Wake up, John, I think I've got something to say to You
Its'a almost Noon and you know we've got an Album to do.
Extrapalated Paul Mc Cartney early 1966
News flash. Sarah just announced the weekly meeting of the office staph where all the germs can get together and plot the overthrow of the United States government by the Philipines. I was just lying down this morning kind of sleeping through Stephanie Miller and now the Latino guy comes on and I realized that over breakfast, where I seem t get a lot of my creative ideas lately - - I had all these ideas for "points" I wanted to instill in my next blog posting. And for every "point" I'd give about five examples from my own personal life to illustrate it. And then I was just lying down and I'm thinking "screw it; I'm too tired to do it". I was even too tired to get up and make myself another pot of coffee. Sometimes I think the democratic party is sleeping through this campaign. According to Stephanie the Obama campaign organizers have been sleeping with people at Bane capital and now they are saying that it would be "unfair" to attack Bane capital in this campaign but that this is another topic that will be "off limits" the way all the George Bush abuses were "off limits' in the 2008 campaign. And now for one of those life examples. As you know I didn't get that many records at the Broadway shopping store but two I purchassed in the spring of 1975 were "Love it to Death" by AC and "Red Rose Speedway" by Wings. If some movie producer were doing my life just as in that scene in "All the President's Men" that Woodward says never happened, you could have me in a conversation with a friend saying "Why would you get THOSE two albums? They're awfully old and musically behind the times". Of course there is that line in the opening song on "Speedway" that along with the lyrical gibberish goes "Who you gonna sleep with?" Like I say the democratic party is already in bed with Wall Street. Are they in bed with Bane Capital too? You know many of us suffer from "fighting the last war" in THIS current season. I think the Democratic campaign comittee is trying to do a rerun of the Stephen Douglas run for President in 1860 because you know that worked out so well. There areas where "They just aren't going to take a position" or they are going "To leave the decision to the individual states" Like I have suggested they do on gay marriage. But Randy Rhodes points out that "Civil rights expansion when put to a vote of the people will always fail". Of course there is another album I purchasses at this same Broadway. On Friday November 16th of 1973 I bought "Mind Games", and that album had only been out a week or two. I didn't waste time buying that one. In those days I had my brothers fast turntable that he purchasses from Bob Q back when he was rooming together with a bunch of guys in the house on Menerva. And as such with the fast turntable I was "acclamated" to that speed. So there would be songs such as "Tight A$" by John Lennon I'd be doing these hand gestures at the radio as if to say "Pick up the tempo - - pick up the tempo". Well, I certainly wish the democratic party would "pick up the tempo" because they'll be left at the starting gate if they don't. Let me tell you a "Steven Douglas" campaign will not "DO IT" in this year of 2012. Bane capital is an example of Romney being caught with his pants down - - and I want all my reporters out there taking snap shots when it's happening. And if he wants to get dirty and bring up Jeremiah Wright- - then we'll talk about Religion too, if he wants. Obama screws up to conceding territory before the play even starts in a certain unique stupidity that no football captain would ever endorse. They move the fifty foot line over to their own thirty before the game ever begins and all the lines on both sides of the fifty are either skewed farther apart on the Republican side, or really tight together on out side where time and space are distorted and space shrinks and time slows down so that we delude ourselves into thinking we're making real progress when we aren't. The President needs to do something to really goose up this Recovery or he's a screwed Duck in November. Because as it can't be repeated too many times- - of the better party has the wrong set of statistics working against them, even all of their other brilliance will go for naught.
Sometimes as you know- - people say "Oh we are going through really hard times". For instance the Great Depression and World War II were tough times for America. But ironically the suicide rate went down during this period. People had a sense of purpose. And so people from my parent's generation never heard of "Post traumatic stress disorder". They solve all their "memories" problems of the stress of combat bu never bringing them up in conversation. And then the whole generation collectively says "You know- - actually it wasn't so bad". And yet other periods are actually WORSE than they remember it- - because they were mentally sleeping and were not fully aware of the dangers. Nineteen-eighty was such a year for this country. The year began with George Bush talking about the "Voodoo Economics" of his far right wing whacko opponet former governor Ronald Reagan of the land of fruits and nuts here in California. By the end of the year this man was President elect, and his "whacko policies" would become law- - and not only that but his ideas and those of Jude Juaninski- - would be the pervailing political attitude in America- - and are to this day. For my own life such a period where things were actually worse than I remember them was the first half of 1966 and it begins with my "Rittalin Gitterns" during a concert band audition, which I failed. My Dad might have liked to be in the position of "Pink" if you believe our take on that, and occupied the body of John Lennon, because it'd be a good opportunity to catch up on a lot of sleep. I think it was this date of damn close to it- - around May 21str of 1966 when my Dad was scheduled to see a new doctor about all of these horrible pains he was having in his innards. His doctor at work told him it was "just nerves" and refilled his tranqualizer prescription. But this new doctor said "I recommend you be admitted to the hospital immediately because I think you have a bleeding ulcer". I think I remember the events of this weekend - - - . Wasn't that the same weekend we had our carpets clean and the smell lasted a whole day or more, or was that the weekend before. I think Dad had to drive us to the beach because it was a warm day and you-know-who wasn't available to take us. And when we got back from doing that, since it was a warm day - - then Paul began testing out speakers and compare the bass response and say "This one has a real throb to the music that this one over here doesn't have." Also Paul had just gotten his drum set not that long ago [St. Patrick's Day at White Front] and played a lot. And I think the whole thing was wearing on my Dad who "seemed to be going through a lot of other stuff anyhow" that he never really told us about but I'd like to know what it was, because it caused him to withdraw considerably from church life. And of course my Dad did indeed have a duadenal ulcer. Now in my case just last week I myself didn't like a diagnosis and so went to a specialist at her recomendation- - and was given a clean bill of health. So sometimes getting a "second oppinion" works the other way, too. But there are people in the Romney campaign who want to "Go Back" - - to - - some imagined past. Does his campaign REALLY want to "Go Back" to how it was during those troubled Bush years? Somehow I don't think so. We are told if Dodd Frank were repealed "All of the banks would start making loans again" and we discussed this at length in a previous posting. What magical thing is supposed to "Happen" that isn't happening now. NOW we ARE making real progress on a lot of economic fronts such as domestic oil production and trade balance and maybe even the US dollar, or deficet as a percentage of GDP or private verses public sector growth. All of the Stats are ones the Republicans SAY they want. But we know we didn't GET even to where we are now with our unfulling progress- - by Prayer and Fasting or whatever it is Judy suggests we do as a country. It's, like a doctor you take sensible measures such as avoid stress and watch the diet and get enough rest and stuff. I heard Newt Gingrich say once that 'The very evening I am elected president' you're going to see a whole host of positive economic signs. I think "Forward" is an excellent campaign slogan. The Republicans are howling like scared dogs over this issue because they know that word "Forward' is so effective. It's a hell of a lot better than "Backwards" harkening to the analogy of getting the car out of that ditch. So right now I suggest we take Bush's advice and "stay the course" and add a touch of hate tword Bane Capital and the former President, too.
