I got on the shuttle for Tuttle!

*G*

I think of Ry Cooder on this song.

Tuttle!

Evening, Ya’ll…! ;-)

I was going to go with Ry’s version, but, it’s was a two-parter…! *gah*

Part 1… Part 2… 8-)

EPU’d from watertiger:

On YouTube you can learn how to solve quadratic equations, and learn the binomial theorem. Step by step, and at your own learning rate. How cool is that!

Or, H, you can listen to a master.

Hey CTuttle and doggies!

Aloha, M’dear…! ;-)

Hey yawl… and Tuttle. Giving the cows with guns a nite off?

That’s some heavy duty old school funk rock there CT, with JJ Cale!

I wondered who the other pickers are . . .

Here’s Christine Lakeland, Second Git.

The Lady Harp Player (chromatic harp!) is awesome, too.

Big day for Rand Paul!

How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live

More bluesy was my mood this eve…!

Ya need a Bong hit, M’dear…? ;-)

Aloha, Sunny…!

It’s amazing how versatile Ry Cooder was…!

Aloha Tuttle! Sorry I missed the armed cows – love ‘em.

Hey Loo. Dare I ask – what’s up with Rand Paul?

Wonder how many of the Kentucky Teabaggers have smoked a bong, and what they think of Rand kidnapping a girl to smoke one. Not to mention the whole religious aspect of this…

More Bluesy, Two Masters.

Charge: Rand Paul tied up teammate, tried to ‘force her to take bong hits’

I’ve never forced Bong hits on anybody, ever…! ;-)

Check it out!

Was?

Man’s goin strong!

The ‘H’ is silent (and invisible). Hey, newt!

Back in ’06 I chose the ‘andle as an anironical offering in the HD/Hi-Def/High-Def/High-Definition scrambles, which blew-wreigh won.

Neil Finn is new to me, as far as I know.

Ry is old to me. In one particular year – 1980 – I listened to his Jazz LP every day.

blew-wreigh

LOL!

Sweeet, Larue…! ;-)

Bromberg, Big Band, Bluesy!

I’m a big Bromberg fan . . .*G*

Neil Finn is new to me

Think Split Enz.

Think Crowded House.

And a nice body of solo work.

king snake

Crazy fun!

I do like some of those Southern whities that can play some of those blues…

Feats don’t fail me now…! ;-)

A couple of years back, I got to see Bromberg and the Big Band at Strawberry Music Fest. A month later, he pulls thru Sacto for a one niter in a 300+ small club. Simply incredible. Had NEVER seen him in the past, but worshipped him and his music over the years.

Glad ya liked that one! He’s great, a showman as well as a great talent.

*heh* Once again I bow in your prescence, your highness, Queen of the Utubes…! ;-)

While you were typing … I read about NF @ Wikipedia. I’ve heard of Split Enz, but only of. I’m truly on the other side of alienated.

Hard to get any more old school original blues than that.

Nice!

Southern hayall . . . .*G*

SoCal is NOT Southern.

Even Alabama wouldn’t have it.

*G*

But I’d take Little Feat ANY day!

*G*

Not so alienated. They remain a ‘down-under’ phenomenon, but American musicians describe Finn’s writing as that which makes them hop planes to New Zealand without argument to work with him.

My abusive boyfriend[ rebound shit] forced bong hits on my little brother. I consider that a fucked up thing. Have always felt guilty for bringing that piece-of-garbage person into my family’s lives. 40 years and still feeling guilty.

Great stuff! Hey, Miss Suzanne, great to see y’all’s fonts! You doing okay?

What a dozing crowd at that performance! John Lee had to say Ry’s name twiced, like no one heard him the first time.

Well, The Gyro’s just beat Cubbies in the 11th!

Puts my Gyro’s 1 game behind in the West.

Two more games with Cubbies, and in comes division leading (as of tonite) San Diego for 4 games!

We got our selves a pennant race out here!

Woohoo!

Richie Hayward has a donation site, he’s waiting to get a liver transplant, his cancer is in remission.

It is important, everyone, that you DO NOT miss this.

Does your little brother remember it?

That’s sad…! Ironically, my first high was from a batch of brownies that my Mom had just baked, and my lil sis and I scarfed up…! Needless to say, Mom was pissed, and, we didn’t have a clue what the f*ck had hit us…! ;-)

I don’t know if this is the argument FOR prop 19, or against!

Oh dear! Was your mom worried?

i’m doing ok… enjoying the lake while not being backstage is a treat :)

I see a lot of comments all the time of folks been to festivals, concerts, especially outdoors. I went to bars. Started when I was 16, went to the bars in the Hill District in Pittsburgh where they’d serve. Always loved the bar clubs and the music in those places.

Hadn’t been following, thanks for the update.

Got to see THEM at Strawberry Music Fest in ’05.

NEVER thought I’d ever get to see them in my time.

Wisht I’d had seen Lowell . . . . but they were great.

Seemed like their set went on forever . . . *G*

Song after song, all major hits on the raydeo decades ago.

*G*

Proper gourmet cooking.

The NoZe Brotherhood – Animal House!

Proper ‘possum care is scraping them off the hiway and putting them onto a grill with lots of seasonings.

*G*

That was hilarious!

*G*

My brother held it against me for years. I’d been physically abused by the same Piece-of-Garbage .My brother couldn’t understand the depths of fear and control that are components of abuse. I was 17, how do you know how to truly make amends? I had to op for running away from The Scary Person. My family relationships suffered for years because I didn’t communicate what was happening, and they couldn’t see.

Oh My God!!!! Your poor Mom!!!

Fuckin’ pull up a lounge chair, baby.

We were not about to OD, but, I do remember saying at one point or other that I was ‘flying’…! Still, after 30+ years…! ;-)

In SF Bay Area from ’68-’71 (15-19) cubs, halls and such was were it was all at.

There’d be a show with 3 bands or so at a fairgrounds, and such, sure.

Golden Gate Park had the free shows in Speed Way Meadows . . .

But mostly it was the halls, clubs and bars.

I got in to them for the most part by 16, no questions asked.

Went with older brothers of my pals!

*G*

Love love that song, thanks CT.

Then I grew up in the wrong town.
It was festivals or nothing in the bay area.

And poor you. No one should be accidently/coincidentally dosed. It has a strong reaction in regards to feeling safe.

I knew there was a reason I stopped stopping by here. I want to listen to music all night long when I do, and I’m supposed to sleep sometime.

Here’s Greg Brown referencing the Perseid meteor shower.

Aloha, Margot…! I do aim to please…! ;-)

No kidding, huh? And the Aqua Buddha! Can’t wait to see if Rand really sues over this. Doubt it though, GQ doesn’t publish without the goods!

They say we don’t need as much sleep as we need BETTER sleep. Music helps. IMHO.

Obviously, when she was growing up she was allowed to stay up to watch Father Sarducci.

What a LLN! I have a linen shirt the exact color of her blouse, and I have the same sneakers as Ry’s.

Great tune, MrWhy…! ;-)

Hope you were able to reconcile with your family after you got rid of the jerk. Sad thing for a seventeen year old…

You’re totally in sync!

already fucking there openhope

Btw, I’d truly contemplated using this Utube tonite… Tis one of my personal faves…

Surfing with the Alien…

You know, we should just let this one go. He was young, it was much ado about nothing. Unless he sexually assaulted her. It could all have been a game. But so far there’s no claim of true ABDUCTION. I, too, was kidnapped by my friends when young and impulsive. We also stoled construction signs from Market street in San Francisco during the 10 year project to put in Bart.

I’m getting tired of this idea that politically powerful people only have sex with their spouses, only have Jesus-Like pasts, fuck, we’re a nation of hypocrites.

i was listening to eugene earlier

…fuck, we’re a nation of hypocrites.

Indubitably, M’dear…! Nobody’s perfect…! ;-)

I am impressed! (Where we went was what Lois Armstrong called Darktown. Mostly we heard what the radio was calling ‘rock and roll’, but it was Jass. The Jewel Tones playing Tequila, their Way. And some ten years before your first tours. When I heard Ten Years After and saw them (Monterey Pop? Woodstock?) their name made beautiful sense.)

We never spoke of it much. After the fact, I tried to explain to my brother that I didn’t have the personal power he thought I had. But, that’s a hard thing to explain. Most people assume you have more control over your life than is true.

Your Christine Lakeland linkie didn’t work for me, maybe you meant this tune.

A wealthy woman (and dear friend) some 30 years my senior, 45 years ago told me, “You never really know someone unless you sleep with them or do business with them.”

I wouldn’t mind, but for the hypocrisy. The teabaggers are all supposed to be such strong Christians that they can’t stand the thought of a Mosque in NYC, and here’s Paul making a forcibly stoned (and abducted, possibly) girl worship the Aqua Buddha…just a lot of potential fun.

How true it is. Yet, we all need to think we know…..
I like to think I know that Dick Cheney is in critical care with a severe and painful heart condition that doesn’t allow many pain meds. But how do I KNOW he can’t have all those pain meds?..

*heh* JJ and Leon doing ‘Cocaine’…!

When?

“read(ing) Ferlinghetti out loud”

double-u oh double-u

No, I just tried to link her own website and her ‘about’ page . . . musta left off something in the html.

It’s there to google . . . .

Gotta run Pups, nice chatting and musicing.

Best to all . . . .

Blue Riders

Stay well, Larue!

Goodness… “Trouble In Mind”

Pleasant dreams, Larue…!

Very nice. Thanks.

Kidnapping aside, sounds like Baylor was the pits..

Stupid ass Frat Boys are Stupid Ass Frat boys. The Congress is made up of Stupid Ass Overprivileged Frat Boys and a handful of Sorority Girls.
We’re so screwed.

Open Hope if you do decide to get arrested and want to talk about your media strategy let me know, I’m happy to make some suggestions. I’ve helped tons of people with their messages.

Optimistic as always, eh O’hope…? ;-)

Hey, woman. Missed your comment somehow.
Can I get you a cool drink? A pool boy?
Oh, wait, that’s sexist. Okay, just a drink.

Fun! Miss McConnell looks just smitten with Jack Conway, and poor Rand looks left out.

Except for the Sorority Girls, it was SAFBs who wrote the Founding Docs.

2008 wasn’t the best time for our first African-American POTUS. It should have been 1860.

I have a friend whose daughter came out of Baylor owning $100K. Hope it was worth it…

can i take a rain check openhope? am headed to a long soak in a hot bath — sans pool boy (its a small tub)

g’nite all

My current suggestion has to do with two video cameras, one in the hands of someone filming you and one you are wearing that is hidden. The trick is to have the police or the people you are protesting see the camera and then if you are taken away you will be taping what they are really saying after they think the camera is gone.

I came up with this idea after reading about how the Bush people pretended to be Secret Service and kicked them out. If they had video of that encounter, that guy would be fired and the tactics of controlling the box would be seen by all.

Aloha, Suz…! Ya at least got yer rubber ducky, right…? ;-)

Night, Suz. Hardly knew you tonight!

Aloha, spocko…! Congrats on the century mark…!

I’m having very serious thoughts on this strategy. I’m not into pretending. My thoughts are leaning towards civil disobedience. As they always do!!!!
I’m very fond of the slogan “Unfuck This Congress”. But, most Americans wouldn’t know what the hell that means if it were flashed at them.
So, it’s time to dumb things down.
Or, in a Zen way, maybe present them more simply. ?
I have no plan. I’m in this alone. So I have to focus on that aspect of singular protest. I’ve done many events as a behind-the-scenes person ,but I’m not a “front end” person. So, I either need a media driven partner, or I’m going to have to hire nubile young strippers. Someone has to love the camera!!!!!
I’m thinking on it.

Sweet dreams.

By the way I thought of this hidden camera vs. Public camera years ago. I even bought one. You we not allowed audio with it so I had to get it from Thialand or some thing. The video worked but the audio did not.
I sent it back but it got lost in international mail. :-(
But my point is is that the Media will not cover you the way you want so you need to be your own media.

And you then have your own record of what went down.
And you can also make sure the full data is available.

Oh my god, that is our next National Disgrace. The Ponzi Scheme College Tuition. Don’t even get me started on our U.S. Education fiasco. I can rant on that one!!!

My thought is that you need a team of people you trust.
You need a thought out script.
You need art.
And a husband who accepts the idea that bail isn’t an option.

I do like the French means of protesting…

French farmers have dumped gallons of milk and piles of manure in front of government offices in protest at low dairy prices.

You’ve read last month’s New Yorker profile piece about Julian Assange. Am I right or wrong?

…a husband who accepts the idea that bail isn’t an option.

Within reason, M’dear…! Bail can be pretty exorbitant ya know…! ;-)

“Look out, Haskell, it’s real!”

Whoosh?

I have lots of chicken manure. But I’m not going on a much needed vacation with chickenshit in my luggage.!!
We’re leaving right after the broiler chickens are “culled”, but I’m not bringing chicken guts either! Though they are powerful.
We need to keep thinking on this.

Do you remember the guy who wrote soy bomb on his belly and went on stage at the oscars? He had no follow up message. Millions saw it and were perplexed. But he was doing it as a dada art thing so that is okay.
Protest is theatre and getting arrested is an act
In the show. It’s conflict to show serious intent.

You need to thing about unusual parts to your “show” so you get coverage.
Lots of people’s protests are stuck in the 1960′s “what do we want? peace! When do we want it?” Now! Or hey hey, ho ho. Some
Thing something has got to go.”
I hate thoses! “the 1960s called they want their chants back”

No, I didn’t read it. But, I’ve made a point of listening to his interview on Democracy Now and reading his other interviews. He’s 10 millions times braver than I am.

Yeah, I agree. Call and Answer only works with cheerleaders providing the answers.
However, If I had cheerleaders……………………………….

*oof* What’s a poor lentil stirring, DFH to do then…? ;-)

True. But we did it for ourselves when we crossed that threshold.

Those ‘protests’ very early on caught the media by surprise. Oh, they weren’t even called the media yet. The media’s biggest mindfuck was how to pronounce ‘harassment’. They were played, and they never forgot or forgave.

I’m just a mother ,of grandmother age, who wants to speak out against the evil our tax dollars are doing to destroy so many other families. I don’t want to be a hero, I have a fantasy about being heard for a nanosecond. One tiny nanosecond. To say I’m so sorry. I wish I could help your families, but I’m powerless, worthless. I’ve been given no voice by my President of Hope And Change.

Actually, being a Vietnam Protester in my teens, we were throwing rocks and running like hell before the gas,dogs and hyped-up cops moved in. It was ugly.

Yes you need a team. And a script (messages) and art.
You also need a narrative. What drove you to this? What is new or different about this arrest now?

Novelity and x vs Y are the few political stories left unless you want a sex scandal.

Let me tell you an idea I had. I was going to go to a radio hall of fame with a boom box and play the audio clips of one of the morning hosts they were honoring. I decided not to because I didn’t have a team and I was
Not prepared to be arrested. I decided instead to send the audio clips to the attendees with a note “this is the man you are honoring.” and I included his clips calling for hanging of liberals and the genocide of iraqis.
My goal was to embarrass him in front
Of his peers not get them on his side if I spoiled the event. But if I did spoil the event it would have been news.

It’s probably still online. It reads like a great movie made by your favorite filmmaker.

Reading this made me think our our Loudoun Lib:

Leesburg Police Chief Joseph R. Price said he is confident the man wanted in Flint is the same person attacking men in Loudoun County. There are striking similarities in the methods of the attacks, but the strongest evidence is the specific description of the suspect’s green SUV, which is nearly identical in both locations.

I would refuse bail.

And by the way I built on that email I sent to his peers. When he was fired I resent it to the local radio reporter Ben Fong Torres and said,’”please don’t let them say he is retiring or resigned to spend time with family. He was fired and here are a few things he said that you should know about. Those quotes were tied to the story of his firing! I was very proud of that story. I thought ahead to what the media wanted and what they were going to probably get. And I gave them another part of the story the management didn’t want them to have.

It takes so much courage. On my side, I’m good under pressure. Sometimes more articulate when enraged then most people.
I guess I’m going to have to make the “constituents appointments” with my Congress people and go from there. Have to have an appointment.

You’re one in ten million, spocko. But we need ten million like you. Maybe more than that.

Did it work?

Hey, just looked at the time, night all. Sweet dreams.
I’ve got a dental appointment in the morning. Don’t know which is more frightening; the DRILLING or the BILL.

*heh* You’re stubborn enough to do it…! I shall bid ya’ll a fond adieu…! Aloha Oe…!

Nighters, CTuttle.

sweet, way better than moring news

Crazy mama, where you been so long
