Flags in the Cake Song "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" 2001

 The California Flag appears in the music video Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake 2001.  While Ren-Wang Loi listens to the song the flag of California can be seen in the background.



This video heralds the future of the 21st century with a focus on the perspective of the masses, as is the case with Youtube, Facebook and the Internet.  People with negative, mixed, and positive reviews of the song are given airtime. The reviewers of the song are the stars of the official video.  The reviews engage the camera with a special kind of honesty that flies into your face.


It looks like there are some commercial flags flying in the background by PIER 39. The people oddly speak more with their body than their lips.

     








Here an elderly man is wearing a button with a pink flag on it.  It is nearly impossible to make it out.  If you know please let me know.








 

Astrological Royal III - East meets West Sagittarius & the Horse

 Once ever generation of Sagittariuses, during one moon, a special group of Sagittariuses gets blessed by becoming an Astrological Royal.  An Astrological Royal occurs when the Eastern and Western Zodiacs align.  In this case it is the match of the Year of the Horse with the sign of Sagittarius.

Famous Sagittariuses Royal include: Clay Aiken, Rita Ora, Jimmy Hendrix, Hu Jintao, Teyana Taylor, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley.  For basketball we have Avery Bradley and Jason Collins and his twin brother Jarron Collins. Dick Butkus is also a Sagittarius Royal. The boxer Manny Pacquiao also known as the Pac-man is a part of this group. Ray Liotta, Joel Cohen, and Bruce Hornsby are also Sagittarius Royals. They have an uncanny aim and ability to hit their mark.  Finally Jack Hobbs the 'Babe Ruth' of Cricket is the epitome of a Sagittarius Royal. 

Astrological Royal II - East meets West Leo and the Tiger

 The Year of the Tiger and Sign of Leo match harmoniously.  Every 12 years during the year of the Tiger a special alignment between Eastern and Western Zodiacs occurs, when they are in conjunction.  In this case the Tiger matches with Leo - making it an Astrological Royal.

Amazingly cross bred tigers and lions do exist.  Tiglons or Ligers are real animals, almost like something out of mythology, and mostly a product of mans tinkering.   The Leo Royal has traits of Leo and Tiger wrapped up into one. 


Famous Leo-Tigers or Leo Royals include: Peter Jennings, Tony Bennet, and Kenny Rogers Wesley Snipes, Steve Carell, Fidel Castro, Jiang Zemin, Hillary Swank, Patrick Ewing, Roger Clemens, and Princess Anne.

Astrological Royal I - Taurus & the Ox

As East meets West it is important to notice that there is kind of special harmony between the two Zodiacs.

For every sign there is a special sign that aligns in great harmony - making it an Astrological Royal.  In this case the most obvious Royal Sign belongs to people born during the Year of the Bull and under Taurus - making one a Taurus Royal.


People born under the matching Royal Houses of the East and West by being both a Taurus and an Ox include: Malcom X, Dennis Rodman, Enya, Jessica Lange, Tori Spelling, Yogi Berra, George Clooney, and Jack Nicholson.

Perhaps the most infamous Taurus Royal was Hitler - he was born under Taurus and during the Year of Ox.  But on a more positive note Star Trek's original helmsman played by George Takei is a Taurus Royal - Sulu!

-----------------------------------

You are a Taurus Royal if you were born during the month of Taurus AND in 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1960, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009.  The next group of Taurus Royals will be born in late April to mid-May in 2021, 2033, 2045, 2057, 2069, 2081, 2093, and 2105.

Flag of Pisces the Fish

The Pisces Flag is a counterchange design, like Yin and Yang.  It uses the colours blue and sea-green which is reflective of saline and fresh water fishes.  The Pisces symbol is reflective of that dualistic need for harmony between male and female energies. 

Flag of Aquarius the Water Bearer or Waiter/Waitress

Did you ever pour water for somebody else and get paid for it?  Well then, you have walked in the footsteps of Aquarius.   The flag of Aquarius uses three colours: black, indigo, and navy blue. 

Flag of Capricorn the Seagoat or Goat

Capricorn's flag is a basic design of the astrological symbol in white on black.  Is Capricorn a plain old goat or mythical Seagoat? Perhaps its both?  Maybe a Mermaid-Goat?  When it's feet touch seawater its lower half becomes fish like, as it does with the mermaid?  Which do you like better: Gmermoat, Mermoat, Goatiad, Gomermaid, or Gomermoat?  Can you think of any other 'labels'?
