R

uss Rollins began his radio career in 1993 by purchasing an hour of time on WGTO, a small AM station in Winter Garden Florida. For $100.00 an hour, “Party Talk with Russ and Bo” promoted “Rollins Party World”, Russ’ party rental business. The idea was to hopefully increase rentals on moon jumpers and dunk tanks. They quickly realized that they got a lot attention talking about funny, adult topics. Russ also gave a prize to every listener that called the radio talk show. Today he has taken the radio show from the AM station to the legendary talk station, Real Radio 104.1 FM. The show, renamed the “Monsters in the Morning”, can now be heard world wide on Iheart Radio. Russ has taken the show from the one hour of radio air time, to one of the highest rated radio shows in Central Florida. The “Monsters in the Morning” have been a legendary fixture of Orlando radio for close to thirty years. Russ is also the author of the “Jolly Jane” Graphic novels. “Jolly Jane” is the on going saga of a beautiful paramedic that is possessed by our nations first female serial killer, Jolly Jane. The graphic novels are available on “Big City Comics”. Russ was on the professional

wrestling stage, winning the Southern Championship Wrestling hard core Championship in 2001-2004. Rollins had world famous tag team partners like “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes and Johnny B. Badd. He played drums for the “Monsters Band” from 1998-2015, selling out “Hard Rock Live” eight years in a row. The Monsters band performed sold out concert with acts such as George Clinton & Parliament, Vince Neil, Eddie Money and Dee Snider. Along with being an “Orlando’s Big Shot” Nominee in “The Orlando Weekly” in

2020, the “Monsters” have been named “Orlando’s Best Radio show” several years in a row. Rollins also was the creator of the “Kicks for Guns” program in Orlando. Started in 2000, the gun trade in program has successfully gotten over 10 thousand

unwanted guns off the streets of Central Florida. “Crimeline” and the Orange County sheriffs department have recognized Russ for this ongoing program. If you were in Orlando radio for the past couple decades, chances are you came in contact with Russ Rollins & the Monsters. Many radio personalities that began with the Monsters, now have their own radio show. SBK,

Soul Brother Kevin, has his own show in Tampa. The popular “Tom & Dan” podcast started as “Drunky the Bear” and “Daniel Dennis” with the Monsters. Long time founding member “Dirty Jim” now hosts his own show, “The Jim Colbert Show” on Real Radio. When it comes to competing with the Monsters in the ratings, they have bested national

legends like Rush Limbaugh, Bubba “The Love Sponge” and even Howard Stern. “What Russ has done with the Monsters down in Florida has been a nationally recognized success story,” says Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers Magazine. Russ has been on the list of Talkers Magazines “Heavy Hundred” for over 15 years and he was on the “Talkers Magazine - Top 100 Most important Talk Show hosts in America.” in 2020. In the end Russ says, “I’m not in radio for the money. I don’t judge my success by signing million dollar contracts, I just want people to say ‘You know what? That Russ Rollins, he left his mark on radio. But don’t worry, you can get that off with a little Ajax.” Russ can be heard with the “Monsters in the Morning” weekdays on Real Radio 104.1 and nation wide on Iheart Radio. Also, weekdays live on “Real Radio Monsters” on Youtube. Sponsored Content by the Monsters YouTube chat

¶ Triggered Last week we reported that U.S. House Rep. Lauren Boebert (an Altamonte Springs native), who was denied access to the House Floor for setting off a metal detector after refusing to leave her Glock at home and who vowed to “work every day to end ALL gun free zones,” will be speaking this week at CPAC. Which is at the Hyatt Regency Orlando. Which has a strict no-firearms policy. @Brian Leavitt They just love dragging all the trash in surrounding Florida counties down to the amenities and infrastructure of the hellish liberal failure that is this solidly blue county. Why don’t you do this shit at some red county racetrack or livestock auction in a place that actually voted for you? @Ryan Hamilton The ghost of Sarah Palin’s political career possessed that woman. @Joseph Bouchard Who cares about politics! I wanna know who has the labor for this event! This stagehand is starving! @Christopher Shreve Super stoked to have anti-maskers and non-tippers flood my restaurant next weekend!

¶ Doo-doo drop by Last week we told you about a Florida restaurant that wants guests to know that face masks aren’t required (“Weeki Wachee restaurant goes viral with ‘face diapers not required’ proclamation and signage,” Feb. 17). Readers weren’t thrilled with their shitty attempt at wit. @Paul Kern It’s funny … I used to own a nightclub and I can’t recall a time when I was better educated about medical science than the medical professionals. And yet today, SO many restaurant owners clearly feel that they are. @Scott Walls I wonder how they feel about washing the cooks’ hands and making sure they have proper sanitation measures in their restaurant. @Erin Sullivan* They’re admitting that masks and diapers serve a similar purpose (to protect other people from gross and/or harmful things), but then imply that they’re not necessary? I think they’re undermining their entire point, here. Please wear a mask so you don’t get your shit everywhere. (Ed. note: This comment is not from our former editor of the same name.) @Suzanne Garand Perfect, weeding out the gene pool. Let them congregate to their hearts’ delight. 10

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● FEB. 24-MARCH 2, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

@Vanina Sanin Rivera Wow, so disrespectful to the medical professionals that wear these “face diapers” every day and work tirelessly to keep us safe every day. @Sharon McBride This is not funny. Where did human compassion go? One of my family members died from COVID-19 who was a nurse and currently my sister is in the hospital with COVID-19, six days and counting. To not wear a mask is inhumane. @Jak Keating Just sucks that these are the same idiots who are clogging up the ICUs around the state. Stupid is as stupid does, and man oh man is the Orlando shitshow just parading around in a fully flamboyant display. Anyone who delights in denying science, have at it. At this stage it is a matter of survival of the fittest, and the clowns packing restaurants and nightclubs aren’t the “survivors.” Y’all should look into the long-term health risks associated with even a light sickness; it would blow your minds, but then again, the majority of Floridians do NO research. Fuck Deathsantis and fuck you if you’re one of these sciencedenying right-wing extremists. @Ken Balch These morons and their customers all deserve what they’re likely to get. Unfortunately, they’ll also be exposing unknown numbers of innocent people in their vicinity as they go about their entitled, clueless days. @Erik Lievano Sweet! Wonder if there’s no seatbelt requirement for the drive there or condom requirement just in case you get lucky while eating at this shithole? I know … why not post a sign that says “no payment required”? Idiots.

¶ Triggered, part 2 The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which oversees concealed weapons licenses, said last week, “The Division of Licensing is experiencing the largest volume of concealed weapon license applications in the program’s history.” @Charles Link The gun companies love it when a Democrat is in the White House because then they can push that false narrative that they are coming for your guns. @Dave Hardison One more time: Democrats are not coming to take your guns away. Anyone who tells you that is just trying to sell you more guns. A gun might be a decent investment if the government collapses and you have to defend your home from gangs, or wolves, or whatever. But even then, you will still be about twice as likely to accidentally shoot yourself as to defend your home.

LEGACY OF ASHES Want to see what Rush built? Look around you BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

Before Rush Limbaugh’s body was cold,

Republican officials and thought leaders tripped over themselves to eulogize “an icon, patriot and [an] American hero” and “a giant of the conservative movement.” One after another, they lamented his passing last Wednesday like he was John Stuart Mill rather than a college dropout who got rich convincing mediocre white men that “commie-libs“ and “feminazis“ and affirmative action were holding them down. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pledged to order his state’s flags flown at half-staff to honor Limbaugh — “an absolute legend” and “friend of mine” — in defiance of the state’s flag protocol. In a written statement, DeSantis gushed over Limbaugh’s ability to “connect with his listeners across the fruited plain — the hard-working, God-fearing and patriotic Americans who were and are the subject of derision and ridicule by the legacy media.” Donald Trump emerged from his Mar-aLago humiliation hole, making the right-wing cable rounds to praise the race-baiting, misogynistic radio provocateur — whom he’d ostentatiously awarded a Presidential Medal of Honor during the 2020 State of the Union address — and renew his complaints about the “stolen” election. These tributes acknowledged a simple reality: His influence might have waned over the last few years, but no one in a generation had shaped the Republican Party like Rush. There was a similar acknowledgment outside the Fox News Cinematic Universe. You could hardly open a browser without hitting a barrage of think pieces about Limbaugh’s legacy: How he invented Trump. How he taught Republicans to love bullies. How he led conserva-

tives to disinformation. How he turned dog whistles into bullhorns. How he made it okay to hate your neighbor. How he made America worse. But after three decades on the national airwaves, Limbaugh’s impact doesn’t require that much explanation. All you had to do was look around the week he died. Begin in North Carolina. Less than 48 hours before Limbaugh shuffled off his mortal coil, the state Republican Party convened an “emergency” meeting to censure threeterm Sen. Richard Burr for voting to convict Trump at his impeachment trial. Practically, the censure was meaningless. Burr isn’t seeking re-election. But it revealed plenty about the extremists who run the party. Consider — to cite one example — that while the NCGOP rebuked Burr, it hasn’t censured longtime state Rep. Larry Pittman, who has advocated secession, proposed shooting Black Lives Matter “vermin,” suggested publicly hanging abortion providers and blamed a high school massacre on a “communist Democrat” gun control conspiracy. Burr voted to convict Trump for inciting a deadly insurrection. Pittman said that Abraham Lincoln was a “tyrant” just like Hitler. The NCGOP deemed one of these things worthy of denunciation. This mentality isn’t confined to North Carolina. Except for Sen. Mitt Romney, every Republican senator who voted to convict Trump has been or might soon be censured by their state parties. (A Pennsylvania party official explained, “We did not send [Sen. Pat Toomey] there to ‘do the right thing’ or whatever.”)

This is Limbaugh’s legacy. Not just because he amplified Trump’s election-fraud bullshit and compared the Jan. 6 rioters to the 1776 revolutionaries. But because he molded a tribal party bound by grievance, convinced that inconvenient facts are Liberal Media misinformation, and so anchored to a demagogue that the second-highest-ranking House Republican won’t admit that Joe Biden didn’t steal the election. The day Limbaugh died, millions of Texans were without power following a freak winter storm while the state’s politicians — those not jet-setting to Cancun, anyway — blamed renewable energy for the outages, a claim so absurdly disingenuous it’s hardly worth debunking, much less pointing out that it’s been paid for by the fossil fuel industry. What happened, of course, is that natural gas pipelines froze because Texas — the only state to maintain its own electric grid so it can keep federal regulators at bay — never bothered to properly insulate its power plants. This, too, is Limbaugh’s legacy: both the unquestioning belief in the unregulated free market that gave rise to this disaster — until, that is, the free market fails and Uncle Sam comes to the rescue — and the knee-jerk reflex to blame the people Limbaugh derided as “environmentalist wackos,” whom the political shock jock likened to jihadis. Limbaugh — no surprise here — was a climate crisis denier, and from his perch, he arguably did more than anyone else to block the U.S. from developing a strategy to combat greenhouse gas emissions. By backing conservatism into an anti-science corner and painting anyone who cared about the planet as a “long-haired, maggot-infested” tree-hugger, he made any admission of climate change’s reality, let alone an effort to address it, a career-killer in Republican politics. (Ironically, or sadly, he was — at least in 1994 — a tobacco denier, too: “There is no conclusive proof that nicotine’s addictive,” he said during a show, “[or of ] cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease.”) There are plenty more examples. To wit: In West Virginia and New Hampshire, Republicans introduced bills to ban the teaching of “divisive concepts” in schools, meaning teachers couldn’t talk about the country’s history of white supremacy. White kids’ feelings might get hurt. But we’ll conclude in Georgia, where Republican lawmakers reacted to Democratic victories in the presidential and U.S. Senate races with a vicious attack on ballot access, particularly for African Americans. They want to severely limit absentee voting — which wasn’t a problem until Democrats started using it — and early voting, especially on Sundays, when Black churches often organize “Souls to the Polls” events. They want to repeal automatic voter registration, restrict early-voting drop boxes, impose voter ID laws and expand “poll watcher” access. Ostensibly, this will address “the lack of public confidence in election results,” the House Speaker’s office told CNN, omitting the circumstances under which that lack of confidence arose. In reality, this is little more than a shameless power grab — and a thinly veiled exercise in white supremacy. Limbaugh would approve. As his eulogizers said, Rush was indeed “a giant of the conservative movement.” But it’s hard to look at the state of conservative politics and think of that as a compliment.

DeSantis proposes new election legislation that leans a little heavy on voter suppression While simultaneously bragging about Florida’s success handling record turnouts during the 2020 election, last Thursday Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Blaise Ingoglia proposed new legislation that would completely transform the state’s entire election process. “Last November, Florida held the smoothest, most successful election of any state in the country,” said DeSantis in a statement. “While we should celebrate this feat, we should not rest on our laurels. Today, we are taking action to ensure that Florida remains a leader on key issues regarding our electoral process, such as ballot integrity, public access to election information, transparency of election reporting and more. “By strengthening these election integrity protections, we will ensure that our elections remain secure and transparent, and that Florida’s electoral process remains a blueprint for other states to follow.” Arguably leaning on the mindset of “If less people vote, there can’t be any fraud,” the proposed bill would focus on things like reducing ballot dropbox sites (which have attracted zero controversy over the years in Florida except from former President Donald Trump baselessly shitting on them in other states), banning ballot harvesting (another non-issue), requiring people to ask for a mail-in ballot every year (rather than every two years), preventing “mass mailing of vote-by-mail ballots” (literally zero counties in Florida do this at the moment), and stopping counties from using third-party organizations to “get out the vote.” Of course, the proposal was met with fierce opposition from state Democrats and voting rights advocates. “[DeSantis] takes the lead on voter suppression!” tweeted State Rep. and Democrat Anna Eskamani. “Late last year he was bragging about how well elections went in FL and now he wants to make voting (& voting by mail!) as hard as possible!” Florida ACLU lawyer Abdelilah Skhir echoed this sentiment, questioning the motives behind the proposal. “Florida lawmakers have been saying for months how smoothly our elections went. And they did!” tweeted Skhir. “So why are they proposing major reforms that would lead to fewer people voting?” From the proposed bill:

Ballot Integrity • Address the use of ballot drop boxes. • Address ballot harvesting so that no person may possess ballots other than their own and their immediate family. • No mass mailing of vote-by-mail ballots — only voters who request a ballot should receive a ballot. • Vote-by-mail requests must be made each election year. • Vote by mail ballot signatures must match the most recent signature on file. Transparency in the Elections Process • Political parties and candidates cannot be shut out from observing the signature matching process. • Supervisors of Elections must post over-vote ballots to be considered by the canvassing board on their website before the canvassing board meets. • Prohibits counties from receiving grants from private third-party organizations for “get out the vote” initiatives. Transparency in Elections Reporting • Requires real-time reporting of voter turnout data at the precinct level. • Supervisors of Elections must report how many ballots have been requested, how many have been received and how many are left to be counted. Again, none of these things were issues last election, but apparently someone’s nervous about 2022. — Colin Wolf

Proposed new Florida rules for smokable medical marijuana spark anger, debate Looks like medical marijuana is sparking a battle again. Members of the Joint Committee on Medical Marijuana met last Thursday to begin developing the practice standards that Florida-licensed physicians must follow when ordering smokable pot. And they weren’t happy. The panel is composed of members of the Florida Board of Medicine and the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine. Joint committee member Jorge Lopez, a physician from Maitland, said smoking is toxic and that the medical boards shouldn’t be in a position of condoning the behavior. But committee chairwoman Sandra Schwemmer tried to assuage the concerns by noting that the boards could use the rules to discipline rogue doctors who don’t abide

by the standards that ultimately are adopted. And Ed Tellechea, who serves as the Board of Medicine’s general counsel, told committee members that they are required to follow the Legislature’s direction and pass the rules. Tellechea suggested that the boards rely on rules for ordering controlled substances as a template for the medical marijuana rules, and modify them as appropriate. The Joint Committee on Medical Marijuana is scheduled to meet again March 11 and April 15 in an attempt to finalize the rules in time for a July 1 deadline mandated by the Legislature. Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2016 that broadly legalized medical marijuana. The Legislature in 2017 passed a law to implement the amendment but banned smoking medical marijuana. The ban was successfully challenged in circuit court, but then-Gov. Rick Scott’s administration appealed the decision. Shortly after getting elected in November 2018, DeSantis did a turnabout from his predecessor and came out in support of smoking medical marijuana. After taking office in 2019, the governor gave lawmakers a deadline to pass a bill that did away with the smoking ban. The bill, which DeSantis signed into law on March 18, 2019, also mandated that the medical boards by July 1, 2021 adopt rules for physicians to follow when ordering smokable marijuana for their patients. As members of the joint committee grapple with the rules, Senate President Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, dropped a medical-marijuana bombshell. Simpson told reporters last week that the Florida Senate may be willing to place a cap on the amount of allowable euphoria-inducing THC in medical-marijuana products, including whole flower that is smoked. The Senate until now has opposed the THC caps. But the makeup of the Florida Senate changed after the November 2020 elections, including the election of Estero Republican Ray Rodrigues. As a House member, Rodrigues unsuccessfully pushed for THC caps to be included in the 2019 legislation that authorized smoking as a route of administration for medical marijuana. “I think we have a lot of senators that would support an idea like that,” Simpson said of the caps. “I do think there’s a lot of support for that type of limit.” Florida for Care, the nonprofit organization affiliated with a voter-approved 2016 constitutional amendment that legalized medical marijuana, launched an online petition to garner support to oppose the THC caps. — Christine Sexton, NSF

Orlando Sentinel newspaper sold to ‘vulture capitalist’ hedge fund Alden Global Capital Last Tuesday it was announced that the Tribune Company, parent of the Orlando Sentinel daily newspaper, will be bought by Alden Global Capital. The sale still requires the approval of shareholders and must pass regulatory scrutiny, but will most likely be finalized by June. For years, Alden’s unofficial nickname has been “the destroyer of newspapers.” Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan called the Manhattan-based hedge fund “one of the most ruthless of the corporate strip-miners seemingly intent on destroying local journalism,” for its model of acquiring and hollowing out local newspapers across the country. After being acquired by the Manhattan-based hedge fund in 2016, a network of regional papers in California went from an editorial staff of 1,000 to 150, and reporters say their newsroom now features rats, mildew, falling ceilings and filthy bathrooms. Last year, when Alden acquired a 32 percent stake in Tribune Co., Orlando Sentinel reporters felt the cold breath on their neck and accelerated their efforts to form a union. Their mission statement read, in part, “Alden has been called the ‘grim reaper’ and ‘Darth Vader’ of the newspaper industry because it harvests its properties for short-term profit and leaves the carcasses to rot.” The Sentinel Guild became official in May 2020. Now Annie Martin, an education reporter and one of three Sentinel Guild co-chairs, tells me, “The news that Alden is set to acquire our company is not surprising, but it certainly is disappointing. We think Orlando deserves better and the journalists who remain will continue to cover our community to the best of our ability.” Martin continued, “We maintain that local ownership is best and hold out hope that someone in Central Florida who recognizes the value of local news will consider buying the paper and saving this community mainstay from being destroyed by a hedge fund.” Only someone squeezing pennies until they bleed could think that 150 people could do the job of 1,000 — or someone who couldn’t care less about that job being done well. And there’s data to back up the contention that losing local news reporting has real results, not just nostalgic hand-wringing. A study published in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management found that levels of toxic emissions from local plants were reduced by 29 percent when they were covered by local media. Another study showed that municipal borrowing costs went up after a newspaper closed down. For the local governments included in the study, that meant an average of $650,000 more per bond issue. A study published in Urban Affairs Review shows cities with fewer reporters had less competition in mayoral races, and people were less inclined to vote. As its name implies, the Sentinel keeps watch over Orlando. And if Alden thinks maximizing profits for out-of-town shareholders is more important than building equity for local stakeholders, we will all need to keep our eyes wide open. — Jessica Bryce Young

fair, and efficient vaccine distribution the top priority that it should be,” Demings said. “I strongly support the administration’s effort to directly coordinate vaccine distribution, a change of strategy from the last administration’s ‘hands-off’ approach.” The sites will open at the following locations: Valencia College West Campus, 1800 S. Kirkman Road, Orlando; Tampa Greyhound Track, 755 E. Waters Ave., Tampa; Gateway Mall, 5200 Norwood Ave., Jacksonville; and Miami Dade Community College, North Campus, 11380 NW 27th Ave., Miami. — Melissa Perez-Carrillo

Here we go — Donald Trump announced as speaker for CPAC in Orlando In what will be his first major public appearance since leaving the White House, oneterm ex-president, spotlight-lover and flag-molester Donald Trump has been confirmed as a speaker for this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference … right here in Orlando. The annual CPAC Republican mega-gathering is set for this week — Feb. 25-28 — at the Hyatt Regency Orlando on International Drive. This will be the first time CPAC has been held outside the immediate environs of Washington, D.C. Trump is currently scheduled to speak on Feb. 28. Trump will join fellow conservative luminaries like gun-totin’ Colorado congressperson (and Altamonte Springs native) Lauren Boebert, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Rick Scott, Rep. Matt Gaetz, a fresh-from-vacation Sen. Ted Cruz and a host of other right-leaning politicians and media figures. Also: actor Jon Voight, shilling his new anti-choice movie. This will not be Trump’s first CPAC rodeo. He’s been making appearances since 2011, with the highlight so far being his two-plus hour speech and PDA session with an onstage American flag at CPAC 2020. A source told CNN last Saturday that Trump will speak about “the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement,” but we all know he’ll immediately veer off-script 45 seconds in and run through a laundry list of personal grievances instead. Not that his audience will mind a bit. Though a recent Politico article painted a picture of a conference in disarray, it would appear that the CPAC ship has righted itself. The former event theme of “America vs. Socialism” has even been jettisoned for the more au courant “America: Uncanceled.” Tickets for CPAC appear to be pretty much sold out except for the Premium Gold package, going for a mere $7,500. — Matthew Moyer

DeSantis announces four new COVID-19 vaccination sites in Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville Gov. Ron DeSantis announced last Friday that four FEMA-supported vaccination sites will open on March 3 in Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville. According to a DeSantis representative, the sites will be open every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will administer 2,000 jabs per day. Each site will have two smaller, mobile sites that will each administer 500 vaccinations per day in underserved areas. Pre-registration is required in order to receive the vaccine. In order to register, individuals can call their county vaccine hotline or register online. Rep. Val Demings of Florida’s 10th congressional district applauded President Biden’s push to open more vaccine sites. “This new vaccination site is proof that the new administration is making fast, orlandoweekly.com

SPECIAL DELIVERY Mail art is the subject of renewed interest from DIYers of all ages — learn more about the history of this art movement at Cornell Fine Arts Museum BY MATTHEW MOY ER

O

ne of several excellent exhibitions currently on display at Rollins College’s Cornell Museum, Pushing the Envelope: Mail Art from the Archives of American Art looks at the secret history of mail art, an anti-fine art movement in which artists, art enthusiasts and conceptual pranksters around the world used the postal service to collaborate and disseminate works far beyond the reach of the gallery or the academy. Pushing the Envelope is curated by Miriam Kienle, an assistant professor of art history at the University of Kentucky, with the help of some of her intrepid students, with materials sourced from the Smithsonian’s extensive holdings. The exhibition has been displayed at the Smithsonian Institute of American Art and other museums, and arrives at Rollins College at an oddly appropriate time. The New Yorker recently opined that “mail art, which requires neither exhibition space nor Zoom conferencing, is poised for a comeback” — and we agree. During a time when social interactions for most of us are fewer and farther between, taking a peep at the ol’ mailbox or getting a package on the doorstep is often the day’s highlight. The exhibition’s exploration of mail artists’ unique ways of creation, collaboration and connection are energizing and inspiring in the present now. Pushing the Envelope is a historical survey of the diverse, international mail art movement, starting with 1960s works from early movers like Ray Johnson and 22

Wallace Berman going through the decades to more recent practitioners. The sense of play and discovery is apparent, with all sorts of materials being fair game on these postage-stamped canvases, but the depth and adventurous technique present in the featured work goes far beyond mere art pranks. Even the simple, democratizing act of using the postal system to bypass traditional means of distributing and producing art becomes a bold statement in itself. It’s enough to make you want to buy some extra stamps … just in case the urge hits you. It certainly looks like the artists featured herein were having a ball. Case in point: Fletcher Copp and Ken Friedman’s “Sock of the Month” club, in which they’d send painted socks out to colleagues and critics alike. Kienle took the time to answer some questions Orlando Weekly posed to her about her personal experiences with mail art, taking a close look at a couple of pieces in the exhibition and if the mail art comeback is really happening. How did you and the Cornell partner up for this exhibition? Gisela Carbonell — curator at the Cornell — and I have known each other for years, since our days in the Art History graduate program at the University of Illinois. She and I were talking about the exhibition and she thought that it sounded like a great fit for the museum. She felt that the content of the show and the way it was curated would be inspiring for the local community and the students and faculty at Rollins.

What was the first piece of mail art that really struck a chord with you personally? I think it was a letterbox full of mail art that Ray Johnson had sent to the critic David Bourdon. I first saw it when I was working at Ubu Gallery in New York years ago. (This archive is now in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in D.C.) The humor, generosity and puckish unruliness of this work really struck me, as did the codes and elisions that spoke to the artist and critics’ shared queerness in the years before Stonewall and the gay liberation [movement]. The work was brave and engaging and that really inspired me. Since that time, I have not only gotten to know Johnson’s work better, but also the people he corresponded with. Robert Warner and I have grown particularly close through our now decadelong correspondence, and I would say now that Bob’s correspondence art is the work that means the most to me on a personal level. Getting his periodic mailings in my letterbox has gotten me through many difficult moments. Do you think mail art still has a place in our digitized, social media society? Yes, absolutely! In some respects, mail art networks anticipated the global connectivity of our digitized/social media society, but they also act counter to it by stressing how communication (postal and digital) is constructed and mediated, not seamless and immediate. Also, at the moment, everyone is so desperate for communication

that is not mediated by screens that mail art acts like a breath of fresh air. Anecdotally, do you currently see any uptick in mail art? Off the top of my head, when I think about mail art “practitioners” in Florida, I think about experimental musicians and artists Dylan Houser and Hal McGee. I personally have been making/receiving a lot more mail art, but I have also observed an explosion of exhibitions and articles on mail art since the pandemic began. Several critics have described it as a veritable “Mail Art Renaissance.” Would you give us a little bit of background on the mail art that Miguel Cubiles sent to Ramon Carulla from 1996? Miguel Cubiles and Ramon Carulla immigrated to the US from Cuba during the 1960s and were part of the Miami art scene until Cubiles moved to Mexico City in 1980. With mail art, artists living in exile could still participate in a shared Cuban culture and create a local scene, despite being apart. For example, in the collaged mailing that Cubiles sent to Carulla, which we featured in the show, the artist references “la salsa cubana” and “la macarena,” while also aligning himself with the mail art movement through his artistamp self-portrait inscribed with the words “arte correo.”

RYOSUKE COHEN MAIL ART TO JOHN EVANS, 2002 (ONGOING PROJECT SINCE 1985). JOHN EVANS PAPERS, ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN ART, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.

And how about the 2002 Ryosuke Cohen mail art to John Evans? This has been an ongoing back-and-forth between the two since 1985? Ryosuke Cohen and John Evans met through the mail art network and shared a similarly colorful and collaborative collage aesthetic. Evans’ collages were comprised of materials that he received in the mail and found on the

streets of New York; and Cohen’s works accumulated the artistamps, stickers, rubber stamps and drawings of thousands of mail artists from around the world. Through their collaborative works, I think that they both visualized the dynamism of the collective consciousness of the mail art multitude.

ant Fatties w e h t d n a b — Orlando ur stereo o y r e v o to take mailbox and your

O

rlando garage-punk trio the Fatties somehow managed to write and record a handful of new songs during the waning days of 2020, and they’re nearing the end of a campaign to get these songs pressed to a limited-edition vinyl single. Oh, and they’ve got a monthly, free Pen Pal mailing list that is an amazing and timely — while also very much not rooted to any particular time — project. The 7-inch record, Didn’t See Shit, features four brand-new numbers recorded at Danger Room Studios, engineered and mixed by scene lifers Josh Dobbs (RunnAmucks, Ripping Records) and mastered by Matt Kamm (Tele & the Ghost of Our Lord). The original plan to release a record through Total Punk fell through, so the band is trying to get the music out without a label. They’re self-releasing the single through the vinylon-demand service Qrates. The campaign for Didn’t See Shit is in the final stretch, and, if you pony up the $9.99, you’ll score a 7-inch record pressed on two-color splatter vinyl. Besides the prospect of new music and new records, the other reason that the Fatties have been on our radar lately is the monthly free mailing list they launched last year. It strikes us as a really creative and tangible means of connection at a time when people are still feeling isolated. “The whole mailing list thing came about because with shows nowhere in sight, I wanted to figure out a way to maintain a connection with our fans,” explains Fatties drummer Jordan Duttinger, who also runs the analog-devotee local cassette enterprise Godless America. “Personally, one of the only things that kept me sane through this whole thing was getting stuff in the mail. So I thought about how can we get mail out to people and

maybe spread some of that joy in these troubling times.” Once you’ve signed up for the Fatties’ Pen Pal list through their Facebook page, you get a little something sublimely weird and amazing in the mail each month. For free. Could be a postcard or a sticker or a trading card, or several of the above at once. It reminds us of old-school band fanclubs and zines, or even a sideways nod to the mail art movement. (More on that on pages 22-23, gentle reader.) And you don’t have to front anything to join — no self-addressed stamped envelope, cleverly concealed cash, nothing. When last we checked, the band was cooking up something special for a Valentine’s-themed February mailout repurposing dollar-store Valentine’s cards from the likes of Spongebob Squarepants and Paw Patrol. “It all kind of started with a postcard I had made up from a photo we took of us in Tarpon Springs,” recalls Duttinger. “Naturally I started to think of what could I send to people in the mail with just a stamp. So I started to bid on lots of random, sealed non-sports trading cards on eBay and ended up winning one with like 50-plus

packs of cards ranging from Terminator to FernGully. So on top of our stickers we started to send random trading cards to our Pen Pals. “We try to send out something at least once a month. Now we currently have 50-plus pen pals on our list and it keeps growing every day. I’m starting to get paper cuts on my tongue putting together these monthly mailings. … If we can bring a smile to someone’s face when they open one of our letters that’s what it’s really all about.”

BY SETH KUBERSKY

Four local STEM specialists appear on an Otronicon panel to discuss “A Day in the Life of a Tech Professional”

A year of experiencing the outside world via digital devices has demonstrated there’s more to interactive technology than mere fun and games, and that increasing diversity in the STEM fields is key to ensuring an equitable future. So I’m grateful that Otronicon 2021 — the Orlando Science Center’s annual electronic innovation expo, held in person and online Feb. 12-15 — included a Tech Connect panel discussion hosted by Black Orlando Tech (blackorlandotech.org) on “A Day in the Life of a Tech Professional,” which focused on encouraging women and people of color to pursue science careers. Here are a few highlights from the 75-minute discussion moderated by BOT communications chair Kelda Senior, including some unexpected connections between high tech and the arts.

AYESHA BENJAMIN, ELECTRONIC ARTS SENIOR ENTERPRISE SECURITY IT PRODUCT MANAGER Ever since I was young, when I was in the fourth grade, I knew I wanted to get into computers. Specifically, I wanted to be a computer programmer. I wanted to create video games to help kids tell the difference between verbs and adverbs and nouns and pronouns. I was a nerd gamer at such a young age. … I went straight into the computer field and I have not looked back. I have not developed any video games. I think after a few years of being in the IT field and information security, I sort of lost the love for that; it wasn’t what I expected it to be when I was just in the fourth grade. It’s difficult for anyone, I think, to put your career in someone else’s hands, and we have to think of self-advocacy as a form of love. … I really just went out there and started having one-on-one meet-

ings at work. I started reaching out on LinkedIn, reading articles from individuals who were in my field, commenting on their articles [and] reaching out. A few years ago, I volunteered at the Black Hat Defcon conference, which is a conference for hackers [that] went on for an entire week, and I was the only woman. I was also the only Black person as well, but I established relationships with so many different individuals who were there [from] all over the U.S., and they’re also all in cybersecurity as well, so I extended my reach.

GABE PEREZ, ADVENT HEALTH CERTIFIED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY/ SECURITY PROFESSIONAL I got into college and I always thought that I wanted to do something STEM related. I saw Interstellar, and then I had an epiphany moment. I said, “I want to find a way to be somebody who’s doing something like that. I don’t really know how to get there, but I need to find a way to get there.” So I applied to UCF to actually go back for another bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, and I moved up here to Orlando. I ended up getting a master’s degree in Public Administration [and] then COVID happened. So I was like, this is the perfect time to just kick into gear and do what I have been saying that I wanted to do for so long. And so I said, “I’m going to teach myself to program, I’m going to teach myself to code.” I started, you know, hunkered down; I got some certifications all throughout last year. I was teaching myself as much as I could, and I ended up finding a job.

DR. MAYA BYFIELD, PHENOMENAL STEM(IST) FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR As a Black woman, it was very difficult to see my way through. I did have family members as role models; there are a lot of physicians in my family, so there was a high expectation that I would get education, but not in tech, not STEM, not science. My high school teacher was crucial; she’s an excellent teacher of high school biology [and] I knew I wanted

to excel, and I watched her. As a Black woman, I think that she could have done something else, but because of the barriers of entry for her she was teaching high school. So I saw her, and she empowered me. I’m glad that so many people accomplish their goals in spite of [obstacles], but actually I’m kind of tired of those stories. So many, especially people of color, desire to be scientists [or] engineers, and there’s roadblocks in their education process. I want them to see end goals, to say, “Yes, this person made it,” so when the tough times come, they don’t believe that this is not for them.

WILLIAM LITTLE, RETIRED NASA COMPUTER SCIENTIST I got my undergraduate, my first undergraduate degree, in fine art from University of South Florida, and my second degree in English literature from the University of South Florida. After I graduated from USF the second time, I was completely out of money. I got a job working as a commercial artist in a screen print shop designing T-shirts and bumper stickers. One thing I learned in that experience was that the romantic notion of the starving artist is romantic to everyone except for the starving artist. So I went and told my parents that I wanted to go back to school and get a marketable degree so bad I could taste it. … I came back to Orlando from Tampa and got enrolled in this little backwater school out here at the east end of town called UCF in 1981. The big thing I think that really shaped my thinking from very early was that my dad was reading science fiction from the Golden Age, and when he’d he buy a paperback science fiction novel, he’d give it to me. I was in elementary school and I was reading this stuff; when I was growing up, my ABC’s were [Isaac] Asimov, [Ray] Bradbury and [Arthur C.] Clarke. That kind of literature on my young impressionable mind gave me a sense of what’s possible, and what artforms can do to inform and create reality. I mean, come on folks, let’s get this straight.

BEYTI MEDITERRANEAN GRILL 870 State Road 436, Casselberry 321-972-2000 beytifl.com $$

BEYTI AND SWITCH

PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT

Yalcin Aykin, owner of Beyti Mediterranean Grill, left Altamonte to bring his Turkish delights to Casselberry BY FAIYAZ KARA

T

he canvas print of the Maiden’s Tower at the entrance of Casselberry’s Beyti Mediterranean Grill may hang askance, but don’t let it fool you. Like the iconic island landmark at the entrance of the Bosphorus Strait, the Turkish food at this Casselberry restaurant is straight-up impressive. Much of it is prepped and cooked by Yalcin Aykin, the man behind the justifiably applauded, and now-shuttered, Turkish Bar & Grill. The dishes at that Altamonte Springs restaurant were eye-rollingly good simply because the 65-year-old Aykin is one helluva cook, and not one to phone it in with premade ingredients and recipe shortcuts. Sure, setting up shop in the old Rolando’s Cuban Restaurant space may seem like a step down compared to the old Altamonte venue, but try and look past all that. If you’re dining inside the spacious (and oft empty) restaurant, have a seat, order the sesamespecked lavash ($3.99) and rip shreds of the doughy dirigible into such dips as the fiery ezme ($4.99), sauteed eggplant ($4.99) or creamy haydari ($4.99), a garlicky yogurt

blended with walnuts. And if you’re getting takeout, do the same. No stale flavors; no dull visuals; no regrets. I do regret, however, not going to the famed Beyti restaurant in Istanbul when I was there three years ago. It’s where the beyti kebab — loins of lamb wrapped in lamb fat, then charcoal-grilled — originated. Thing is, this version isn’t really served anywhere else. In fact, at most Turkish restaurants around the world, including this one, beyti kebab ($11.99) amounts to ground seasoned lamb rolled in thin lavash, cut into pieces, then slathered in tomato sauce and yogurt. It’s fine, not my favorite, but just once I’d like to see a riff on the original version served at a Turkish restaurant. That said, the other marinated meat wonders Aykin fashions are so worth the splurge.

We ordered shish kebab ($12.99), lamb chops ($15.99) and ground chicken adana ($11.99), which Aykin served to us on a large chopping board along with pickled red cabbage, a cucumber-tomato-onion salad and French fries. He even threw in cubes of chicken shish kebab and a side of crispy rice and, really, it was hard picking a favorite. The glorious char on the chops may have edged it over the others, but the plush beef and the spiced adana got us caveman-ravenous. The chicken adana, BTW, makes a fine lunch wrap ($8.99), as does the gyro ($8.99) with its mix of lamb and beef. Other lunchtime (and appetizer) considerations: lahmacun ($9.99), a thin, crackly flatbread topped with seasoned ground beef, peppers, parsley, tomatoes and onions; and pide ($11.99), Turkey’s answer to “Name a cheesy, doughy, boat-shaped pastry that tastes like pizza.” My dining comrade proclaimed his allegiance to pide over pizza after sinking his teeth into one draped with sucuk, or Turkish sausage. Holds up great the following day, too. But Aykin happens to be fairly accomplished in the sweets department as well — try his superb kunefe ($6.99) or kemalpasa ($5.99), cheesy cookie balls soaked in a sweet syrup. He brought out a sample for me to try while I waited for takeout during an evening run, along with some Turkish tea. What can I say? The man is one of the most gracious restaurateurs you’ll meet. He loves to cook, and he loves to feed, so don’t be surprised if you leave Beyti feeling like a stuffed turkey. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell premieres Monday on Netflix PHOTO COURTESY NETFLIX

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider PREMIERES WEDNESDAY:

PREMIERES FRIDAY:

Ginny & Georgia — From White Oleander to Mom, nothing snags that coveted youth-viewer demographic like reassuring them they’re more mature and centered than their mother. The proud tradition of snot-nosed disrespect continues with Ginny & Georgia, a new series whose first 10 episodes find a 15-year-old coping with her 30-year-old mom’s inadequacies when they move to a New England town. Complicating things, Ginny’s new friends are beguiled by her mother’s blond-haired hotness, and her weed habit, and her … you know what? I’m realizing I’m team Georgia all the way here. (Netflix)

Bigfoot Family — Yes, this is what you’ve been reduced to: contemplating watching the sequel to a French/Belgian animated flick from three years ago that you don’t even remember. The follow-up to Son of Bigfoot finds two generations of Sasquatches fighting to save a nature preserve. Hey, what have you got to lose except an evening, right? It’s just too bad the movie isn’t being screened under the title it carried when it was released in theaters in Europe last summer: Bigfoot Superstar. Because that sounds like something Todd Haynes would get up to with puppets. (Netflix)

PREMIERES THURSDAY:

Crazy About Her — In this Spanish-made comedy, a guy gets himself committed to a psychiatric hospital so he can be closer to a patient he just had a one-night stand with. Just what we all needed: a cross between One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Joey Ramone’s dating history. (Netflix)

The Dark and the Wicked — Supernatural evil comes to the fore when a pair of adult siblings arrive at their parents’ farm to be present for the death of their father. Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com calls the film “The Discount Shining”; he also notes the recurrence of the phrase “I don’t want to talk about it” on the dialogue track, which makes me hope former Orlando mayoral candidate Pat Greene sues for unauthorized appropriation of his classic campaign slogan. Yeah, I got a loooong memory for this kind of shit. (Shudder) Punky Brewster — I really don’t understand what the big deal is about a Saved by the Bell-like revival of Punky Brewster: I mean, we already got to see the Punkster all grown up for years on The Big Bang Theory. Oh, wait! That’s Blossom I’m thinking of. My bad. Anyway, if I can keep my ’80s sitcom dreck straight for a minute, I’ll just mention that the new series finds Punky a single mother of three … and perhaps a fourth, when she meets an orphan who reminds her a lot of her former self. Hopefully, she can get some parenting help from whatever’s become of Jordan Catalano. (Oh, that isn’t right either, is it?) (Peacock)

Tom & Jerry — That irrepressible scamp Jerry is causing havoc in a hotel on the eve of a big wedding, forcing the owners to turn to Tom for some natural extermination in this feature-length animation/liveaction hybrid. Director Tim Story is now known to history as the guy who made only the second- and third-shittiest Fantastic Four flicks, so who knows what greatness awaits? (HBO Max)

PREMIERES MONDAY: Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell — The late Biggie Smalls’ mother, Voletta Wallace, and his old pal Sean Combs are among the executive producers of a documentary portrait that you just know is going to be completely clear-eyed and balanced about everything that went down in the life of ol’ Notorious. Next month: Suge Knight tells his side of the story in The Aliens Shot First. (Netflix) orlandoweekly.com

BY B AO L E - H U U TERRY CAUDILL, AKA 3D BOY | PHOTO BY WILLIAM POWELL AND LIVIA BLUMA

If you’re not already following

Orlando rapper E-Turn on Instagram (@eturnmusic), now would be the time to hip-hop on that train. This month, the Fake Four-signed MC launched a new weekly series called “Sunday Sixteen.” Each weekend, she flexes both her virtuosity and versatility by dropping 16 hot bars over beats by different producers. It’s a dazzling weekly shot of her signature vocal acrobatics in under 60 seconds flat.

3D Boy’s new three-song solo EP is a tuneful, exuberant hat trick that merges 1990s-inspired indie rock with sweet, sweet fuzz

LOCAL RELEASES

From his exceptional work in bands like Flashlights and Waxed, Terry Caudill is one of Orlando’s best, though unheralded, songwriters. He just dropped another reminder of this with a recent EP as his solo venture 3D Boy. The threesong I Love You is a tuneful, exuberant hat trick that merges 1990s-inspired indie rock with sweet, sweet fuzz. It’s a trifecta that rocks at the corner of Crocodiles and Superchunk, and it’s available as a nameyour-price download on Bandcamp. Since emerging a couple of years ago, Central Florida’s Ivy Hollivana has really put in the work to hone her thoroughly modern aesthetic, and now she’s got a fine new EP to show for it. The four-song Equinox is an impressive opus of sparkle, mood and beats. Featuring production by Kavari, it’s some of her most crafted, incisive work yet and is a shining crystallization of her progressive, left-field electro-pop vision. Equinox is available on Bandcamp, but if you decide to buy, do it directly through her website (ivyhollivana. com) so every penny goes to this artist. Corvus, Incorporated is the ambitious collaborative musical project anchored by Real Radio 104.1-FM personalities Fritz

and Sabrina that invites both musicians and non-musicians to co-create with them. Orlando music scenesters will know Fritz as Jeff Ilgenfritz, the restless musical polymath with deep cred stretching back to the mid-2000s in canonical Orlando acts like Mumpsy and the Heathens. Just released last week and now streaming on Spotify, Corvus, Incorporated’s new three-song EP (as) You Wish is a diverse, bright bundle of coed indie pop. Of particular note, though, is that this fourth release is the first one to feature a song not cowritten by either of the principals. Instead, “Just So You Won’t Go” is a track written by Nick Sprysenski (of distinguished 2000s acts the Punching Contest and Crutch and the Giant Junshi) back in 2008 for a fundraising compilation to help with medical expenses for Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax. Although shelved after Gygax died, that demo has been unearthed, newly produced with Ilgenfritz and is now finally seeing daylight as part of this Corvus, Incorporated release. Just to round out the star-studded list of historical Orlando music names here,

the EP is being put out by Post Records, the 2000s local “it” label and mini-scene from which Ilgenfritz sprang.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

If you go out, respect everyone’s distance, for all our sakes. Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser: This big country bill pairs a true-blue neotraditionalist (Johnson) and a certified country-pop hitmaker currently remaking himself into an artist of substance (Houser). Their co-headlining Cadillac Country Tour features both figures on stage together. Since the show will be acoustic and heavy on exchange between the two longtime friends, expect these country songs to ring with an especially personal edge. The onsite bars better double up on the whiskey. As part of the Frontyard Festival, this concert is outdoors with seating in distanced pods where you can have food and drink delivered. (7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, $45$75) Sanford Porchfest: The annual and innovatively folksy music festival is back for its fourth edition. Across a walkable, eight-block residential stretch just off the main strip of Historic Downtown Sanford, the community event this year features 12 porches of live music showcasing 50 acts, including prime local names like Hannah Harber, Thomas Wynn, Jordan Foley, Oak Hill Drifters, Cat Ridgeway & the Tourists and Beemo. To enhance social distancing and pedestrian safety, each festival block will be closed to cars. It’s a full, free and lively afternoon that’s become a vibrant new Sanford tradition.

“DE-KINKED”

I know you and other sexperts say that kinks are ingrained and not something you can get rid of, but mine have all vanished! Ever since I started on antidepressants my relationship with my body and how it reacts to pain, both physical and mental, has completely changed. I used to love getting bit and spanked and beat black and blue, but now all that just hurts. I used to love getting humiliated and spit on, commanded to do dirty things, but none of that holds much appeal anywhere. So what gives? Were these even kinks in the first place if they could vanish so easily with one little pill? Or were these coping mechanisms for emotional problems I no longer have? I know my libido is suppressed due to the meds. Did my kinks just follow my libido out the door? The Missing Kink Antidepressants showed your kinks the door at the same time they showed your libido the door. Zooming out for a second: While some people find that consensual BDSM helps them cope with trauma and/or process their emotional problems — or work through the kind of traumas that create emotional problems — many people into BDSM have no significant history of sexual trauma, or whatever trauma(s) they may have suffered, sexual or otherwise, didn’t create or shape their kinks. And while consensual BDSM can provide therapeutic benefits to a person who 1) has a history of trauma and 2) has an interest in kink — by making them feel in control of their own bodies (even if they’re temporarily ceding that control) — not everyone who’s kinky can point to a traumatic event at the root of their kinks. And kinky people shouldn’t have to cite trauma to justify the pleasure they find in getting bit, spanked, beaten, bruised, bound, etc. “It’s become an oft-repeated narrative of many a wellness think piece that BDSM and freaky fetishes are actually OK because they help people deal with their traumatic past,” as the writer, comedian and self-described “Leatherdyke Muppet” Chingy Nea wrote in a recent essay about the creeping pathologizing of kink. “What gets you off is not inherently born of trauma or sign of dysfunction, nor does it require suffering to validate it. Being turned on by weird fucked-up things you want to do with another consenting adult is acceptable simply because it’s hot and sexy and fun.” OK, TMK, back to your question: 40

Antidepressants — one little pill that can relieve mental anguish and disappear a libido at the same time — can’t cure kinks but they can suppress them. I mean, think about it … if you’re not horny right now because of the antidepressants … you’re not going to be horny for the things that get you off when you are horny … because you’re not horny … because the antidepressants. If you miss your libido — and if you miss all the hot and sexy and fun and fucked-up things you used to enjoy with other consenting adults — work with your doctor to find a different med that relieves your depression without tanking your libido, TMK, or a different dosage of the med you’re currently on that provides you with emotional benefits without depriving you of your libido and the kinks that come bundled with it. Follow Chingy Nea on Twitter for more @thegaychingy. I’m a longtime reader who appreciates the candor and insight you’ve offered since, what, the 1990s! Yeesh. With that in mind, I have a piece of advice I’d like to share with your readers. I’m a 56-year-old gay man. From my 20s though my 40s, I was as sexually active as often as it was possible for me to be. I loved sex and had it every chance I got. It made me feel alive! Then just as I was about to enter my 50s, I started to have erection problems. I could still come, but a spongy dick is egodeflating. Not wanting to accept what was going on, I talked to my doctor about it. I’ve tried Levitra, Cialis and now Viagra, as well as a host of cock rings. Not much of anything seems to help. I miss my sex life and I miss the confidence that came with it. I didn’t expect this, nor did I plan for it. It’s a lonely feeling. That’s why I think it’s important for your readers to understand the following: Have all the sex you want while you can so long as you’re not hurting anyone or putting anyone at risk! Do this as often as you want to. Don’t put those sexual fantasies on the back burner. Don’t stay in a relationship that stifles you sexually! You owe it to yourself to experience what you want to experience today. Don’t take tomorrow for granted as tomorrow might have something else in store for you. Guy’s Hard Off Seems Terminal Good advice — don’t screw tomorrow what you can screw today — and I’m glad you didn’t pass on any of the opportunities that came your way back when you could still

“obtain and maintain” a fully erect cock. But I worry you may be passing on all the sexual opportunities that are still available to you. Even if the rock-hard erections of your youth and early middle age are gone forever, GHOST, you can still give and receive pleasure. You can suck a cock, you can get your ass fucked, you can fist and be fisted. And not every gay dude into daddies wants to be plowed by his hot daddy. Lots of gay guys wanna be orally serviced by hot daddies, and lots of gay guys love having their holes eaten and stretched with big toys and fists. You can be a good, giving and game partner and still have tons of hot and fulfilling sex without ever pulling your dick out. Which is not to say you shouldn’t pull your dick out — you should. But if you’re feeling self-conscious about your cock, GHOST, seek out guys who aren’t looking for sexual experiences that require a hard dick, and you’ll feel less inhibited about pulling your dick out and getting yourself off as you get them off. You already took your own advice, GHOST, now you need to take mine: Stop grieving what you’ve lost and get out there enjoy what you’ve still got. I read this in a recent column of yours: “If your parents are still fucking each other that means your parents still like each other.” Not always, Dan. My father fucked my mother daily while he was having an affair with another woman. As soon as the other woman’s husband died of cancer, my father left my mother. Affair aside, he didn’t much like my mother, which was evident from the way he treated her and not just from the affair. Maybe he wanted to keep her in place until he could leave, maybe he had a monstrous sex drive, I don’t know. But he didn’t like her. My Asshole Dad Thank you for writing in, MAD, and you’re absolutely right: A lot of people — and not just married people — fuck people they don’t like. And some people are only nice to their spouses when they want sex and resume neglecting their spouses and/ or treating them like shit immediately after they get sex. I obviously needed to qualify that statement, MAD and if I had to do it over again I’d go with this: “If your parents are still fucking each other, that’s a pretty good sign they might still like each other.” mail@savagelove.net
