Larry Flynt

You must know by now that I am intrigued by legends of the past and bad asses, and what is a bad ass? Depends on who you ask, but anyone who utilizes the law to the fullest extent and yields in a lot of dough without breaking any is a legit bad ass in my book. God bless Larry Flynt!

The world has gone through some drastic changes in the last couple of years and another bad ass I often refer to is Mark Twain, as he said it best... "History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes."

This past year has reminded me of the late 70's - early 80's. We have an NYC Vlog on our YouTube channel; you can see for yourself how New York today is very much back to how New York was in the early 80's... dirty and no money. People have always been rude, but on our stroll throughout the city... I was reminded of the past... back in the day the city was in a financial crisis and here we go again.

This plague/ Covid19, well we have seen that a few times throughout history too, but will folks listen or continue to cry boo hoo? In many ways it seems like we have gone back in time. Inflation madness doesn't allow me to get out of bed, so I write instead.

I look to legends of the past and I tell myself, if they can build an Empire from scratch... so can I! And I go on with my bad self.

God bless the USA & the US Constitution! My freedom of speech, religion and press has been an absolute blessing this past year as many tried to silence me in the very beginning of my journey. I went full throttle on that ass! With my pen and paper of course :)

I love Art and some folks may have opinions and judgment on my style of Art, which includes a dark past and a lot of nudity and a lot of sex...but am I the first? Or the last? NO.

I just have the balls to write about it, talk about it and my ultimate wish is to have my story on the big screen. You need a set of big balls for this kind of dream darling.

A quick Wikipedia research on Larry Claxton Flynt Jr. also revealed to me the amazing set of balls this gentleman had.

American publisher produced pornographic magazines, aka Hustler. Mr. Flynt also produced pornographic videos.

* Personally, I do not consider pornographic videos as Art. This is now action and with videos you are telling me what to imagine. I prefer photos. But this is a free country and if that is your tea... then hey, do what you have to do. I am simply reporting my findings, and these are my opinions.

* I see photos as Art, because I see beauty in everything and everyone. Images allow me to be the boss of my imagination and fantasy...fornication is different.

We are in the USA and videos are allowed, so long as the individuals are of age and consent to the plowing being recorded.

Haters have been around for a very long time and Mr. Flynt fought several legal battles involving the 1st Amendment.

Did I tell you they tried to stop me too? The last year has been unreal to say the least... but very much like my legends, they couldn't stop me either.

Larry Flynt was born on 11/1/1942, there's something about this generation that I admire. How these folks-built empires from scratch are really impressive.

Last year they branded me as Delusional for saying I was starting a company and I actually did! The Vibe Podcast has been rocking and rolling since 5/19/21. Indie and absolutely loving this journey! We have since grown to more than just a podcast... we are in the entertainment business darling.

Back in 2003, Larry Flynt was listed number one on the "50 Powerful People in Porn." I guess you can say he is the Jackhammer of the industry. Mr. Flynt's occupation is listed as, Publisher, Activist & Businessman. Fucking legend!

There's something about being raised in poverty, we've got nothing to lose. We are a fearless bunch as a result of our poor upbringing.

Mcgoffin County was the poorest county during the Great Depression & Mr. Flynt was raised in this madness.

With inflation, I pray we never experience something like this. This is a very real fear of mine and I wish for the country to do better fiscally. I do not believe in the workforce anymore. It was of high importance that I invest in myself. I believe in me more than I believe in a job. We are in a scary period of our lives, and I pray we do not go through a recession or worse... another great depression.

Larry Flynt joined the Army at age 15, using a counterfeit birth certificate. Hey, use them before they use you... the Military has a lot to offer a poor boy.

My father was a drafted soldier, sent to Korea. While my father suffered a great deal, the Military provided for all of us. I inherited the genes & I live up to the code on my late father's behalf to prove that you can succeed in life with Army values.

After a string of odd jobs, Mr. Flynt later enlisted in the US Navy in 1960. He became a Radar Operator on USS Enterprise & honorably discharged in 1964.

Mr. Flynt worked the bar scene in 1965, working up to 20 hours a day! He took Amphetamines to stay awake.

If I could ask Larry Flynt one question...that question would be, Mr. Flynt, how poor were you? Only poor people work this hard.

I believe there is a fear that sets in when you grow up in poverty, and in an effort to never go poor again they work, work and work. This is known as Hustling and that's kind of where I am at today.

Back in 1968, Mr. Flynt opened a new higher-class bar which would also feature nude hostess dancers and was the first in the area. He named it the Hustler Club. Mr. Flynt later opened several other clubs in the mid-west.

Each club grossed, $520,000 a year! That's a lot of money! Especially for those days, quite impressive!

In 1972, Mr. Flynt created Hustler Magazine. Revenue for the Hustler Clubs began to decline due to the recession, he then decided to turn the Hustler Newsletter into a sexually explicit magazine with national distribution. Wow! Reminds me of me... back in my early dancing days. I would get money just for sitting with folks but after the towers fell on 9/11, customers were no longer giving away free money and eventually I too fell into temptation.

Thankfully, a Soldier boy pulled me out. The toxicity & potential diseases are not worth the pay.

Mr. Flynt acquired nude photos of Jackie O. and published them! Fuck your feelings on the first lady... this is the USA and Freedom of Press is very real.

My motto is, if you don't want to be embarrassed... do not do embarrassing things. Within only a few days, one million copies were sold. Making Mr. Flynt a millionaire... remember the haters I mentioned earlier?

In 1978, during a legal battle Mr. Flynt and his lawyer were shot. This left Mr. Flynt paralyzed.

Larry Flynt has been married quite a few times, but the one I recall is from the movie. The People vs. Larry Flynt, starring Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love as Althea Leasure.

Larry Flynt was quite a character; he went from being baptized as born again to being an Atheist... again kind of like me. I was baptized born again in 2017, however my kind of Spirituality may be looked down upon by others. I serve God not man, I do not worry about others opinion on me.

Larry Flynt died on 2/10/21...last year was the most difficult year for me after solving my father's murder mystery, to separating from toxic/abusive people that I look to legends of the past and I find comfort in knowing that I am not alone.

Rest in Peace Mr. Larry Flynt!
