woke up early this morning to make sure I didn't miss Q&A on TV1
First time ever.
I generally listen to media watch on RNZ but I figured that this time the telly was a must watch.
7am. No alternative but to watch Buffalo Bill And The Indians with the sound off and keep reading Bob Dylan IN America.
The weird thing is that when Bob went back to his roots in the 90's he started playing all the songs I like. e.g. The Roving Gambler and Duncan And Brady. Strange!
right now I am listening to the Everly Brothers version of the Roving Gambler.
A one chord job in F with a little two bar modulation at the end of every verse.All the complexity is in the narrative.
memo to Rod Drury.
Its okay being gung ho for everything but damming a river and building an urban flyover are two completely different types of grapefruit.
Great listening to Bob Harvey and Michael Barnett who both said the same thing.
The New Zealand Labour Party is not telling a story. They are just barking at every car that goes past. It is impossible to know who the advisers are at HQ but it seems they are ashamed of their socialist roots and have ADHD. They are living in a virtual world that doesn't make any sense.
They better get their stuff together.
There is always the possibility of a sea change in NZ as the electorate is fickle and maybe just maybe the Nats have worn out their welcome.
The worst thing is that the Talking Heads on TV1 somehow carry the air that they can sway the election if they want to.
ONe gets the feeling they are somehow usurping the democratic process.
hmmmmm
a
And theNZLP have to do something about their intellectual property, viz The Standard masthead and find someone who knows what they are doing.
At the moment everybody there but the party stalwarts gets a hearing and the nitwits in charge think they are being fair.
Bullshit.
They just gutless fence sitters with steady jobs and income and no brains and big ideas about themselves and their place in virtual reality.
Plus the thing is that the party has become exclusive. The patronage available now consists of being in the company of MP's and the bunfests in Wgton and they want all that for themselves so they can swan around Wellington looking important every now and again.
ps. I will vote for whatever party makes RNZ buy Bob Dylans , "Theme Time Radio Hour with Your Host Bob Dylan".
You see new Zealand has become so up itself that nothing from the outside gets a look in unless its some coke addled rapper with a lot of cash to throw around. When the number one voted NZ song only gets three stars for a re-issue in MOJO magazine then you know that something is seriously wrong with how things are done here.
when I first started at Uni as an adult student I got a bit cheesed off at all these pommy lecturers telling us that everything in NZ was done on the cheap but after a while when the eyes were opened it was startling to realise that penny pinching nitwits with no imagination are running the show.
and the number of cars with either no number plates or the rear plate obscured at night is increasing daily.
Just slipped that one in.
You never know who is reading this stuff but if you think back to 2008 when New Zealand was a P powered madhouse of boy racers tearing the guts out of communities 24/7 with Japanese (no disrespect) 2nd hand imports with no mufflers then you know that anything can HAPPEN here.
hey cool man.
Tomorrow its gonna be all the kids running round slouching like Ralph Macchio in the Karate Kid and looking TUFF.
See this country panders to pinheads and children.
Look at Bob Dyland and say Jimmy Page for example.
They could actually play their instruments virtuosotistically and they were touring America when they were in their early twenties.
Nowadays a kiwi band would have to have their mums with them and then they would get up and say they were doing it for their sister who was a siamese twin or their great uncles hernia or the dog needed a brain transplant.
Not because a. they were good at what they were doing and b. they wanted the money and most of all c. they just wanted to get up and have a good time.
thats not allowed unless you have a chainsaw or angle grinder or horizontal planer and want to make a fucking awful noise on Sunday morning!
How am I doing so far?
