merry christmas on the far side banks of jordan...

Got JOhnny's song on my brain this am.

Still its a good 'un.

I am hating doing htis because even though its xmas there are still many jerks out there determined to jerk you around if they get half the chance just to piss you off.

LIke the place I used to go busking.

It is not in front of a shop and people just keep going.

But the owner of the premises thinks he has a a right to get you given the boot and he doesn't like christian songs.

tough titty dude.

The last time he did anything I felt threatened by this large maori guy who wisely didn't do anything but he came past about three times trying to make up his mind.

Then he called the council.

Today the same thing happened.

I felt myself under close scruting from a very large maori guy.

Race aint my bag but this guy seems to have a hotline to large men.

then two of the 'parkers' arrived but as everyone knows they have no power to do anything.

If they did then thye could get rid of the idiots and their noisy cars from the main street.

But they cant and they dont.

Then mr Big arrived to check out the outcome of his machinations just as I was playing that old sunday school beauty " Jesus LOves Me".

The geek wouldnt look at me and as he fumbled his keys to get out of the way I changed the words to Yes Jesus Loves You (and he does) and the jerk went red in the face and redder even as he couln't make his lock work in time for him to slink out of the spotlight.

merry xmas to you sir.

and

This really hurts.

The chrisrtmas carols on saturday night were moved from the park and into the church ( I wont say which one) and the whole things was a shambles.

the masterton brass band down one end trying to tone it down while the god botherers who had the mikes at the other end were trying to outdo the band while the poor people in the middle didn't know which way to look.

the mayor was there with his bodyguards who hadn't even bothered to change.

It was awful.

peace on earth goodwill to all men.

and nuts to everyone else.

especially the New Musical Express.

Love wil tear us apart is not the best song ever written in the last 60 years..

are you guys whacked out on something?

pseudo trotskyite nihilism?

I prefer Apeman by the Kinks.

black caps.
