Dear Readers,

Musea started more than 25 years ago. I can't even imagine how every reader's life has changed since then. I wonder how many holding this issue, saw the first issue in September 1992. My guess is that there are only a rugged few from those first days. Most of you have started reading years later, or have come and gone a time or two and picked up a copy now and then.

This issue is for all of my readers past, present, and future. It will bring you up to date on what Musea has been doing all those years. I call it the "Retrograde Issue"

Musea has been very busy. The following catalogue of events, projects, items, and causes, will surprise all but the most faithful readers. Those who discover Musea with this issue are warned that it will take a few years to catch up to it all; but please do!

For the rest of you, investigate the 100 listings and see how many you remember and how many are new to you. There are even a few that are brand new to all.

1 203 Musea issues in print. Started as a single folded sheet and evolved to 8 pages.

2 The AACA, Artists Against Corporate Art emblem, that many artists added to their work to show their support for Musea's ongoing arts and media revolution.

3 AACA T-Shirts. Very RARE, gray t-shirts with the Artists Against Corporate Art logo.

4 Bagatelles. Hundreds of original piano pieces. See Lost Tapes, or Youtube channel.

5 Art Contests. Quiz question with prize. Now on hiatus. 850 installments so far.

Q. Musea the zine of the arts and media revolution, social issues, and science. (1992.)

6 Pennies for Play. This idea for a website would set up an online pay for play service where clicking on a webpage pays a penny or so to access the work of an artist, musician, writer, filmmaker, architect, dancer, photographer, journalist, etc. This simple step eliminates the entire layer of corporate middlemen, allows any artist of any kind to get compensation, and allows independent media to be free of any ads or sponsors.

7 "Z" Puzzle. This ongoing contest will pay real money for anyone that can decipher this page of 'Z's. No one so far has solved the puzzle, and it's been years! Can you?

8 Lost Tapes. This online collection of rare recordings, includes assorted piano bagatelles, jazz improvisations, early guitar recordings, and some original songs.

9 History of Rock 'n Roll. Two part recitation over guitar improv telling the history of rock 'n roll in both key decades of the 50's and 60's.

10 100 Years Ago in Musea. Fictional History Series that featured a vintage photo, with a story/caption to fit; often with some connection to Musea from the 1890s!

Q. Art News and reviews for those who oppose the status quos! (Tagline.)

11 Theater Workers Protest. Musea has advocated for theater workers to get fair wages and benefits, not the lowest allowed by law. I was a theater worker myself for 25 years at the Inwood Theater in Dallas, 1990-2014. (See Box Office Concerts.)

Q. While Hollywood walks the red carpet, theater workers are swept under it!

12 Stand Ups, art that has escaped the walls. This is a way to display smaller art works. Paste copies of the art onto cardboard and then fold the sides so that the work will 'stand up' by itself on any surface.

13 Game of Twelves. Board game and rule book. This game challenges players to maximize their life experiences in each of 12 departments before fate says time is up.

14 Wiki College. This idea for an online college would allow any adult to get a college education for a fair price. It would feature the best teachers from the world in multiple video courses that cost $30 for those who take the final exam. Teachers get the money and passing grades get accreditation that is good anywhere. There can also be ongoing Q. and A. discussion groups on each subject with teacher comments.

15 People Power. Turn a windmill sideways and you have a revolving door or turnstile. People go through and generate clean, healthy, power in every emergency or in advance of any emergency. No one should be without power if there are people.

16 Art Works. Many know me as an artist/painter with 11,300 works so far. I paint and draw portraits, landscapes, still lifes, abstracts, book illustrations and more.

17 Musea's First Issue was a single sheet front and back called the Muse News. After getting a lawyer letter from a Houston Piano Teacher saying she had the name, it was changed to Musea. (Myoo Zee' Uh).

18 Triangle Train. For decades,Musea has called for a non stop Texas train that in one day goes from Dallas / Fort Worth, to Austin / San Antonio to Houston and back.

19 Musea Reading Fund. This free fund of 2-3 thousand dollars is to help ANYONE buy classic books, records, videos, at any Lucky Dog Books - including YOU!

20 English Spelling Reforms. Musea's attempt to simplify English spelling and pronunciation; with a call for a convention to work on English Spelling Reforms.

New idea: Musea calls for a simplified English for non English Speakers.

21 The Paradigm Shift from conservative versus liberal to corporations versus people. Who controls the government? Corporations are winning. See Musea's list. (new.)

22 KNON-FM radio show with co host Kinny Littlefield called State of the Arts, 1980s.

23 Musea's idea for twice weekly online newspaper that summarizes the current news for six major geographical sections of the world, plus art, science, and social issues.

Q. Press, go beyond the scandal of the few and cover the issues of the millions!

24 Musea's Annual Christmas Stories. For over a decade Musea has featured original Holiday themed short stories to brighten the season!

25 Art Envelopes. Copies of my art works or any glossy photos, folded into one of a kind art envelopes, suitable for mailing to someone special. Hundreds given away!

26 Essay on Education. VERY large essay on all aspects of educational reforms.

Q. If the school destroys the student's desire to learn, it gets an "F".

27 Wikipedia Entry. I have my own entry in the online encyclopedia.

28 Rock, Paper, Scissors; Dance. Youtube video with rhythm soundtrack, showing all the moves for you to do the Rock, Paper, Scissors.

29 Media Pledge. Musea calls for all news media to sign a pledge that whenever possible they will not show crying women and children, or bleeding victims, or dead bodies, or the death of anyone, on camera! Dignity of fellow humans should come before ratings. No media source, national or local, other than Musea, has signed it.

30. Musea E-mail Club. Musea has sent out over 900 weekly e-messages to our online readers that are on our mailing list.

31 Songs/Music Compositions. I have written, as of this date, 2,000 songs, compositions, and instrumentals for guitar and keyboard in every style from classical to rockabilly, from children's song to jazz. (2,000th song written 9/28/18.)

32 Combo Style Guitar Playing. Not a singer/ not a songwriter, not a band, something in between, something new. This style of playing guitar is a combination of bass, rhythm and lead at the same time.

33 TEXAS VIDEO SHOWDOWN . Music protest centered on Youtube's worst video ever made ... on purpose. This protest centers the music revolution around this video. Thousands have seen and heard it. Join us. See also:

#TexasVideoShowdown and #ProgressiveMusiciansForFairCoverage.

34 Box Office Concerts. Live, twice weekly, concerts by Hunkasaurus and His Pet Dog Guitar, from the glassed in box office of the Inwood Theater, in Dallas; 1996-2014.

35 12 By 12. My 1980s co-op record company, where each LP had 12 musicians, duets, or groups; that contributed one song each, paid one twelfth of the cost, and received one twelfth of the recordings made. Total: 5 LPs, 1 CD, and one cassette at the end titled, Tom's Favorites from 12 By 12, with many classic songs from a lot of talented people. (Personal recordings during this time include 3 full band singles, and a 4 song cassette featuring my combo guitar style - all very rare vinyl and tape!!!)

36 The BIG LIST. With over 200 Songs, this is the First Worldwide Best Music of the Entire Internet, list. These are all great music, you have probably never heard, in all genres, from all over the world - all great songs, that stand out - not fit in.

37 HUNKASAURUS and His PET DOG GUITAR, "OUTSIDE THE BOX" SET. 9 CD's of 150 recordings. This ten year project of half originals, and half covers was the studio recordings of my Box Office Concert song list. Engineers were Pam Irwin (first 6 CDs), and Nolan Bret (last 3 cds). This was sold as a single rare box set, or as 9 single CD's, or streaming music on all major online sites.

38 Music Revolution. 3 CEOs control 80% of the music industry, all men no women in any key positions. 1% of musicians get 70% of all money, and 99% of musicians are marginalized out of fair careers. But it's much worse. We all know that music is dull, radio is awful, concerts are a rip off, top seller charts are suspicious, music media never covers anyone really different, most all musicians make minimum wage at best (15k or less), and there is never news of anyone against all this! Time for a CHANGE!

Q. 1% of musicians make 70% of the money. Then that 1% should also make 70% of all donations to charity from musicians.

39 American Blues Single, YOUR LOVE IS TRUE / Say So, Amy Bell label, 1967, features my original on the 'A' side. Both sides are still first rate (see Youtube). Two of the members, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, went on to form Z Z Top.

40 MacArthur Park - new lyrics. Classic 1968 hit by Richard Harris and written by Jimmy Webb, had lyrics that puzzled many with " ... left a cake out in the rain,' etc. I rewrote the lyrics, and posted them online. A Facebook reader showed it to Webb's wife who... didn't like it - said it took the poetry out of it. You decide!

41 John & Martha. This 80's cassette recording of my first 5 act rock opera / love story starred Karen Bella as Martha, and me as John - extremely rare to find now.

42 MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC. Music Music Music! Songs Songs Songs! From January 2017 to September, 2018 I have written the music to 270 songs! That is more than 12 a month for 21 months. The 270 songs are from #1730 - #2,000. For comparison, the Beatles wrote about 200 songs total in the group's career. I did 70 more than that in 27 months, and ten times that in total so far. But are mine anywhere as good? Play them and see for yourself! You be the judge.

I had planned to record many of these, but I'm not going to go into a recording studio until the music stops flowing! So instead I've done, NOT studio recordings, but ROUGH, mostly MINUTE LONG, DEMOS, on my Youtube channel, of many of these 270 songs! I call them CHEAP CASSETTE DEMOS.

43 My Birthday Song. This recent song is my birthday song that I've put in the public domain so anyone can sing it for anyone's birthday. See the Youtube video.

44. CD BABY, my online record distributor, has posted each of my 150 HUNKASAURUS and HIS PET DOG GUITAR, recordings as separate videos that each shows the cover of the LP it came from, while playing the song. See Youtube.

See also BOOK BABY for distributing all my books online.

50 Five Doors to the Art Revolution. Six video series: Intro, Art, Music, Lit, Reviews, and Art Center. See my Youtube channel.

51 Twenty Seven Censored Issues in the Arts. These key issues affect us all, and yet not even the most notable progressive media watchdogs will talk about them. Many are scattered throughout these pages - or see the full list that includes: no protest songs allowed on any mainstream radio in the US, public domain mess or why isn't Mickey Mouse in the PD, political book deals with massive advances, Hollywood makes millions but theater workers make lowest wages allowed, 3 CEO's, all men, control 80% of music (Warner, Universal, Sony,) and 1% of musicians make 70% of the money...

52 Sayings of Editor Art. Hundreds of quips and quotes with a sampling in these pages. Look for the Q. Covers arts, media, social issues, science, and more.

Q. Well, if you appreciate my business, why am I on hold?

53 ZHOF. Zine Hall of Fame. The last golden age of literature was in the 90s. Zines came from a mix of indie publishing and the desktop revolution. This ZHOF salutes many of the greats. Sadly this writing of an entire generation is banned in almost all media coverage - including those who rail against banned books!

Q. Reading matters!

SCIENCE IDEAS. Most of my suggested ideas concern two areas, the origin of life, OOL, (see next entry) ; or human health and behavior.

63 ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AND IT'S ROLE IN THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. My paper of suggestions posted on the Youtube science website. See footnotes for much more.

Q. A bear is an Earthling too!

Q. If OOL (origin of life) was likely we are likely to be here. If OOL was not likely we are not likely to be here.

Q. There IS a direction in evolution - towards better catabolic and anabolic processes.

Q. Anabolic and catabolic processes do NOT blend. Suggestion that each side may help spur the other with a positive mutation, or help mitigate the other's bad mutations.

Q. My salt does not want to eat, and my pepper does not want to reproduce - on faulty OOL scenarios I've labeled as "Five Steps of a Magic Chemical Wand."

Q Weight problems are the top layer of bigger issues for overweight and underweight:

OVERweight - ANGER for nurturing - oral - control others - too hot - separation anxiety.

UNDERweight - FEAR of infection - anal - control self - too cold - stranger anxiety.

Q. Weight loosing strategy that works - don't eat when it's dark!

Q. Suggestion that a new way of genetic transfer is the transfer of good bacteria from mother to child. This genetic transfer is completely outside the human genome!

Q. Symbiosis is a key part of the survival of the fittest.

Q. Key reason for sleep may be to release muscle pain. (New idea.)

Q. Who really thinks that all aliens will have 20th century Earth morals?

64. Ten Year Break. Dear Science Community, Musea suggests that you all join together in a single 5-10 year project, to end major problems on planet Earth. First list major problems; then collaborate to solve them. When that is done, get back to science as usual. This zine has suggested ideas for ending poverty, college for all, people power, etc (see listings.) You can build on these, do better, or invent your own. Time to use your smarts and passion for science, to tackle the main issues.

65 Dot's Playhouse, City wide Victorian Mansion turned into a playhouse and kid's museum. Best place? Fair park. (See also Pedal Park.)

66 Enough Rope Interviewing Technique. Agree too much with controversial interviewee and watch them squirm and pull back - but how far back will they go?

67 Russ Martin Radio Challenge, my best indie recording, "Dallas, This Town Lies in the Future", versus his corporate choice, Aerosmith's "Jaded". Guess who won.

SOCIAL ISSUES: Comments and/or essays on major issues.

83 #HeyRichHowMuchIsEnough. Twitter hashtag - add your relevant posts.

84 National Worker's Union built on the AARP advocate group for seniors? That way every worker is automatically signed up, and every worker is represented in congress.

85 Too Few Control Too Much. The law for the 5-10 major media/art conglomerates should be: You can Make the art, Distribute the art , Publicize and Review the art on your entertainment and media outlets; BUT YOU CAN’T DO ALL THREE!

86 COMMUNITY BANK ACCOUNTS (CBAs), a way to end poverty WITHOUT SPENDING A PENNY! This is economic development that builds up, not trickles down! Capital invested in state banks or credit unions creates interest that goes to the poorest communities; plus money for loans. The cost of the F-35 plane, OR the cost of the bank bailout would be enough capital to end poverty, without spending a penny.

Q The Big Lie, trickle down economic development helps all, but build up economic development is charity welfare that ruins lives! False!!!

Q Reasonable gun laws or an armed camp country, that has started with government buildings, airports, and now schools.

Q. Who gives 110% and why should they? 80% is best for worker, and boss too!

Q The President calls for a Space Force "... and the aliens are going to pay for it!"

87 Review Website. Key to any artists career is fair reviews. This online site would guarantee a fair and permanent online review for any musician, painter, writer, filmmaker, etc. for a processing fee. No ads. Judged on merit not promotion.

88 Architectural designs: Musea issues covering: Musead, an art center for the world; My Dream House, Glass Chapel, TH Museum, Tower, Blocks (toy), and more.

89 Fashion designs including plans for a HouseDallas Design House.

Q. She's a fashion plate, what a dish!

Q. Catty about the Cat Walk, or a Damsel in This Dress.

90 Sculpture designs including, Moon, 3 Symbols Sculpture, Man, and many more.

91 Saved Posts Sundays. Weekly Facebook feature of 23 best saved posts. Join me!

Plus Contributors: Gregory K. H. Bryant, Sparrow, David McGhee, and Ace Backwards.

Q. It's my Soirée and I'll Ennui if I want to.

92 Musea Cover Photos. Some great photography from many past and current photographers. I quickly learned that a great photo makes an issue. Many early issues had tag lines. Spent hours to get these fractured comments just right! Go back and see!

93 Downtown Dallas as a Pedestrian Mall. Make Dallas a one of a kind downtown experience by closing traffic to Main Street, and turning it into a pedestrian mall that connects Downtown to Deep Ellum and Fair Park. Then Oak Cliff across the river.

94 Musea TV Network, Musea programed an imaginary TV station with two issues of 42 original shows, both titled: The Rise And Fall Season.

95 Musea Guides. Throughout the history of Musea I have published guides to the best in the arts. The largest undertaking was the 3 full issues of MUSEA'S GUIDE TO THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME, Year by year, 1897-2000. Some other notable guides included; 100 Best Novels of All Time; Best TV comedies 1949-2000; Adventures in Reading, two issues of guides to some fun assorted books; Ten Best Poets of All Time; and 1,000 Reviews, 2 issues of short short reviews on everything.

96 30K House. Architects love to design the cottage for seniors, singles, and couples starting out. So why not an add-on house. Start for 30k and add the extras as the owner can afford them. Change carport to garage, add washer/dryer, etc.

97 Ben Bagdikian. The highly influential author of the Media Monopoly, 1983, saw a

consolidation of the media into fewer and fewer hands. I saw that his arguments for the media, worked for the arts too; and that these same huge media conglomerates also made the arts, distributed them, and even publicized and reviewed them in the media they owned! I said to myself, Time for a revolution in the arts.

98 Monday Music. Blog radio show idea with a round table of music lovers who talk

about best new music that week, and favorite vintage recordings. (New.)

Q. Serving all your art revolutionary needs since 1992.

99 ??? (Always some plans under wraps and secret for now!)

100 The future ahead!

Musea #204, the Retrograde issue.
