Burning of Zozobra 2008 Fort Marcy Park Santa Fe NM Kiwanas

[willymageestudio]

they'll be fornicating in the streets. and stuff.

[ZR1KOH]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the pagan deities paraded around by the catholics, "madonnas" just as they did in the time of Babylon, except then it was Isis or Osiris. The "city of Holy Faith" has gone all out apostate! Gays, lesbians, idols, pagan festivals (I mean fiestas), what more could a worldling ask for. As the crowd chants "burn him," just like Christ right. Oh yeah He said forgive them for they know not what they do. Ah well, so much for sobriety, sanctity of marriage, & city of holyfaith

@ZR1KOH You sir are a funny man, or woman, or whatever you are...

[ZR1KOH]

This is an all out drunken extraveganza. This is what fiesta's in Santa Fe is, NM version of mardi gras. Pagan as hell! And all the Catholics and Protestants are all there, so much for the God they claim to believe in. Gays/lesbians galore, pachucos, cholo's, and drunks of all kinds looking for fights. What a time. I wonder what these people's Christ would do if He was to suddenly come when this was underway? I don't think it would turn out good for them.

@ZR1KOH Learn proper punctuation and spelling, THEN you can attempt higher-level critique of civic celebrations.

[Cruzito420]

This Giant puppet looks like Dennis Rodman.

FYI Zozobra is not specifically a gay/lesbian celebration as the description of this posting suggests. I think it's fair to say that it is a gay/lesbian and "anything in the world that you want to be" friendly celebration! It's the fiestas de Santa Fe, it has been happening for generations and is a genuine local cultural affair! Everybody is welcome no matter what your "classification" is.

Here you can have your stump back...no offense... Viva la fiestas!

[Sublime2010Ya]

how come they didnt just remaster the original recording of his roaring?

[atakra]

@Sublime2010Ya Actually although they have recorded the burnings audiotrack for the past 30 years, it's always been done with live vocals and soundtrack. Last year's groans were digitally modified vocals by Rod McNamara 14 years and Kenneth Garley 7 years. Before that his groans were provided by someone I can't remember for like 50 years, but he passed away,..

[ArcticFlame18]

@atakra It was Harold Gans, who did the voice for 50 years. This 2008 burn was dedicated to him.

[atakra]

@ArcticFlame18 That's right. And Harold was a Freemason also.

[GoToSantaFe]

[chrisclokey]

[YourLordVicious]

BURN MOTHERFUCKER BURN!!!!

[viperset]

when i was a kid my parents would load us up in the station wagon and find a place to park on marcy field and watch this. like a tailgate party. it was cool back in the 60's

[nikkimoll]

He's really ugly.

[Xychk]

Arent we supposed to be doing this to Dub, Cheney, ken lay, Bernie 'burn in hell' Maddof?and the countless others who have been raping and robbing us for years?

[MOTIVEONER]

[MOTIVEONER]

[DARTHVADER17000]

[firebend92]

shut up aaron

[KobezBro]

god is he whiney!

i went in 2002

[XxMaggotxX21]

and is it just me or has the roaring changed over time??

[atakra]

The roaring has changed. The vocalist who did the vox for 30+ years died last year and they have someone new who I do not know. Also, the guitar solo diarrhea has fluctuated throughout the years. In the 1980's they also had keyboards and sometimes a theremin involved... It kind of depends on what instruments people are playing.

[XxMaggotxX21]

i love zozobra its my fav time of year! :D

[epundo3]

don't ou find this sort of paganistic?

[srs6d]

Saw it last year, but couldn't get out to Santa Fe this year. Looks like it was a good time.

[pajobajd10]

it's this tradion that the city of santa fe has, it's the first thursday in september every year. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[pajobajd10]

it's only one day a year

[hansdaltrey]

I was there, three persons screaming like hell and almost burping were the zozobra's voice. It was quite impressive, but I wonder how many days they will spend completely dumb.

[deCoygal99]

[globalfuzzybug]

[HannahTannah101]
