  • 1933:  Willie Nelson is born




Quote:

Willie Hugh Nelson (/wɪli nɛlsən/; born April 29, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

Activism

Nelson is a co-chair of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) advisory board.  He has worked with NORML for years, fighting for marijuana legalization. In 2005 Nelson and his family hosted the first annual "Willie Nelson & NORML Benefit Golf Tournament", leading to a cover appearance and inside interview in the January 2008 issue of High Times magazine.  After his arrest for possession of marijuana in 2010, Nelson created the TeaPot party under the motto "Tax it, regulate it and legalize it!".

Nelson supported Dennis Kucinich's campaign in the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries. He raised money, appeared at events, and composed the song "Whatever Happened to Peace on Earth?", criticizing the war in Iraq.  He recorded a radio advertisement asking for support to put musician/author Kinky Friedman on the ballot as an independent candidate for the 2006 Texas gubernatorial election.  Friedman promised Nelson a job in Austin as the head of a new Texas Energy Commission due to his support of bio-fuels.  In January 2008, Nelson filed a suit against the Texas Democratic Party, alleging that the party violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution by refusing to allow co-plaintiff Kucinich to appear on the primary ballot because he had scratched out part of the loyalty oath on his application.

In 2004, he and his wife Annie became partners with Bob and Kelly King in the building of two Pacific Bio-diesel plants, one in Salem, Oregon, and the other at Carl's Corner, Texas (the Texas plant was founded by Carl Cornelius, a longtime Nelson friend and the namesake for Carl's Corner).  In 2005, Nelson and several other business partners formed Willie Nelson Biodiesel ("Bio-Willie"), a company that is marketing bio-diesel bio-fuel to truck stops. The fuel is made from vegetable oil (mainly soybean oil), and can be burned without modification in diesel engines.

A supporter of the LGBT movement, Nelson published in 2006 through iTunes a version of Ned Sublette's "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other", that met instant success.  During an interview with Texas Monthly in 2013, regarding the Defense of Marriage Act and Same-sex marriage in the United States, Nelson responded to a comparison the interviewer did with the Civil Rights Movement, stating: "We'll look back and say it was crazy that we ever even argued about this". He presented also two logos with the pink equal sign, symbol of the LBGT movement. The first one, featured the sign represented with two long braids; while the second one, featured the sign represented with two marijuana cigarettes. The use of the logos became viral instantly in social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

Legacy

In 2010, Austin, Texas renamed Second Street to Willie Nelson Boulevard. The city also unveiled a life-size statue to honor him, placed at the entrance of Austin City Limits' new studio.  The non-profit organization Capital Area Statues commissioned sculptor Clete Shields to execute the project.  The statue was unveiled on April 20, 2012.  The date selected by the city of Austin unintentionally coincided with the number 4/20, associated with cannabis culture. In spite of the coincidence and Nelson's advocacy for the legalization of marijuana, the ceremony was scheduled also for 4:20 pm. During the ceremony, Nelson performed the song "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die".

  • 2004:  Allen Cohen dies




Quote:

Allen Cohen (1940–2004) was an American poet. Born in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York, he attended Brooklyn College and then moved to San Francisco in 1963. There, he founded and edited the San Francisco Oracle underground newspaper, which was published from 1966 to 1968. Cohen died of liver cancer and hepatitis C in 2004.

About Allen Cohen—by Ann Cohen

Allen Cohen was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940. His contributions to this world are immense.

Allen moved to San Francisco in search of the remnants of the Beat Generation. He first lived in North Beach and then moved to the Haight Ashbury, at the time a working class neighborhood in the west side of San Francisco. Soon, the Haight Ashbury became a flourishing bohemia and Allen was one of the key personalities.

Allen Cohen had a dream that there was a newspaper being read all over the world with rainbows. Pursuing his commitment to spread poetic messages of love and hope among all mankind, the small-stature poet founded and edited the famed San Francisco Oracle, the Haight-Ashbury’s counterculture newspaper that was one of the major vehicles in forming the 60’s through out the world.

The San Francisco Oracle was the leading voice in the nationwide underground press movement. Allen also helped originate the community rituals of the Love Pageant Rally and then the Human Be-In, 1968. Allen and his friends started a commune in Northern California to explore a non-material self-sustaining and creative community. Out of necessity, he became a mid-husband and in 1970 wrote and published Childbirth is Ecstasy, the first book on natural child birth in a community environment (with photographs by Steven Walzer). He returned to San Francisco in 1975.

Allen Cohen is an important poet. He had a love for humanity and was fully committed to promoting peace throughout the world. His words and actions radiate with messages that transcend the ages, remaining as truthful to one generation as the next. He published 3 books of poetry, Childbirth Is Ecstasy, Reagan Poems and The Book Of Hats. He performed his poetry at music concerts, colleges, museums and coffeehouses. In 1991 Allen worked with Regent Press in Oakland, Ca, to publish a commemorative Facsimile Edition of the complete San Francisco Oracle in order to preserve it for posterity. Allen presented his multi-image slide show The Rise and Fall of the Haight-Ashbury in the 60’s in theaters and universities world wide. In 1995 he authored a CD ROM, The Haight Ashbury in the 60’s with the Grateful Dead.

The last four years before Allen’s death he worked on a political book that took a shot at reconstructing American politics. In 2001 Allen consulted with the San Diego Museum of Art on High Societies and sixties rock poster show, and produce a symposium on the Sixties for the show. In 2001 he edited Peace News, an emergency newspaper exploring alternatives to war. In 2002 he edited (with Clive Matson) An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind: Poets on 9/11 which won the 2003 PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Award for outstanding writing.

After Allen’s death his wife Ann Cohen with friends published Like a Radiant White Dove. Allen Cohen passed away in his Walnut Creek home with his family by his side April 29 2004. This world was a much better place with Allen being part of our world community.

Dying in a hospital is the last thing I'd want, such a terrible way to go. I want to die at home, surrounded by my family, not in a white room with medical equipement and beeping sounds all around me.

RIP :heart:

I really don't know where he died.  That picture was taken the year before he died.  I hope he died with family and friends as you said.

Dear Kratom,

I've been numb for so long that I forgot how to feel
So I don't care if it will break my heart,
Just fuck me till I disappear

I believe he is also referred to as "Snoop Lion" now, since he travelled to Jamaica. He's a bona fide Rastafarian.
