Press/Reviews/Comments

Aug. 03, 2015: GREETINGS from Zuma Dogg! This is ZD's "Best Of" page, for first time viewers; with links to all the familiar archives (2000-2015) for long-time friends. If you are NEW to ZD; imagine this is the homepage of an SNL/LivingColor cast member; or radio station morning personality (except funny/talented/entertaining.)  As former Top-40 radio programmer; turned street-reality comedy character; who became an L.A. City Hall political advocate/journalist/personality (over free speech issues, when L.A. City violated them); it's a diverse range of material (music/comedy/politics); but, all under the umbrella of #PopCulture ENTERTAINMENT. And, even when addressing serious municipal issues, pretty hilarious (even when trying NOT to be). Each video is also an embedded playlist=like nine seasons of a TV show. Hope this page makes you forget about Pandora/Netflix/Etc for a few hours/weeks/months/years. Have fun. ZD

#ZumaDogg As #GeneSimmons At L.A. Council

COMEDY of POLITICS [#GeneSimmonsMask]: WATCH how City Clowncil President DENIES ZD's free speech RIGHTS, over the mask. The shady Democratic elected official makes claim, "We can't hear you" (so they cut-off ZD, entirely; and immediately.) Yet, CLEARLY everyone could hear ZD; and that fact was confirmed by those in chambers, later. (Hear crowd moan when ZD is cut-off/violated.) All of this (repeated free speech violations, by Clowncil, on ZD, resulted in City of L.A. LOSING a Federal lawsuit, filed by ZD; that cost the city SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS; and turned city hall, upside down, for YEARS (effects still being felt) as ZD became a historic, L.A. superstar, icon. ("Zuma Dogg is a superstar, Icon" - L.A. Weekly.)

ZD invented #RealityTV & #Selfies (because he didn't have a cameraman.) Here's an early (Y2K) show.

Zuma Dogg on Howard Stern: ZD fans get upset if this isn't posted. They like to say the lines back aloud, like, "Rocky Horror Picture Show." (The #Debut of Zuma Dogg)

FREE CONCERT! ZD Sings Journey: This L.A. cable TV segment is SO CLASSIC, it nearly pigeonholed ZD as the, "Don't Stop Believing" guy. Ha!

ZD vs #Occupy: "Andrew Breitbart, try as he might, could never illustrate the disjointed hilarity of #OccupyLA with the same brilliance, as Zuma Dogg." - LA Weekly

"I've seen the future of television comedy. Zuma Dogg is the only American comedian today wearing the comedy-genius mantle once borne by Lenny Bruce, Allen Funt and Andy Kaufman." - Michael Heaton/Syndicated Columnist

Zuma Dogg/Heat Politics videos: A LOT of podcast shows on municipal politics (Fraud, Waste & Abuse); Free Speech, 1st Amendment, Civil Rights; and pop-culture/#Millennials.

Comin' straight off the #Venice boardwalk. L.A.'s real-life, "Wayne's World" ("legendary, cable TV superstar/icon"); turned free-speech/political advocate/WINNER in FEDERAL court vs City of Los Angeles, when they violated ZD's (and everyone elses') civil rights at Venice Beach boardwalk; and city council meetings, during public comment (The PEOPLES' time to speak.) The ORIGINAL Reality TV show & video blog.

Zuma Dogg vs City Council: This LONGTIME elected CA Democrat was convicted/sentenced for breaking the law, as councilmember; and is now a convicted criminal. We know why he was SO nervous, here, about ZD! (REAL #RealityTV!)

"Zuma Dogg fought the oppressive, L.A. Council meetings presided over by Garcetti, who banned video cameras. Mr. Dogg prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, any now any member of the public may record the meetings, thanks to him." - LA Weekly

KCET References & Links To Zuma Dogg's Coverage of Villaraigosa's "ROUGH YEAR" (Budget Crisis)

The Mayor Looks Back on A Rough Year, Thinks It's Great

[Pictured: The guy is completely delusional at this point.]

In a wide-ranging interview with the Daily News, Mayor Villaraigosa, in the face of many obvious city problems, declares 2009 "one of the best years we've had. The heart of the story, from a Daily News report: Villaraigosa's optimism flies in the face of the problems many see on the horizon, but he remains convinced only better days are ahead.

For an entertaining counter to the mayor's optimism, see this long L.A. Times story about upcoming city employee losses and its possible impact on city services, and the continuing costs to our general fund from paying off pensions and benefits early, reprinted and annotated by City Council gadfly Zuma Dogg.

FULL KCET ARTICLE

CIty of Los Angeles - State Of The City Emergency Update From Zuma Dogg: 2010 Will Be A Disaster Film...2011 Will Be A Horror Film!

First of all, thank goodness the CD 2 City Council election is over. Now some of the air space can go back to the BIG problems I hope people are concerned about. The budget crisis, where it was announced the city's "Hail Mary" pass did not yield a first down and it WILL be elimination of entire departments and consolidation of other departments -- on top of the loss of the most experienced city workers who already took early retirement, that still wasn't enough to accomplish anything except a loss of the most valuable and knowledgeable employees. (See Deming's 14 Points.)

The budget crisis for 2010 is a disaster film and the situation for 2011 is a horror movie.

You will see hours cut a libraries, parks, DOT...your Planning Dept., Building & Safety...ALL CUT...meaning less enforcement of an already un-enforceable city. (But they keep adding MORE density.)

AND, on top of this (a lot of city workers about to be out of work), at the council meeting yesterday, they announced that HUD will be cutting back BIG TIME on their money that the City Housing Authority receives. AND IT WILL DEFINITELY RESULT IN A MASS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE CITY BEING KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES.

So the next question is, where are they going to move? Well, the city built nothing but upscale, luxury housing...and forgot to build the affordable housing...so THAT'S NOT AN OPTION.

As a matter of fact, the discussion was how there IS no option, and it will be a new wave of homelessness like the city has never seen (because HUD has never cut all the money) -- and they acknowledge there is no where to house these people. SO I GUESS THAT MEANS, "a wave of homeless is going to hit you like a tsumani, and you know that, because I am already three or four steps ahead of you." (Zuma Dogg - April 2006. His first public comment.)

The city said it's gonna be pretty bad in 2010...and then 2011 becomes a horror film. (MUCH WORSE.)

All while you can expect to see TONS of COMMERCIAL real estate start popping up in the foreclosure auctions starting this month or next month.

That means businesses aren't doing well, here in Los Angeles. And for whatever revenue projections the city made last year...they have already admitted (in an open council meeting) that it WILL INDEED be more like Zuma Dogg said than what Grieg Smith was saying.

WHICH BRINGS US TO THE PENSION: It was also said that L.A. City's financial comeback (and when I say, "comeback," I mean, just to ALMOST get your head above water, but still in a BIG MESS) is based on a BULL Wall Street stock market.

Zuma Dogg takes this to mean if we see a BEAR (down) stock market in 2010, it will be COMPLETE FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON (and the city would most certainly have to throw in the towel and declare the "b" word.)

SO, when I saw one of the financial administrators in chambers, yesterday, I flat out said, "The city is rolling the dice on it's financial comeback on an "up" Wall Street market."

The person agreed, AND EVEN ADDED, "That won't get us completely off the hook, there are still challenges, but..."

So I said, "So then if Wall Street goes DOWN in 2010, IT'S OVER for the city."

NO DISAGREEMENT, AT ALL.

So I went into my, "Is it EVERYONE'S job in the city to stand by idle and let the city's treasury do down the drain in a BEAR Wall Street market, because I am here to say it IS going down in 2010."

The person told me that they agreed with my assessment and their job is to make the appropriate recommendations based on that. (Not to change it, but to let them know they are about to get hammered on Wall Street so here's what you will be dealing with. It's very, "matter of fact," in chambers.

I think I might be the only one losing sleep over this.

So to sum it up, based on a fake budget with un-realistic exceptions and no action take all year long except cosmetic measures that were just enough to get rid of all the most experienced workers, the city will be suffering a wave of unavoidable firings; causing a loss of services throughout the city (it will be VERY chaotic) -- and on top of any new homeless out of that category, the city also announced the housing authority will be releasing a wave a people into the streets and the city did nothing but build all upscale housing while ignoring the affordable stuff and approving the emergency shelter money for things like the Grand Ave Project cement park, that isn't going to house a single soul.

I URGE YOU TO PLEASE FOCUS YOUR EFFORTS, NOT ON THING LIKE REDUCING COUNCIL SALARIES WHICH WASTES A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY AND ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING (cause $1.2 million savings is NOTHING compared to the BILLIONS you should be looking at)...

AND PLEASE DO NOT DISCOUNT THE HOMELESS ISSUE THAT IS ABOUT TO SPIKE DRAMATICALLY OVER THE NEXT YEAR AND TWO YEARS!!!

PLEASE, PEOPLE...DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHETHER THERE WILL BE ADVERTISING ON YOUR LOCAL PARK BENCH, OR A FLORAL PATTERN (which is an actual issue I was forced to suffer through at one of those Mayberry Homeowner Meetings I checked out, recently. )

YOU MUST FORCE COUNCIL TO CREATE HOMELESS SHELTERS NOW...

FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE...

THE ONLY PROJECT THAT IS GOING TO SAVE THIS CITY IS EMERGENCY SHELTER.

DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO MIRACLE MILE, OR DOWNTOWN WHEN THE HOMELESS PROBLEM IS FOUR TIMES WORSE???

YOU BETTER ALLOW FOR OVERNIGHT PARKING IN ZONES THROUGHOUT THE CITY YOU DUMB, STUPID, HELPLESS LOSERS IN THE HORSE SHOE!

YOU CONTINUE TO AMAZE ME IN NEW AND MIND-NUMBING WAYS, EVERY DAY.

AND HUIZAR, I REALLY DO WISH YOU WOULD KEEP YOUR DUMB MOUTH SHUT REGARDING CO-OPS. YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVED YOU ARE A CONFUSED IDIOT IN THIS MATTER. STAND DOWN AND LET PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY FIGURED IT OUT TAKE CHARGE. (You are either playing dumb, or just dumb. Either way...SHUT UP!)

And speaking of dumb LAUSD school board members (past and present) I hope TAMAR GALATZAN sticks to flapping her trap over LAUSD issues -- AND GETS OUT OF THE POLITICAL HIT OPERATIVE BUSINESS. Thank you Tamar. And, yes, you sicken me and I am not spun by your "folksy-cutesy," put-on image and warm and fuzzy antidotes about how you like to bake but can't roll out a pie crust to save your life. I don't vote for someone because they take a picture of themselves playing baseball in for a flier. But sorry...that's just me. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO A ROBO CALL FROM TAMAR WARNING ABOUT THE NEED FOR MORE PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN THEIR KIDS SCHOOL LIFE..AND NOT WORRY ABOUT BEING A POLITICAL OPERATIVE. And HA-HA, now Tamar is STUCK with a $20,000 paycheck for all that LAUSD aggravation until Krackwhorian runs for the next office.
