Al GoldStein Publisher of Screw Magazne R.I.P. 1936-2013
And antoher porn Publishing legends bites the big one..
Al GoldStein, Publisher of Screw Magazine, perhaps the raunchiest magazne since Larry Flynt's Hustler Magazine passed away today at age 77 after suffering from a long illness at a Hospice in Brooklyn New York Goldstein Once quote saying, "To be angry is to be alive. I'm an angry Jew. I love it. Anger is better than love. I think it is more pure," he said in an interview in 2001. "There's so much to be angry about, because people are ripped off, the election went to the wrong person, the good guys usually lose and society sucks." And man, was Goldstein Angry.. and i mean this was the guy who gave us the middle finger salute, and who in fact showed us the real angry side of porn.. Complete with Pink shots up the wazoo... I mean he will be missed, but it does make me question.. How far in Porn is too farm? How far do you have to push the envelope to take porn from the tasteful side like Playboy and Penthouse, to that of Hustler and Screw.. It does make me wonder.... Tucsoncoyote |

*raises a glass to Uncle Al*
He was the Sultan of Sleaze. Agree with him or not, the guy was like the Larry Flynt you never heard about... fighting the system and society in his own way.

I met Al on the subway a few years ago. (Post downfall.) Even at his worst he was appreciative that people would talk to him and I got to chat with him for about 20 minutes or so. (Mostly about the glory days of Midnight Blue and Screw.) When my stop came my parting words were, "I aint from here but as far I'm concerned you ARE this city man." (And I meant it.) He smiled and gave me the finger. I gave him a thumbs up and was on my way.
Love him or hate him, (and I'd suggest doing both,) but never forget what he did for us by protecting the 1st Amendment and bringing us entertainment along the way. RIP Big Al. |

I never met Al, but I lived in the city briefly in the 80s (and was within its sphere of influence the entire time). He was the kind of crazy-ass New Yorker that made the city great. Of course he gave you the finger. You should've given him the finger back.
Here's the NY Obit, http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/20/ny...t-77.html?_r=0 and this touching piece http://www.theatlantic.com/entertain...rapher/282575/ Stern's the last of these characters. It saddens me to see the city's public hair shaved, Screw Magazine replaced by Sex & the City. the streets safe and sanitized, pimps, hookers, and porno theaters gone. Anybody have any issues out there? I'm amazed there's only one issue here. http://www.vintage-erotica-forum.com...screw+magazine |

Oh I was far from complaining that Al gave me the finger, I walked away smiling because I considered it an honor that he felt enough of me to do that.
Here's a tumblr with tons of Screw mag pics. http://screwmag.tumblr.com/ |

I didn't mean that you were complaining. I meant that wouldn't giving him the finger be the appropriate salute? !
