Ashley Huizenga, keyboardist and vocalist of the L.A./S.F. band Hard Place. Vice Magazine pretty much describes her complete opposite. They got one thing right. The girl is definitely a do!

It’s that time of year again. Wow the 11th Annual Mission Creek Music Festival. We’re impressed, 11 years old, that’s almost legal!

Scoff if you must but if you really think LONG AND HARD about it, it’s easy to surmise that Smokey the Bear is gay.

Here are the facts:

He hangs out in the bushes

He’s totally on fire

and he’s big and burly, next to Dan Blocker he’s the penultimate bear.

All kidding aside, Smokey was voiced by character actor Roger C. Carmel, most famous for his role as Harry Mudd on the original Star Trek TV series. In Hollwood, it was no secret Roger was gay. Rumours of his cocaine fueled parties with various L.A. rent boys abound. Roger died in 1986 of a heart attack due to an enlarged heart. I’m sure the bolivian marching powder aka booger sugar did not help. So where is this all going? Coke has made a huge comeback on the scene and we here at World Famous in SF do not like it one bit! Let’s face it, people on coke have absolutely no sense of humor. R.I.P. Roger, the world lost one hell of a mustache. Special thanks to fellow native Detroiter Scott Matthews and his mind numbingly entertaining website findadeath.com for the dirt on Roger, Smokey and Hoss!
