top five dramatic mormon incidents
the reed smoot hearings. specifically when joseph f smith got asked if he was incapable of financially supporting his plural wives post-manifesto without having sex with them. i know i would have been one of the people rubbernecking in the gallery at congress had i lived in that era.
joseph smith's assassination like...got me feeling 9000 different ways. i think basically everything from the burning of the nauvoo expositor onwards was just fucking batshit insane and when i read about it it's like. I Am Not Immune To Feeling Emotionally moved
ann eliza webb young divorcing and suing brigham young and the courts awarding her alimony and him going to jail for refusing to pay it lmfaoooo
when joseph smith had translated the first 112 pages of the book of mormon manuscript and martin harris was like can i take it home and show it to my wife. and he said yes but don't lose it. and THIS FUCKING FOOL IMMEDIATELY LOST IT KJSADFBJKDSZDF. i also think the fallout from this incident is a great piece of evidence for the joseph-smith-made-the-whole-thing-up theory but besides that it's just soooooo funny. also related shoutout to martin harris claiming that he could tame snakes through the power of god and immediately touching a big ass snake with his bare foot and the snake bit him.
ervil lebaron putting out a hit on rival polygamist leader rulon allred and having one of his wives go and gun him down in the waiting room at his chiropractic clinic. deeply insane activities. i do feel sorry for the allred family esp after having read rulon's daughter's memoir but i don't particularly feel sorry for rulon who was also a total freak
amazing question btw thank you so much
#i also think all the polygamy events and esp like the circumstances around the plural marriage revelation and emma's reaction to joseph's m#marriages esp to the partridge sisters are really fascinating and would make a compelling drama but i couldnt really pick one incident

"Amazingly, here is the glorious (long-delayed) follow-up to Fred Lane’s 1988 Shimmy Disc LP, Car Radio Jerome. In the wake of that surreal masterpiece, Shimmy announced an LP called Icepick to the Moon, but it took 31 years to wrestle this slab of bacon to the mat. And you’ll be glad we did.
Icepick takes up where Jerome left off. As inhabited by visual artist, Tim Reed, “Fred Lane” (I’ll drop the quote marks after this) is a lounge crooner with smoothly classic vocal chops and a taste for lyrics shaped by Alfred Jarry’s proto-Dada writings. Fred Lane is a creature of the ‘Pataphysical South, inhabiting the same pocket universe as Bruce Hampton and Eugene Chadbourne. And we guarantee his music is as deeply fried as anything you’ve ever heard. Or eaten.
The roots of Lane have been explored in Skizz Cyzyk’s great documentary, Icepick to the Moon (to which this is not a soundtrack LP), and are traceable back as far as high school in the late ’60s, where Lane and the late guitarist Davey Williams had a weird-o cover band. A couple years later, they both ended up in the Tuscaloosa Alabama student/hippie ghetto (near the University), where some older artists — Craig Nutt (aka “Ron ‘Pate”) and a few odd others — had formed an art collective, Raudelunas, to do all the whacked out stuff interesting people like to do. This included art, free music, film and so on, all incorporating a decidedly Dada/Surrealist perspective. This was the beginning of a long Alabama Surrealist tradition that includes LaDonna Smith, Anne LeBaron,Wally Shoup and many others.
Anyway, at some point, Reed brought his Fred Lane persona to the party — an accretion of totally insane lyrics and performance tropes, set to what almost sounds like swinging cocktail music until you start noticing the bizarre detailing and avant-garde highlighting. Coming at the same early ’70s moment that lounge retro was functionally hip (Manhattan Transfer, Asleep at the Wheel, Capt. Matchbox, etc.) the results were a complete mindfuck.
The rest of the story you should know. Several albums were generated by the Raudelunas cartel on their own Say Day-Bew label, and much related madness was done on Davey Williams’ and LaDonna Smith’s label, Trans Museq. But this music was mostly a regional and sub-sub-underground secret until Shimmy Disc issued Car Radio Jerome in ’88, then followed that up with a reissue of its predecessor From the One That Cut You) in ’89. Those records blew a lot of minds on a variety of levels. After that Lane more or less disappeared back into the art world, where he applied the same brakeless aesthetic to different forms. Whirlygigs, anyone?
Icepick was either a long time in gestation or it wasn’t. The music, penned by Reed with Roger Hagerty (aka Dick Foote), played by a band with Williams (aka Cyd Cherise) on guitar, is unbelievably fine. Sadly, this was Williams’ last recording session, but the instrumental inventions are a wonderful extension of Jerome (which was notably more sophisticated, sonically, than earlier recordings). And the lyrics just get wilder the more you listen. Still, it’s hard to fathom there hasn’t been a new Fred Lane album in 31 years! I mean, Reagan was president then, and I had a full head of hair!
Regardless, we’re now well into a new century and Lane’s back to finish the job he was born to do! America, prepare to meet Fred Lane. One more time." -Byron Coley, 2019 (c/o Feeding Tube Records)

18 December 2019: Raudelunas ’Pataphysical Revue. (2003 Alcohol reissue of 1975 Say Day-Bew release)
Raudelunas was an avant-garde art collective of oddballs at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in the mid-to-late ’70s. The member of Raudelunas who gained the most traction in the rock world was T.R. Reid, aka Fred Lane, and I talk about him and Raudleunas extensively in my recent post at https://musiconanironingboard.tumblr.com/post/627265853430366208/1-december-2019-icepick-to-the-moon-fred-lane.
The album I’m posting today is a CD resurrection of an LP the collective released themselves in 1975. Fred Lane is present, of course (there he is on the back cover in his trademark tuxedo and boxer shorts), but there are numerous other groups present on this disc: Ron ’Pate’s Debonairs (Lane’s backing band on his “solo” albums); Anne LeBaron, today an accomplished classical harpist; The Captains of Industry; The Blue Denim Deals Without the Arms; and The Nubis Oxis Quarum. Some of these acts I remember from the recent Raudelunas/Fred Lane documentary Icepick to the Moon; others, for all I know, were one-offs for this recording. I’ve not gotten to it yet in my stack, but the album’s booklet suggests this was recorded live at the “Second Raudelunas Exposition” in a university auditorium. I wish I had been around to see that madness.
Above are the front and back covers of the CD reissue. Below are the opened gatefold, showing the disc; the front of the booklet, which more faithfully depicts the original 1975 album cover, and the back of the booklet.
If you want to read even more about Raudelunas, raudelunas.com gives a pretty comprehensive overview.

Une majorité de citoyennes et de citoyens le demandent : retrait de la réforme Macron !
Depuis le 5 décembre, des millions d'hommes et de femmes se retrouvent dans les grèves, dont beaucoup en reconductible, et les manifestations à l'appel des organisations syndicales.
Ils et elles rejettent la réforme du système de retraites que veulent leur imposer le président de la République et son gouvernement.
Ce projet n'est pas acceptable, car il est porteur de régression des droits de chacune et chacun : toutes les hypothétiques avancées proposées par le gouvernement devraient être financées par des baisses de pensions ou par l'allongement de la durée de la vie au travail. D'autres choix sont pourtant possibles.
C'est pourquoi nous demandons le retrait du projet présenté par le Premier ministre, afin que soient ouvertes sans délai de vraies négociations avec les organisations syndicales, pour un système de retraites pleinement juste et solidaire, porteur de progrès pour toutes et tous, sans allongement de la durée de la vie au travail.
