BLUE FOR THE LAST TWO PREZ ELECTIONS. ASK THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHY WITH THE MILLIONS THEY PAY STRATEGISTS, ANALYSTS, CONSULTANTS AND ADVISERS--THEY DID NOT FOCUS ON FLORIDA AND OHIO.

DEAR YOUNG FOLKS, LET THIS ALL BE A LESSON FOR YOU.

DEAR YOUNG FOLKS,

LET THIS ALL BE A LESSON FOR YOU.

YOU WILL BE DENIED A JOB IN AMERICA BECAUSE:

THE EMPLOYER FOUND A PICTURE OF YOU PARTYING;

YOU GOT IN TROUBLE FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA;

YOU HAD A LOW GPA;

YOU OWE MONEY ON STUDENT LOANS;

YOU HAVE A LOW CREDIT SCORE;

YOU HAD DRIVING TICKETS;

YOU HAD SOME KIND OF LEGAL SYSTEM INFRACTION;

YOU NEVER HAD A JOB BEFORE;

YOU WERE AT A JOB FOR TOO SHORT OF TIME;

YOUR DEGREE ISN'T FROM AN IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY

HOWEVER--YOU COULD HAVE:

COMMITTED ADULTERY A NUMBER OF TIMES;

ASSAULTED A NUMBER OF WOMEN;

SAID DOCUMENTED SEXIST THINGS ABOUT WOMEN;

SAID DOCUMENTED RACIST THINGS;

SAID DOCUMENTED BIGOTED THINGS;

SAID DOCUMENTED INSULTS ABOUT PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS;

CHEAT PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY FOR WORK THEY DID FOR YOU;

INSULT VETERAN'S PARENTS;

INSULT PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS;

INSULT HEROIC VETERANS;

INSULT DOZENS OF OTHERS;

DECLARED BANKRUPTCY NUMEROUS TIMES;

CREATED A PHONY SCHOOL THAT TOOK PEOPLE'S CASH;

CURRENTLY HAVE 75 LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST YOU;

BRAG HOW YOU FOUND LOOPHOLES NOT TO PAY TAXES;

HAVE MILLIONS IN UNPAID LOANS;

AND YOU CAN BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

45 years of progress has just been turned back.

In 1972, San Diego State University offered a "Women's Rights History" class. I was the only male in the entire school that signed up for the class. Outside of school, when I made statements in public such as "Women should have the right to hold any job that a man has," I had men look at me like I had just committed some kind of unspeakable violation--and even women were shocked by the boldness of such declarations. Over the last year, almost 45 years later, I saw for the first time, a heightened awareness finally permeate our society's thinking regarding the equal treatment of women. Last night America voted for a man who was a serial adulterer and lived the "Playboy" lifestyle--refusing to ever acknowledge any of this. 45 years of progress has just been turned back.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE ANALYSIS 1 WEEK BEFORE ELECTION

ELECTORAL COLLEGE ANALYSIS 1 WEEK BEFORE ELECTION. The events of the last few days have tightened the race considerably. And this is the best analogy. Hillary is the CLEVELAND INDIANS who need only one game to win the series. Donald is the CHICAGO CUBS who need to win one game to even up the series and another one to win the series. Do not pay attention to national polls at this time. It basically is coming down to one state--FLORIDA. With its 29 Electoral College votes--if it turns BLUE--Hillary automatically wins. If it turns RED--Donald still needs more states to turn red to stay in

NIXON

ABC News had this picture on the front page today. And I jumped out of my seat. Its got to be 8 years since I've seen a picture of this guy featured prominently anywhere (since the movie Frost/Nixon). And you know what--I HATE THIS CROOK AS MUCH TODAY AS I DID IN 1969-1974. His Vietnam policies which took and destroyed the lives of Americans and others by the millions. His abuse of power against anybody who disagreed with him. His hatred of young people. His obstruction of justice. His constant lying to the American public. Where was John Hinckley when he was really needed? ROAST IN PEACE you SOB.

TOM HAYDEN

Tom Hayden, one of the most effective young Anti-Vietnam War protesters has died. Of course, in the new "wave your flag without questioning America," you are supposed to be "I'm glad that damn hippie is dead." Because of Tom Hayden's efforts, 61% of the American public eventually demanded that the idiot policy makers in Washington D.C., who always made sure that their own children got deferments, put an end to America's quagmire in Vietnam. Have you looked at which country is making most of your clothing these days? Vietnam. 60,000 Americans died for your cheap Walmart shirts. And your refusal to hold LBJ and Nixon responsible for the deaths and destruction of millions.
