Who would have thought that
a shitty musical stage show about transvestites from space would lead to so
much?
Written by Richard O'Brien and opening in London, June of 1973, it spawned a
movie (The Rocky Horror Picture Show, 1975) and a slew of countries staging
their own performances and releasing album after album, from the UK, the US
and Germany to Iceland, Korea and Mexico.

In 1972,
Anne Kilmer (professor of Assyriology, University of California, and a curator
at the Lowie Museum of Anthropology at Berkeley) transcribed one of the oldest
known pieces of music notation, and is the "Hymn to Nikal".
The clay music
tablets are in the cuneiform script of the Hurrian language, and were excavated
in the early 1950s at ancient city of Ugarit (in Syria).
The tablets date back to approximately 1400 B.C. and is a song for the moon god's wife, Nikal. Remarkably, the tablets also contain detailed performance instructions for a singer accompanied by a harpist as well as instructions on how to tune the harp.

In a Party City advertising flier circulated to thousands of North Texas residents, a message above the word Hanukkah read: "C.C. hates the Jews." The flier was to announce items the Party City store was selling for the Jewish holiday.
The advertising company, ADVO, which produced the ad, says a graphic artist at their Pittsburgh shop left his desk and a coworker altered the words as a prank, thinking it would be caught before going to print.

Antonin Artaud (1896 - 1948) final work, Pour En Finir Avec le Judgement de Dieu [To Have Done with the Judgment of God], was recorded for a Radio France broadcast in 1947. It was to air in Feburary of 1948, but was pulled for its anti-American, anti-Catholic and scatalogical rants (he died the following month).

Translation: Lunatic asylums are dumpsites for black magic, conscious and premeditated. Not only do doctors encourage the magic through their irascible and stupid therapies, but they produce it. If there were no doctors, there would be no patients because it is through doctors and not patients that society began. Those who live, live through the dead. Death must also live. There is nothing like a lunatic asylum to gently brood death and keep the dead incubated. It began 4000 years ago before Christ, a therapeutic technique of slow death. Modren medicine, as an accomplice to the most sinister and dishonest magic, submits the dead to electric shock, to insulin therapy, in order each day to empty men of their Selves, and present them as empty and fantastically available for the obscene anatomic and atomic solicitations of the so-called bardo state. In electroshock therapy there is also a limp state through which each traumatized victim must go through, leaving him fearfully ignorant of who he was when he was himself. This is a state I once knew, and will not forget it. The bribed medicine lies each time it presents a patient as cured. As far as I'm concerned, by this method I've seen only terrorized people, unable to retrieve their Self. All who go through the electroshock bardo never come back from its darkness, and life is debased. I say it once more: the bardo is death, and death is only a black magic state that until recently did not exist. Artificially creating death in this way, as medicine now does, is to favor the return of an obscurity that never benefited anyone, and from which certain profiteers of mankind have fed themselves since a certain point in time. Which one? The time when one had to chose between renouncing being a man or becoming an evident lunatic. But, what guarantee is there that the evident lunatics of this world can be cured?

Jim Roche, a performance
artist from Dallas, and part of a group of artists called the "Oak Cliff
Four", made his way onto the New York art scene in the 1970s and began
performance pieces in galleries where he would go into a trance-like state and
channel redneck characters from his old neighborhood. He later became a professor
at Florida State University.
Many of these channels were released on a double LP, Learning to Count,
1982 by a museum in Kansas, and the album tracks below are some the most racist
and sexist audio rants to ever be put on vinyl.

In November 1978, Congressman
Leo Ryan led a mission to Jim Jones' settlement in Guyana called Jonestown after
relatives of Jones' Peoples Temple complained of abuses. The delegation arrived
in Jonestown on November 15 and spent three days interviewing residents. They
tried to leave the morning of November 18, taking with them over a dozen Peoples
Temple members who wanted to leave. As they were boarding planes, a truck with
a few of Jones' armed guards began to shoot at them. Six people were killed:
Representative Ryan, Don Humphrey (a reporter from NBC), a cameraman from NBC,
a newspaper photographer, and one defector from the Peoples Temple.
Later, 910+ of the remaining cult members of Jonestown (276 of them children),
died in a mass suicide (though many were found to be murdered). Some obeyed
Jones' instructions to commit "revolutionary suicide" by drinking
cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid (often misconstrued as Kool-aid), others
died by forced cyanide injection or by shooting. Jones was found dead sitting
in a deck chair with a gunshot wound to the head, although it is unknown if
he had been murdered or committed suicide. Under his "throne" was
found a tape recorder, which had caught the suicides.
The link below is a clip of what was on that tape:

The World's oldest condom...
This is a pic of a reusable condom which dates back to 1640, and came with a users' manual, written in Latin. The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases. In case you're wondering, it is made of pig intestine.
