The Breakfast Club: 7-1-2014

Welcome to The Breakfast Club! We’re a disorganized group of rebel lefties who hang out and chat if and when we’re not too hungover we’ve been bailed out we’re not too exhausted from last night’s (CENSORED) the caffeine kicks in. Everyone’s welcome here, no special handshake required. Just check your meta at the door.

Join us every weekday morning at 9am (ET) and weekend morning at 10:30am (ET) to talk about current news and our boring lives and to make fun of LaEscapee! If we are ever running late, it’s PhilJD’s fault.

It feels like years since it’s been here

Is this the new “Dead Man”?

Reference for those not in the know.

Some friends and I have referred to Keith Richards as “The dead man”, you can see it in his eyes, the dude has been dead for years yet still he stands. I hope he donates his body to science. I also hope I am still around when they do the autopsy and explain to the rest of us how he made this far.

I digress.

Lemmy Kilmister Stares Down Age 70: ‘How Did That Happen to Me?’
 

“I’m old, you know,” he eventually admits. “In two years I’m 70, which is ridiculous. How did that happen to me?”

Life as Jimi Hendrix’s Roadie  

“I was sleeping on [Jimi Hendrix’s roadie] Neville Chester’s floor – he was sharing a flat with Noel Redding, so whenever they needed an extra pair of hands I was right there. I didn’t get the job for any talent or anything. But I did see Jimi play a lot. Twice a night for about three months. I’d seen him play backstage too. He had this old Epiphone guitar – it was a 12-string, strung as a six string – and he used to stand up on a chair backstage and play it. Why he stood up on the chair, I don’t know.

Three Un-related matters

Florida Makes Off-Grid Living Illegal

It’s no secret that an opposition to sustainable living exists. Earlier this year, Texas state brought several SWAT teams to a sustainable community and threatened to shut it down. Each one of the community members were initially handcuffed at gunpoint. It was called “The Garden of Eden Community,” and was totally self sustainable. You can read more about that here.

This time, it’s Robin Speronis that’s come under fire. She lives off the grid in Florida, completely independent of the city’s water and electric system. A few weeks ago, officials ruled her off-grid home illegal. Officials cited the International Property Maintenance Code, which mandates that homes be connected to an electricity grid and a running water source. That’s just like saying our dependency on corporations isn’t even a choice. The battle to live without most utilities has been ongoing for Robin, the self-sufficient woman has lived for more than a year and a half using solar energy, a propane camping stove and rain water.

This Trucker Pulls Over a Cop for Speeding

Trucker Brian Miner was driving through Illinois this week when he says he saw an officer of the law pass him traveling well over the posted speed limit.

He says that the officer was on his cellphone as well.

Mr. Miner, like most of us does not like the above the law, double-standard of police, so he took action by honking his horn to pull the officer over.

A money making opportunity

The UK is facing a major sperm shortage that may be tempting fertility clinics to accept poorer quality sperm, the British Fertility Society (BFS) warns.

Some clinics rely on imported sperm to keep up with demand.

However, the BFS chairman, Dr Allan Pacey, said he was “worried” that some clinics may be setting a lower bar to “get donors through the door”.
