Another favorite gig from years gone by, these podcast icons for Tony Thaxton's Bizarre Albums podcast. The pink and gray one is based on a stereo test LP from the early 1960s, the others are midcentury label-centric 45 sleeves.

I'll tell you one thing, I'm sick to death of people worrying about "innocent people" in the Epstein files. If you're jetting off to a billionaire's private island for a fancy party where teenage girls are passed around like cake, you are way far away from "innocent."

Anyway, I hope this chapter of American history ends soon.

Kirk's Turning Point USA was funded by wealthy asshole Bill Montgomery, who owned the libs by dying of COVID in 2020. Bill O'Reilly was plucked from newsmagazine obscurity to spread hate on Fox by Rupert Murdoch, Milo was a puppet for Andrew Breitbart, and on and on and on.

and dear departed Charlie Kirk, were ALL just random assholes who had failed at life and were approached by rich men to push hate in the mass media, because it serves their goals of acquiring wealth and maintaining power.

I bring this up because it shows that all of these guys -- Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Milo Yiannapolis, Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, Curtis Yarvin --

He was shot to death in front of a laundromat, not by a liberal, a Black, a Jew or an intellectual, but by a guy he owed money to.

He eventually got enough backing to run for governor of Virginia, but he didn't do very well in the election. He did, however, in his brief run, invent Holocaust denial and the term "White Power."

That's why your Stephen Millers and Elon Musks are always happy to throw their white-supremacist hand gestures around: because it makes rich people send in money.

That's why he insisted on wearing it, displaying it, festooning his "hate bus" (because he had a "hate bus") with it. He knew that it filled decent people with blinding rage, and that that would make rich people send him more money.

He insisted on putting the swastika front and center in all his appearances. He knew the symbol was an obscenity and an affront to everything the world went through for over a decade.

If the university refused to allow him to march, so much the better -- he could cry about how liberals hate free speech and collect even more money from his donors. If he were alive today, the New York Times would say "George Lincoln Rockwell does politics the right way."

If, however, he marched onto a university campus, the liberals would be required to let him speak in the interest of free expression and a robust exchange of ideas. If the rally went well, he'd get money in the mail from rich people.

if he staged a rally in a city square, at a time when there were 35-year-olds in the US with Auschwitz tattoos on their arms, he would get beaten up by non-Nazis.

What he found was that, every time he staged one of these provocations, rich people sent him money. He stuck to university campuses because that was the only place he was safe.

In order to make money being a bigot, George Lincoln Rockwell went to -- what's this? -- university campuses, where he staged rallies and "events" and demanded to debate Blacks and Jews and intellectuals.

For Himmler it was Wagner, for MAGA it's the mythical 1950s, when everyone agreed that white people were pretty awesome and those who didn't agree were denied their rights and lynched and sprayed with fire hoses and so forth.

Like all professional bigots, he'd failed at everything else in life, and so, like all Nazis, took refuge in a childhood fairy tale about how he was secretly a member of a master race that was destined to rule over all mankind.

But he was the first person in the United States to say "Hey, you know what? I'm a Nazi, and being a Nazi is a good thing."
Why did he do it? Because that's where the money was.

I've been thinking a lot recently about George Lincoln Rockwell. He was the founder of the American Nazi Party, which sounds really scary until you realize it was pretty much just him and a bunch of his friends.

THE ENTIRE WORLD: Kidnapping and raping children is wrong!
NOAM CHOMSKY: But surely exceptions can be made for intellectuals?

Marxism for sale to the highest bidder, even if that bidder is a child molester.

I was given the one image, an overexposed shot of him smoking and displaying his neck tattoo, which, helpfully, reads "NECK." The "torn newspaper" treatment was the cover chosen, and the back cover and spine were designed to match that.

Another vintage assignment: the cover for a book about guitarist James Wilsey, who played bass for The Avengers and lead guitar for Chris Isaak and died of mass organ failure in 2018.

The fact that Noam Chomsky, one of the most outspoken critics of capitalism still living, was a big fan of Epstein, even after his conviction, just shows you that money ALWAYS sides with money. There are no exceptions.

One of my favorite commissions, a wedding program designed to look like an 1880s Beadle's Dime Novel. The landscape, plant life, pose, costumes and covered wagon were all part of the directive. A really complicated project, but it came together well!
