“If someone told me to write a book on morality, it would have a hundred pages and ninety-nine of them would be blank. On the last page I would write, “I recognize only one duty and that is to love.” And as far as everything else is concerned, I say no.”

One of my favorite LIFE photographs — Happy Birthday Frank Zappa.

Assigned to take portraits of the artists at home with their sweetly square folks, photographer John Olson traveled everywhere from the suburbs of London to Brooklyn to the San Francisco Bay Area, capturing in his work the love that bridged any cultural divide that may have existed between his subjects.

“Everyone had told me that Frank Zappa was going to be really difficult, and he couldn’t have been more professional,” Olson says.

As for Zappa’s parents: “My father has ambitions to be an actor,” Frank told LIFE. “He secretly wants to be on TV.” His mom, meanwhile, thought Frank’s career was fine and dandy, but envied something else about him. “The thing that makes me mad about Frank,” she said, “is that his hair is curlier than mine — and blacker.”

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:04:21 -0500

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

- Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild (via fuckyeahexistentialism)

Hilarious: "Ron Paul. The Young Hipsters Vote"

Hilarious: "Ron Paul. The Young Hipsters Vote":

utnereader:

hipsterlibertarian:

This is highly amusing to me for obvious reasons. The article itself:

Ron Paul is a hipster’s dream. He’s the vinyl section of the record store. He’s the rare gem at Goodwill.

Paul wants to legalize drugs (not just marijuana, all drugs) and keep the government out of Trust Funds. He’s a Libertarian in the purest sense, and he’s attracting a young urban demographic that’s tired of the same old “lamestream” politicians in the White House.

Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show is one of the few media outlets that is actually paying attention to Ron Paul. He’s praised Paul’s political consistencies and has even had him on the show a few times. When discussing the recent Republican political debates, Stewart explained, ” The guy is for gay marriage, legalizing drugs, and against military spending. He’s criticized Ronald Reagan. He’s certainly capable of winning his nomination, but the Republicans ain’t his party.” I personally can’t think of anything more hipster than ironically subscribing to the wrong political party.

He’s been nicknamed Ronstoppable by his young fans, and he’s finally living up to this name. After a “Media Blackout” of the candidate on both Liberal and Conservative outlets, CBS came out with an article last week about the Paul moving to the “Top Tier” of Republican candidates.

It’s true that Paul has a large body of well-educated and enthusiastic supporters. While other candidates are tripping over themselves in debates or being taken down by scandal, Ron Paul holds his ground. He appears strong against competitors at debates. When Republican hopeful Rick Perry pitifully turned to Paul to help during his infamous “I don’t know the 3^rd…” catastrophe at the Republican debates, Paul didn’t miss a beat. He hilariously replied, “there’s five…” solidifying new supporters on the spot.

The primaries are months away, but Paul is gaining steam. Recent media attention has turned the impossible candidate into “Ronstoppable”. Let’s just hope he doesn’t get too mainstream.

Yes, yes, quite funny.
