self indulgent 60's baby boomer bulls*t...hehehehehehehe. how much fun is too much?

and that is what happened kiddies. from out of the frozen north of cimmeria came a warrior looking for a kingdom and ready to sweep away anything that got in his way.

wop bop a loop bop a lop bam boom!

thats right kids.
nothing makes any sense any more.
7,000,000,000 people today!
only 3,000,000,000 fifty years ago.
there is just too many.
creeping around like frigging ants.
all wanting stuff.
a ute. an ak47.
some more wives.
anything as long as its more than the guy next door so you can look down your nose at him.
wow.
THE SHITLIST***
population pressure.
air pollution.
ozonbe depletiuon.

water diversion.
toxic waste.
radiation peril.
species extinction.

deforestation.
desertification.
and more.

and worst of all, "self will run riot".

Who won? and Doris Day is still the greatest!

Last year I put up a piccy of sixties spunk Catherin Deneuve on the ole blog. then hey presto she gets a role!!!
Recently I put up  trailer piccies of Doris Day and now she gets an honorary award.
Maybe the studios or the academy should give me a gig or at least an emolument. yeah right.
Anyway I am busy learning the "Black Hills of Dakota".
I dont know if it is Doris's version but it sure is purty and  Doris looking at your pictures takes me right back to the Regent Theatre Masterton where I fell inlove with you at a very young age. teehee, and you still got it babe.
thank you for everything.

Waikato. We are all learners now. On the radio the guy doing tthe explaining for the surgeon who didi the same operation twice said they had learned from it. Yeah right. thats the kiwi way. When the shit hits the fan just say we are learners.So how long have they been teaching chirurgery in New Zealand?
Even Worse.
back to the waikato and the hamilton council is going to cull the rose garden. The V8 races for the drongos sucked a few million out of the council coffers and now they want to cheespare on $60 grand for the rose garden. why don t they ask the V8 franchise to stump up some money? Meatheads.
and.
Who won. drongo simon mercep on mornings with Radio New Zealand couldnt wait to ask the australian co-respondent who won the Qantas strike.
He didnt bother to ask what it was about. just who won.
this is about jobs and skills and community and you think it is just a game. You are a fool.

Its bad enough when these so called objective journalists keep using dishonest and disrespectful tricks like interrogatives all the time but to descend into who won without any preliminarys or an analysis of the issues is pitiful.
Still RNZ bases itself on snobbery and jobbery and sometimes its hard to tell which.

the election

it is an axiom of philospophy that one more thing can be said about anything and that is true enough.
However I feel today that I dont want to say anything.
that I have said all that I have to say or need to say or want to say.
Over the last month I have read Europe Divided by J.H. Elliott about the religious wars in europe of the 16th century and just finished clive irvings history of Persia ancient to modern. contrary to Edward Saids claim this history has been written by one who wasn't one.
the upshot is that whatever happened in the past the world has turned into an ugly shithole where nobody is really in control of events, nobody cares about the future and irrationalism is still the norm.
I look at Isfahan, once a beautiful oasis and now just another dreary manufacturing centre where anything that once was beautiful has now been crushed by the exigencies of creating unnecessary goods to baffle and temporarily sate the clamour of the masses.
Beauty has gone.
Ugly is all.

Accountants rule.

flying none

Its flying none at the moment. I never like any of their music. It contained a built in falsehood. i.e. most of the musicians were competent but they dumbed the whole thing down to sell records to punk wimps.
Thats the New Zealand way. Everything becomes infantilised so eat it.
Music is always about style and who controls it.
The election is sort of going on at the moment.
So far its alll Labour making policy and National poormouthing everything. thats the way its done here.
Engineer a personality conflict and then isolate the opposition.
simple but effective.
I dont even know why I'm writing this.
It seems like a colossal waste of time.
Nothing will change.
One party will spend as much of the public money as they can building monuuments to futility while the other will try and ameliorate public suffering but the level of obstinate stupidity and ability to footrip any change is the biggest obstacle to any
thing that could and would make a difference..
Social policy here revolves around lingin up relatives and promising htem an ofice and "FUNDING" and dont forget the van so you cart the parasites around in.
This is the twentieth century.
Everybody carries on as if New Zealand is the same size as the The whole American continent north and south and therefore it is too big to do anything.
Nah. We got all the smart gear but the people are still stupid!!!!!
you heard it here first.trying to listen to the arts on sunday.
the same old stuff over and over.
it never changes, does it?

okay I better sign off before I have a hernia.
and hey Dave if ya wanta get down and dirty.
Where is the f*cking money.
tightwad!

folk songs and the united states air force

The wreck of the old 97. Yes it really was true! Found an old cd the other day in the pile with no legend so I had to play it to see what was on it. all sorts of stuff by very disparate artistes. Black hills of Dakota, when the cactus is in bloom, and a version of old 97. We used to play it in our band when we learning to play. A simple three chorder that you can wind up to fever pitch with great lyrics. I couldn't quite remember the lyric so I went o the WIKI and got the whole story plus the bit I couldn't recall. Also found Rouds folksong index with 24,000 songs on it so I go t some fun things to do this afternoon.
Carterton Events Centre opens this afternoon. I was always opposed to it. That does not mean I am a detractor.
Around here if you oppose something then you are a detractor.
I have good reasons to oppose it and they have nothing to do with personality's. Just because I don't have a car and own my own house or drink booze or walk around town with designer coffees in little thingies does not mean I am stupid and neither does it mean that all of a sudden I have become an enemy of the state either.
And when you go chasing rabbits then you know you're bound to fall.
Roger Fox big band playing at the opening concert tonight.
I like Roger Fox. He has a great ear and is a very skillful musician but tonight they should have featured a community concert from al the local schools but no they have to have something wanky-cool. Next week it will be the ballet and after that the nzso and after that well perhaps justin timberlake or chrisitine aguilierra or maby barbara streisand.
You know. really put the place on the map.hyuk hyuk hyuk.
Great to hear the USAF is setting up drone stations around the world.
The USAF has been the backbone and guarantor of freedom since WWII. Without them we would be running round spouting marxisms and pretending that the millenium had arrived in the form of a scientifically sound political nirvana.

In thrust we trust!

Politics in New Zealand: Shitstorm in Invercargill!

The general election is just getting into gear.
The national government is in disarray.
They thought it would be a doddle, a walk in the park but it is not looking like that at the moment.
Events have conspired to go against the government and there is no end in sight.
The other major problem is that the national government appeal to a section of the population that is itself in need of redefinition.
The idea of getting money is to become kiwi equivalent of the English gentleman after a sufficient period of being an American cowboy.
so the pop is schizophrenic. one half wants to be running round in straw boaters drinking champagne in some sort of weird reality version of bridehead revisited/downton abbey/city yuppie while driving round in a Cadillac with cow horns welded to the bonnet.
?????????
The rest just want to get on with it.
live their lives without too much fallout from teevee and drug culture from the city ghettos in other countries affecting their kids.
the media is totally aligned with retailing goods and have completely abandoned any educative activities whatsoever as the population drowns in a sea of wonk fantasy's supplied in never ending quantities.
There is no respite or surcease.
Parties can only be elected if there is a promise of more and relief from any depredations of previous governments.
Its all very shabby really and there is nowhere else to go so we just gotta ride it out.
and the shit list grows exponentially as we congratulate ourselves for being smart asses just because we have stuff and others kiss our bums in fawning adulation.
ho hum.

Tim Shadbolt.
Things getting shitty down in Invercargill.
Watchout Timmy boy.
And hey Tim, anybody who claims a personality conflict as the basis for disagreement is only using it for a smokescreen and trying to claim that there is no possible way if ironing out any differences and therefore the matter is closed. Oh Yeah?

thats the way it was back then

no one could tell the diference.
it all flowed out like magma.

an unstoppable force that all of a sudden lost potency and will and began to fade back into the dust from whence it had sprung.
it would take a long time for that to happen but in the meantime men had things to do.
and evil to fight.
