Escape...

I need to live by the ocean or a rambling river
Just my home surrounded by the river
And a soul mate will be the driver for groceries & such
So I can stay in with my music & books
Only go out to look at the water
  






Tired, so tired.....






Tired of crowds, traffic
Tired of people who "hang out"

John Coltrane-A Love Supreme, Pt. 3 - Pursuance

This is my favorite track from an album EVERYONE should own.




I notice this got less "views" than other posts I've made lately..... I'm not surprised.... the sheeple can't handle, one of the best(maybe THE BEST) drum solos in music history, a piano solo for the ages ending with a crescendo of chords that make you wanna fly. And THEN a bass solo that sounds like you're between planets.
















Meanwhile, I'm sitting next to some fool -watching some Meek Mill crap and then, some worldstarhiphop nonsense...these are the MAJORITY.. on tv... in my neighborhood... they're everywhere....surrounding me...


The MAJORITY- the kind of people that wouldn't appreciate a genius like John Coltrane.






Speaking of worldstarhiphop or whatever...why do so many people in my "community" participate in such simpleton activities as filming friends, family members, classmates, co-workers or even, strangers, fighting, for the purpose of putting it up on youtube or stupid world star hiphop?! Why would you even "think" of something like that, unless you're a complete MORON..... ... when they're not doing that, they're hanging out, (outside) gossiping or talking about stupid things. One of these airheads was on a court show the other day, & when the judge criticized him for taking a camera with him- cause he knew his cousin was about to fight & wanted to film it- he looked at the judge like she was speaking a foreign language. Once again, this is the majority!


Here's an idea, you waste of oxygen, with what to do with your free time..... READ A BOOK!

Steely Dan-Daddy Don't Live In That New York City No More

Those synthesizers make me wanna cry.






Lucy still loves her Coke and rum
but she sits alone
cause her Daddy can't come

THINK! It Ain't Illegal! Yet!

While  NATO bombs people based on lies, (see Libya & Yugoslavia) the BBC, CNN, France24, The Washington Post, New York Times, The Guardian, MSNBC, Fox News, Radio Free Europe, etc. are incessantly trying to turn us against Russia.




Don't miss the part where one of the guests mentions that a Washington newspaper censored his article, cause it didn't fit into the anti-Russian agenda.

Someone in a documentary about Yugoslavia, once said about NATO- "Nato should stand for New American Terrorist Organization!"

Maurice White R.I.P. Part 2

Maurice White R.I.P.

Found out about this first, on France24..... wondering why no one else on tv, was talking about it, considering it was the time when the evening news was on.






When they talked about him later on the news, the amount of time they spent on him was pretty pathetic, if he was some ignorant rapper who goes on twitter, saying vile things, they would've went into more detail about his career.  Dumb millenials , are probably in charge, so they don't care about real musicians!

Straight Outta Compton NEVER spoke for me!

Aisha Tyler just offended me with her idiotic, nonsensical complaining on The Talk (Jan. 19th) about Straight Outta Compton not being nominated for an Oscar or whatever.... she said something like, about how this movie or the so-called music of N.W.A represents people like her as an African-American, in her 40s, growing up in that era. Rubbish!
I'm also in my 40s, African-American, & from the hood, & Straight Outta Compton doesn't speak for me , I was NEVER an N.W.A fan, and I refuse to see that crap. I can't stand N.W.A & their disgustingly misogynistic lyrics.  And I know for a fact that there are plenty of people of our demographic who HATE gangsta rap & don't wanna see a movie glorifying it.
And there are also plenty of black people in their 40s, who are discerning listeners who would rather hear jazz, funk or rock, instead of thugs rapping over samples of SOMEBODY ELSE's music.


Aisha Tyler shouldn't get on tv, acting like she speaks for everyone who is in their 40s or African-American, I'm sick of people acting like all members of the black community under the age of 50, are "all hiphop"!

Flashback to Let's Dance...

So the story goes, when David Bowie called on Nile Rodgers to produce his Let's Dance album in the early 80s, he wanted "guaranteed hits" or something like that, now, that tells you how much music has changed since then...   in the early 80s, you could have radio-friendly hits & still have fantastic musicianship.
Both the title track & China Girl have gorgeous guitar work, while Modern Love has some sexy saxophone during the coda. Now, fast-forward a few decades later, & if you want to get played on the radio- FORGET the guitars & saxophones, & replace it with beats & autotune!




And now, people go to see DJs in concert(!)
