THIS FRIDAY NIGHT ‘THE ZEITGEIST ADDENDUM’ IS AT THE TEMEKU THEATER


Temecula, Ca – For only $5, you can see just what all the recent tax protests were all about in the movie ‘The Zeitgeist Addendum’, happening tonight at The Temeku Theater Movie. The movie starts at 11:15PM. The first 50 people will receive a free DVD of the predecessor film, ‘Zeitgeist’.

Remember, ‘the first thing to do is to ridicule’. There’s reason why the weird news is presented on a show by this name through a geek. This is a non-profit event with all proceeds going to buy more DVDs for distribution and a chance to meet other like-minded persons. This is your chance to be ‘The Man Named Thursday’. Be there, or remain uninformed! For sheeple who don’t mind coming out under the cover of darkness for a morning after tidbit of coffee conversation.

Dear readers,

The following letter is from Nick Biddle, a Conservative Republican from Temecula. Mr Biddle is a fierce opponent to the proposed quarry for a variety of reasons, a lot of info can be found on this site. Here he presents a new approach to stopping the quarry from going in. It is certainly worth a read.

The video certainly worth a view. It is from CNN.com and about a mining town called Picher Oklahoma. Picher is now a ghost town with poisoned air, land and water. I am sure the people of Picher never thought their town would end up this way, and even if only 1% of what happened in Picher happened in Temecula, Rainbow or Fallbrook it would be too much. Consider all this when thinking about the future of Temecula Valley and if we trully want a mine located where Granite Construction is proposing the ‘Liberty Quarry’. Please feel free to chime in and leave comments.

———————
Remember when Toyota began exporting ugly, tinny, underpowered little malfunctioning copycat cars to America in 1959? (Yes, I’m that old.) GM’s Caddy Eldorado Biarritz convertible was the American dream machine then. Toyota quickly retreated in abject failure—only to return again a few years later, with a slightly less revolting car. Fast forward. “And the rest is history”, as Paul Harvey used to say. Toyota is now the top selling car in America while mighty GM is bankrupt, done, kaput.

Temecula’s Plan A, just like Toyota’s, didn’t work, with the mullahs of LAFCO in Riverside on June 4th. With an imperious sweep of the hand, they ignored all our written petititions which were arduously, and admirably gathered by hardworking, devoted SOS members and leaders, many erudite and passionate individual speeches. They sternly labeled all of us as farcical, having already leaked to the press the previous week that they were against us, and warning us not to bore them. Okay, so bring on Plan B.

Shift gears. Don’t dig ourselves deeper into the same hole with the same failed strategy. Be agile Toyota, not sclerotic, smug GM.
Copy what works. It’s unnecessary to “re-invent the wheel”. Emulate feisty, adaptable, relentless copycat Toyota. Don’t mope around. Do change strategy.

Here’s Plan B:
Copy (gulp) Granite Construction Company’s proven successful PR and advertising strategy. It works, different from our failed methods. Yes, Granite is very good at what it does. Copy them. The Japanese did cheezy knock-offs of American products fifty plus years ago, as China does today. Similarly we can outdo Granite at its own proven PR game, but we’re for real, not phony or cheezy or dishonest like Granite. When we see their huge color ads featuring laughing children, smiling miners in yellow hardhats, green Liberty Bells, back dropped with crystal blue sky over our beautiful hills with the intoned message “character matters”, we know it’s all sheer, bogus nonsense.

But it WINS!
Our strategy LOSES!

We moan about mountain lions’ and other wild critters’ interrupted paths across SMER, itself a 47 year old world famous national and international treasure. But this only allows Granite to portray us as a bunch of bleeding heart, tree hugging Socialist elitists, while good ole Granite looks out for the regular down home folks of Riverside County just trying to make a living. Our whole approach seems to have obligingly played right into their dishonest PR, like a moth to flame. Instead, let’s focus on a few (or many) groups of the 250,000 people in the Temecula Valley who will be adversely affected by the quarry.

For example:
1. Use as our template, that marvelous multicolored Granite ad. Get real laughing Temecula children and their parents playing in our beautiful, huge, new, proud Birdsall Park, one mile directly downwind from the toxic quarry, instead of the phony yellow hatted smiling truck drivers, child models, and green Liberty Bells. Keep the background blue sky and hills, though. They’re a great touch as Granite knows. We could even steal their smarmy “character matters” mantra, only we’ll be talking about the real character of all the many constituencies and businesses of Temecula and adjacent towns.

2. How about interviewing our resident Abbott Lab scientists, in their gorgeous, new, large office tower, as well as Granite’s truck drivers? Wouldn’t they have a word or two to say? By the way, Abbott has annual sales of $29.5 billion, compared to Granite’s puny $2.7 billion, and 69,000 employees, compared to Granite’s measly 3,500 employees. Shouldn’t we notice that and point it out?

3. So who’s really the 800 pound corporate gorilla in this picture who should be listened to, if we only care about corporate needs, and county tax revenues, as the Riverside Supervisors usually do? Would the Supervisors really want to sacrifice the needs of a far more important classy county client-resident, Abbott, for a rinky dink, often lawbreaking bush leaguer like Granite?
Face it. The Riverside Supervisors don’t care, and never will care, about anything other than what will get them reelected. Granite has money and influence of course, while we don’t have as much, but popular opinion and voters are the really big stick we do have, and which the Supervisors respect. Notice Iran’s Supreme Leader in Tehran today? Amazingly he’s back pedaling a bit, different from the 1979 bloodbath, and is worried about Twitter, the penultimate modern people power.

We need to get that sense of people power through to Riverside. Plan A (critters, environment and SDSU’s SMER) are still just as important as we all know and deeply care about, and must still be emphasized. But it can no longer be our main focus anymore. The 250,000 people and their lifestyle and health must be the main focus henceforth. Abbott’s hundreds of resident Temecula employees, are on our side. Let’s now enroll them and other similar corporate friends in the battle. It’s a lot more than about mountain lions, as Granite knows. At the end of the day, even if it’s only about the money, as Granite and the Supervisors believe, we win that one too, considering all the moneyed, Riverside County taxpaying interests of our community who will suffer from the Granite invasion.

DORKS A’POPPIN’

Temecula, CA – I have to admit that reading the Ashley Cook and Peter Surowski Valley News pieces about Master Splinter, Tawnie Gadban, and The Shake Ups brought a sly grin to my face as it validates what I’ve felt for years about the world of interesting local new music scene and the people who inhabit it. Here’s the latest, Guys. Cyndi Lauper is doing a new movie called ‘Section B’ and a band who played Madlins, Java Jo’z, and other spots around the towns is doing the music sound track. I think that is, well, you know what kind of awesome. Don’t make me use that ‘word’ on a Sunday, the one that begins with a ‘f’ and ends with a ‘k’? (‘firetruck’), and actually, it isn’t quite the same band, either. But let me tell you in their own words.


“A few cool things band wise- we just landed a role in the feature film Section B with Cyndi Lauper. Our song The Life will be in the movie and on the soundtrack, plus we’re acting as the backing band in the film. We’re stoked about it, Brian gets to produce almost the whole soundtrack including co-produce title track Dream by Cyndi.”

Huge, huge news!!!  H&SR has been selected to contribute music and act in the new feature film, Section B.  Ensemble cast includes Cyndi Lauper, Tippi Hedren, Ace Young, and Queen Emily. The guys (former D.O.R.K., former Animo, now Heart & Soul Radio) will be contributing their own song “The Life” as well as acting as the backing band in the film.  On top of that our own Brian Johannsen will be producing a handful of original songs written for the movie performed by Ace Young, Queen Emily, Jennifer Wilde, and the legendary Cyndi Lauper!  Schuyler and Jimmy are slotted to contribute their musical talents on the tracks as well. Recently the independent film, written and directed by Darla Rae, has sparked quite the controversy around “Britain’s Got Talent” star Susan Boyle.  Rae extended an offer to the overnight sensation to sing a duet with Queen Emily, upsetting “Britain’s Got Talent” creators.  Lauper chimed in with her own two cents at the Tribeca Film Festival saying “I think she’s a kick.  I really like her” and it would be “fantastic” if Boyle accepted the role.


Follow all the hype, twists, and turns at film’s official website and blog: http://www.sectionbmovie.com Filming is expected to start early this Fall and Brian will be in the studio throughout the summer recording the tracks.  The film already has distribution and is releasing on 1,000 screens across North America.  A soundtrack featuring Lauper’s title track “Dream” along our song “The Life” will also be available.  This is going to be an amazing experience for us and we appreciate the opportunity, many thanks to Darla Rae and Jennifer Wilde for thinking of us!Here’s the cast thus far:Cyndi Lauper - Betty (Grammy Award Winner), Tippi Hedren - Helen (I Heart Huckabees, House of Good and Evil, “CSI”), Marla Maples - Martina (For Richer or Poorer, “Sunset Beach”), Tiffany Trump – Megan, Queen Emily - Bonnie (“America’s Got Talent”), Ace Young - Ryan (“American Idol Season 5”, Grease on Broadway), Jennifer Wilde – Delilah, Kirk Montgomery – Spencer, Steven Christopher Parker - Jackson (“ER”, Juno, Little Miss Sunshine), Darla Rae- Barbara (Halloween, Powder), Michael Shaloub - Mr. P (Monk), Laura Dodd – Lily, Jennifer Sciole, Denise Plante, Andrea Frizzi, and Mike Wheaton.
