  • The Missing Mural

    With the unveiling of the Kesey mural in downtown Springfield, THE KESEY FAMILY has entered the ART WORLD, and thus are subject to GREAT SCUTINITY. You can say, Ken Kesey does not have the homefield advantage, anymore, because he is dead, and no member of his family is a citizen of Springfield. I am a citizen…

  • A Bookcase, Pennent, and Trophy

    There are reasons why many people want to see Ken Kesey’s mural in downtown Springfield, work. I will post on the Mayor’s speech later on. What had to be sought was permission to render this mural on a building owned by the Oddfellows. They were mentioned in what can be described as a political speech.…

  • Tale of Two Murals

    There once were two Kesey Murals in Springfield. My friend Nancy described the first one and got one of names of the artists, right, so I was able to restore the lost description of the mural that was painted on the outside wall of the The Creamery that Chuck told me the town leaders hated.…

  • The Odd Literary Grail of The Fishing Fellowship

    What is so odd about the Odd Fellows? Back in January I posted this prophetic post. ‘The Literary Bohemian Crusade With Grail’. The Literary Bohemian Crusade With Grail When I read Kesey’s mural was going to appear on the Odd Fellows building, I knew several portals were opening. This morning, Zane Kesey posted pics of his…

  • Destroying Republican Party

    For fifteen years this blog has been saying the Republican Party is being destroyed. Did I use Augury to deduce this? Am I insane? No! I just stuck my neck out and said this was coming. Forty-Eighter Socialists Found Republican Party The showdown between Trump and Uncle Samaclaus has arrived. In theory I have way more…

  • Jesus-Balaam Augur and Magi

    There has to be a good reason why the Zoroastrian Magi followed a star to Bethlehem. The truth is the shepherds of the Medes came here every year to sell and trade livestock, and wool. But, this year was a Jubilee Year, and as kinsman redeemer, certain foreigners were allowed to pay the debts of…

  • California Dreamers

Before radio and television Americans read magazines to get their feel for the land. Folks back East wanted to go West…

  • Amazing Tent Revival

    Originally posted on Rosamond Press: I told Belle Burch I wanted to give her something, show her something while down on one knee. I thought she would be thrilled when I unrolled the Master Plan, but, she was utterly cold, totally disinterested, or, so she led me to believe. “Look Belle, there is Joaquin Miller,…

  • Return to the Dunes and Moy Mell

    Originally posted on Rosamond Press: When I talked to Carol Williams we spoke between the lines, being, law firms have no spiritual base, and will bleach out all the spirituality they find in Creative People they handle so they can get down to what really matters to them – THE MONEY! I am more than…

  • The Voice of the Mountain

    Originally posted on Rosamond Press: This morning I went in search of Roy Reuben Rosamond’s story about Calvin and Nell that takes place in Montana. I am blown away. “The sun climbed toward the zenith, up over the colossal Beartooth Mountain!” It is high noon in Bozeman. Andre Artaud and Vincent Van Gough have gotten…
