How the Hippies Still Own Music World 2015: Hippie-Music Vs. Hip-Hop Has President Obama Weighing-in Quoting Jerry Garcia

on the biggest weekend celebration of every year, seeing the sea of good spirit at Solider Field with the Chicago skyline sparkling in full on dusk of July and hearing how cosmically poignant "the core four" Grateful Dead were in welcoming Trey Anastasio who was comfortable in conversing in his own phrasing yet w/ a ying-&-yang natural flow channeling Jerry Garcia gave me chills... Moreover, the young vibrant smoking hot women the camera kept finding never seemed to stop dancing & smiling proving the Grateful Dead are still efficient in turning people on & influencing others in 2015 = and the brand is strong & the product sounds better & as fresh as any hip-hop or rap out today.

the difference in quality product value of music between a band like the Grateful Dead and that of a Kanye West is that in Pythagorean fashion the Grateful Dead play as one organism creating a pattern of notes and chords that elevates, elates & enlightens levels of self awareness & cosmic consciousness with an intent & method meant to heal the soul like medicine is applied to the body whereas the impetousness of machoism is the fabric & foundation of Kanye Wests music celebrating death, violence & dominance over other "lesser" people & peers with a banging thud, thud, thud … thud, thud thud … thud, thud, thud … the bass is always low end bottom feeder brand flashing a gangster ghetto pride that you may not make it out alive unlike the African, South American & Middle Eastern rhythmic drumming of professorial like roles of the dual drummers of the Grateful Dead.

Bobby & Phil seem to be enjoying being able to deliver these "aces back to back" …

Fare Thee Well Opens Final Run in Style http://www.jambands.com/news/2015/07/04/fare-thee-well-opens-final-run-in-style/


The mood was rowdy and energetic but peaceful and relatively calm as the masses rushed in to both celebrate one more time and bid farewell. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/grateful-dead/6620064/fare-thee-well-chicago-night-one-review



What's the Legacy of the Grateful Dead ???

What billboard topping Hip Hop artist could sell out 2 Santa Clara Levi's stadium shows one week and then 3 Chi Soldier stadium shows with each show being different + global movie theater screenings + pay per view + youtube + MLB + Sirius ???

July 2015 _ new poem 2015

everybody looks forward to July and before we know it it flies by in a blur with lightening bugs in mason jars, fenced in yards, 16 year olds learning to park cars & American flags, fireworks & my birthday cake or mixed berry pie (heavy on the blackberries please, for me). It's only among the wet trees, earth & moss covered rocks deep inside a forest or French & Indian War era city situated as a true frontier land gateway of the west sometimes best seen for what it is when you keep getting welcomed by strangers with Angel arms and eyes alike to the nights walking, sitting, drinking under those big California stars July seems like a dream to me but I guess that's what a good birthday month is for with an omnipresent script full of spirit animals & guides looking after you for unpredictable protection and success as if in a one & only dream written at Noon June 28, 2015 by John Alan Conte Jr.

Whispering Angel _ new poem 2015 _ dedicated to Taylor Swift

                                                  sunset gate chateau marmont: john alan conte jr.
new poem in June 2015 = "Whispering Angel" dedicated to for current book working on
                                                                   

Painted pictures always go
With a beam of sunlight & a rose
morning's covered in summer gray
Are you gonna stay another day

If you leave don't forget your strings
Some times it's easy to leave things
Bleeding fingers press on the board
Not a fret without blood but now free

It's all right when you're lonely & bored
As long as your mind's not at all like
An unkept attic w/fire hazards stored
Don't need to burn down to build up

We got this song some say luck
We like to sing it if you pay a buck
Maybe it's luck but we don't give a
Song away from the Whispering Angel unless we want it to sing

Making Serendipity Happen in Hollywood: how to get what you need true story

True Story:
Books can help provide keys to unlock doors of infinite & sometimes serendipitous possibilities.
Jim Sheridan the famous director of Hollywood blockbusters such as In The Name of the Father and The Boxer commented on the hard-covered book I was reading poised poolside in West Hollywood, California at Hollywood's industry hot-spot Chateau Marmont. Interestingly enough that provided me with the opportunity to place Jim Sheridan, his wife & daughter on the guest list of Pittsburgh's own Rusted Root on summer tour with a show at House of Blues Sunset Strip the next night. Turns out as happenstance would have it Bill Siddons who managed The Doors was managing Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root's solo career and he was like"how did you get Michael's favorite Hollywood director here tonight?" ...Which started a whole other conversation as the book Jim Sheridan commented on I was reading at Chateau Marmont was The Living Theatre: art, exile & outrage ... Jim Morrison of the Doors was a big fan ...
Hey, and I got this cool poem from this experience for my 2009 e-book The New Everyday Media called "Jim Sheridan Took My Shirt"

"Mario Lemieux is My Best Friend" reality TV pitch

This morning on WDVE Pittsburgh producers were on the air with the everyday morning crew announcing that they are looking for Pittsburgh people who are characters to do the next big thing in reality TV.
They want Pittsburgh people everywhere to pitch them an idea.

So in 5minutes with time to sip my La Prima coffee I wrote this pitch and emailed in it to DVE (although I don't want my own reality tv show nor do I want to be on a reality tv show so this is not written for me):


This character has just enough access to a circle outside the inner circle of Mario Lemieux & family that the viewer does get a good glimpse at Mario & his family

However it's kinda a little mysterious as to why the deal is never really closed whereas Mario or his family's really never direct exclusively is seen interacting with character "Mario's my best friend" ... But the confidence of the character & the authority in which it's filmed within the handlers, hanger-ons, assistants, chefs, drivers, lesser players, country clubs, hockey rings, wine stores, paddle tennis tournaments, etc. the viewer is so enamored with this access they are already hooked on the voyeurism that the credibility of the character doesn't actually get questioned.

Turmoil drama sometimes seems to rock it though every once in a while when the inner circle of Mario & sometimes Mario himself looks out from within like "what the hell are you crazy person & support friends of hers (or I mean his) doing?!" ... And some of the verbals from the Mario camp caught on camera towards character sometimes seems to may even sink in yet the character always finds excuses for herself and lies her way out of it (that they are really just stalking & spying and all sorts of crazy) ... Character is always able to convince herself she's in the inner circle and in return always able to manipulate support characters, Thus, the viewers continue to be manipulated and hang on to too

(Kinda like a Bowfinger starring Eddie Murphy)

What's the fake media story? 1 out of 5 current newsworthy reports posted is a fake! Which one is it? ... #winners #losers #character #newmedia #excercise

What's the fake story?


Many parents have been asking “what to do with the kids now that’s school out that’s productive & fun?” …

Here is an informative and fun exercise that will have your little ones learning about current events and utilizing crucial research skills to fact check a media stories to determine what’s the false report.

What resources will this require? A connected computer device with a search engine to search internet’s new media sources.

One of these five stories is an exaggerated speculation and not verified as a true story. 

Which one is it?

(Losers must refrain from spreading false & exaggerated information about, for example, neighbors and slandering a neighbor’s reputation and character before they desperately try and pass it off as true and pull people into the gossip – Thus learning a great life lesson and gaining self respect and know-how to respect others, for example, neighbors).

                                            

1. Right wing uber conservative Ann Coulter is a Grateful Dead head and says she's been to apprx 67 shows

2. NBA king Lebron James flashed his junk on live TV and it's totally cool and proving once again hippies are a targeted minority group as Jim Morrison of the world famous Doors was busted for allegedly showing his junk in concert in Miami, Fl.

3. MSNBC’s Melissa Harris Perry (#BIGnewEdayMedia list) interviewed a woman MHP is calling "transracial" as she is a white woman who identifies herself as a black woman

4. The US Olympian from the 70's cereal boxes who ended up on the kardashian show was a man who now identifies as a woman named Caitlyn

5. Pop-blues musician John Mayer and the iconic Grateful Dead will be going on tour with John Mayer replacing Jerry Garcia summer/fall 2015

NewPoem Today: "Not Alone for Tomorrow"

Not Alone for Tomorrow

A shoe box filled of photos reminding you-you were never really alone
I won't becoming home again, no more. I know I'm not alone though in a place I got on my own
I heard there's a reunion show
& I'm gonna go - yet not for yesterday but for faith in today, yay!
We can still have a revolution
Yeah, no time to hate until no time to waste waiting for them to legislate,
Ah, we all want a change, to change.
To change the upside down into a tip top shape - like a perfect sphere - even though it could be really queer
It's ok
It's ok
It's ok
Living today for today and tomorrow for tomorrow while remembering yesterday,
It's ok
It's ok
It's ok

"Emergency Buddha" = my new poem for my new "Mentoring #Millennials" e-book of poems currently writing

"Emergency Buddha" = my new poem for my new "Mentoring #Millennials" e-book of poems currently writing



Sun stretches across the sky
as Tibetan Terriers remain as poised as a set of lions
at the sides of a colossal gate of an ancient temple in-tune with more than common
awareness surrounding
while people are doing a daily routine some sit or stand swallowing spoon-fed news over a breakfast Good Morning America's advertisers have paid big money to make certain George helps cover-up the collective pressing agenda of & gleam along with polished white teeth & pricey Georgetown haircut

Meanwhile. spraying off city sidewalks is the most refreshing Manhattan movement
meaningfully replicated elsewhere
Bees buzz - stoned on fresh pollen
Above jets dart transporting organic and in-organic matter world-wide.
most unaware beyond self-importance.

small batch coffee is brewing permeating the alley ways of life with a signature pungency
echoing in the caverns of memories like stale beer striking a stranger in a transient tavern but rather innocently as childhood discovery dunked like bread newly anointed in a cup of Morning-Joe.

Brooms help reinforce garden hoses used on sidewalks of last nite brushing away its dust & dirt

Walking down a certain favorite avenue to stroll down she feels sun-light hitting her face and then it's all happening in quick seconds of time as the sun-light blazes in her eyes and she is fully enjoying the way it is making her feel. ..
invigorating,
stimulating the senses
lubricating her spirit
& illuminating her mind's eye.
she releases when hitting the vortex
Powerful ley-lines at perpetual work

A  giant web connects infinite sources of light within our universe
- (or what we allow ourselves to think we know of it) -
Collectively we beam as one. however a select few are detecting vibrations.
shining brighter,
transmitting clearer tones
On their strand of web they share with like-minded-souls
alerting by calls beyond explained language.
akin to a tribe resilient in the face of heavy obstacles.
 - primitively modern yogi.

Is it your turn to die today?

Invoking his emergency Buddha
he defies their eager mistakes
and he escapes the planned
impending death.
And in the reality of enlightenment
slows it all so he can accomplish good.

Another day to perform our art
- and another anticipated night to pray for it together -
as spiders mechanically chatter inside
a cosmic web of life

The Legacy of the Grateful Dead???

The interviewer asked me, "what is the Grateful Dead's legacy?" And I gave a simple honest answer last April , "it's still being created ... They got so much going on still. Plus people are still interpreting the music and iconic pop worth that has influenced & still influences the fabric of our cultural tapestry." That didn't make it in this clip:

my interview with The Endless Tour Project re: 95 Pittsburgh show at 3 Rivers Stadium one of the shows Pittsburgh's own Rusted Root was opening for The Grateful Dead on that last tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14unOb0kLcc&feature=youtu.be

Headline News: from These Americana Blues in 2005 to TheNewEverydayMedia.com in 2015

at this point in 2005 writing the poems for "These Americana Blues" for MyStrawHat and TheNewEverydayMedia was when I started formulating the BIGnewEverydayMedia concept into real life, real time = this poem "Headline News" http://mystrawhat.com/American/Head.htm gave birth to my next "everyday" ‪#‎everyday‬ projects and then to "new media" ‪#‎newmedia‬ projects and then to "everyday new media" ‪#‎everydaynewmedia‬ (and a decade ago bought the domain name TheNewEveryDayMedia.com to use with mystrawhat.com)

Headline News 
it was the worst flood in the city's history
a devastating act of mother nature
and he couldn't cover it
 
he was stuck.
roads were shut down.
- flashing lights; no answers
 
"keep it moving!"
a block away and on this very day
a cult leader had 22 babies -
he claimed he was about to kill
if he didn't get his way.
the fanatical leader felt he needed to
decree that all cell phones be smashed
- as they were jamming his transmission -
he couldn't reach the mother ship and
holding the babies for captive was 
all he could - all he could to focus
 
the 33 year old newscaster sniffed it out
as he was a block or two away 
and was on the scene in no time
- there to capture this live.
 
and it was the flood of biblical proportions
and one of the fanatical spaceship cults
which occupied my headline news
- live from today - these americana blues

my credentials as a serious poet = (& my Dad's everyday account executive) #LifeStyleDirections

"you have the ability to fire-off history like Walt Whitman; the sexual imagery of Henry Miller; and the navigational skills of Jim Morrison." - is what literary giant, beloved professor & expert psychoanalyst, Wallace Fowlie, stated after I read him some of my selected poems in his home in Chapel Hill, NC.
I phoned him later and asked him to put his reaction to my private reading in writing and this is what I received via the U.S. Mail. It sounds more scholarly & academic and more of what my father, Attny John Conte, would approve in regards to his poet / account executive son.

All in Your Head (1st poem of 2015)

All in your head (1st poem of 2015)

johnconte photo taken on a blue sky Sunday at Cocoa Beach, Florida Nov2014 #selfie

Life feels so alive in the days and hours before you're dead

By trance or meditate but do discover it's all in your head

It will be too late if you wait too long so ring in the moment with a song 

Slow things down not by chance yet in a trance with a song to fix what's wrong

Big wave riders see real light in musicians who are mediums for a crowd

subjects of poets on primal paths along with salesmen, outlaws + preachers traveling in the dark

It will be too late if you wait too long so ring in the moment with a song 

Slow things down not by chance yet in a trance with a song to fix what's wrong

Sitting around the camp fire to cook, for warmth & protection along the long paths

What is that we types that travel hear like song? Is it wind or a dire wolf?

Only one's all in your head but both could and may kill you dead; poor fool played his ace too early.

Oh, it's all in your paranoid head; 
And still it's instilled in those who believe in true trance it is all in your head and not living life by chance

Come on, now, let's dance in a new year 
That defeat is all the fear in your head,
Have a drink on me and watch it disappear 

Oh, it's all in your head
(Alive and then dead)

The Right Voodoo Dreams Come Through & Come True ...

Thank you to those true spirits who walked here before me Your footprints are ancient dust petals blowing in the wind Recognized in an akin tune. - (me Nov 21 4:40 a.m. Fla) -

In Richmond, Virginia stimulated by dreams the hot wet sheets were abstractions from the swirling colors secreted in sweat oozing from his body. Blonde on Blonde American now she was standing naked baring all in brilliant exposure. He admired her. And the darker one also dreamed of showing up with more symbolic dialogue like a film provides for its hungry viewers inquisitive in the mind for true freedom(s) provided by its medium unlocking doors of social consciousness from touching & planting seeds in the subconscious penetrating though the eyes as if a snake crawling through the empty caverns of a skull where eye sockets once existed with covered flesh of a humanoid ... instinctively knowing the drums, fire, dance, chants, song(s) & ritual(s). He dreamt of her in her home. With her cat. With her children. A quick succession of years. A non linear glimpse of the darker tops of her feet in contrast to the lighter pinkish white bottoms were he rubbed through callouses and excess skin of healthily healing blisters from being barefoot all the time in the southern terrain. 

In a white robe and slippers provided by the spa he was escorted into the common waiting area where both men & women sat together in luxuriant leather Manhattan style chairs. He had water from the pitcher containing a little sweet fruit to cool and cleanse his system. He was really enjoying going down deeper into the south recalling his childhood comfort there and spiritual awakening(s) always welcomed. The Belmond at Charleston Place was bright with activity of a Saturday night affluent in weekend visitors and pleasant bustle of a grand hotel of a major port city. His massage therapist opened the door and smiled. "John?" ... she looked like one the twitter followers his @NewEdayMedia would have encountered on #BlackGirlNerds. Yet her accent was thick and from a lot further south than Charleston or Key West for that matter. As he lie on the table, nude and warm he wonder if he should just tell her he had dreamt of someone who looked just like her when he was in Richmond at the Jefferson Hotel the night before however thought that might be too abrupt and slightly creepy. So he thought he'd ask if she had a cat. "Strike that!" He decided. She may have had a cat but no longer has the animal. She reentered the room after the customary knocking. Conversation was happening naturally so organically was his thoughts and formulating of words like roots of brushy fruit bushes and flowering tree branches it came out perfect. "So do you like animals?" That was something that would allow him to have the best chance to find out if she had a cat or not in her lifetime but also allow him to drill down to determine if it was when she also had young children in her home coexisting like in his dream. "Yes!" He thought when he had found out she did in fact have a kitten she took in from a friend's litter. And yet he was even somewhat startled at all this when he recalled the exact feelings he had by the persistence of this cat wanting to play and literally in his dream dangling from his hand and his fingers with her little sharp teeth and claws. It was annoying to him in the dreamm, with the woman & young children. And although he was a staunch animal rights lover he could not find fault with her when she said that was a main factor in why she had to give up the kitten and remove it from her home with the young children. But yet she said she's now considering a little non shedding hypoallergenic dog....

"Gruber-ing" the American People (not just on ACA)

This a.m. MSNBC was discussing Gruber and how POTUS, Pelosi & Axelrod have handled it - MSNBC panel admitting "not good at all" ... However it's disturbing how MSNBC discussion brushed this picture as this lying to the American people to pass laws, bills, policy is done all of the time! Pulling the wool over the American people because the American people are stupid enough to be tricked at the polls is in fact a necessity of elected law makers according to Morning Joe panel! Yes the American public is too stupid to now what's good for it and so it needs "Guber-ed" for its own good & protection! This is just how it's done!

So if we were "Guber-ed" by Obama Admin on ACA what else have elected law makers been "Guber-ing" us on to protect us from our own stupidity?!
Maybe arresting citizens and taking away all rights & freedoms throwing us in prison where we are raped & beaten & dehumanized for smoking marihuana / weed / pot?! ... even though the far American public now believes marihuana / weed / pot should not be illegal but legal or at least decriminalized?! ... and even after scientific evidence now proves there is indeed medical merit in the properties of marihuana / weed / pot?!

(By the way this is not anti government rhetoric or extremist rhetoric but rather intellectual conversation and debate we should be free to express even though it may challenge the authority that would rather have us stupid Americans sit down & shut up or be arrested or even shot & killed while unarmed)

Dear Roger Ailes: Viewer Analysis (mass media notes)


Dear Mr. Ailes,

Whether or not I agree with your politics or views please allow me to congratulate you on an oustanding period in not only FNC history however in mass media history and in these #newmedia times.

I can recall the first time I tuned into FNC and it was during a John Kerry presidential campaign and I was looking for different opinions and Juliet Huddy was on Fox & Friends squirting a bottle of Heinz ketchup in the camera lens. Mike Jerrick and Julian. 

What you've created from there is amazing to me and that's with reluctantly not even knowing much beyond that from a viewing perspective.

OutNumbered is a nice new edition, The Five ... and Red Eye is still cutting edge (watch that and your eyes will bleed it's so cutting edge still) and fresh ... last night Greg Gutfeld (genius and in my opinion a saving grace for FNC and the Republican party marketing 101 camp) had former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino hosting the show while Greg was a guest = genius. 

It's evident a big portion of the media has a bias for nothing other than Democratic party ideoology and is intolerant of any other view, debate and argument which is a shame and quite lame in the spirit of an intelligent conversation(s) that this country and ladies & gentlemen around the world have enjoyed for centuries (in most open and free countries).

Although FNC has bordered on creating nausea with its love affair with President Reagan and the Bush's (especially when GW was in the house, FNC gloated a little too much which is why it may take a lot of criticism still to this day from Dems "no WMD's"), Megyn Kelly standing up to Dick Cheney a few months ago was the pinacle of "fair and balanced"    ...

At any rate, I am seeking your counsel on a matter here as I have tremendous respect for you and your ground breaking refreshing accomplishments whether or not I agree with your politics or views.    

Given that you are mystrawhat.com promoting the 14th e-book of poems by a serious poet which also happens to be the 1st book this author wrote that opened a lot of doors published in 1992 "In This Place: a book of the nineties" --- for promotion "Game of Roses (delivery)" should it be Anna Kooiman or Kimberly Guilfoyle ???

 


using new ways (or old ways for me now) for social media promotions ... new media has percolated a fresh batch of new everyday media marketing ideas & methods as oft discussed by David Meerman Scott ... as a way to help promote my e-books of poetry on mystrawhat.com (13 or 14 of them) i've attempted to engage people in traditional and nontraditional ‪#‎newmedia‬ ways = such as Game of Roses (delivery): Anna Kooiman Vs. Kimberly Guilfoyle which is an attempt to promote my new old book of poems from 1992 "In This Place: a book of the nineties" being launched on mystrawhat.com ... here's the blog post about it
