Does Anyone kow "Up Against the Wall MortherFuckers"?

This is a part of history that makes me proud to be the kid of the hippie generation. Proof that what ya'll did changed everything!

I happen to be a good friend of the leader of the MotherFuckers before the leadership was handed over to Ginsberg.

Man, the stories were incredible!! But, not as Stalinist as the Weather Underground...

If anyone has any stories or knows of or used to be a MotherFucker. I'd like to rap, but also if you were a MotherFucker... lots of love and respect your way!

Succulent ~loving ya'll

 

i dont fuck my mother. jk!

I remember Up Against the Wall Redneck Mothers by Jerry Jeff Walker. that was a good one. I'll look up the lyrics if anyone cares.

Spoken: This song was first by Ray Wylie Hubbard



Sung: He was born in Oklahoma,

His wife's name is Betty Lou Thelma Liz

He's not responsible for what he's doing

Cause his mother made him what he is.



And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.



Sure does like his Falstaff beer,

Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;

Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;

He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker



And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.



M is for the mud flaps you give me for my pickup truck

O is for the Oil I put on my hair

T is for T-bird

H is for Haggard

E is for eggs, and

R is for REDNECK.



Up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.



It's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

 

We Can Be Together
Jefferson Airplane


We can be together
Ah you and me
We should be together
We are all outlaws in the eyes of america
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal
We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young
But we should be together
Come on all you people standing around
Our life’s too fine to let it die and
We can be together
All your private property is
Target for your enemy
And your enemy is
We
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say we are we are
And we are very
Proud of ourselves
Up against the wall
Up against the wall (motherfucker)
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Come on now together
Get it on together
Everybody together
We should be together
We should be together my friends
We can be together
We will be
We must begin here and now
A new continent of earth and fire
Come on now gettin higher and higher
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Won’t you try

 

Thank you so very fucking much Mimosa! Only problem, though: you didn't include the musical notation. What's the key? (I transpose.) What's the melody?


I don't think Jerry Jeff will sue you for copyright infringement-- he's most likely unconsious right now, anyhow.

If he does raise a beef, just tell him Burl said it's all right.

In the late '60s/early '70s there was some sort of major trouble in the East Village/East Coast radical community and shortly there after there arrived refugees from at least three eastern families to seek refuge in the Haight, the STP family, Armed Love, and the Motherfucker family. Some of the Moterfucker's found a home with The Church of the Good Earth and at least one or two remain with the northern clans of the family to this day. The names that come to mind are Chuck, Mike, and a sweet redhead named Bonnie Motherfucker. BTW, if anyone out there has news of Bonnie please let us know.

The only song I know called
"UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHERFUCKER"
IS BY David Peel
THE SELF PROCLAIMED HIPPIE OF NEW YORK CITY.

 

It's not a song y'all it's a commune.. The Up Against The Wall Motherfuckers Commune...
Peace.

I believe it was based in NY, and branched out to SF. We had a few of the Motherfuckers at the Good Earth Commune as Ranger had posted earilier.
sh

 

They began in NYC as a collective.
They were also the group that has been credited for cutting the fence at Woodstock and turning it into a free concert.

The name of the group 'Up Against the Wall, Motherfucker!' was taken from a poem written by Leroi Jones.
They also supported the woman who shot Andy Warhol. Almost killing him.

They were rather political in the late 60's, dumping garbage on the steps of the Lincoln Center...and chanting "garbage for garbage'..."We propose a cultural exchange"...
They were also affiliated with Students for a democratic society.

There was also a certain amount of violence that surrounded them.
Something about an exchange with Bill Graham owner of the Fillmore East that ensded with Graham's nose getting busted and the super of the building they were squatting in in the village being stabbed to death.

In '67 some of them broke into the Pentagon during an anyi-war rally and were beaten by soldiers.

They were on a militant edge, however they did help support runaway's on the streets of NY with food,shelter and other help.

Yes some did end up in SF as Mary said.
Some went on to join up with the Diggers.

They are no longer as a group, the so called leader is now in his 60's....

[Supposedly it really was a commune they lived in but I havent read much about it, very little in Dee Dees book and in an interview at Jari's site John from the band talks about it very sparingly.]???

 

I don't recall hearing that name anywhere, I use to be part of the Brotherhood of the Mystic Arts out of Laguna Beach and there where the Brotherhood of Eternal Light, they were all big time LSD Experiencers and were Timothy Leary's Family. Also later I stayed we some people at the Universal Lighthouse of Prayer But I this one doesent ring any bells.

Inter-Celestial as of 1994 was still around.
Don't know if they still are.
It was/is in Amsterdam.

 

Tipi you are just a wealth of imformation, I'm so glad you back... ((((Diane)))

Hi SH I think I got a bunch of L from those guys in Laguna Canyon. Were they the ones who had the dogs that were trained to smell gun oil to prevent any weapons or narcs from coming in? You had to drive down a dirt road to get back in there? I just knew them as The Brotherhood. That would have been about '67
