ITS BEEN A WHILE - NOW ITS ALL GONE BONKERS…
Since we last spoke, there's been more that a little news to digest… Near & Middle Eastern Revolution - Hey ho, were at War AGAIN - The Cinematic Tragedy of Japan - I finally succumbed to an I-Phone - Oh and that weird flu that keeps you coughing for 4-5 weeks, what's that all about - I blame Rumsfeld… And err turning 50 - bad for the old mirror habit [no not the white line version] !!! But at last I can purchase one of those 50+ holidays, maybe take a cruise up the Fjords - or a Jamaican Cooking trip with Rusty Lee, the options are limitless, including some very good deals on your impending funeral services, I tried death once & it wasn't for me… I was also given some Bee Venom face cream from an old friend, even the Royals swear by it, her indoors also swears by it… I'm gonna give it a try, surgery for this Northerner is not an option.
Trafalgar Square looks like a war zone itself tonight, isn't it lovely how a square brings the world together, you have to marvel at the power of the square, Trafalgar Sq was named after a battle so I guess it's instinctive to want to fight there, but who would want to be a copper working the beat against that lot "ce soir" - poor bastards, they're gonna get their numbers & money clipped also, but the British Bobby isn't armed, they have truncheons, so your average angry UK mob just gets hit with a stick - the don't even know they are born !!! Even the "bendy busses" have been abandoned tonight, maybe that's worth the trouble, bloody stupid idea those things.
On a more compassionate note, you can't fail to have been moved by the images coming from Japan over the past 2-weeks, it was the so called "Big One" on the bright side they got lucky because it was low-tide, actually lucky's probably not the best choice of words, I mean apparently it could have been worse, if that's possible to conceive of - It is true that if ever there were a nation capable of recovering rapidly from such a tragedy, then Japan is that nation, but it still doesn't erase the sheer magnitude of the event, they never fail to amaze me, in adversity they will find their finest hour… Save those monkeys who run the Tokyo Electric [& nuclear] Company, those dudes must be smoking the largest crack pipe on the planet !!!
I'm looking at the front pages of the Sunday newspapers on TV - British Politician claims "Gaddafi has lost the plot" - What it took them 40 years to figure that one out in between selling the mad bastard several thousand tanks, war planes, heavy artillery & yes a face lift [he should have saved himself the trip to Brazil I have some Bee Venom to take care of that]… For those of you who admire Tony Blair lets not forget he was as recently as 2 weeks ago talking to him on the telephone, because he's a buddy… How did that one go "Hey come on Moammar old boy, give the butchery & torture a break, we were all getting along so well, me & Cherie were even thinking of coming out for another vacation, now we've got to change the EasyJet"… In Tony's case Easy-jet means something entirely different to the Big Orange planes we have come to know & not quite yet love…
Why are these Politicians so friggin naive as to think they can do an honourable deal with these tyrants, [the music business provides a first class education regarding tyrants] - "To secure the security of the region by having him relinquish his nukes" Tony Baloney was acting out of courage & fortitude - Oil & Gas revenues were the last thing on his mind - Right… And Lockerbie… Sorry there's no forgiveness on that scale, unless your the starry eyed ex-president of the UK - Starfucker - Starfucker -Starfucker -Starfucker -Starfucker -Starfucker -Starfucker YEAH !!! … Actually Gaddafi looks like a washed up rocker, he definitely has a chisley old coker-face !!!
Its interesting to note that there will be a clamp down on the so called anarchists come the day of the "Royal Wedding" a kind on pre-emptive strike against their swelling ranks, so what defines an anarchist, white cider & spray-paint??? & how does the daughter of a trolley dolly [no disrespect just a simple term of endearment] & the son of a feudal monarch [you know the free-loading type we don't approve of in the Middle East] have some extraordinary constitutional consideration on their BIG - [paid for by the good folk protesting on the streets today] DAY… I have nothing against Will's & Kate, good luck to them, she seems like a nice girl, bit skinny for my taste but hey I'm not the groom here, and it seems to be a genuine love affair, so good for them, go make love - But why are these occasions hijacked into some dumbed down feel-good factor for the peasants, to quell the growing unrest - I mean the fucking King of Bahrain, you know the one who called in the Saudi army last week to shoot his people, was on the guest list… You don't need to intellectualise the point any further, we are being sold a right old ruse… In bed top to bottom with the wrong type's, judge a clan by the company they keep…
I suppose the frustration is borne from the double standards we are compelled to accept - every stone you look under, there's a dirty little secret gnawing at your fingertips - And an Industrial Media Complex to flog you the spin, its nothing new, the Rothschild have been at it for centuries, more castles that Blackpool on a sunny day those buggers - But we live in an age where one can secure a more accurate version of the information than that which the media purports to compile… I know from first hand experience that half of what you read is utter tosh & the other half is generally about boobs, so at least there's a pleasant side to all of this… I used to bang on about the financial services industry way before the 08' crash, & bore the arse of everybody - My incandescent distaste for the Culture of Celebrity which has kidnapped & largely killed the music business, doesn't make me a popular dinner party guest at times - Yet I, like so many others, are baffled at this "famous for fuck all" quagmire we are swilling in, the nation of Shakespeare & Lennon defers to the post-match rantings of a lad who kicks a ball for a living, and you wonder why the literacy rate is so awful !!!
It is for these, and many, many other reasons, that I have decided to move on from simply being the "stoner in chief on the guitar" … The music business needs a refurb, politics is in the dark-ages, TV is full of bad comedians & the remnants of Hughie Green & although I may be a lone voice, I'm gonna shout very loud while I still have one. The naivety of Cameron & Clegg, the dithering of Obama, the dysfunctional practices of the Copyright Tyrants… When the phrase Digital Revolution was coined, I guess nobody quite expected it to actually be of the magnitude we are now witnessing, every corner of the globe, most industry, information, entertainment - the whole shebang is getting turned on its head, for the more extreme 2012 believers you can even purchase an "End of the World" holiday in Ibiza …
So this will be the final blog on this site & then I will be moving over to my new domain, new album et all [all to be announced] which will gradually roll-out the mechanisms of "The New Reality" we are living in, obviously music will be fundamental to its core, but if ever there was a time when the phrase "out with the old / in with the new" bore more resonance & purpose, then I'm gonna go build myself a pyramid… The decimation of the old guard in the music business is just a fore-taste of things to come, music felt the consequences of digital very early in the process, but rest assured it will unseat everything as we know it, unless of course you are John Bongiovani, didn't you know, he's smarter than Steve Jobs …
Here's the Lyrics to "End of the World" … The track itself can be found on the streaming page and can be downloaded for free.
[Taylor/Keenan]
VERSE - 1
There are whispers on the air-waves
Static's filled with deceit
We're fed lies to breed false comfort
Cause' it helps us all to sleep
How the hell do you raise a family
Into a world of pain & fear
There's a price tag on our future
And were paying in arrears
CHORUS
Feels just like the end of the world
Nothing really matters
The end is where you'll find me now
With my false hopes in tatters
VERSE - 2
Well they try to sell us pictures
Of how our lives could really be
Then they take all of our money
So we work harder than we really need
And the fat cats in the city
Eating up our economy
Well the rich just get much fatter
And the rest of us stay weak
CHORUS
Feels just like the end of the world
Nothing really matters
The end is where you'll find me now
With my riches in tatters
You'll find me at the end of the world
Nothing really matters
The end is where you'll find me now
My false hope in tatters
Middle
Repeat chorus to fade
