It's four o'clock in the morning, damn it...
Listen to me good.
I'm sleeping with myself tongiht.
Saved in time
Thank God my music's still alive...
Chanelling Sir Elton... And, actually, it's three o'clock in the morning.
And, Sr. was in bed with me til I got up.
But, yeah, thank God the music I love is still alive and around... Man, I love that song... Someone saved my life tonight, Sugar Bear.
Almost had your hooks in me, din'tchoo Dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied.
Alter bound, hypnotized
Sweet Freedom whispered in my ear
"You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high away, bye bye..." And... that's all without looking up the lyrics. I learned those words when I was just a kid.
(And, no, not last week.) I think maybe I'd better go see if I can find EJ's Greatest Hits, volumes 1 and 2 on CD.
I used to have the albums.
I miss 'em, too.
Miss singing with 'em. I remember when rock was young.
Me and Suzy had so much fun.
Holdin' hands and skimmin' stones.
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own.
But the biggest thrill we ever got
Was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock.
While all the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock,
We were hoppin' and boppin' to the Crocodile Rock..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh, but they're so spaced out.
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful.
Oh Bennie, she's really keen.
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit.
You know I read it in a magazine.
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daniel is travellin' tonight on a plane.
I can see the red taillights, headin' for Spain.
Oh and, I can see Daniel wavin' Goodbye.
God, it looks like Daniel.
Must be the clouds in my eyes..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Y'okay.
Wass'up widdis?
Why am I having an Elton John concert in my head?
And, is John Lennon gonna make a "surprise appearance"? Or maybe David Bowie?
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes....
*grin* Ya know what song I haven't heard in AGES? A Well Respected Man by the Kinks, I think. "And, he's oh so good.
And, he's oh so kind.
And, he's oh so healthy in his body and his mind.
He's a well respected man about town.
Doing the best things so conservatuvly..." That what I remember of the lyrics.
I can still hear it being sung.
My Mom had that 45 when I was really little.
The label was orange. Oh, and remember the Beatles 45 labels?
They looked like yin and yang done in yellow and orange. I liked the Motown label too.
Hell, I like Motown itself.
Motown and that disco/soul/70's music... *coupla minutes later* Ya know what?
I had a reason/point for sitting down here to write and... this wasn't it. Big surprise, huh? Though, I must admit, that this *points up at previous paragraphs* has been more interesting than what my point was... which is "politicians", kinda. See, I seem to have annoyed a friend of mine yesterday in what I said about the three dead celebrities, specifically Ford.
Then, Reagan. So, I thought I'd better explain... It's not so much this country I was dissing because of who ran/runs it.
I have other reasons to do that, if I were of a mind to.
But, even though I feel that way, I don't say too much about it, other than to point out, remind, and remain pissed about the way Nam vets were treated when I was a kid.
And, truthfully, that whole deal was the genesis of my "lack of respect for" this country. I mean, I love it, yeah.
But, it also needs it's collective ass kicked for the shit it's done to it's own, let alone everybody else on the goddamned planet EXCEPT FOR those towel-headed assholes who flew planes into buildings and the like.
(And, about that... that we didn't begin on September 12, 2001 to make those murderin' cocksuckers sorry was the ultimate "See what I mean? Damn." example EVER...) Maybe I just love this country enough to expect better, I don't know. But, when you shit on your own vets and let people like Bin Laden have any kind of repreive lasting longer than about 10 minutes after he pulls a stunt like 9/11, you're just not gonna garner much respect from me.
Sorry. Not to mention the fact that "this country" locks up people for smoking a friggin' WEED and lets murderers go free.
We have a death penalty we don't use.
We have people right here in "this country" who need help... little kids of our own who don't even have beds to sleep in when they go to sleep hungry, yet we insist on helping everybody else first.
Nice, but... damn, ya know? Who are we to go around telling anybody else how they oughta do shit when we don't even do shit the way we oughta? "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", huh? Right. Hypocracy.
Quite a lot like lying.
A thing I hate and that politicians do more naturally than breathing. Whom do ya think that I think "this country" is? Politicians. They're what's wrong with this place.
They're who made it like it is.
They're who keeping making it worse, too. And, it does not matter one godforsaken BIT which party is in control, either because they are ALL a buncha of opportunistic, lying, side-stepping, buck-passing, money wasting, troops killing, assholes whose interest in economic health and amassed might goes no further than "their own". They lie, cheat, probably steal too and...
THEY CAN BE BOUGHT. End of story.
End of fairy tale wherein they are our "Fearless Leaders", doing what's good for this land of ours. They can be bought, therefore "owned". And, if even "regular" people allow themselves to be "owned" in any other way except owned by a love they share with someone (and sometimes even that one way doesn't work out too well, huh Rob?) then they're pretty much useless, as far as integrity and their word meaning a damned thing goes. That's bad enough. But, when it's the people who're running this country, that's just so damned "bad", I can't even think about it. So, I try not too. Which is why when Reagan died, the uproar annoyed me. I mean, come on... the guy was 200 years old.
He had no memories left in his head.
He was completely helpless and it was a shame when he died, when he got free of that condition?
Please. And, again... I don't pay much attention to this shit, but wasn't there some little deal about him trading arms for hostages? *raised eyebrow* So, he wasn't any worse or more wonderful than other dude whose done the job and I just don't see where they're to be so revered and their death lamented upon any more than someone like John Belushi or Sam Kinison's deaths were. Hell, at least Sam and John made people feel GOOD.
They made you laugh and forget how badly the stupid politicians were (and still are) screwing things up.
And, yeah John died a senseless death, but at least he didn't take an entire country full of people along for the ride when he made HIS stupid decision like politicians do every day. And, now that I'm thinking about SNL, we don't need to have a huge hooraw over Ford dying.
Chevy Chase is still alive.
And funnier.
And, less dangerous to the country as a whole than any politician. So see, I wasn't picking on the US.
I feel sorry for the United States. It's a country full of some really good people, like say... Darrel Buschkoetter and Sr.'s boss and Bruce Springsteen (the early years) and my Dad and Visladog and it has works by God in it like gorgeous mountains and lakes and eagles and cats and horses and calves and some damned good dogs. It doesn't deserve to be drug through the mud, have it's name worldwide known as "Hypocrtical Bully" or whatever they do call us. This country doesn't deserve to be so many poker chips in a political poker game. We don't deserve that and no matter who we elect, it always becomes more of the same.
And, that happens because that way, that system, is so firmly entrenched in Washington DC.
It's historic.
It's the way things are done.
And, either the FNG's go with the flow or they go home. There's too much money being made by those bastards for them to allow any changes being made. And, to hell with us and the US in the meantime. And, that's why I have no respect for politicians nor do I give a shit when they die. It's allll about them and the state we're in and whatever part they played in getting us here. And, jeez, it's not like I said they should all go to hell or anything.
(But, now that I think of it... *wry grin*) Anyway...
I probably wouldn't be very nice to a politician on my best day and yesterday wasn't that, by a long shot. Today is better.
The cold is relaxing a little.
Or, I'm getting used to it, one... Whatever. Also, and just by the way, my own Dad thinks I'm insane when it comes to politics.
I pretty much like whoever the cuter one is and have no idea about any of it and I can hear his hair falling out when it comes up. Which is also why I don't usually get into this shit. I look at it all, from a distance, as a necessary
