the altar song: James gurley RIP

tomorrow big debate on sunday morning with chris laidlaw.
it is time to legalise marijuana.
it it s a tyopical kwiwi nonsense to demonise this herb.
some kid runs awya from home and does a burglary and the cops catchim and he stands up in ocurt and says the drugzzz made me do it and the beak says we must root out and destroy this evil.
noooooo.
as hone harawiria says the worst problem in youth is undiagnosed tobacco addiction and the severe consequences in lower socio economic stratas.
cannabis is indicated for cancer, glaucoma, anti nausea, encouraging appetite and creativity in blues and jazz music ( but not a guarantor for music hehehehe).
so time to do it right and allow some people some dignity.
got out heart like a wheel yesterday.
lindas greatest album.
and watched her on youtube.
andrew gold didnt play the good parts of the solo but he made his axe squonk on the changes.
some guy I know showed me the bass line to the solo.
amazing dudes.
and Bernie Leadon did his solo on silver threads and golden needles!!!!!!!!!! cant hel p it too much.
YOUTUBE
no overt sex appeal but that indefinable something.
when dolly parton made the trio record Linda was the queen!!!
so there ya go.
time for a break. .

getting funny dreams again and again

Went to town today.
waste of time.
and money.
nothing happening.
the whole town lining up for free sausages at Uncle Bills.
that's the way dudes.
otherwise tumbling tumbleweeds.
erkkkkk......
just been to the RNZAF site for some piccies for their 75th birthday but except for a meagre little gallery no historical stuff.
maybe I cant find them but I have tried before.
Is all the WW11 stuff still restricted or something?
who is hogging all the pictures?
no matter.
maybe they are all pretending to be as modern as rod fyfes haircut.
$110 to hear him and a RAF Typhoon pilot shoot the line.
sorry guys but I don't have that sort of bread lying around.
well I know what it is but
I cant explain.
Laurie Baer of the V.U.W. School of Language.
welcome to the post modern world where people just do as they like.
how do you like a 'ham of the bone sandwhich' dude?
everything in New Zealand is supplied by the lowest bidder including language and it shows.
anyway Laurie read Winton Marsalis' book, 'Moving To Higher Ground", or How Jazz can change your life.
he tells a story of some kid jamming with an old school jazzer in public and who went "OUT" as they say in the first chorus. The Leader stopped the music and asked the kid what he was doing.
"I'm just playing what I feel", said the Kid.
well feel something in Bflat motherfucker or get off the stand.
oops I'm sorry.
you are not allowed to be horrible to kids these days.

they become traumatised and emotionally scarred for life.
and you know that only their own truths count.
looking up a dictionary or asking someone is below the dignity of anyone with an ipad or a remote control.

happy jack: I can't explain

adventitous but apt!

walked past an elderberry hedge this morning nd had to dodge the bees.

every bee in ctown musta been there.

elderberry honey?

YUMMY

the corn is as high as an elephants eye.
and it looks like its reaching right up to the sky!
oh what a beautiful morning.
oh what a beautiful day.
I got a wonderful feeling.
everything goings my way.
Yep they put that one on in the Regent Theatre when I was boy.
I saw all the movies too.
Marx brothers, Ava Gardiner, Errol Flynn, John Wayne.
Humphrey Bogart was at the end of his string but some of them too.
I wasn't allowed to go and see The Fly or anything with erotic content but I saw the rest of em.
they were good too!
However I don't like woody allens movies now. they put me to sleep!
just like zorba the greek.
it did it three times so I never tried it again.
anyway.
I listened to Kathryn Ryans interview with Hollywood Doco maker Robert Weide this morning and it all went off smoothly until she tried to question him about some sort of reassessment of Kurt Vonneguts character.
there is always someone coming along trying to denigrate the titans of the past and mainly to make themselves look good. "Hey look at me", Look what I did".
congrats to Weide for not falling for it but no Kudos for Kathryn for trying it on in the first place.
ring da ling ding...
dumb.
congrats to Prime for "Amazing Journey"
5***** doco on the who.
i CANT eXPLAIN.
neither can I.
don't even want to.
I watch the Late show and Dave has this succession of pretty dorks who cant play and cant sing.
And Dave yes Felicia is better than anything I have ever seen on American Idol.
thats just chaff for the fleas who cant really do it.
where are they now?
found a copy of The Republic this morning.
dog eared and tatty but I  will give it a re- read soon.
always makes me think of the death of Socrates.
Murdered because he had no qualms about telling the nobs that because they knew something, i.e. how to make money, then they thought they knew everything.
hmmmmm.
where have I have heard that before?
I mean drongos in New Zealand who think they know everything and by the time they have gathered up their little claque they really believe they do!
anyway here are some real babes.

I saw ya...

who are you

maximum fun.
you better you better you bet.
and they dont make them like this anymore.
noooooooooooooooo...


now its all pre digested alduterated pap.
and you better like it or else.
thats life kiddies.

keep your hair on: drongo time in New Zealand again

The cancer cancer and  luekemia society are just like any other self centred organisation who think because their cause is just that the rest of the rules dont apply to them.
In particular asking people to cut their hair to the scalp to show solidarity.
how funeeee.
I dont think.
Hair is a natural soft dry lubricant and protects the scalp and the head from the sun and other harms.
there is no justification for asking people to shave their heads just for  amusement and the money gathering activities of a group of people who think they have permission to break the rules.
their must be some other way to raise consciousness rather than to make fools of selected people and expose them to other forms of harmful radiation?
dig?

Good to hear Lawrence Freedman on war this morning, 9-noon and to hear him explode some noo noo head conceits.
i.e. the grand clash of civilisations and mutually assured destruction.
its all a bit more mundane than that.
if people got down to the nitty gritty instead of pumping everything up ( and themselves ) with utter nonsense then maybe something could be done instead of running round like chicken licken waiting for the sky to fall on their heads.
btw. be careful on the state highway in Carterton running past Saint Davids Church. The tree might fall on you!
STUDENT DRINKING IN DUNEDIN.
KEEP YOUR FRIGGIN HAIR ON DUDES.
if they kill themselves then there are plenty more where they came from.
NEW TRAFFIC RULES IN nEW ZEALAND:
these are the same ones we used to have before a committee of kiwi smartasses decided that they knew best and wonked up the road rules just because they could and now they are changed back because the others didnt work.
somebody should investigate them.
see they invent spurious arguments  to cover their stupidity and THEY always seem to get away with it.
see the tree on state highway 2 running through Carterton.
and last but not least.
FAKE CHRISTIANS:
Radio Rhema has always been sus.
they rely on the fact that if you criticise them then you are criticisng Christianity itself.
No!
Only them.
they have carved out a profitable commercial niche for themselves on the back of a debased commercialanity and they think they are above any thing or anybody else.
and if you sell more than your quota of bibles this month then you go straight to heaven!
smells like the indulgences that created the reformation.
(only thing is they dont read history!)
except when they invite cmaeron slater on to their station to spread his vile, hateful crap and then its ok because they are christians. Nup.
he is a sleazebag and so are they if they encourage him.
and just one more.
the Chinese political science student bleating in the SST on Sunday.
reflect on this; when in Rome do as the Romans do.
Just because China has over 1,000,000,000 people and counting does not give you  any more or less entree into the local job market and If you cant adapt to local conditions then suck it up.
dont forget. When in Rome do as the Romans do. is this not complex enough for you?
What would Confucius say?
Or the Tao?
dont go the victim route. thats just racism  in reverse but still racism.
and it makes you look like a spoilt recaltirant brat.
and a little lesson fo ryou they dont teach in Pols 404. Dont go where you are not wanted.
but before I go a message for brian krump on the Asian Space Race.
so just where are they going to?
its just a whole lot of overgrown idiots looking for the big orgasm.
you know they want to kill all the rhinoceros' just so they can feel "horny' and just because they can organise the gear they want to make a big bang.
wooowww.
whipty doo.
there i senough shit flying around up there now and they get on their calculators, work out the trajectory and dump all the spent atomic piles into the marianas trench and now a new generation of drongos want to punch holes in the ozone layer so they can go home that night and try and get 'it' up.
clever guys.

izzat schubert

no its me man!
