Apparently this stuff really drives the ladies wild:

Unique among all the essences ever devised by man or created by nature, STASH emanates from a plant long recognized for its aphrodisiac qualities. Its romantic bouquet imparts an aura of closeness only dreamed of between man and woman.

Make every moment count. Enjoy the mystery and enchantment captured in the romantic bouquet of STASH… the secret one. A great gift idea for him that will turn you both on!

Did Johnny Carson know what he was getting into when his producers asked Jim Henson to perform without Muppets on his show in February 1974?

By the time of the clip below, Henson and his Muppets Inc. crew were five years into what was becoming a hugely successful partnership with the Children’s Television Workshop on the show that would raise Generation X, Sesame Street.

What better time to do something like, say, adapt electronic music pioneer Raymond Scott’s highly trippy piece, “The Organized Mind” as a short live multimedia stage performance? (By the way, the film playing in the background is apparently Henson’s film adaptation of the same piece of music.)

Dangerous Minds pal, Chris Campion, author of the scathing Police biography,Walking on the Moon: The Untold Story of the Police and the Rise of New Wave Rock sent me this hilarious item about Sting today:

A Russian communist organization urged on Tuesday the arrest of British singer Sting over his “public promotion of drugs.”

Sting, 58, played St. Petersburg on September 13 and is due to perform in Moscow on Wednesday.

“In April 2010, Mister Sting publically called for “the worldwide legalization of marijuana,” the Communists of Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, a separate organization from the much larger Communist Party, said in a statement.

“Not only communists, but everyone in favor of a healthy way of life, the strengthening of our nation’s culture and tradition must understand that such a figure , however talented screaming teens may consider him, can not appear on stage in the Russian Federation,” the group said.

It also claimed the failure of the police to detain Sting as a “leading” proponent of drug use in St. Petersburg was an example of “double standards, negligence and rotten liberalism.”

The statement went on to call for the dismissal of St. Petersburg’s cultural authorities, and accused them of “pushing our children toward the hell of degeneration,” by allowing Sting to perform.

Sting has yet to comment.

“Search For Love” sung by Dimitri Tambossis in a scene from the Greek film I Theia Mou I Hipissa (My Hippie Aunt), 1970. This looks like a production number from Hair if Bob Fosse had choreographed it instead of Twyla Tharp.

Dimitri Tambossis went on to front Aphrodite’s Child with keyboard player Vangelis.

There’s a short but fascinating piece on Dimitri at Julian Cope’s Head Heritage website.

 
Oh, the horror!
