When Perry Farrell hopped a Greyhound from Miami to
Los Angeles, he didn’t take much with him, just some
art supplies, a bag of weed and a surfboard. As he bounced from
apartment to apartment, that same surfboard was the one thing that
always went with him, but he eventually stopped using it. When
he got into music, he stopped surfi ng and sometimes didn’t see the
outdoors for days at a time.
“I was a bit of a Howard Hughes. I was the guy who hadn’t cut his
fi ngernails and was losing his mind in quiet and solitude,” Farrell tells
me. Farrell spent the better part of the 1980s and early 1990s in a
haze of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, but even in his darkest days, Farrell
was productive. As the leader of the band Jane’s Addiction, he made
his mark as one of the most infl uential rock musicians of all time.
He’s been called a visionary and an icon and he earned the nickname
“Th e Godfather” for his contributions to alternative rock. His other
groups, Porno for Pyros and Satellite Party have also received high
critical acclaim.
Farrell is also the founder of Lollapalooza, one of the leading music
festivals in the world.
Lollapalooza began in 1991, in part as a farewell tour for Jane’s
Addiction. One thing that sets the festival apart from others is
its eclectic mix of alternative rock, hip-hop, industrial, metal and
nonmusical performers. Th e lineups over the years are a who’s-who
– Metallica, Beastie Boys, Lupe Fiasco, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Pearl Jam and the Pixies. Some of the big names scheduled for 2008
are Radiohead and Rage Against the Machine. Farrell, who’s always
been known as a fl amboyant performer, is looking forward to
performances by Nine Inch Nails and Chicago’s own Kanye
West, who he’s heard….

This week the FTC, Federal Trade Commission the Big Brother Watching US group, made one person shut down his site because he included information on used of herbs. Now he is sueing them for denying his first amendment freddom of speech. (Bravo!)
As a writer, I believe that we need to make a stand for free speech. Please read on….

29 Healing Herbs: Some of my favorites.
This could be illegal….watch out!!!
Before I write about 29 of my favorite HEALING herbs, if you are someone who know about the FTC case against the Internet Marketer,see if his lawyer would like others to join the case to make a class action suit.
I googled healing herbs and came up with 827,000 listings. So then I googled healing herbs us sites and got about 425,000 for us sites.
The guy who got hit was actually referring to US Federal Publications, available to anyone about HEALIBG HERBS. So I ask you, why does the US government want to prevent Americans from learning about docuements that they have previously approved for publication about health and Herbs?
I won’t go into that discussion now. A couple of thousand years ago, a knowledgeable Jewish man proclaimed, “Heal Yourself!” His name was Jesus and it might be curious to see how often he told us to do that. Check the Bible.
Although he was referring to the power of the holy spirit or God to heal us, if you also check the Bible, you could probably find many references to herbs that were used for healing. Your government, if you are a US citizen, doesn’t want you to print or publish this information.
Seems like censorship to me.
So here is your list of my favorite 29 healing herbs.
Yes they are all healing herbs. Yes it would be best to consult herbalists, naturpathic doctors, some of the 425,000 websites, and books to learn more about these fairly common herbs. Most of these may be found in your backyard, or kitchen cupboard. All but a few can be found and are commonly grown in North America.
I am using this as an example. If I were to make claims about their use, suggest what they could do, or apparently publish a reference sheet from where I got this information the FTC could make a lot of threats to me, possibly levy fines, and in some states in the USA lock me up (in prison).
Please share this information, and I think if all internet marketers rallied to support freedom of speech or the guy who got shut down, we could have a real good case.
When we don’t make a stand, it’s just that much easier for us to lose what we think is ours.
29: Yep they can all be used for healing many discomforts. Add your thoughts please.

Read on… So fly into town, look at some of your options and plant to play, dance, and walk under the stars…there’s something going on at Old Town almost every night including good food. There are several concerts under the stars or at the Biopark weekly. Check out the clubs and smaller venues too. Just relax and aprty and tell your friends!
NOt here yet? Why are you waiting??? However if you are closer to:
Blogsville: about-chicagoil.com
This was perfect timing! I just came in from a long planting session. After two friends took me to lunch, and then I did an errand for me and a friend at Natutral Grocers, I went plant shopping. Home Depot had some flowers on sale. Hence I expanded my purchase 4 fold but only spent twice as much. As I had lost several plants these last few weeks wind and heat may have been the culprit, though I am not sure, I sought out some replacements and some new varieties. Home depot had some of each, and a better selection than recent visits.
I got done planting about 10:10 PM. The wind managed to blow away two sets of rain clouds this evening. I had hoped that these new plants would get their beloved ioned rainfall. So When the stars replaced the clouds, I took my trusty hose and watered away.
Chuck Bartok may not be growing tomatoes in NM, but he has a long history of growing tomatoes. His video is fun and has many parts. It is really worth watching, and tell your friends. I have four tomatoe plants. Two are tall organic golden cherry or maybe plum tomatoes. One has 2 small oval shaped fruits. The other two smaller plant are some variety of red tomato. Maybe a big boy. My production hasn’t ever come near to Chuck’s production.
Check out the video. Your plants will thank you. He has lots of good tips.
OK, If you go back a few blogs, you can read all about tonights concert. Been working in the yard a lot and so this is primarily a reminder. Also there is a great resource section at the end of this blog.

Videos from You Tube selected by me. Dream to be now…great words from Blue Rodeo. Can’t remember seeing too many rodeo signs in my many trips to Canada, but they were long ago. Alternate Country sounds like rock to me. Great for a crossover audience.
Whereas the Drerailers probably are those who like old style, the music lovers of old timey (any age) and the oldsters longing for those southern and western traditions.
No telling how Phil Brown will fit in, locals musicians may be abundant, younger folks who want to pick up some riffs, and those who want to float to the electric poetry for a few hours.

Listen to the drummers: they’re all good and carry the bands a long ways.Sometimes a bit overlooked…these guys are good.
Early evening, sun still high,
porch hammock wraps my body and I
watch a patch of NM sky.
clouds slowly gather
with no promise of rain
a gentle breeze cools the air
cottonwood glorious big yellow green leaves dance
and sparkle.
children’s voices echo down the street.
swaying with an inner rhythm
i start counting birds.
two large ravens dart across the sky
to a hidden nest or in search for better food?
a robins’ chirp and song hidden in some
far off tree,
sparrows and other small birds
darting east as if riding on invisble
waves.
None stop in the yard,
other’s songs continue
i return to childhood
where flying friends were abundant
hundreds and thousands
scouring the skies
sun memories are long past
as well as the gathering of massve flocks.
Will the robins visit the yard again soon?
while birds sing
i am grateful for early evening night sky.

If you are in Santa Fe and want a bite to eat, you might enjoy Blue Corn Cafe. I enjoy the one downtown more because afer you have your fill, a strool around the plaza will burn some calories. However, the southern location includes easy parking and is very close to 2 movie locations, both with multiple theatres. The food is medium price and great. Red or Green tonight? Margarita or their own home brew? Dessert will put you over the top, so make sure to leave room. Locals enjoy the cafe/bar section a lot. Great place for gossip and may be….
Springtime in Albuquerque Nm is wonderful. There’s lot of blooming gardens, the temps can go as hi as mid 70’s. Hope and high energy are abundant. People are out in the parks playing, college students fall in love at special cafes, and kids play baseball and socceer. Spring winds can do two things: clog the air with dust and blasts, and clear the air of smog.
Check the events out and hopefully the weather won’t deter your fun. For more ideas, check www.abqarts.org

I guess you can see that there is plenty to do in ALbuquerque NM this weekend! WOWO.
Ah spring with more snow! I started to go to place A) ended up creating a new squidoo page:
Sorry I extremely offended an author with a great resource page that I wanted to share. This becomes a public apology to the author whom I can’t mention. So if you want news about great resources for farmer’s markets. Guess you will have to google. I love proting other people with great ideas, and I always document my sources, but this time I really goofed. SOrry.
I also was excited by seeing CELL FOOD by lumina on my google ads on my squidoo page. I love Cell Food.
Santa Fe,the city different has one of the most gorgeous farmer markets which in a year or two will have a beautiful building. It also is an expensive market, however go often and buy something, even if you spend $5.00 or less, because the food is great. The farmers need your support. If we can’t grow food where we live, we ultimately are at the hands of the rest of the world. Frankly, getting beans from China scares me. I could go on and on. However since childhood, I loved fresh veggies. My Mom and Dad had 2 large gardens. I guess it is my genes. My yard is not the best for gardening, nor do I have a lot of spare time. I depend on the fine organic foods plentiful here (from all over the world). So read more.
The Eat local food is a big topic nowadays. In Santa Fe and ALbuquerque many restaurants are specializing in buying local in as many places as possible. I loved it when one little pizza place: PIZZA ETC. use fresh grown veggies from his garden for salads, topping. etc. He also happened to be an award winning gourmet chef! Perfecto.
Lunchtime gotta go. Seriously I am hungry. Sorry I can’t send you to the great article that I had used with links to the author. Google to find great ideas about eating locally. I meant no offense to the author. Sincerely, Mary MacIntyre
Perhaps this video will expand upon my original thinking.
This is not my video. You have all you need here to go to youtube.com and find the artist under local foods. Thanks for understanding. Mary
Wander around the rows of plants, watch the fish in the pond, enjoy the beautiful scenery, bring a picnic lunch at eat at a table in the woods, sit on the hummingbird porch and count the hummingbirds, listen to the fountain, smell the roses,
and visit our gallery.
It is Mother’s Day weekend and, true to form, the Iris are blooming at the Hondo Iris Farm. An annual visit to the farm, which boasts of hundreds of prize winning bearded Iris, has become a ritual for hundreds of Southern New Mexico residents. Children young and old bring their mothers for what is now called an “Iris Extravaganza.”
During May, the Iris are the main event. The owner and resident gardener, Alice Seely, has assembled an impressive collection of “bearded Iris”, noteworthy because of their long flowing beards, and fantastic variations in color. One section of the farm contains prize winning varieties, hybridized since 1990; another section is filled with “antique irises” planted at the turn of the century in the Hondo Valley. Alice, a native Santa Fean who moved to Hondo 10 years ago, also brought with her a number of the “Old Santa Fe Irises” that have grown along the Northern New Mexico “acequias” for centuries.
At the Iris farm you can wander through the rows of exotic Iris plants, sit on a bench in a small wooded area, cross a bridge over a 150 year old irrigation ditch, walk up a landscaped birm, and enter a gallery filled with paintings, sculpture, jewelry and artisans handiwork from places as remote as Bulgaria, Africa, Russia, and Kashmere. In the process you can sip a soft drink, and visit with the Alice and “pick her brain” about the many plants in the garden.. During your visit, your only task is to enjoy yourself and experience the beauty of the Hondo Valley.
If you wish to bring your lunch, you can sit at one of the picnic tables located throughout the garden or sit on the “hummingbird” porch and observe the fascinating dance of hummingbirds as they approach their feeders.
There is no admission charge and no obligation to purchase anything.
The Iris Farm sells its Iris in two ways. They can be ordered in advance for delivery in July and August, or there are potted Iris available for the taking immediately.
The Gallery, a recent 1100 square foot addition to a revitalized100 year old Adobe building, is divided into two sections.
The entrance section is filled with pewter jewelry designed by Alice, and fabricated in her “factory” down the road, where she works with 7 employees, filling orders for over 500 museum gift shops, galleries, and national parks around the country: including the Smithsonian, the Grand Canyon National Parks, the Denver Art Museum, The Detroit Art Museum, The Museum of New Mexico, and the Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque.
The hallmarks of her “Urban Fetishes” pewter jewelry line are her pins, packaged in matchbooks, with writing on the back of the packaging. Customers purchase these pins both for their original designs and because they find Alice’s writing, interesting and inspirational Alice also fabricates bracelets, fancy earrings and necklaces, all of which retail for less than $75.00. In addition, Seely has supplemented her jewelry line with a set of historic New Mexico retablos inspired by art from New Mexico churches and homes. (Her “Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe” easel was recently listed as a best seller in the Marshall Field’s catalog.)
Alice has deliberately kept her jewelry off the market in Southern New Mexico, with an eye to starting her own store where she could sell to locals at discount prices, without fear of unfairly competing with other stores in the area.
Prior to starting her jewelry business, Alice made her living as a painter and clay sculpture artist and showed her work in a number of galleries in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Michigan, New York, and Florida. The main section of the gallery is now furnished with her paintings and sculpture, along with the work of other “selected” artisans from around the world. (Alice finds these artists at the many trade shows she travels to in marketing her jewelry. Many of whom are now her friends.)
Her international crafts include a line of contemporary bowls, vases, and cups made in a Bulgarian village; museum quality baskets and Kuba cloth made in Africa, wall hangings and pillow coverings, hand embroidered in Kashmere, some with traditional Navajo weaving designs, others with the designs of modern artists such as Klimpt, Miro, and Kandinsky. Alice recently began showing a line of reasonably priced, beaded burnt velvet jackets that are “so stunning she has a hard time keeping them in stock.” Indeed, the gallery has become as much a place for women to shop for interesting and exotic clothing as it is a place to meander and admire colorful folk art objects from around the world.
Rounding out the international collection, is a large selection of finely woven baskets from Pakistan and China.
If you are in the area, please come visit. Hint, the garden is most beautiful in the morning and late afternoon (past three).
The Hondo Iris Farm, open from 10-5 Tuesday through Sunday, and other times by appointment, is located on Highway 70, at mile marker 284, marked by a blue sign alongside the highway. The phone number is 505.653.4062. Alice’s website is www.aliceseely.com.There’s the websites words, or some of them. However, the photos make clicking and visiting a must.
On the way down you might plan to stayover in Ruidoso. Of course you could plan a whole vacation there too! Spend at least a day at the gardens in Hondo, and if time drive down to Roswell, NM. A few years back, Roswell was very affordable and fun. Time has passed now and????
It’s the time of year to get outta town, and find places to stretch your mind and legs. Ahh— irises.

Old Town hosts Artscrawl Good Friday evening
The Hanging Tree Gallery will be showing two rare Romero de Romero paintings. When Esquipula Romero de Romero died in 1975, he was remembered for contributions to Albuquerque as a builder, gallery owner and artist. Born in Cabezon, NM in 1889, by the 1930s he had a reputation for landscapes, portraits and depictions of the Penitentes. He operated an art gallery at 1731 Central NW (now Manzano Day School), a building he designed and constructed. Like hundreds of artists, Romero worked under the WPA during the Great Depression. Hispanic artists of that era were often slighted and most were not even documented by the WPA. His work is now in demand and when you see it, you will understand why. To read more about New Mexico’s WPA artists go to wpasinnombre.o rg . Also featured will be works by contemporary artists Hector Morales and Anne Sandry. For information on all the galleries participating in the Artscrawl go to the Artscrawl website.

It won’t take you very long to read this issue, so for the whole story go to www.readfive.com The real reason I say this is there are 2 (not mine) fantastic photos (full page) in this issue that will make your day brighter.
Of course there are stories as well. I was hoping for, as one longs for spring, that there would be news of great music and entertainment events for Taos or area as well. NADA. However,
A follow around: from the above mentioned web page:
There is something different about making music in New Mexico — its endless vistas and open landscapes infuse creativity with a sense of spaciousness and possibility. For the past fourteen years the Taos Chamber Music Group has tapped into the Land of Enchantment by presenting the imaginative and inspirational performances for which it has become known. TCMG has historically sought out programming and partnerships that go beyond the classical music concert formula to redefine and enhance the very concept of chamber music.
In its fifteenth anniversary season, TCMG will offer a wide variety of programs that reflect the unique cultural diversity of its home in Taos as well as a deep connection with the land that surrounds us. Highlights include the return of the stellar American String Quartet, bringing classical music’s finest to Taos. A piece commissioned for TCMG’s anniversary by critically acclaimed composer Paul Fowler and a collaboration with Native American musician Robert Mirabal will combine improvised and composed music. Visual art will have a place in two programs, one in conjunction with an award winning film about listening to music, and another with music and photography inspired by nature.
Whether performing at the Taos Community Auditorium or the Harwood Museum, recreating the Baroque or reinventing the Contemporary, in large ensemble or solo, TCMG is dedicated to sharing with audiences a musical experience that is both intimate and powerful. As always, classical masterpieces will be combined with new and lesser known works performed by some of New Mexico’s finest musicians. And TCMG’s commitment to music education will continue to bring programs to hundreds of Taos County school children. This landmark season has something for everyone from the best in classical to outside−the−box collaborations. We invite you to be part of the magic of live chamber music!
Sincerely,
Nancy Laupheimer
Director, TCMG
