Thank you. I got railed against the wall at an art opening last night and it set me back emotionally a bit today. I was pathologised and labelled and i really thought I had thicker skin. I’m churning and turning it into another song tonight to get it out of my system - some of the lyrics …
Fantastic, angry, indignant, and thoroughly pissed off! Love it. Sounds a bit like Zappa! Fitting that you shoved Kimmel in there as one who deserves unending ridicule. Such a nice surprise to see the dedication to CJ. He's touring the US and will be staying at my house where I've planned an intimate gathering. Next day he's doing a public gig in Santa Fe that I'm helping put together, too. Has he heard this and responded? Surely he has. I hope you catch him somewhere on his travels.
Tom. Thanks a bunch. Cj was hosted by Tonika (last week I think) from visceral adventure who has made a number of my music videos. Dunno if Cj has heard it but his bravery sarcasm satire and sanity were very healing a while back.
The CJ event fell into my lap when a previous local couple failed to summon enough people to attend a gathering at their house. The few who responded were hoping he wouldn't be critical of government covid policies because they thought everything was handled so splendidly. I wanted to see him and was contemplating a drive to Kansas. I wrote him saying if the Santa Fe thing doesn't work out I'll take it over and he and buddy Hugo can sleep over, too. CJ replied the next day and accepted my invitation. Another friend who owns the performance center has invited the public to attend the next day on October 11th. I wrote CJ and told him his columns back in 2020 were like a floaty device of sanity to cling to when the whole world went bat shit crazy.
Is there any other location to share your song? I think MediaMonarchy.com would give it a listen, if so. I shared you whole stack, but not sure it will be ez enuf for them to get an ear on it.....best from OR, USA
Thank you so much. I’m in the process of getting some more material up on my website. I have these on YouTube…

Meeting new peeps needs a little trick
Limited hangout
Wait just a little bit
See if they take the bait or dribble spit
it’s ok mate I can handle it
I’ll just sit there and nod my head
while you parrot on screech what the tv said
I’m not on brand but you’re good as dead
You live at the circus and just eat bread
How’s that workin You hashtag winning?
Driving an e-bike Uber-eats grinning
Like a greek man walking down the stairs
you’re con descending putting on airs
It’s ok I’ll watch. I’m Sittin’ this out
Call me Sasquatch or grover or grouch
I live in the woods you’re with your parents ouch
Call me cooker all you want but I aint no slouch
Nice one! Best thing to do with one’s emotions, turn them into art.

That is gunna be great. I would love to be there, meet you and share battle stories. Have a wonderful time.
Histories lessons are rarely learned, I wrote a poem about that 20 years ago, we have to go through this again I'm afraid 😨
It seems so. With increased safetyism and the chaos of groupthink
UTRINQUE PARATUS
Thanks for that!
The intro hit me in the Frank Zappa place.
I should listen to this on a bigger system, because I think there's more bass and midrange than I'm hearing.
I hope that deep stab didn't cut your femoral artery.
Still alive. There was a time when I wrote music I could gig - not so much these days :)
Hey the reminder of the oil peak behind the fracturing of the system has been great John.
F#$n' great!
Thanks for feedback. It means something when you’re just in the bush ranting to yourself!
Snort data like a hooker... 😁
Good to read your piece. Will listen to your track later.
