Ovation TV's American Revolutionaries
Ovation TV has been a lovely escape these last few days. Presently Ovation is airing the American Revolutionaries series through July 31. Documentaries and movies profile an assortment
of the best figures in architecture, film, design, music, and art. This evening I am indulging in I.M. Pei and Frank Lloyd Wright. The movies and documentaries are very well done, informational and inspirational.
Last night it was Basquiat, a film about Jean Michel Basquiat with an incredible all star cast (See David Bowie as Andy Warhol...Excellent!) Some of the other artists profiled are Warhol, Rothko, Nat King Cole, The last 48 hours of
Kurt Cobain, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Martha Graham, Robert Rauschenberg, Orson Wells, Sylvia Plath, Marlon Brando, James Dean, How to Draw a Bunny and so much more.
I hope you might get the chance to catch a few of these programs. In addition to excellence in television viewing, the Ovation website also allows community viewers to submit their own artwork. Seriously, check out Ovation TV... you will not be disappointed.

Kurt Cobain switched identities to Rivers Cuomo and there
was a fake suicide for him. So the premis of the following post is wrong; still, it provides some useful evidence and connections
on the whole CIA media-arts cell network in which Cobain/Cuomo is embedded:

During the High Times article El Duce claimed that in the last days of December 1993, Courtney Love pulled up outside The Rock Shop, a Hollywood record shop, at 1644 Wilcox Ave, Hollywood, and spoke to him. The conversation went:
C Love: "El, I need a favour of you. My old man's been a real not a very nice person lately, I need you to blow his f**king head off."
El Duce: "Are you serious"?
C Love: "Yeah, I'll give you $50,000 to blow his f**king head off."
El Duce: "I'm serious if you are".
CLove: "Where can I reach you"?
El Duce: "You can reach me here".
They then went into the store and he handed her a business card. The manager of the shop, Karush Sepedjian remembers the visit. He said: "El was kicking it out on the bench in front of the store and she came up. I overheard her saying, "Can you handle doing this? Can you get this done? What do you want for it"? They were talking about knocking off Kurt Cobain. Then El brought her inside and said to me quietly, "She offered me $50,000".
Love then took a business card and left. Sepedjian then went on to say that in March 1994 Love contacted the shop asking for El Duce, who at the time was on tour. Courtney was screaming: "That son of a pregnant dog, we made an agreement. What am I going to do"? Sepedjian replied: "I don't know, I've got a business to run. Goodbye."
Broomfield: "So you er, did some deal with Courtney right?"
El Duce: "Yes. I just didn't think she was serious."
El Duce: (laughing.) "Make it look like a suicide."
Broomfield: "Well, yeah, but if you just blew his brains out like you said, it wouldn't look like a suicide, it would look like you blew his brains out."
El Duce: "Right, but er, I told Allen, I mean er, my friend who aah, I'll let the FBI catch him, but er, laughs, that's just the way it's done. End of Story ."
Quote:
About a week after El Duce's interview with Broomfield, on April 19, 1997 El Duce was killed by a train in Riverside, L.A. The events surrounding his death are murky.
Wallace and Halperin report that at 5pm Duce arrived at his house with a man he said he had just met. After a while they left the house to go to the liquor store saying that they would be back shortly. They never returned. At 9pm Duce was hit by a train and died instantly. There were no witnesses. Police were unable to locate the man seen with Duce that afternoon.
Music journalist and friend of Duce, Al Bowman said: "There is something very, very strange about his death. Anybody who knew El knew that you could make friends with him by offering to buy him a drink. He had a problem with alcohol." When asked if he thought El Duce was suicidal he replied: “No way. He was all exited about his upcoming tour. He was in good spirits. He didn't kill himself. I'm convinced this has something to do with Kurt Cobain."

Death
According to the book Who Killed Kurt Cobain? by Max Wallace and Ian Halperin, El Duce showed up at his friend Drew Gallagher's home on April 17, 1997, asking where he could go to get a fake driver's license. Hoke was incredibly paranoid and nervous at this time. When Gallagher asked what he meant, Hoke responded, "People get buried in cornfields, people get lost in swamps", meaning he was in fear for his life. The author claims that Hoke secretly informed Gallagher of who he was told had "killed Kurt Cobain".

Allen Ginsberg died April 5th, 1997, two weeks before El Duce
Quote:
[Sgt. Pepper cover face] William Burroughs with Allen Ginsberg
Association with NAMBLA
Ginsberg also spoke out in defense of the freedom of expression of NAMBLA.[17]. Ginsberg stated "I joined NAMBLA in defense of free speech..." In "Thoughts on NAMBLA", published in Deliberate Prose, Ginsberg elaborated on these thoughts, stating "NAMBLA's a forum for reform of those laws on youthful sexuality which members deem oppressive, (it is) a discussion society not a sex club." Ginsberg expressed the opinion that the appreciation of youthful bodies and "the human form divine" has been a common theme throughout the history of culture, "from Rome's Vatican, to Florence's Uffizi galleries, to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art", and that laws regarding the issue needed to be more openly discussed. When his point about free speech had been made, Ginsberg quit the organization.
William Burroughs was dead four months later

El Duce with his band 'The Mentors'
El Duce album: Slave to thy Master
Quote:
The Mentors is a rape rock band, who formed in 1976 in Seattle, then moved to Los Angeles in 1979. They billed themselves as the inventors of Rape Rock: early 1970s style heavy metal with extremely sexist lyrics. They had a very small, but dedicated cult following in Seattle, playing gigs at Seattle's first punk venues, The Bird, The Funhole and at area biker bars.[citation needed] They performed a live act in Los Angeles in the 1980s, but the alcoholism and death of singer/drummer Eldon Hoke, better known as El Duce, caused them to slow down in the 1990s. On April 19, 1997, El Duce was hit by a train and was instantly killed.
Quote:
The Mentors were known outside of West Coast heavy metal and underground rock circles chiefly for their lyrics being cited by Tipper Gore during the Parents Music Resource Center hearings in Congress, and then being used by Frank Zappa on his album "Frank Zappa Meets the Mothers of Prevention".
