One Track Mind (To Make Money)

The Blues Understands You More Than Facebook

2010-01-11T12:45:00.000-08:00

Oh the blues...the root of most western therapy.
Some may tell you how it happened. Some may tell you what to watch out for in the days to come. But whatever the case may be, a great blues artist will let you know what he or she is feeling with the music to buffer the pain. And for some folks, that's the only thing that may make sense for the time being.
Now I aint sayin' that things will be better or worse in the future, because only God knows about that stuff. What I can say is that in hard times when the heart is so cold and shaky that you can barely breathe, hardly anybody wants to talk to you. Why is that? When it's so bad that all you can think about is the pain, you might be lucky if your own family wants to be around you. And when it's that bad, you get to thinking that nobody on earth will understand.
Heh!
That's what I say to that. Because all blues artists know about this stuff. Especially when the money is gone; the material possessions have vanished; friends are happy and married. Rich people are rubbing their success in your face. And you might be stuck by yourself without a hand to reach out to.
The blues music can be part of that first step we all need to take if things are that bad. It may not be something you can rely on for more than a little while, but it sure makes for some good timing. Especially with all these social networks that people love to share their business on.
( Facebook is hard on a relationship )You could be in your worse state and see your ex lover's picture and lose all hope and reason for living. Which is a brand new thing to deal with in this world. Think about it. And when you are in that state, most people shrug you off like you are too pathetic to deal with. Aint that nice of them? Just when you need someone the most. They say that nobody loves you when you are down and out.

Now hold on a minute. Before you start typing a comment, all I'm saying is that the blues music will always be there for you. There is an entire network; a force; an army of folks that might know how you feel deep inside. Maybe not exactly. But it's a spark of hope to have some kind of understanding. Especially at the start of a new year after a decade of G.W. Bush politics! We are walking away from that and must deal with some new ideas to better our selves with.

Let Henry Thomas share his understanding with you...in his way.

A Day To Live Your Life Is All We Really Need

2009-12-29T14:10:00.000-08:00

Hey now! Do you know what to do this week?
I'll tell you.
Keep your head up and walk into the new decade with a feeling of curiosity!
It might be hard, now, to put aside the troubles in your mind. Life might seem like it has gone sideways. Well, honestly, it does tend to do that every once in awhile...

But what you don't know is what the future has in store for you. Now, don't get me wrong. The older you get the more you have to work at it. Whatever it is that you are striving for. And all we really have between rest is one day at a time. And luckily, that is all the time you need to create a future for yourself. Unless you have SO much goin' on that you need two days in a row before bedtime. If that's how you are then you might want to make a new years resolution and reorganize your life so that you have time to live it one day at a time.

The only thing that should be timeless is love, memories and music...

Get Out Of The Cold And Into Duke Ellington's Caravan

2009-12-07T10:34:00.000-08:00

Hey y'all! Winter is just around the corner. And people are starting to feel the cold weather getin' up under their skin. Money is the kindling for some folks, who are busy trying to stoke their financial fires. Hard to find enough money these days, huh? Thoughts of cold climate Christmas shopping are starting to intervene with your daily routines.
And for those who are just trying to keep warm thoughts in your mind, somehow...
I got somethin' for ya right here!

Imagine: you are out in the vast regions of a sandy wasteland; the desert. The heat from the afternoon sun causes you to sweat through your thin layer of silky wears. The canteen you have has just about a drop of water left in it. You start to feel a little woozy from the sweltering rays of that fire ball in the sky up above. But then...
...up ahead you spot a little palm tree grove...surrounding an open lake which sits across from a large fancy tent. There is music coming from inside. You run along side the cool breeze that must be coming from the lake and pop your head through the opening of the tent...to find Duke Ellington's band playing this song...

Remember: the other half of your memories are good

The Church Of Scientology Is A Fraud In France

" A Paris court convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud and fined it more than euro600,000 ($900,000) on Tuesday, but stopped short of banning the group's activities.

The group's French branch said it would appeal the verdict.

The court convicted the Church of Scientology's French office, its library and six of its leaders of organized fraud. Investigators said the group pressured members into paying large sums of money for questionable financial gain and used "commercial harassment" against recruits..." (Read More)

Well, I can't figure out why they would call it a church if they are trying to fool the people. Doesn't everybody know that God will see what you are doing? Come on now people, let religion be a part of your soul, not your bank account. And if you are going to congregate folks together, you have to give them something that enriches their hearts. Right now what the people need is some good music. If you get people to sing with spirit...well...they might just donate on their very own. That's how it's always been. Am I right? You know that I am. You cannot fool people with their own faith for too long...

Hey there good people! How are y'all doing this fine week? Got your mind on some things? Is the economy still troubling you? I know it will do that to just about anybody these days. But don't you worry for too long now. Sometimes, trouble is just temporary. Some folks just forget that. Money will cause a whole bunch of trouble, too. And when the money is bad...so is the feeling of living. And when the feeling of living is like that...you get the blues. And that's why music is so important. It may lift up your spirit just enough to get you through a day. Or an hour. Or even a few minutes. Take a few minutes and listen to the lovely voice of Helen humes.

Hugh Jackman Stops Show When Cell Phone Rings

2009-09-29T12:05:00.000-07:00

" Hugh Jackman knows how to stop the show. He did it recently when a cell phone call interrupted a preview performance of "A Steady Rain," the Broadway play that stars Jackman and Daniel Craig...

...It shows Jackman breaking character to tell the owner of the ringing cell phone, "You want to get that?" as the audience erupts in cheers. As the ringing persists, Jackman pleads: "Come on, just turn it off." He then paces the stage of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, waits about a minute for the ringing to stop and the play resumes. "

Aint that somethin'? You do realize that this has never ever happened before in the entire history of people on this planet. A private phone call from the crowd? In the middle of a play? Just think about that for minute...

A Story For The Rich...

2009-08-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody, how are you doing today? Good, I hope. It's been a peculiar month of worries and woes for people. Take it from us blues artists; we know what we're talking about. For many years the blues has been a way for folks to release their emotions and concerns when it comes to dealing with heavy issues that life brings us. Whether it's R & B, country, rock and roll, bluegrass, soul, jazz and even classical music, it is important for people to share the feeling of togetherness. So that we are able to cope and deal with negativity by changing some of it into forms of positivity; the music.

Today's youth has brought about hip hop. Which some of us old folks are still getting used to. This very popular spoken word form of music and entertainment that allows us into the minds of these youngsters is important. To me hip hop was a natural development from the blues, jazz and R & B genres. It makes sense to have hip hop as one of the cultures story telling voices. More and more people have become so dependent on words because of the media and communication technologies, that it was inevitable for this to happen. So every once in a while, I try to tune in to what some of these youngsters are saying. They are getting more and more honest with their story telling, too.

I was reading some news today about the progress of this nation within the past 8 years. Economically riddled with confusion, this country has seen the money evaporate like a drop of water on a hot skillet. And as the new administration attempts to figure out the problems, the conclusions seem to come up the same every time. The poor and middle class folks are losing their money to the rich.
Here is a quote from the Huffington news:

" If the economy's growing, but middle-class and low-income families are falling behind, then the growth must be accruing to the top of the scale. And that's exactly what happened. "

And so I thought of this little hip hop story. From another perspective. Listen up, now...

Thank you Mrs. Stim for the kind words. Must be a real music fan. I know I am. It becomes a remedy for confusion when all you see is the hectic headlines in the world news. Sometimes the blues is all we got. But up above beyond the blues, I feel the blessed beauty of it all. If you have lost that freedom of thought then maybe you need a little spice in your life. Hmmm...maybe you need to Jazz up your day or evening. A nice glass of whatever tickles your fancy, a smile to the heavens above and a little dancin' to move the soul. Sound good? Good. Because I found a great sound track to go with that...it happens to be a classic tune from Miles Davis...and we know his kind of Blue.

Hey Everybody! Long time no talk to. I been away on virtual vacation, here in Netsville. Wonderin' about these financial blues that seems to be everywhere. You look left, you look right, up, down and all around...I don't even know, really, what to say about it.
One thing I can say about it, though, is that when ever I have the blues...I gotta play or go get me some blues music. But with all this economic frustration, I can't afford to buy any. I can't even support my own peoples music. It's a shame, I know. But, Lord knows I aint the only one. Some folks are lookin' around for some kind of remedy. And don't really have a way to pay nobody nothin' in exchange. Do you understand what I'm sayin' here?
These are hard times...

But then I stumbled across a brand new website that's just givin' away music for free! Now I aint talkin' about illegal mp3's that are gonna get you in trouble. No sir. I'm not even talkin' about PD4U. That's a good source of blues, but old news. Old songs, too. Good songs, though.

How Long will it take for Obama to Check the Banks?

U.S. Planning to Reveal Data on Health of Top Banks

"The Obama administration is drawing up plans to disclose the conditions of the 19 biggest banks in the country, according to senior administration officials, as it tries to restore confidence in the financial system without unnerving investors." ~New York Times

Most of us forget that in order to restore the economy for everybody, we are going to have to be patient. Now, I wonder about that these days. It takes so long for us to agree on simple things like health care and environmentally friendly energy. Besides...we are still waiting...while every other country seems to be relatively ok with those issues. And on the other hand we are moving so fast with the speed of technology, there doesn't seem to be a way for us to even know if anything is working. This is a mutual affair here. It's between all of us, wouldn't you say?

Hmmm...I wonder now...

How Long will it take Obama check the banks?

Hey Y'all!!

He did it! Can you believe it? Everyone is excited and running around with smiles.

Well...ALMOST everyone. It seems that in Califofnia prop 8 passed. Which means that

marriage is limited ONLY to hetero sexuals. Which MEANS that gay people will still have to pay taxes. I think that's what they are upset about. They are REALLY upset.

So while millions of people get to celebrate civil rights for black people, 221 years of constitutional upheaval, slavery and segregation...gay people are in the street talkin' about tax cuts. I 'm thinkin' now that maybe they should have waited for the next ballot. You know...first get the right people in office...THEN change the marriage laws. But they wanted to do it at the same time as the biggest election in U.S. history. The black and white struggle had to be settled at some point in history, right? And that was a long struggle that finally came to it's resting point in the eyes of our new elected president. It was the main event. And MILLIONS of people are just trying to feel good about it. But the very next day after the election the Gay people were in the street protesting inequality because they want TAX CUTS.

Personally, I think they should have let black folks enjoy themselves for THIS one. For at least 3 days. That isn't alot to ask. 3 days of smiling would have been nice. But now they are saying that 7 out of 10 blacks voted for prop 8, which negates the whole feeling of celebrating civil rights...so NOW we are hated by a new group of people who are trying to fight for their civil rights. And most black people are trying not to get upset about this one. Because of the whole historic quality of this particular election, remember? We shall over come and all that Jazz.

It's confusing, I know. The only problem with protesting on the same day as other people are trying to celebrate? You will never have there vote again. But any black person will tell anyone trying to get their gay marriage rights...at least you got this far. Black people had to go even further and push even harder. Black people had to come together, stay together and start with their own thing first. It's America. Some people in this country still don't like gay people for some strange reason. But that's America. You have to keep on keepin' on. It'll happen for you if you just keep your head together.

Sara Tavares - Balance

2008-10-21T12:35:00.001-07:00

Hello everybody, how ya'll doin' THIS week? If you are like me then you are smiling. Because I have had no money to lose. Sorry to say, but some of us are TRYING really hard to feel bad for the elite, who just aint used to it like some of us are. This no money thing is a way of life for some of us. I heard recently on this thing called the NPR...that's national public radio, that the elite equestrian world is having a difficult time managing their horses. They are unable to keep up with the bills AND feed to keep the horses. So, I guess, some of them are gonna have to choose between the BMW or the Andalusian.

Anyway...

As this beautiful young lady, Sara Tavares, would say, Balance is the key. "Balance" is the name of her new World Music hit. "Balance" is also the name of her album. Which is great because that is indeed what the world needs right now. Some balance. So it's no surprise that her song is number one on the World Music charts. Aint she fine? You should hear the sound of her voice. It will make a man stop and listen, I tell you that. I just wish I spoke Portuguese a little more than I do.

So I will leave you a link to her song and a link to all of her info and stuff.

2008-10-09T12:20:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody. This world has gone completely crazy. Look at this chart here. I don't think I need to say much more about it. I was reading about the 1960's last week and was pretty impressed with all the civil rights movements and protests and what have you...
But now...well...if you are reading this then I should not have to explain what I'm saying, at all. People have gotten SO lazy, it's almost unforgivable. All the work that my generation did? It would break the backs of Blue Toothers today. Shiiiit...it's no wonder the men in charge have it so easy with y'all. No offense, but all you people walkin' down the street Blue Toothin' LOOK insane. You may feel like you aint. But it don't matter. The view from the satelite screen says that y'all LOOK crazy. Go ahead and say what you want about it, but y'all look crazy. Which makes alot of sense right now because the world IS crazy!

Which makes music a wonderful thing.
Am I right? You know that I am! How long has it been since you realized this simple comparison? How long has it been since you have sat down and ignored your cel phone, laptop and television just to LISTEN to some good music? Well...that's why I am giving you a chance right now to answer this hypoctritical question.

That's Blackalicious. I would tell you all about them except that I don't really have to. You see, all you have to do is listen to one of their songs. And I happen to know how to hook that up...right here...right now. Just click your little arrow on the the word below that says play...
And you will understand what I mean. Blackalicious is an intellectually stimulating experience that moves you in the hip area of your body. Almost making you want to hop around. But not too much that you miss what they're sayin'. I'm startin' to respect these young cats more and more these days..

Love Everybody...make them feel good about themselves...

2008-09-27T12:45:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all! And how ya doin'?

Let's see here, now...I understand that they had a presidential debate last night on TV. It's all over Netsville.

It was good, too. Every time McCan't said somethin' about this country, he mentioned the fact that Obama didn't understand. But when Obama said somethin' he made them both look like they understood what was happenin'.

Which is a clear message to me that he DOES understand. Not to mention that video that's circulatin' around Netsville about the contradictions that involve McCan't speeches. My favorite one is when he was standin' somewhere in the middle east talkin' about Al Queda to a camera. Then one of his partners whispered into his ear that he should be talkin' about Iran instead. And McCan't had to say sorry and correct himself. I was havin' an lol.

Oh and then when Obama reminded McCan't that he was singin' Bomb Iran to a nationally syndicated broadcast....ooooh wee, it was like one of them old karate movies. And then after awhile it just started giving me the willies, ya know? And so I'm lookin' into McCan't eyes tryin to figure him out. Because he's just too old to lie like the rest of them young repubs. If you look into his eyes when he's talkin' it looks to me like he don't really know what the hell he's talkin' about...

Now when Obama speaks, regardless of how pragmatic he may sound, he makes you feel like he's tryin' to love everybody. And that's what this country needs right about now...

I found the perfect song for this topic...

Y'all have a little laugh now and then.

Gary Davis: You Got To Go Down

Reverend Gary Davis. He has got a fine message for all of us today. If you can take a minute to try and understand what he's sayin, you and your companion might make it through another week. We got money problems, political issues and war to deal with everyday. And what Gary Davis is trying to say to everybody is that you have to go down. And that's all he is sayin'.

You can interpret those words into whatever you want, now...but believe me...when your wife wakes up early in the morning SHE might look at you and have her OWN definition...

"The bankruptcy of Wall Street powerhouse Lehman Bros. and the first sale of securities rival Merrill Lynch are sending shock waves through the financial system, multiplying the danger to the nation's economy."

-sfgate.com

Hmmm...sounds like the Blues to me.

And now all these folks on "Wall Street" might understand what it means to feel like this. Ya know? And quickly now, before the feeling goes away, sit down with a musical instrument and try and write a song about it. It aint that easy now is it? Yeah boy, that's why you have got to respect the songwriters of the late 20's and thirties for all the work they have done. I mean can you imagine the "REAL" depression?! Nobody could google nothin', back in those days. You couldn't get on your mobile phone and talk to somebody about it ether. You just had to deal with it. Somehow, some way folks had to let it exist in the mind and heart without no real option to choose from.

So take a look down this page if you got a minute. All these songs were written around that time when hope was not even a fiscal possibility. Respect your country music, your blues music, your opera and show tunes...All these musicians and artists were just simply giving folks a remedy with no real solution. Which is what we needed back in them days.

The Message

2008-09-09T18:54:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all...how you doin out there? Here in Netsville there's plenty of time to ponder on just about anything you want to. Been listening to hip hop recently. Not the new stuff. But the old. If I want to listen to the newer stuff I always go to Mp34U and search their hip hop section. It's alright, you know? But some of these youngsters don't realize where the original message came from, sometimes. Folkes like me and Blind Lemon Jefferson and Mississippi John and Robert Johnson...we paved the first road to drop ALL of them rhymes on to.
Anyway...like I said, I was browsin through Netsville and I found a classic rap song from the 1980's. Funny how that's the past for y 'all and it's the future for me. So check it out. And tell me if this artist aint sayin' the same thing we was tryin' to sing about back when times was REALLY hard...

Jerry Reed is in heaven now

2008-09-04T14:01:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all. I just heard some news about country singer Jerry Reed.

He has passed on into the next world. He was 71 years old. That's a good, long life for a country singer. He started at a young age, too.

I aint no country picker on a guitar like he was, but I sure do have respect for an artist who keeps his fans happy. And that's exactly what Mr. Reed did. He even acted in the film world, too. With none other than Burt Reynolds. Smokey and the Bandit. I heard that Burt

Reynolds gave him a Trans Am one day. It was just like the one in the movies, too. Anyway...just givin' my respect to a fellow guitar slinger by the name of Mr. Jerry Reed. Rest in peace young man...

Rest in peace.

Oh yeah, and she's around here somewhere. I just found a song that her and what's his name done did. Dorsey...TOM. Georgia Tom. That's his name. Kitty'll make you forget 'cha own name, if you know what I'm talkin' about.
Well...here is a song that...uh...oh yeah...Tom was singin' one mornin'. I don't know how Kitty feels about this song, but I bet she had somethin' to do with it...seems that she ought to be happy about somethin'. But you know how some of these women get. Always gotta say what's on their mind, even if they get a moment of happiness. They seem to find what's wrong somewhere...

Mp3 4U Band Geek

2008-08-31T16:51:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody, howz it hangin'?
Yeah boy, summer is leanin' to the left a little and
Fall is closin' in and some of us are gettin' all anxious
about it. I wonder if the women are acting the same, this
time of year, as they always did. I remember them pretty little gals and the
way they would get ready for a long cold winter. Prepare
in the fall, is what they would do. Yeah, that's right. Except
the women are smarter 'n us and never say exactly what it is
that they are doing. Aint that right fellaz?! Cuz they are all
out there, as pretty as can be, lookin' for a nice man to snuggle
up with all winter long.
Heh heh heh...
Now I aint got to deal with that mess at all no more. In fact, what I have is something that a lot of folks call precious. I have all the time in the world.
I do. And I spend it wandering through the endless space of Netsville, here.
I have the time to discover things that I wouldn't have been able to find, back in my younger days, what with all them gorgeous women runnin' around in the sun, half nekkid, and sweatin'. Know what I mean?

(sigh)
But like I said, I got time to browse, now. And when I get to browsin', I be findin stuff.
So, once again, I found something new.
At MP34U.
It's one of them source folk. He calls himself 'Band Geek'
Peculiar name for a person, I would say. He sounds like a horn player to me.
I can tell by the songs he puts up in Netsville. The thing that struck me odd about this particular source was the fact that he has ALOT of songs up. In fact he has 232 songs up.
He's gotta be married. Only a married man would find enough time to do something like that.
His musical taste is all over the map, too. Which makes him an interesting choice, when it comes to selecting a DJ of sorts. Or now we call them an 'MJ' That's Mp3 Jockey, in case you weren't payin' attention. The other thing that I noticed was that 232 songs represents something else. 232 is a number that all of us Americans should be familiar with, right? Do you know what 232 symbolizes, here in this country?
Do ya?
I'll tell you if you are correct. But not until the next blog...

Just think about it.
Every American should know this number.

While you're thinkin'...

Am I a bucket 'o glass, or somethin'? Did I just get looked right on through? I mean what damn meeting did I miss? When I look up and see that I was just being heard for what? For nothing? Do you know the trials and tribulations that some of us have been through to write these songs? Lordy, sometimes I swear that these folks runnin' stuff and throwin songs together just don't understand how some of US folks feel...

I mean hey...it's not a bad cd. That's not what I'm sayin at all here. In fact for what it's worth, it's actually a good compilation. It's modern, I know...and, uh...I aint really into the new, new shit, but if I was...I would have to say that it's a pretty good throw together...what concerns me as an individual artist is...they should' a put ME on it first...and I wouldn't be here right now telling you about it...

Britney Speared on LiveLeak.com

2008-08-22T12:24:00.000-07:00

Hey Y'all...check this out...
First of all you have to look at this picture of this LOVELY lady.
Britney Spears, right. Everybody knows who she is, and that she is a singer/performer type of girl. A dancer, too. Somebody has taken the time to shape her in to a celebrity, if that's the correct word. To some of us she is an American pet/media-slave. Go ahead and take a nice long look if you want to.
You done lookin'?
Me either, but anyway...see, what had happened was...

SOMEBODY recorded exactly how she sounds when she is singing live. Which means that what the audience hears USUALLY is her voice on top of a recorded track, plus effects. But SOMEBODY got a hold of JUST HER voice alone...
So...hold on to your seat and try and listen to exactly how she sounds without the extra help that she usually gets.
It's painful, but it allows you to really appreciate the folks who can ACTUALLY sing...

Good I hope.

Once again I was checkin' out the sounds at Mp34U and I noticed something. There is this one guy that comes up pretty regularly as a source for music.
Subverse.
That's his name. He must live at the computer, or somethin'. He posts alot!
But whatever he is doin' I am starting to appreciate. I mean I gotta admit that with all this new music out here in the world...there might be TOO MUCH.
I like someone, every once in awhile, to let me know what's good. You know...a second opinion. And it's easier if it's just one person.
Not everybody tryin' ta tell me everything at once, you know?
So if we were gonna vote on a source for Mp34U.com
My vote would be for Subverse. He seems to be slowly hippin' me to the lateset sounds, here in Netsville...
Alrighty...I guess I'll be back later with more Subverse picks...

The world in a nutshell...

2008-08-01T11:22:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody. How y'all doin' today?
Good, I hope...
I must say that here in Netsville, things are always up in the air. I guess depending on what you are looking for. Sometimes you can find some really uplifting things to read about. Sometimes you can find some really depressing stuff, too. Either way it all sounds like this word I googled last week. This word I'm talking about is 'dichotomy'. It means a mix of things that don't necessarily work together, working together. Sounds like accepting the good and bad as one to me. Or two opposites that fit like a puzzle. Whatever the actual definition means to you, to ME it means looking at this world with an attitude of acceptance.

I found this article about a congressman apologizing for slavery. Which is a dichotomy in itself, right? On one hand it might be a good reset button for current times. On the other hand it's an insult to 300 years of complete bullshit. Excuse me for that, but it's true. And it splits the minds of black people in two. Which is good if you are into multi tasking, but a headache on top of everything else that we already have to live with. Life itself is already a struggle for ANYBODY, regardless of creed, color or religion.
And so...as I am digesting this information...I find this article : Driver runs down Woman
Which didn't give me time to even let the first article I was reading settle in my head.
It just made me think about another apology.
But a moment of clarity happened for me shortly after. I thought about all the good people I haven't read about yet. Must be thousands of stories out there about goodness. To balance out the terrible tragedies. This world might be full of nuts...but don't forget to stand back and take a nice good look at the whole tree, sometimes...

Alright y'all...lemme leave you with a song I found at Mp34u.com (my favorite music site).

200,000 Berliners support Obabma...

2008-07-24T14:54:00.000-07:00

200,000 Berliners support Obama?

Well...the brother's got some momentum, don't he? How can you stand by and not cheer this man on?! It's amazing the way he's got so much love and support over in Germany, of all places. Meanwhile, his own people here in the states are ready to watch him jump into a bowl of burning oil. They want to see him fail, so that some of these same republicans can continue selling their righteous beliefs like department store merchandise.

What Obama is doing is what people want done. They want a connection to a voice that can interpret this American dichotomy into something meaningful. He is like a great singer in search of a greater band. Anyone that has talent like he does needs to backed by a group with the same amount or more. America is the band and Obama is the singer auditioning.

At least that's how I see it.

It's good to know that America can be seen not for just some product for sale. I know we got Blenders, Lawn Mowers, Tractors, Vaccuums and i phones...but Obama is starting to give us the idea again that America has heart. And he may be able to put this gigantic heart in the right place. And the rest of the world might actually begin to accept us as 'part' of it, and not necessarily the part in charge.

The news can hardly keep up...

I remember somebody tellin' me one fine day, " Son, you is crazy...aint no black man evuh get NEAR bein' the president of THIS United States...you must be talkin' 'bout some OTHER United States....I bet grandma'd wake out her grave if THAT happened...you crazy..."

Well...now look around. AM I crazy? Hmmm? Wish I could sing about it. Hard to sing if you only a couple dimensions wide. Maybe one day, though.

I know a song that old GW might be singin' soon to mother earth...here...

check this song out...

-play-

Soon the history book of presidents might look like this...

The N word? Again?

2008-06-24T13:26:00.000-07:00

I just saw an article in the sfgate.com thing. Somebody won 168,000 dollars. You know how? A black man sued somebody for using the N word at work. Holy Moly! When did THAT start happening?

Anyway, I was gonna say something about it...but I looked on the comment list, and somebody named Uncle Samurai already said it.

Here is the link to the comment.

The comment that Uncle Samurai left explained a little bit about the lingering effect of slavery,

and why the N word is still a bad word to use.

And the company Novellus wants to let us know
that it aint acceptable...

S.H.

Bear the truth...

What's happenin' y'all? Been surfin' round Netsville today. I saw this article written about some wild animals up yonder. The polar bear. Now I know...what does a blues man have to say about a polar bear? Well...here's what I have to say...

The foot bone is connected to the ankle bone...the ankle bone is connected to the knee bone...
And with no foot or ankle to stand on...you gonna start trippin'.

And so... what the Bush folks are sayin' is that they don't care about NO kind of connection at all. They are sayin' WHO CARES about a damn bear?! The Bush folks is sayin' that oil for fuel is way more important than the polar bears. Because oil for fuel is money in their pocket.
But
The Polar bear is connected to environment...the environment is connected to the rest of us...
And if you disrupt the balance of things...y'all gonna be REALLY trippin on some stuff...

Now it don't matter none to me. I'm safe here in Netsville, USA. But all a y'all havin' kids might need to check these fools some. Them Bush folks don't think ahead more than their next bank statements...

Think about it some.

Dow DOW

2008-06-13T11:44:00.000-07:00

What's all this stuff mean? We used to say dow dow when were showin off a point in a braggity kind a way. I wonder if it's the same thing now. Dow Dow...how ya like me now?!
Hmm?

This world is very strange, indeed...yes suh...

Ms Lennox and the bird she gave them...

2008-06-13T11:19:00.000-07:00

Hey there people, how ya doin? I'm gonna take my liberty
to a level that I have never taken before. I know that talkin' 'bout a woman is one thing. Talkin' 'bout a White woman is something that folks like me might never get used to. But here I go... Annie Lennox was playin' in New York the other night and was not impressed by these young, rude and ignorant folks in the crowd. Ya see, back in the day, we used to give out respect in order to receive it. And what some folks in this particular crowd did...was NOT that. See...if I was there playin'...I would of just walked calmly INTO the crowd and slapped somebody, maybe. Maybe.
I can't really say...because one, I was not there...and two...I aint even a real person. But what I DO know fo sho' is that somebody like Annie Lennox oughtta get the respect that she deserves as a performer, a woman and most importantly a talented artist with experience. And so...naturally... she flipped them the bird before walking off stage...go girl.

hmmmmph

Makes me think about unbirthdays...do you know what an unbirthday is?
Have you ever been bent over somebodys knee bone for an unbirthday spanking? Maybe it's time for some of these youngsters to have THIS kinda party.
Go Annie...I think you are alright to give them the magic finger for that...
