Sean Howe - Thomas King Forçade - AGENTS OF CHAOS - High Times & the Paranoid End of the 1970sSep 27, 2023Sean Howe joins Ed Opperman to discuss his book, Agents of Chaos, which focusses in on the legendary iconic, revolutionary publication High Times.The life and times of High Times'  enigmatic founder Thomas King Forçade, an underground newspaper editor  and marijuana kingpin who—between police raids, smuggling runs, and  outrageous stunts—battled both the US government and fellow radicals.At  the end of the 1960s, the mysterious Tom Forçade suddenly appeared,  insinuating himself into the top echelons of countercultural politics  and assuming control of the Underground Press Syndicate, a coalition of  newspapers across the country. Weathering government surveillance and  harassment, he embarked on a landmark court battle to obtain White House  press credentials. But his audacious exploits—pieing Congressional  panelists, stealing presidential portraits, and picking fights with  other activists—led to accusations that he was an agent provocateur.As  the era of protest faded and the dark shadows of Watergate spread,  Forçade hoped that marijuana could be the path to cultural and economic  revolution. Bankrolled by drug-dealing profits, High Times would be the Playboy of pot, dragging a once-taboo subject into the mainstream. The magazine  was a travelogue of globe-trotting adventure, a wellspring of news  about “the business,” and an overnight success. But High Times soon threatened to become nothing more than the “hip capitalism”  Forçade had railed against for so long, and he felt his enemies closing  in.Assembled from exclusive interviews, archived correspondences, and declassified documents, Agents of Chaos is a tale of attacks on journalism, disinformation campaigns,  governmental secrecy, corporatism, and political factionalism. Its  triumphs and tragedies mirror the cultural transformations of 1970s  America, wrought by forces that continue to clash in the spaces between  activism and power.------------------Sean Howe is an American journalist and writer. He  is a former editor at Entertainment Weekly and The Criterion Collection.  In 2012, he published the book Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, after  interviewing more than 150 people who worked at or were associated with  Marvel Comics.

Hello, welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions.  On Saturday, April 20th, Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions returned to the esoteric grounds of the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles for a living taping with guest host Will Sheff (Okkervil River) in conversation author Sean Howe, discussing Agents of Chaos: Thomas King Forçade, High Times, and the Paranoid End of the 1970s, book on High Times founder, provocateur, and trickster Thomas King Forçade as part of PRS' Earth Day celebration Plantstock. I am such a big fan of PRS, where we recorded a live talk with Matt Marble on the esoteric influences of Arthur Russell last fall. It's a place that invites inquiry, rewards curiosity, and enjoys the beauty of the unknown.  Which makes it a perfect setting for this talk. Howe's Agents of Chaos is a time machine that transports the reader directly to the chaotic, funky-smelling center of the paranoid 1970s. The result of almost a decade of sleuthing, Howe's fascinating book details the true story of Thomas King Forçade, mysterious founder of High Times Magazine, cannabis kingpin, el supremo of the Underground Press Syndicate, Yippie agitator, known drug smuggler, and possible CIA spook.

Aquarium Drunkard - SIDECAR (TRANSMISSIONS) - Podcast

This week on Transmissions: Camae Ayewa, better known as Moor Mother. As one-half of the Black Quantum Futurism collective, a creative project she founded with Rasheedah Philips, Ayewa has focused her considerable energies on “the manipulation of space-time in order to see into possible futures, and/or collapse space-time into a desired future in order to bring about that future's reality.” As the front-person of the incendiary jazz punk group Irreversible Entanglements, she's let it rip on a series of albums released by International Anthem & Don Giovanni Records. Last year's Protect Your Light found the band moving to the legendary Impulse! Records.   Along the way, she's released records under the Moor Mother banner, like 2021's Black Encyclopedia of the Air and 2022's Jazz Codes. Her latest is The Great Bailout, a record that functions at times like a sonic horror movie, while also possessing tremendous passages of beauty. Joined by guests like Lonnie Holley, Kyle Kidd, and Sistazz of the Nitty Gritty—past Transmissions guest Angel Bat Dawid delivers an absolutely breathtaking clarinet solo out ‘South Sea”—the album finds Moor Mother transmuting jazz, noise, rock, folk, gospel, classical music—melting down genres in a poetic churn. Moor Mother plays history and time like a science fiction story, bending temporal moments in a psychedelic flurry. This conversation flows in similar way. Join us to jump through timelines, ponder the Mandela Effect, and untangle histories with Moor Mother on Transmissions.

This week on Transmissions, author, producer, archivist, and musician Pat Thomas. In the late '80s, he helped take the Paisley Underground overground with his label Heyday Records. Later, he helped bring out reissues by artists like Judee Sill, Sandy Bull, PiL, and more. And as if all that wasn't enough, he's the author of a number of essential counterculture histories, including 2012's Listen, Whitey! The Sights & Sounds of Black Power 1965–1975, 2017's Did It! Jerry Rubin: An American Revolutionary, and most recently, 2023's Material Wealth: Mining the Personal Archive of Allen Ginsberg. As you'll hear at the top of this episode, he was also the first guest we ever asked to be on Transmissions, only host Jason P. Woodbury hadn't quite got the hang of properly recording interviews.

Have you ever wondered how drugs and publishing might intersect in a world of counterculture? Journey with us and guest Sean Howe as we explore the shadowy life of Thomas Forcade, a paradoxical figure of the 60s and 70s counterculture. We shed light on the radical politics of the era and delve into the tension between the counterculture 'heads' and the politicos 'fists.' Together, we unpack how the cocaine trade started to overtake marijuana in 1978, changing the game for everyone involved.As we navigate the labyrinth of Forcade's story, we touch on the paranoia of the time, fueled by the FBI's involvement and the political shifts that marked the late 70s. Marvel Comics' influence on the reconciliation of art and commerce is brought to the forefront, hinting at similarities with today's climate. Moreover, we delve into the intriguing comparison between the drug culture of the psychedelic period and the opioid crisis that followed, offering a fresh perspective on how these historical events shaped the path for future generations.Join us and Sean Howe for a captivating conversation that weaves together history, culture, and politics, offering a unique understanding of a largely unknown figure and his influence on the world as we know it today.

Sean Howe - AGENTS OF CHAOS - Thomas King Forçade, High Times & the Paranoid End of the 1970s2 days agoSean Howe joins Ed Opperman to discuss his book, Agents of Chaos, which focusses in on the legendary iconic, revolutionary publication High Times.The life and times of High Times' enigmatic founder Thomas King Forçade, an underground newspaper editor and marijuana kingpin who—between police raids, smuggling runs, and outrageous stunts—battled both the US government and fellow radicals.At the end of the 1960s, the mysterious Tom Forçade suddenly appeared, insinuating himself into the top echelons of countercultural politics and assuming control of the Underground Press Syndicate, a coalition of newspapers across the country. Weathering government surveillance and harassment, he embarked on a landmark court battle to obtain White House press credentials. But his audacious exploits—pieing Congressional panelists, stealing presidential portraits, and picking fights with other activists—led to accusations that he was an agent provocateur.As the era of protest faded and the dark shadows of Watergate spread, Forçade hoped that marijuana could be the path to cultural and economic revolution. Bankrolled by drug-dealing profits, High Times would be the Playboy of pot, dragging a once-taboo subject into the mainstream. The magazine was a travelogue of globe-trotting adventure, a wellspring of news about “the business,” and an overnight success. But High Times soon threatened to become nothing more than the “hip capitalism” Forçade had railed against for so long, and he felt his enemies closing in.Assembled from exclusive interviews, archived correspondences, and declassified documents, Agents of Chaos is a tale of attacks on journalism, disinformation campaigns, governmental secrecy, corporatism, and political factionalism. Its triumphs and tragedies mirror the cultural transformations of 1970s America, wrought by forces that continue to clash in the spaces between activism and power.------------------Sean Howe is an American journalist and writer. He is a former editor at Entertainment Weekly and The Criterion Collection. In 2012, he published the book Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, after interviewing more than 150 people who worked at or were associated with Marvel Comics.

Philena Franklin is back but she's still on strike with SAG AFTRA so we've got some PUBLIC DOMAIN ZOMBIES for our first of two special HALLOWEEN episodes! First, we have rights-free ghouls invading a Ralph's in Burbank in MESSIAH OF EVIL (1974) from Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, the forgotten Lucasfilm power couple who later brought you HOWARD THE DUCK (1986). After really getting disturbing letters from her artist father, a young woman named Arletty (Marianna Hill) goes to the creepy coastal town of Point Dume to find out what's going on. She finds a polyamorous threesome, strange people gathering to stare at the sea at night, and, yes, flesh-eating zombies with blood streaming from their eyes. Also starring Elisha Cook, Jr., whom Greg calls the greatest film noir patsy of all time, and Royal Dano, Disneyland's voice of Abe Lincoln. Now streaming on Prime, Shudder and just about everywhere else--it's public domain! Next, we have Bela Lugosi himself in WHITE ZOMBIE, widely considered to be the first zombie flick ever. A rich plantation owner wants Bela to put a voodoo spell on the woman he loves, but gets so much more than he bargained for. This movie has some of the creepiest zombies ever and one of Bela's best performances, and a banger of an opening score according to Greg. The best print of White Zombie is streaming Kanopy, a free video streaming service available through participating public libraries. This episode is a bit of long one because we're so happy to have the full crew back again. We open with some talk of the Hollywood strikes, the end of Netflix DVDs by mail, a review of Sean Howe's new book AGENTS OF CHAOS, Cory's encounter with Pat Morita, and so much more.

It had to happen! Superheroes have shaped our shared culture – both popular and political – but where did the idea of the “good superman” come from? How did idealism, power fantasy and radicalism merge so that an outsider generation of young (often Jewish) Americans could transform America?  Join Dorian and Ian on a senses-shattering odyssey that takes in socialist Superman, juvenile delinquents, the polyamorist roots of Wonder Woman, the Nazis (again), the great lost horror comics of the 50s, Stan Lee, how Churchill and FDR inspired Spider-Man… and which one of the X-Men was based on Menachem Begin.  –––––––– Superheroes: A Reading List From Ian: American Comics by Jeremy Dauber. Really comprehensive and full of love for the genre. But maybe a bit too comprehensive. Dauber covers absolute everything, so it can feel a bit too thinly spread. The Ten Cent Plague: The great comic book scare and how it changed America, by David Hajdu. Absolutely masterful retelling of the 50s moral outrage against comics. Impeccably researched, brilliantly written, and full of striking insights. Watchmen by Alan Moore, Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller and All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison. If you were to read these three together, even as a non-comics fan, you would get a really good crash course in the different approaches taken to the genre since the 80s. From Dorian: Supergods by Grant Morrison. One of the all-time great comic-book writers has also the written the most entertaining and provocative history of the superhero. Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe. Essential reading for anyone interested in the people who built the Marvel universe. Howe has all the stories. I've given this book as a gift more than once. All Of The Marvels by Douglas Wolk. The Marvel Universe as explained by somebody who has read all 27,000 comic books. While Howe covers the creators, Wolk digs into the evolution of the characters and ideas. True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee by Abraham Riesman. Juicy and unflinching biography of Mr Marvel. The Comic Book Heroes by Will Jacobs and Gerard Jones. Dated but interesting 1985 encyclopaedia of superheroes. The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepore. New Yorker writer's eye-opening history of the love triangle that gave us Wonder Woman. –––––––– “Even by thinking about superheroes, you're thinking about politics.

Um trabalho minucioso de pesquisa que sacia a curiosidade de fãs e estudiosos, mas também traz detalhes desagradáveis sobre inúmeras figuras amadas pelos leitores. A figura de Stan Lee, por exemplo, fora dos holofotes dos eventos e outras aparições públicas, é associada a certos comportamentos pouco éticos, para dizer a verdade. Tudo, é claro, é descrito através dos depoimentos de outros que conviveram profissionalmente com ele. As famosas brigas e rupturas nas quais Lee foi figura-chave, mais precisamente envolvendo Steve Ditko e Jack Kirby, são explicadas. O polêmico método Marvel e a passagem do bastão editorial a Roy Thomas, pontos importantes na história da editora, também tem seu devido destaque ao longo das páginas. O grande "vilão" da Casa das Ideias, Jim Shooter, colecionando desafetos durante sua gestão editorial, demonstra como a guerra de egos interna prejudicou criativamente o trabalho. Já eram os anos 1980, com a Marvel Comics passando de duas décadas de vida. O livro segue até o estouro dos personagens no cinema, sob o guarda-chuva da Disney. Conversamos brevemente sobre cada fase, dando nossas impressões sobre os acertos e as lambanças durante todas essas décadas. Marvel Comics: A História Secreta rende muita conversa e gera algumas polêmicas. Qual sua opinião sobre a nossa conversa?

Learn everything you ever wanted to know about the history of the business of Marvel Comics! Today we’re interviewing author Sean Howe, author of Marvel Comics the Untold Story. “In the early 1960s, Marvel Comics introduced a series of bright-costumed superhero characters—including Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and the Amazing Spider-Man—that would evolve into a modern American mythology for millions of readers. Over the last half-century, these characters have been passed along among generations of brilliant editors, artists, and writers who struggled with commercial mandates, a fickle audience, and, over matters of credit and control, one another. Written by Sean Howe, former comic book reviewer and editor at Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Comics: The Untold Story is a gripping narrative of one of the most extraordinary, beloved, and beleaguered pop cultural entities in America’s history.”   Guest hosting is: Steven Attewell writes about the intersection of history, politics, and pop culture in The People’s History of the Marvel Universe for Graphic Policy. In his day job, He teaches public policy at CUNY’s Murphy Institute for Labor Studies. He is the founder of Race for the Iron Throne.

Now with thirty percent less trick and at least half the US. Daily Requirement of treat, it is Episode 105, with Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester dressing up as semi-competent podcasters for Halloween 2012. Today, we break out the shovels and dig our discussions extra deep, with nearly half an hour on just the first issue of Multiple Warheads by Brandon Graham, as well as forty five minutes on the extraordinary Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe. We also ring the doorbells of the spooky porches belonging to Batman Inc. #4, Flash #13, and the first issue of Ghost, and Graeme details the razor blade apple that is Superman #13. At just a hair over two hours, this has enough ear candy for you to go to bed with a stomach ache until at least Thanksgiving. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy...and thanks for listening!
