Deen Reed - Red Suede Shoes

Dean Reed was the Red Elvis. After good ole' boy rock and roll fell out of fashion in the 60s Reed defected to the Eastern Bloc where he became a massive star in the Soviet Union and in Marxist Latin America.

Reed chose to live and die behind the wall in East Germany, mysteriously committing suicide in a lake near his home in the mid 1980s.

Despite being, in effect, a global phenomenon who sang about struggle and Texas he was never heard of in the West.

It's worth watching this trailer just to see the images at the end of the peoples' cowboy stepping through Lebanese rubble armed only with his six string and an AK47.

He also had a talking horse.

Elvish Smelvish - 30 years since the death of a cultural icon

Thankyou Ma'am.

Dawn's bare necessity

Madame Mao was slightly titillated to see pics of Lucy Davies who plays Dawn in The Office stark naked except for a toy bear in PETA's latest campaign to stop the British Army making ceremonial hats out of bear fur.

With my interest piqued I had a look at some of PETA's other campaigns and found this:




Wear a dog? What is this photo about? Does this guy from ER have his cock in the dog?

Of course Madame Mao wouldn't wear a dog, or a bear, but she might eat one, or cut off its genitals or sell its paws as ashtrays.

You Westerners are crazy.

The thoughts of Chairman Churchill

Back in the 50s Madame Mao was helping the Chairman build Socialism while capitalist running dog Winston Churchill was enjoying his second term as Prime Minister despite encroaching senility and dipsomania.

The Guardian today uncovers secret notes between Churchill and the his cabinet on the thorny issue of race and immigration.

Churchill says "Problems will arise if many coloured people settle here. Are we to saddle ourselves with colour problems in UK? Attracted by Welfare State. Public opinion in UK won't tolerate it once it gets beyond certain limits."

In considering quotas Cabinet Secretary, Sir Norman Brook, says that there is a good case for excluding 'riff-raff'.

Shut your eyes and you can almost hear Patrick Mercer.

Get on one, Comrade

The Sun tells us this morning that Sir Michael Caine is releasing an album of chill out dance music. The kind used by decedant western youth to come down from the effects of ecstacy tablets.

Sir Michael's album will be called Cained.

In China this is taken very seriously. To paraphase Marx - Methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine hydrochloride is the opiate of the masses.

We too have believe getting caned is the solution to the ecstacy problem. However, we use bamboo and dried birch faggots. If it's a party you want - come to the communist party.
