Breaks my heart when my old lady is sick, she’s the best person I’ve ever known and it kills me when I can not comfort her or protect her. Up early with kid who is aiming Nerf guns at me and requiring my assistance making lists of future fireworks he hopes to buy from the big town. Can’t tell if it’s gonna rain or not, oftentimes the sky will turn dark gray but it’ll pass, we got more garden seeds in the mail but I’m waiting a bit to plant them. We need some potting soil, and really I need a wheel barrow at this point. Out here in the nowhere lands, I keep running into all these closet fucking racists, bootlick copsuckers, it’s a real drag, man. Everytime I fuck with people, I sorta regret it. I feel like I’m back in Kinticky, ya know what I mean? I got a song about it called “Southern Gentleman”. I got a lot of alone time nowadays which, ya know everybody needs some, I use it to write, but too many hours by yourself and you can start to wanna talk to somebody. I end up digging through my old storage containers looking for my former friend’s phone numbers, but mostly, they’re all dead, or too invested in tv, ratrace, holier than thou, got-mine, shitlib, pro war culture to wanna fraternize with outta style dirty poors. Made friends with the crows. Saw Sinead O’Connor in my dream. Almost noon, kid’s been up all night, still wide awake plotting excessive vacations.
Solid segment by @mehdirhasan on the absurdity of continuing unconditional military funding to an openly racist & violent Israeli government (citing @SenSanders to that end too). Truthfully, the point stood even before the fanaticism of this particular govpic.twitter.com/6CSz6VncCY
“Bernie Sanders said he supports NATO and Biden in Ukraine.

So my good friends know my first concert was Dr. Hook opening for Shaun Cassidy at the Rupp Arena in Lexington. Shaun was on a tv show called “The Hardy Boys” and I was really into his songs, “Hey Deanie” and “That’s Rocknroll”. I also liked Andy Gibb, Leif Garrett, Sha Na Na, the Grease soundtrack and everything Elvis related. My aunt’s stoner boyfriend Ben got me into the Pretenders.
My pot smoking 70’s feminist aunt gave me my first two or three records, ya know? Monkees, More of the Monkees and Lynyrd Skyyard (Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd). I used to stare at those Skynyrd dudes on the cover of their first album and think to myself, “someday I’ll have a gang of wild hippie rebels”. Sadly, it never quite came true, most of my hombres were “just visiting” cultural tourists and people who only had hippie values once a year at the bourgeoise cos-play drug festival in the woods. They only loved me in their dirty barefoot, unshaven, slumming phase.
I was probably more into Skynyrd’s look then their actual music, though later in life, I came to love summa the bands they influenced from Tom Petty to Lone Justice to 38 Special to Junkyard, and one of my life’s best friends was a very, very, very charismatic bar brawlin’, pot smokin’, whiskey sippin’, hoarse/horse laughin’ big beautiful hillbilly bon vivant named Tap who used to be the main solderer at the stained glass studio I worked at in my late teens. He was like all the Dukes Of Hazzard and Merry Pranksters rolled into one, “YEEEEHAW!” There was never question of whether he was on the bus or off the bus, he came to party. He lived in a trailer with his girlfriend, Judy Jo, and they would have me over to booze it up at their trailer bar while we listened to corny, overplayed classic rock radio and I’d do mean spirited Rich Little impersonations of our employers and friend’s parents and they would laugh their asses off. The other think that was exceptionally cool about that dude who was always being dragged off in handcuffs for failure to pay chuld support or fighting at the bar again, is how in spite of his own very conventional mustache, parted in the middle hair, wife beater and blue jeans uniform, he never fucking batted at an eye no matter how many needless extra layers of costume jewelry and feathers and sequins and way too much clown makeup I wore to work back then, it did not phase him one bit. I think our gay yuppie bosses would be more inclined to voice objections to summa my over the top Pete Burns inspired costumes back then. He was a longtime big brother figure of mine and I’m sorry as hell he’s gone, so he’s who I am really mourning upon reading the Gary Rossington obits, cause Tap loved Lynyrd Skynyrd and outlaw country and “Let It Bleed” and Keith Richards “Main Offender” and really any music really that was about, “sorry, darlin’ but I gots to be movin’ on down the highway…” (RIP)
“To all the delusional USA bots out there, let me remind you (or inform you) that there is no reason to believe that any potentially viable candidates in the next election will govern in a democratic fashion–i.e., in a way that benefits the majority of the population.” (-Aaron Good)
“Bernie Sanders, promoting his book in the UK, is asked by the BBC about Ukraine policy: “It’s not an issue that I’ve been heavily involved in, but I support what the president is doing” A year in, still no significant thoughts on the issue, other than Support For The President.” (-Michael Tracey)
“The two key reasons we know Sirhan didn’t kill RFK:
1. No bullet from RFK could be matched to Sirhan’s gun. 2. Witnesses put Sirhan in front of RFK when he was shot from behind. Would have had a chest wound from the front if Sirhan had been firing bullets.” (-Lisa Pease)
The thing about to keep in mind about boomer nostalgia for the reporting of Sy Hersh and Woodward and Bernstein is that Watergate and its aftershocks were episodes in a US Establishment/deep state civil war whose outcome was the “Reagan Revolution”…With the Rummy/Cheney “Halloween Massacre” coup, Nelson Rockefeller was dropped from the 76 ticket and other more right-wing figures were appointed (e.g. Bush replacing Colby at DCI). The corporate liberal Rockefeller Republicans basically took over the Democrat Party. The next Dem president was Carter, handpicked by David Rockefeller and Zbig Brzezinski. Later, Rockefeller soured on Carter and helped with the October Surprise plot to sink his reelection. Reagan won the next presidential election–and basically every election thereafter.” (-Aaron Good)
My old pal Jim Rinn of I-94 Recordings fame sez everybody needs some Detroit in their rocknroll and I can’t say he’s wrong. I wish they all could be Motor City Motherfuckers.
Man, I’m gonna give you an example of how slow life is in my dead end desert ghost town. I wake up about five with all the wildlife outside, you hear the coyotes, roosters, birds and cows start carrying on about that time. By nine, it’s Sunday, and my family have a cold and they did not go to bed til late, so I knew I had about ten hours of free time, so I emailed an hombre, like, what’s sup? He gets back and says hey ya wanna hang out for awhile, I can spin by and pick you up. I’m amenable to that idea cause I don’t get a lotta freetime or adult talk these days and where I live is like two and a half miles from the nearest gas station or grocery store and no one will properly fence or leash their animals out here, so it’s dangerous, there’s always internet chat about loose dogs or dog bites elderly woman. So I prefer to not attempt the long trek into town on foot. Even with a trail stick, it’s perilous and even the dogs that are behind fences are always frying your nerves with their ferocious snarling, one poor animal is tied by a rope to a tree, no collar, just twine, people are rough on animals out here, mostly they are seen as food or weapons which is the opposite of Oregon where they are seen as like objects or fowrship, nearly deified. Okay so I go outside and wait for dude. Half hour rolls by, I try to call him, but the phone is dead, I go back inside to email him, but the electricity is out. In the Gates- Reset Post Covid Normal, whatever they call it, the electricity’s just out all the time, cause The Man just gets to fuckw ith you, charges whatever they want but when it ain’t on, fuck you. So I sit outside and read my “Addicted To Noise” book by Michael godberg, another forty minutes goes by and I start fucking around in the yard, getting my garden beds ready. I got about five rows of vegetables planted and seeds coming in the mail tomorrow, so ya know, I kinda just fuss over the seedlings now. By the third hour I figures dude’s just blown me off and that’s a drag cause I mighta made a different plan had he not offered to fetch me in his vehicle. So when the computer comes back on, he emails me back finally, saying his dog wanted to go on a walk, then he needed a nap, then he wanted to be petted, and now it was almost time for another dogwalk. So yeah that is the culture here. I’m three hours in with this guy and he’s petting his dog. That particular friend is in his thirties. Most of the population here seem to be in their seventies, so they tend to move much slower than my dude. My fam did not wake up until three so I just sat by myself all day and that’s alrite, I got a lot of birds that keep me company, but yeah tomorrow is another day where everything will be closed cause everything stays closed here on Sunday and Monday, family’s too sick for school, I won’t be planting anymore seeds cause the mail don’t come til four usually, I have been working on several batches on new lyrics, but my standards have changed, like why bother if it’s not excellent? Or at least, Inspired-Dumb? So now I’m sitting here typing, cat’s in the window, birds are still chirping, owls are hooting, wind chimes in the tree, all very nice but it is like time stands still, 5:35, been up for like 12 hours. Probably would have liked say a forty ounce had I known I was gonna be by myself all day. I like to drink a forty ounce, listen to old music. I only eat once a day, at six, so at least that is something reachable I can look forward to. Everybody that Goldberg writes about interests me. I particulatly like Ramblin Jack Elliot, who kinda reminds me of my dead train hopping anarchist street musician friend and former drinking buddy and wouldbe/part time bandmate, Mark B. Been exploring Ramblin’ Jack songs on the youtubes. Kinda miss record stores.
Woke up next day resumed typing at 3:34, had dreams about floods, headlines say Kentucky, the place of my birth, is without electricity, the people who control the grid don’t want us having generators, or effective for self sufficiencey, age old agriculture know how, or real seeds, cause they want to be able to control us all with a fear program and a flip of the switch. They really do seem like deranged sociopathic warpig movie villains. Their do nothing fraud squad tv puppets do not even stand up for Julian Assange and freedom of the press, all they have ever done is moan some more about Trump. Where would any rightwing superpac corporate owned shitlib celebrity be without Trump? Guys like Biden and Bloomberg are every bit as racist, sexist, gropey, and police state booyah as Trump, but pinkhat shitlibs shrug, cause they/them put a Big D behind their names. Think about it. Was hangin’ out with a local pal and was appalled when he started kinda tellin’ me how the answer to everything is Vote Republikkan and how George Soros funds Antifa and blah blah blah. I tried to explain to him that every people’s movement is infiltrated by Conitelpro forces and funneled back into the left versus right old paradigm, but he thinks we need more law and order and I just can’t vibe with him at this point. Law and order just means they don’t like poor people. They never talk about the real criminals who are fucking shit up-Bezos, Gates, Vanguard, Blackrock, Lockheed Martin, Pfizer, Bayer/Monsanto, Raytheon. I know they’ll probably just kille Robert F. Kennedy Jr. if he runs for president, but he is the only one who can tell the truth and still get on tv, sometimes. I miss Mike Gravel. And Glen Ford. God bless Daniel Ellsberg, Ralph Nader, and Dennis Kucinich…that pro war, fake new age chick can fuck right off.

“As part of the project to expand NATO, and partly as revenge for the beginning of Russia’s Syria counter-McJihad operations, the US launched the Maidan coup. But Russia recognized what was afoot and arranged for the secession of Crimea from the Maidan junta regime. The US provoked Russia and made sure that Ukraine would not stop threatening Russia’s security red lines, ultimately provoking a limited Russian invasion that seems to have been designed more to bring Kiev to the negotiating table than to topple the puppet government. The US seemed surprised that Russia did not go all out like the US in the Iraq War. And they seem to have believed that the sanctions would harm Russia. But it seems the most damage has been inflicted on US allies and on the stability of the US imperial capitalist system.”(-Aaron Good)

“Remember anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in the Iraq war? Dems supported her while it was convenient to oppose the war. Once it becme obvious that Dems only opposed *Bush*, not the war, Sheehan became inconvenient, and they dropped her like a hot rock.” (-Ladies Jacket Club)
