Intro
Here it is, the third issue of "For Crying Out
Loud". Just as a quick intro, I usually put these things out
for two reasons. #1, because I can get this zine out more often
than the much thicker one I do (PTBH!zine - at the same address
$1+2 stamps for most recent copy), and #2 because I can sell it
and make a couple of bucks because I'm usually unemployed and
this crap ends up being my bread and butter. This issue, I've
added a new reason... I was talking to my friend Andra not long
ago when she told me she was writing something that she wouldn't
mind printing. Then she asked if I'd like to print it for her.
Well, I usually don't take submissions from other people, and I
don't know why anyone would want their ideas to mingle with mine
in the same context, but whet the heck, why not?!
So, I made the all-too-familiar trip over to the coffee shop
across the street from my house and dredged up some less than
popular details from my past then typed them onto my ancient
computer trying to include as many interesting details as I could
remember. I'm sure it's gonna end up being another one of those
things where someone will invariably come up to me and complain
about the fact that I wrote an article about myself instead of
about Bouncing Souls or something. Sure, it's just a story from
my life, and we all have stories of our own, but this one is
mine. If you don't want to hear about it, then you're welcome to
close this zine right now and get back to reading that boring
band interview or even worse, you could spend the evening
watching your television set. I'm doing what I can to get by on
my own creativity without selling my values or morals, I
encourage anyone else to do the same.
On that note, if you got this in the mail and you want to send me
a zine, I can't guarantee that I'll review it, or that I'll send
you anything back (unless you say what issues you already have),
but I'll sure do my best.
Reviewers: "For Crying Out Loud" is published almost
monthly and costs $1+a stamp in the USA. It is assembled by Rex
Ray and is usually written completely by him with the exception
of the rare contribution that happens once in a while. The
writing is usually classified as personal and non-fiction.
Disclaimer: any illegal activities mentioned between the front
cover and the back cover of this publication are to be considered
as a total fabrication from the mind of an insane old woman who
lives in the swamps of southern Florida, eats rats, and hangs out
with Paul Rubin. This zine is intended for information purposes
only. It is written as a promotion of good health and happy
living where man and woman can live together with bird and beast
in harmony and peace with a little help from our lord Satan and
the Microsoft Corporation. Either go vegan or keep wiping blood
off your ass. Either grow up, or get real. I prefer the later.
Computers aren't evil, users are. Guns don't kill, it's those
damn bullets that do. America, love it or leave it. Anyone wanna'
buy me a ticket? Coffee-morning, day, and night, it's good-4-U.
Dr. Bronner is dead, but his soap lives on. Information wants to
be free. So does public transportation, education, water, and
photocopies. Together we can make it happen. United we stand,
divided we stand a bit more comfortably. Support your local
scene, a little weeding never hurts. USA, "We kill to prove
that killing is wrong". If you protest, do it wisely. No one
listens to a fanatic with a tie-dyed shirt, mohawk, etc. Two
wheels good, four wheels bad. Have you rode your bike today? Call
