The FBI, NYPD and Me
I just moved and while going though boxes, I came across this gem from 40 years ago that I haven’t seen in just as long.
It is a memo from the FBI to the NYPD, five months after Screw began. After reading it you will be as puzzled as I am that as a pioneer in this business, no one (aside from Booble) has offered me a job. I broke the door wide open for this business to thrive and now that door has been slammed in my face.
I was arrested six months after this Memo was written. Keep in mind that everyone talks about Hoover being a faggot now, I did it when he was still alive.

Al,
I am honored to yet again leave the first comment on your latest blog entry.
Nice photo of yourself testifying. Post more of those!
Good job calling out Hoover as a cocksucking faggot back in the day.

Al, I'll give you a job. Your job is to enjoy the rest of your life; fish, read and empty your mind of tsuris. Join a Cult, volunteer your time to an Old Folks Home and tell them 'Stories From Screw'...for entertainment and stop living in the past. You've become like an old 60 year old Cunt who still thinks she's 20 and that men want to fuck her. She's 'old news', and someone needs to strip her of the mini-skirt and tell her to stop flashing her fake tits around town...no one is interested.
Fight the power!
The pornography of today isn't even worth prosecuting!
Al Goldstein Rules!
Speaking of the pornography of today will SCREW magazine resume publication in the near future? I've been told that its current publishers have been unable to comply entirely with the requirements of 18 USC 2257. However, I suspect that the Feds have been persecuting the current owners is that they no longer have to contend with someone like Al Goldstein who would have both the conviction and the fortitude to deal with the Fed's bully-boy tactics.
I intended to say in my previous message that the REAL reason why the Feds have been putting pressure on SCREW's current owners is that Al Goldstein isn't among them. He's that articulate and intelligent type of guy who, in his heyday, would have defended himself admirably in a courtroom. Also, I suspect that the current owners got themselves into trouble by putting out SCREW issues who covers were far more explicit and raunchy than anything that was produced during Al Goldstein's reign.
Al, in that photo, is that Harry Reems sitting behind you?
Screw was a beloved porn epoch unto itself. One in which you once honored me, a journeyman smut stud, to write for you. And this is why I'm one of your supporters. Because although much younger, I'm an older soul than you.
Where once you thrived now you are a survivor. Cherish the memories and don't ever let kids downplay your legend. For one day they will be old but anonymous. Porn will never be the same because father time tends to destroy the original greatness of everything. From film to music to smut.
Now you suffer from the worst of the isms. Ageism. Yet you have benefactors. Ask Penn and Teller to set up a gig for you in a Sin City brothel as a porn carnival barker. Be the Howard Cosell of public porn speaking or live sex shows. Or get a good publicist and go on the carnal lecture circuit.
There is more value in you than just the glory of the past. Go and reinvent youself. Look what Donald Trump did when he lost his golden touch. He went on TV and became a reality show celebrity. You should do the same.
we are shopping a reality show about me called My Pal Al. know anyone who may buy it?
AG
You should try Showtime. They did that Family Business reality show.
You're no good at taking orders from Anyone, so no one will hire you. You think you Know Everything; and while you are brilliant, you have gaps in your brains that can and should be filled up with information from people smarter than you are. Open your mind to others...you'll find life easier to live.
the title "my pal al" sucks. the show should be called "fuck you."
my pal al is a great title. FUUUCK YOU!
Maybe you're presidental campaign is doomed to fail, but that doesn't mean you have no future in politics. If you'll try running for governor or mayor of some town (or even a city council member) you might get some luck. If Jesse Ventura can do it, so do you!
Al,
If you get bored, tell us about the whore your uncle bought who deflowered you on your 16th birthday.
Mitch Haase
hey everrybody I toook mi stuppid pillls thiis morniing! : )
That is some interesting historical memorabilia.
It seems like Hoover did anything but focus on his real job, which would have been keeping Americans safe.
Thank God he's not in charge now while there is a real threat to our safety and freedom in al Quaeda et al. I'm sure the guys they have now are not perfect, but they are way better.
From: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/louie/louie.html
"We've all been there. You're at a party, a bit liquored-up and dancing like a loon. Then "Louie Louie" starts to play and, suddenly, you're one of the Kingsmen. You're howling the lyrics when, during the third verse, you realize that you don't know the lyrics.
"Well, J. Edgar Hoover once found himself in a similar predicament (sort of). In the early-1960s, the FBI boss and his troops investigated whether the song's lyrics violated federal obscenity laws. Triggered by complaints from parents and other tightasses (who sent the FBI copies of the supposed "Louie Louie" lyrics), the G-men struggled to determine just what it was the Kingsmen were singing. But even when they slowed the 45 rpm single down to 33-1/3, the agents remained stymied. This was one case Hoover's boys couldn't crack."
It's just incredible on what kind of bullshit tax-payer money was spent back then.
BTW Al you should submit that document to thesmokinggun.com. I searched that website and no material related to you was found there.
Louie Louie, The Kingsmen, The FBI and Al Goldstein
I'm surprised the FBI didn't find a connection between The Kingsmen and Al Goldstein! Goldstein singing background vocals on the song or some shit like that.
God knows what you hear when you play the record backwards "buy screw buy screw".
Pathetic.
I would have given my left nut to see J. Edgar Hoover busted in an airport men's room for being queer.
Al,
How many of the master tapes of midnight blue do you still have?
...or were they lost thoughtout the years?
I've seen the whole dvd collection, but know there's many more years of the show not included.
Is there anyway to upload non-featured footage on youtube?
I know the world would enjoy it!
Sincerely,
Eric Montoya.
Al Goldstein in 2001:
"Jennifer Lozinsky was an elitist Jew who felt that her cunt did not smell from fish and yet as soon as she walked in my office, I heard the tune "The Shrimp Boats Are Coming." She was a typical elitist cunt who thought that her shit didn't stink. She disapproved of me and I had her assistant indicted."
a douchebag whom i will not name conned me out of all my midnight blue master tapes. he sells them and i haven't seen a penny of the profits. i do not support those dvd compilations excepts that excellent documentary that was made about me. but the talented guy who made that film got screwed over just like me. fuck bill lustig (oops, i just named him.) i hope he dies of cancer.
I'd wish that Bill Lustig would release additional MIDNIGHT BLUE DVDs.Unfortunately, I strongly suspect that he'll stick to putting out DVD editions of the old Hammer horror movies from the 1950s and 1960s that don't include the celebrated nudie scenes from the european versions of those movies.
Al Goldstein is a porn poineer. Booble is going to heaven for giving him a job. I doubt they make money from this.
Second, porn goes on and on, like sex, like the human race. It IS annoymous. It IS timeless.
Al, you are depressed bout sex? That makes you like every other guy on earth. Welcome to the crowd. Young chicks don't want to fuck you, no one does. You are old, ugly and broke, like the rest of us. That is what porn is for.
lustig is the first living piece of shit on earth.
yours,
AG
Is public access television no longer in reach? why not pick up where you left off...? maybe on live pod-cast? I'm sure there's profit there.
reclaim your fame al!!
Sincerely,
Eric Montoya.
Why doesn't Bill Lustig sell his MIDNIGHT BLUE master tapes to someone else since it seems that no new MIDNIGHT BLUE DVD volumes will be produced in the future? Is he THAT anal retentive? He gives me the impression that he's one of those mother-dominated, middle age comic book fanboys who feel uncomfortable when it comes to collecting adult material.
I wonder what will become of the bound volumes of the SCREW back issues since it appears that SCREW magazine has ceased publication? I hope those volumes don't end up on Ebay since they'll end up being stored in some collector's attic for an eternity or two.
hey cecil,
you nailed it. that is exactly what he is. add in the fact that he cant get laid because he is such a fat ugly fuck - makes for a very angry, unlikeable, lonely piece of garbage. i cant wait until he dies.
AG

jEpo8m Thanks to author.
Hello all!
Al,
is there anyway to contact you directly. I know of an adult company looking to bring someone in and you might fit that bill..
Yet even to this day, not a single, solitary shred of evidence exists that proves Hoover was a faggot. Not even one.
