I don't even know for sure what a "fifth collum" is in the military, but the term seems to "work" here. I'd like to start off this blog by talking about the link I just read from Judy featuring an interview with Donald Trump, and yes I just snagged the photo. I anticipate that this will be a lengthly posting if I incorporate all the stuff going through my mind at breakfast, when I get so many of my posting ideas, such that I'm going to have to mentally edit myself. I guess maybe that's what Rush Limbaugh may be referring to when he says "I'm doing the show with half my brain tied behind my back". "Do you anticipate a lengthly cross examination of this witness" "Then I suggest we ajourn till after lunch". Which is just what I did. So I used those minutes to catch the rest of the Bill Handel show and KFI 11:00 news. We had fruit salad for lunch with the trademark yellow cake for desert we always have with it. Leo Le Port is on now with Scott Wilkinson.
Sometimes I find myself having to re-think what I thought were fixed positions for me. It's a fact that the President's reelection come November is highly in doubt now. No President since Jimmy Carter has been in this much political trouble months before a presidential election. You know I still respect Donald Trump. I think the man is a whole lot smarter than the media gives him credit for, kind of in the tradition of Dan Quayle, where I developed the same impression. As such I'll give credence to his oppinions that I would not give to lesser people on the right. There are several issues with which we are in agreement. For one we are both against Obama Care and believe that the plan is a major jobs killer. Next I agree with Trump, as well as Pat, that we need to get tough with China on certain issues such as manipulation of their currencies and their ripping off of US Technology. I don't know is the United States is exactly a "laughing stock" but it was pointed out for one that our airports have become substandard compared with the rest of the world. As to this matter of inspiring confidence in the economy it opens up kind of a basic philosophical question everyone has to answer when they go to the polls. Should be vote for a guy who does NOT have the confidence of the American people and whom the corporations don't trust, for whatever reason and as such will not hire and will not lend. And this may be even deliberate to make the President look bad. And so come election night will we have the Gingrich miracle where suddenly people want to spend and invest because they have now put a man in office whom they have confidence in, and therefore have rediscovered that illusive sense of "economic certainty"? As to the matter of energy there was some woman from Kansas talking about oil wells and energy. The President did not say he opposed the Canadian oil pipe line. And the President, much as Trump has suggested, has come out in favor of clean coal. Trumps out that the Chinese use "dirty coal" with no attempt whatsoever to clean it up. As to Trump's remarks about Bane Capital- - I dialed away at that point. You can't agree with everything. KNX 1070 had Obama's message at 7:06 and he wrapped himself in the flag as expected. But just because playing the Patriotism card works for a Republican- - don't just think anybody can get away with it. It smacks too much of Michael Dukakis driving around in a Tank. It's just not an image that "works". We all know that the driving force behind most of the hostility to Obama is the N word. To paraphrase Rush Limbaugh only a little out of context "It's ALL about Race!" and all the other oppinions are rationalizations to bolster that driving sentament.
After this maybe at 8:15 I played Anthology CD number five, the White album, in its entirety, which runs about 74 minutes. There is so much good accoustic guitar stuff on that album by both John and Paul, plus a lot of lyrical adlibs where the artist appears to be kibbitzing his own material. As you know "Not Guilty" is the most under-rated Beatle song of all time. Sexy Sadie is missing the most important, key instrument in this version. ("Oh you mean like trying to have sex without a penis?) Thank you, Kurt for that adlib. I refer to the piano, of course. But the guitar work in that song is original and creative and the singing is actually better with a more "lilting" quality. We have Cry Baby Cry - - which has always reminded me of the "geshtaldt" of "After All" by David Bowie, which is one of the truely great songs of our time and whose importance and message actually transcends the words. Ringo's drummer is clearer in songs like "Don't pass me by". And we have that little line of "There were a few irregularities". In that mid 1976 thing we did a year ago, watch for the hidden musical message in that "irregularities' line where John plays the part of Pete Richards and Paul plays the part of GOD - - which of course stands for "giving out directions".
Then I went on computer and decided to check more in my old Firefox links that I just imported into Google. Jay Leno was doing Mustangs in his garage. Of course once he interviewed my brother on his program as an "expert" in a certain kind of car, and this car has a fan club or something that's incorporated in Al's E mail address, as you may know. So maybe that's why I decided to leave his picture out of that - - posting. Of course I remember once in October or so of 1964 when me and Mark Quakendoll and some other guy - - ("Do You mean Ringo?") No, Kurt. I don't remember the other person. And someone said "We can argue about the merits of Chrysler Corp verses Chevy, but we can all agree that Ford sucks. As I remember this group had a general concencus that Goldwater pretty much sucked as a Presidential candidate too, and Johnson was the way to go.
I looked up Weather underground and was blown away with all their various maps. I had forgotten how good they were- - and colorful. It seems there is a jet streme - - that goes from here to Miniapolis, and a wind has kind of kicked up just now after lunch. It seems the heat wave was detained, just like that happy couple in The Heiress was "detained" on their way to see the Reverent Lispenard to get married. They also had "astronomical" stuff like sun and moon and phases. I then looked at "Sheets" and clicked on the right thing to see the chard with the positions of planets and even which House of the Zodiac they were in and right ascension and declanation and all of that.
Here's a late insertion. On this date in history in 1973 "Frankenstein" by Edger Winter, became the number one song on the charts. This song is featured in "Don't Take me Alive" one of our early classic Rock Anthologies. I thought the song was two or three months earlier than that. They say that the Rolling Stones played "Last Time" in Shindig on this date in 1965. Of course it is a historic period right now because a private space craft is transporting US goods to the Orbital Space Station. It's honestly something I thought would never happen. I should be glad that private industry now finds Space Travel commercially feasable. I guess my problem is that I still don't entirely believe it.
We're actually getting through this posting more quickly than anticipated. As you know in April of 2008 there is that whole Romulan - Ionian connection stuff, or as some might call it the "Nuclear option". As in the case of Bush and congress it's a way to "get things done quickly you'd like to accomplish" but you run the risk of blowing up the whole system in the process. It's like Captain Piccard and that guy who knew the future in that one episode about the Planet that needed a "procedure" that would cure all of its climate woes- - if it didn't destroy the whole planet first. Captain Piccard made that speech of "I don't give a damn about the Future- - I'm living in the here and now and I have to make a decision. And you know - - I Choose to Try". And he succeeded. Anyhow when Kurt Cobain first became a Romulan he probably felt lucky not to have landed himself in Hell for blowing his brains out with a shot gun. Then he met Bones, who was the head hauncho and "The rule maker around here". The first thing I arrived here I met with Hilda in the office, and she was the one who gave me a list of house rules to sign. Of course in time Jim Cooper supplanted Pete Richards as The Rule maker" in my circle of friends. This pretty much worked to my advantage. Jim was also known as "The Namer" by others. And he's the one famous for the joke about the baseball umpires that ends with "They ARE what I CALL them" kind of like Adam in the Garden of Eden. When I was a kid growing up there was a guy named Brian who was pretty much accepted as "The Rule Maker" in ball games we played in the street, even though he wasn't the oldest kid. It takes a certain tallent to be a leader. Of course come about May first 1994 a few weeks later John Lennon appeared after a mystery period of about twenty months absence. One of the last recordings me made was Bowie's song 'I Pray - - OLE", with both vocals and excellent guitar work. It has HIT written all over it. And later he met Dennis Wilson. Now - - kind of in a strange reversal- - it's actually Kurt Cobain who relays messages or things I might need to know from Dennis. Of course John proved a much more invaluable mentor for Kurt than Stu, who he didn't see much at all after that.
I wanted to say just a bit more about that "Inside - out" space thing. Of course John Lennon has that song lyric of "Your inside is out - - and your outside is in". So normally we are looking IN at others from the Outside- - rather than being in the Inside looking OUT. So to speak. There is a micro verse macro saga playing itself out here too. When people say "you need to put this in perspective" they most often mean "You need to put this OUT of perspective". In other words look at the broad sweep - -the big picture- - rather than just your OWN point of view. I would like to recomment that occasionally the other person might just try looking at the issue from YOUR point of view. I wanted to say a little more about the hour glass Sand. The Sand accumulates of course. The EGO of a person is free to Expand all it wants to upward as part of his 76% right to contentment in life. Remember the sand accumulates over a person's whole life. It's his "past experiances" and once we have "experiance' on something our EGO shrinks because "We realize what we don't know". This is why I said that if Organized Religion were a Person- - the Future would be the thing it most dreaded because it's the thing that's "slowly taking away from its ego" because "People are too Experianced to fall for the same old thing again. People should use their brains as a cameral lens to focus on that THING that "God Created them to BE" she show THAT to the World. (Selah) I think this will be the top posting for this blog for the next couple months or so. Over and out.
