"Kerouac invented the term “Beat” to describe a part of his generation that discarded many traditional values and told people to explore their inner selves to find freedom and individualism. He encouraged his peers to avoid the path laid out for them by the “squares” who ran business, government, and religion in favor of living a life of self-imposed poverty and enjoying the freedom that lifestyle opened up."

(January 21, 2010 - Woodstock, NY) - Radio Woodstock and guitarist Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule, The Allman Brothers Band, The Dead) are proud to announce that the Mountain Jam Music Festival (www.mountainjam.com) will return to Hunter, NY from Friday, June 4th-Sunday, June 6th, 2010.
Gov't Mule will anchor the multi-band bill for the sixth year in a row with two headlining performances. Haynes' fellow Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks will introduce a new band featuring his wife, singer Susan Tedeschi, to Mountain Jam. The new group will feature an original mixture of rock, soul, blues and roots songs by Trucks and Tedeschi, both of whom received 2010 Grammy Award nominations. Mountain Jam favorites Michael Franti & Spearhead, hot off the success of their breakthrough song, 'Say Hey (I Love You),' will make an exclusive northeast summer festival appearance with their return to Mountain Jam for a 5th consecutive year.
Mountain Jam's initial lineup also includes many performers who are making their debut at the Festival, including current indie darlings The Avett Brothers, touring behind their major label debut, I and Love and You, Primus bassist Les Claypool, performing a late-night outdoor set on the Mountain, reggae architect Toots and the Maytals, Colorado jamgrass sensations Yonder Mountain String Band, Hassidic reggae star Matisyahu, ALO, Lettuce, Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights, Elmwood and The London Souls.
Building on Mountain Jam's tradition of bringing legendary performers to the Mountain, this year's lineup will feature Traffic guitarist Dave Mason. The author of such classics as 'Feelin' Alright' and 'Sad and Deep As You,' Mason has shared the stage with Gov't Mule and the Allman Brothers Band in recent years. Haynes has also paid tribute to Mason by covering 'Sad and Deep As You' both with the Allman Brothers Band and during his solo sets. Additionally, Dark Star Orchestra will channel the magic of the Grateful Dead in their second Mountain Jam appearance.
Many more bands will be announced in the coming months, with 40 bands to appear on the 4 stages throughout the weekend. In addition to the two main outdoor showcase stages, live music will also be heard on the indoor Colonel's Hall Stage and an outdoor Acoustic Stage.
'We are really honored to be able to present such an amazing array of some of the best live musicians in the world,' said Mountain Jam Founder and Radio Woodstock President, Gary Chetkof. 'The music is and has always been the focus of Mountain Jam, and the artists on our bill will be bringing just the right energy and vibe to our mountaintop. For 3 days people will come together to enjoy the immense beauty of the Mountain, reinvigorate their spirit, and share in the creation of new friendships and experiences.'
Originally conceived as a celebration for Radio Woodstock's 25th anniversary, Mountain Jam has grown into an annual stop for some of the biggest names in live music. Since its 2005 inception, Mountain Jam has hosted the likes of The Allman Brothers Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, Bob Weir & RatDog, Richie Havens, Drive-By Truckers, Dr. Dog, Medeski Martin and Wood, Mike Gordon, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Jackie Greene, G. Love & Special Sauce, Ozomatli, Galactic, Xavier Rudd, Umphrey's McGee, Brett Dennen, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, and Robert Randolph & The Family Band, among many others.
The Hunter Mountain Lodge will provide fans with 24-hour access to both food and indoor bathrooms, while onsite camping and a smorgasbord of nearby hotels and lodges will ensure that all attendees have a wide variety of accommodations. Mountain Jam will once again offer expanded VIP options, and will bring back its highly acclaimed 'Tavern in the Woods' featuring a private bar area and hammocks, as well as a shaded hospitality tent, and a variety of gourmet food and beverages.
Hunter Mountain is located within a short drive from anywhere in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and is considered the unofficial kick-off to the northeast festival season. Fans unable to attend will be able to experience the music as well, thanks to the festival's interactive blog and innovative webcast.

'Just Kids,' by Patti Smith:
"In the summer of 1967, two bohemian-looking 20-year-olds were wandering through New York's Washington Square Park, filled with its usual crowd of students, tourists, drug dealers, chess players and folk singers.
'Oh, take their picture,' said a woman to her husband, eyeing the young couple. 'I think they're artists. They might be somebody someday.' Her husband shrugged. 'They're just kids.'
They were Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe."

Where Three Dreams Cross, London
"Culled from 150 years of photography, this show is nothing less than panoramic. It charts India, Bangladesh and Pakistan's differing paths to modernity through five themes: family, portraiture, performance, politics and the streets. Political and cultural icons such as Gandhi and Satyajit Ray are naturally present. Meanwhile, generic images of monsoon rains and street life are tempered with alternative, personal histories of culture's ebb and flow. In portraits from the 60s, a sari-clad woman poses as a Hollywood heroine, while the dark side of the western hippy invasion is embodied by a washed-out junkie. Alongside creeping change is momentous upheaval like 1971's Indo-Pakistani war, its brutalities recorded in disturbing reportage. Compelling present-day images pit a static rural existence against the world of urban sex workers, climate refugees and those entering the technologically super-charged future.

How Dennis Wheatley sold black magic to Britain
"(Dennis) Wheatley’s identification with the occult – and his famously bad prose style – meant a certain comedy value grew up round his name, albeit affectionate, and it has been there ever since. Still, it was hard work being a national figure; batting back letters from teenagers, lecturing to Church of England clergymen about demonic possession, and even giving his specialist opinion on crimes that might have an occult angle, such as the Charles Manson Family murders.
In fact, Wheatley was getting remarkable mileage out a rather superfcial knowledge of the occult. It was based particularly on the works of the Reverend Montague Summers, along with Grillot de Givry’s Witchcraft, Magic and Alchemy.
In the 1930s, he befriended a number of occultists for his research, notably Summers and Rollo Ahmed, and he treated Aleister Crowley to a slap-up lunch at the Hungaria Restaurant on Regent Street. In later life, he was happy to give the impression of a more protracted acquaintance, but in reality he wasn’t keen to see Crowley again." Sphere: Related Content

Legendary Jefferson Airplane guitarist, Jorma Kaukonen, takes his own bluesy course:

"As a member of the Airplane, (Jorma) Kaukonen played on classic hits like 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit,' while also getting to stretch out musically on the intricate 'Embryonic Journey' and fiery pieces like 'The Last Wall of the Castle.' Of course, he also was front and center at the three landmark festivals of the era -- Monterey, Woodstock and Altamont -- not to mention all those great acid-rock pow-wows at the Fillmore.
On the side, Kaukonen and (Jack) Casady were able to shed the Airplane's pop trappings and go straight to the blues, electric and acoustic, in the acclaimed Hot Tuna. Once personal and drug problems grounded the Airplane in 1972, it became their primary band."
