“Wake up, people!” he wrote. “Today the USA is a disaster. Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters, inexperienced leaders who only know how to lie to keep favor with Trump’s falseness so they can hold their unearned positions in his inept government, a Congress full of Republicans acting like idiots with no conscience.” Okay.
This is why I don’t talk about politics any more. This thread appeared on the popular Tibetan basket weaving forum 4chan last night, and I’d like to share some of the comments today.
“What’s a neil young?” “this old ass cracker can’t even NAME all the presidents in the history of the gd country.” “Cant wait till all the boomer rockers are dead” “Great music Insufferable moron outside of music He needs to meet his maker asap so that his constant angry ass will be at peace”
“>Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore.>*proceeds to write an entire album seething about the Orange Kike*” “more like Neil Old” “I swear to god gen xers are trying to gaslight me with all these fake musicians>hey anon did you hear what Neil Young sai- That’s not a real person you senile fuck” “>Neil Young still being Neil Young Remind me, when was Rockin’ in the Free World written?
Which president was it written about? Lmfao”
“honestly at least Crosby was funny. neil young is just a righteous prick. all those old fuckers are kicking off, one after the other though. country joe just died. macdonald or whateverthefuck.” “My grandma will be so excited!” “I’ll never understand why “musicians” need to announce they’re working on an album. Just tell us when you have published the album!”
and there you have it.
I could write a pissed off album I suppose, but I’m not pissed off, rather just abreast of what’s going on in the world, which I have little control over. There’s a lot of things I don’t like, but I can’t be bothered complaining about it any more because nobody wants to hear it and nobody cares.
Plaid pants…are we Slade?
Last week I edited and posted the first half of Thursday’s band practice on You Tube. It’s a continuous recording from the beginning, without any enhancements or edits to fix things. It’s how it happened. I’m going to do more of this stuff, leaving in the mistakes if I can stand them. So many band videos are stale and boring.
Exhibit A – What the actual fuck?
Everyone is posing and trying to act serious, or trying to act goofy. Either way they’re trying to act, and it’s not very interesting to me. Jon’s gone away this week so I could put together the second half of this rehearsal if my guitar wasn’t out of tune for most of it. The week before was ok, so maybe I’ll work on that instead.
Good Day
