André Courrèges Autumn/Winter (1994)

[armoricaroyalty]

...the turning point came in 1994, when Uspanian tabloid Concordia broke the story of the Crown Prince's affair with Armorican-Uspanian actress and model Anita Garcia. The Armorican public loves a wronged woman, and news of the affair inspired a massive public outpouring of support for the Duchess of Arbor. By the end of 1994, her approval rating had climbed to 73%, the highest ever recorded for any member of the Armorican royal family....Her newfound popularity came not at the expense of her husband, whose status as heir protected him from the worst of the blacklash, but at that of his 23-year-old mistress. Anita was branded as a homewrecker in the popular press and accused of leveraging the affair to promote her own image... (from Mother of Pearl: Inside the Lives of Armorica's Royal Women, Kristina Greene, 2002.)

Title: Les Roseaux Sauvages (1994)

a.k.a: WILD REEDS

Dir: André Téchiné

Cast: Élodie Bouchez, Gaël Morel, Stéphane Rideau, Frédéric Gorky.

Teens—Maïte (Bouchez) & François (Morel) are good friends living in a sleepy village in 1962, Southern France, just as the Algerian war is ending.

François becomes aware that he’s developed feelings for his gorgeous, schoolmate, Serge (Rideau) who is more interested in Maïte—who has no interest in Serge—preferring to lock political/intellectual horns with their other friend, Henri (Gorny).

Their friendship is soon frothed with tension of all sorts, especially for the smitten François.

{ Stéphane Rideau—who forged his career, playing gay, performs well, in this film }

Godflesh, "Crush my Soul" (1994)

Directed by famed surrealist artist and photographer Andres Serrano, the music video for "Crush my Soul" featured many recurring themes in Serrano's work, including Catholic imagery, self-mutilation (featuring extreme scenes from performance artist Bob Flanigan), and suggestions of animal cruelty, culminating in a final scene in which Justin Broadrick is covered in actual cattle blood.

The initial cut of the music video was too graphic to air on MTV, and it took several edits in order for the video to be deemed viewable on their late-night 120 Minutes block. Around this time, Broadrick developed a friendship with Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett. Broadrick showed Hammett the unedited version of "Crush my Soul", which allegedly inspired Hammett to consult Serrano to design the cover art for Metallica's albums Load and Reload.

The Astrology of : Tupac Shakur

Tupac Shakur is one of the most influential and important Black Artist to ever live, who expressed himself through different mediums : Poetry, Music, and Acting. As a man, he stood for justice and self-respect, and was seen as a revolutionary—his songs touched on many social issues. Even 27 years after his death, Tupac can still be seen as a major role-model for troubled youths.

Sadly, we don’t have a specific birth time for him (I’d still say he was a Capricorn Ascendant), so we’ll just have to focus on the aspects he had.

☄️Mercury strongly trining Mars—Mercury being the planet of communication and problem solving is being actively supported by Mars, which is the planet of action and defense. If you watch any of his interviews, he spoke with the utmost passion and confidence (see : Much Music interview). He was able to stand up for himself and other people (Mars in Aquarius) with his words.

🗣️A Gemini Stellium (Venus, Mercury, & Sun)—Its funny that he was aware of his Gemini traits so much. Geminis like to interact with everything around them. Tupac wrote poetry, he wrote scripts, he was a RAPPER, and he could talk your head off if he wanted to. Also, many Geminis are rappers (ex : Andre 3000, Kanye (Ye) West, Lauryn Hill, Kendrick Lamar).

☀️Sun squaring Pluto—When the Sun (our light, what we are interested in, what we revolve our personalities around) squares Pluto (power, addictions, what controls us, or what we have control over), it shows that a person feels as if they are overpowered by something. Tupac felt like he was institutionalized and there was always somebody out there to get him. Growing up a Black man in America was a huge burden for him—he even was a victim of police brutality in 1991, got shot and robbed in November of 1994, and infamously, died in a drive-by shooting in 1996.

🌙Moon sextile Venus—The Moon can give insight into our relationship with not just our Mothers, but with all Women in general, while Venus shows us how affectionate, and tactful we can be. When the Moon comes in good contact with Venus, we see somebody that is very charming, nice, and affectionate. Tupac wrote meaningful songs about women, which included : “Brenda’s Got a Baby”, “Dear Mama”, and “Keep Ya Head Up”.

☁️Moon trining Neptune—Moon also shows us how we find emotional comfort and when its in good contact with Neptune, we see a person that finds emotional comfort in creativity and spirituality, so I think this aspect adds to his creativity.

💫Mars conjunct North Node in Aquarius—I think Aquarius is the sign/energy where we start including other people in our “structures”. This is where we start becoming aware of other people’s problems, this is where we start philanthropy, etc. Tupac was socially aware—we know this through songs and interviews. I think Mars conjunct NN in Aquarius is the ultimate aspect of an Activist.

54 Years of Pain (Part 1)

Yeah, there's good parts of this long trek with the Vancouver Canucks

...however...

Most of that trek has been filled with viewings of inconsistency and lack of motivation from the players that have come through here. Certainly there were bright spots - the Canucks had three of them, the 1982 Run (when I was 11 turning 12), 1994 Run (23 turning 24); and the 2011 Run (40 turning 41). Of course the fact that both the 1994 and 2011 runs were punctuated by riots was not a highlight, in fact, it was an absolute embarrassment not only to the City of Vancouver but to its fanbase.

Now as a 53 year old male (turning 54 in another year) this is definitely not a player-simp blog (Oh, god, here I am using millennial speak) - but hey most of the people writing on Tumblr are millennials. There's very few of us Gen X'rs or Boomers writing on social media - they either mostly stick to Facebook - which has become unpopular as a result. I'm one of probably very few Gen X'rs who actually take the time to have a Tumblr blog.

So what I'm going to do here is give you a synopsis of my experience with the Vancouver Canucks as a long-time fan and let you appreciate some of my memories of being a long-standing fan of this franchise. Yes, I'm freakin' old.

The Big Irishman - good ol' Pat Quinn #3 playing versus the LA Kings.

So my journey with the Canucks (equal in age) has been from the time of my birth, where I was living in what would in 1978 become the heart of the enemy (when the Edmonton Oilers came to town). Back when I was born and for the first seven years, Edmonton did not have an NHL hockey team. So my search took me to the West Coast or Vancouver where the Canucks had been granted an NHL franchise. Of course for the first two years of my life, I was blissfully unaware of NHL hockey, since I was in diapers. But eventually, I would stumble across hockey and sit enthralled in front of a TV that my dad had bought. During the course of the news in which snippets of the war in Viet Nam (the dying years of the war leading up to the withdrawal of US forces from Saigon).

Orland Kurtenbach was our first captain of the Vancouver Canucks.

and here he was with our former Captain Bo Horvat which we traded to the New York Islanders. He's standing to the right and I'm glad after 54 years, he's still with us.

In '76, I moved from what would two years later be Oiler...hell... to Maple Ridge in British Columbia, smack dab in the heart of Canucks territory. And well...I was school-age (6 years old and in grade one). My former classmates at St. Timothy Elementary School are probably die-hard Edmonton Oilers fans. Sorry, classmates... I hate the Oilers. Canucks fan through and through.

Good ol' Harold Snepts was one of the members of the Vancouver Canucks when I moved to Canuck fandom territory in 76. and yeah, he didn't have that famous brush mustache of his that he would later sport in years since.

Harold was clean-shaven. And one of our toughest defenseman. He could sure throw that body around. We miss guys like that and hope that we got someone like that in our newest d-man Nikita Zadorov.

Harold as we would later know him. The big mustache.

Harold now, in Canucks in Cars with our now current captain Quinn Hughes. Still got the mustache but it's sprinkled with grey.

Our goalie was Cesare Maniago.

Our top goal scorer was a guy named Rick Blight.

And man did I love those away uniforms (the old stick in rink). And yes. nowadays, the dark colored jerseys are the home jerseys, but back in those days, they were the away jerseys. I'm glad they made the switch.

One of the other guys who hit the 20+ goal mark was Don Lever who became captain in 1977 taking over from Chris Oddleifsson who only held the position for an year in '76-77 and Andre Boudrias who held it during 75-76.

Kevin McCarthy would take over from him in 79-80.

But Don would be captain during the change over from the stick-in-rink to the Hallowe'en V's. God, they were goddawful.

But they still hold a special place in my heart, just for the jersey's sheer ugliness.

The were absolutely goddawful.

Tony Tanti, one of our Vancouver favourites would wear this jersey in 1980.

He would be one of those long-time Canucks from 1980 all the way to 1989 when he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Canucks first bright spot in this long, painful growth process was the Cinderella year of 1982. Back then the play-off format was a best of five, not the familiar best of 7 that we now have.

Vancouver swept Calgary in 3 games, then went onto play the LA Kings which they beat 4 games to 1. In the Campbell Conference finals they would meet the Chicago Blackhawks which were headlined by Denis Savard, Daryl Sutter, and Tony Esposito - so Chicago was a powerhouse back then. Yet, the Canucks seemingly on a roll steamrolled the Blackhawks 4-1. The wheels came off the wagon when they came up against the New York Islanders and Mike Bossy. The Canucks were swept in four and the New York Islanders one their second of 4 straight Stanley Cups. It was a heart-breaking loss for the Canucks as well as this fan who had hoped that the Canucks would at least give the New York Islanders some push-back.

It would be a long 12 years before the Canucks got a look at the Stanley Cup again.

The 1982 Stanley Cup Finals would be the swan-song for Canucks Captain Kevin McCarthy which would be watched from the pressbox as McCarthy broke his ankle late in the season and would relinquish his captaincy to Stan Smyl who would captain the team to the Cup finals.

McCarthy would later be dealt to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Stan Smyl would be the first to have his jersey retired as he became one of the longest running captains of the Vancouver Canucks.

Steamer as he was affectionately known would go on to wear most of the jersey changes that happened during the 80s the way up to his retirement.

The next captain of the Canucks, Trevor Linden who was drafted in 1988 at number 2 and became the captain in 1990 (the youngest Canucks Captain to ever receive the captaincy) also wore the jersey with the V on the shoulders.

He also wore the orange spaghetti plate (downwards skate)

When he became captain the jerseys changed to yellow, red and white or yellow, red and black.

In 1989 they would draft in the sixth round a young Russian phenom named Pavel Bure. But their first round draft pick Jason Herter ended up only playing 1 game in the NHL after he was traded to the New York Islanders and became a career IHL'r

Evidently the draft pick was a complete bust. But at least he had a career in the minors and later a career coaching at Western Michigan.

The yellow/red/black/white were the jerseys that they wore during the 1994 Stanley Cup run. Again they would fall short after beating Calgary who had beaten them the year before being forced into a 7 game series which they won 4 games to 3, going into the Conference semifinals exhausted where they would meet up with the Dallas Stars which they would beat 4-1. In this there was a nasty altercation between Pavel Bure and Shane Churla where the former viciously elbowed Churla after Churla dogged him all throughout the series tying him up and ragdolling him. Finally Bure got sick and tired of it and cold-cocked him knocking Churla unconscious.

Vancouver was on a roll and they went on to steamroll Toronto 4-1 as well. Greg Adams would score the winning goal in Game 5 and the stage was set for the Stanley Cup finals where they would meet the Messier-led Rangers.

(to be continued in Part 2)
