letter to Linda...




Hi Linda.
So sorry to hear that you have become afflicted.
I say a little prayer for you and think how much I have enjoyed your music after I discovered it.
Serendipitously.
I loved it all.
You made it all worth while.

The Late Show
with
David Letterman.
Prime TV played the whole outro last night.
Thanks you guys.
The band was hot and Sid was grooving.
you bet!


Tranzit.
bus 835.
What a noisy bloody thing it is.
can you please fix all the bloody rattles and equipmentpleeze.

Just got back from town.
There in the family shop staring me in the face was an almost mint copy of Bug Jack Barron.
whooooooeeeeeeeee!

go the kakas... the altar song: rip Elmore Leonard







farewell Elmore. It seems as if I grew up reading your novels and watching your flicks.
now its all over.
All over.
they dont make 'em like that anymore.
Gary Indiana.
Love to come dudes.
You need a fresh vision.
All those cars, all that steel, all gone.
Sound City. Neat doco last night on Prime TV by Dave Grohl.
Too much dude. I enjoyed every minute.
All those people.
all that music.
Its all over.
and
Predictable.
Yesterday Kathryn Ryan banging on about bullying.
AGAIN.
Wasn't she.
She is the worst in New Zeland.
Isn't she.
It starts a the top, doesn't it.
NObody really knows anything so they fake it and bully the plebs.
easy.
Isnt it.
I dont suppose she watched Sound City last night.
Neil YOung was telling it like it is.
You do it over and over until you get it right.
And you listen to yourself.
Got that!
Nobody in New Zealand wants to listen to themselves.
When was the last time Kathryn Ryan listened to her banausic interrogatives and said to herself I must do something about that if I want to be a real journalist. YOu know. OBjective and with integrity.

grumpy old men...

Hey its not only grumpy old men.
On Saturday I heard a Mrs Stewart from Akaroa relate that Akaroa has a complete system for draining off water but that nobody cleans the drains or culverts any more?
There are no standards any more.
The country is run by accountants who can only see production as the KEY indicator.
Anything else just doesn't count does it..
Fonterra, Westland Milk just more victims in the kiwi kwest for more production and the the goal of straw bosses making the men go faster at all costs just because they have the power to make the men work harder and to hell with anything else.
That's the kiwi way mate.
Dogs.
Noise.
Interrogatives.
Just like Talking Therapy now under the microscope. Its not the kiwi way to listen but to give orders.
You will become well because I said so.
Lots of noisy motorbikees because the drongos don't want to listen to anybody even themselves!
Interrogatives. Andrew "Bombiddybom" Saville from TV1 is back into it isn't he..
He has no self discipline.does he.
He is a bit limited intellectually isn't he but he has got great teeth hasn't he.
nice hair too isn't it.
He has to rely on interrogatives to bully the minions so he can maintain his self image doesn't he.
I mean whats the point of being on teevee if nobody kisses your arse?
Ditto Finlay MacDonald on RNZ yesterday.
Every second sentence finished off with an interrogative.
Wasn't it.
A very subtle form of bullying but bullying none the less.
The country is sick.
isn't it.

news from the USA.
95% of global warming is our fault.
Hey I just dont have enough stuff so keep at it willya.

monday monday, cant trust that day...


One of the great albums of the early seventies. Bagged by the English rock critics. for who knows what but the thing is if you want to become a bedroom picker then there is no better place to start than this one.
So there!!!!!!!


Young Marcus Aurelius



who do you love?

everything is going dead slow this a.m.
why?
Listened to the fugs yesterday. They co-opted some real musicians after the first album and the standard is very high.
The verse is radical and over the top but hey its about time the world got a shake up.
Its very predictable and truth to tell awful.
the problem is if you tell them about it then you get bagged for being a whatever. Don't you.
The whole world is using the media to snoop and pry and bully because that is the psychologically satisfying component of power. isn't it.
It just doesn't stop.
does it.

Found a copy of Marcus Aurelius the other day in the Family store.
Good stuff for the 65+ gang to use in contemplating the life the universe and everything else.
