"If you want to be a different fish, you've got to jump out of the school"


Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart, has now moved on from this vibrational plane. 


To most folks his music was an acquired taste and best appreciated in the altered states of the day but the legend and tall tales of his life make for a story to be remembered.

His death is not important in the overall scheme of today's world you may say. True, but the footnotes of history sometimes provide a little diversion and stoke some long lost memories... and that's not always a bad thing.








This 1982 video was rejected by MTV. A compliment in hindsight.

Snubbing Bono





Bud Adams, owner of the Tennessee Titans, signals to Bono and U2 that they are not welcome in 'his house.'





Poor U2 and their new world disorderly Bono. The Tennessean reports today that the biggest venue in Nashville, LP field, turned them away so they had to settle for Vanderbilt Stadium for their 2011 tour. That's a loss of somewhere around 30,000 ticket sales. Original ticket prices of $30 to $250 are now inflated  up to $1,100 through scalpers ticket brokers.

It's not like Bud Adams is snubbing his nose at Bono because he is a con artist. Bud is one too, conning convincing Nashville to foot most of the bill for his stadium and ongoing costs. The old man probably views U2's 'clients' as hippies and doesn't want them stinking up his 'house.'


U2 just may be the most overrated band in the history of the world. Globalist media promotion and friends in high places keep their scam going.

Bono's lemming followers surely must know that he is a tax dodger who asks the Irish government to contribute more to Africa while at the same time he's reducing tax payments that could help fund that aid.

They must be aware that Bono's ethical holier-than-thou African fashion line is now Made In China.

As they stood in line for that $250 ticket, they had to know that Bono's ONE foundation only gives 1% of its funds to charity, saying that they are an advocacy and campaigning organization, a lobbying group that 'raises  awareness' and tries to convince legislatures to give more of your tax money to so called 'aid' groups otherwise known as thieves.

All of that will be a mute point as concert goers raise their hands in a pseudo religious fervor, pat themselves on the back for being a politically correct music lover and take home a Bono t-shirt to show the world they care.   

I like what AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson had to say about Bono's 'charity' work.
The singer said he and his band prefer to help in private with no press conferences.

"I do it myself, I don't tell everybody I'm doing it," Johnson said.

"I don't tell everybody they should give money - they can't afford it.

"When I was a working man I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa.

"I'm sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done.

I'm with Brian Johnson and Bud Adams on this one. Give Bono the finger and tell him to go elsewhere.

Barry and a Beatle


Last night PBS finally got around to airing the "really big shew" of Paul McCartney receiving the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at the White House which took place on June 2.

'Sir' Paul and his band and guests played a few tunes to remind the crowd what the award was all about and Paul gushed over Barry and Michelle throughout the love fest. It seemed like Paul thinks Barry is the best thing to happen to America since, uh, Stevie Wonder, who was also there.

A few of the other guests were surprising. Elvis Costello, fresh on the heels of canceling his concert in Israel, calling it an act of  'conscience'  in protest over the treatment of the Palestinians was there. Apparently his conscience didn't kick into gear over playing for drone lover, surge enabler and war puppet Barry. And Jack White was there too ... humm.

A little editing of the show was ordered by the White House. Reportedly Paul said near the end  "After the last eight years, it's good to have a president that knows what a library is."  Too bad Barry didn't spend more time at the library and check out the constitution.


The missing moment ...

I kept waiting. It didn't happen.

On his current tour, Paul has been playing a tribute to his assassinated partner John Lennon, "Give Peace A Chance." You might think the peace prize prez would want to continue the charade and sing along with that one. The grand finale to give the world 'hope.'

But na na na na na na na. Hey Jude got the finale honor with everyone joining in on stage


Just one question ... WTF was Seinfeld doing there?

Forty Years Gone and Hendrix Still Lives

As I always say ... "sometimes, everyone needs a little diversion."




Today the Hendrix family released yet another remixed and remastered gem from  the Jimi archives titled "Valleys of Neptune."

Having just listened to it, I'll just say that the forty year wait has been worth it. There's nothing really new to those who have heard all of the Hendrix official and bootleg releases but the sound quality is very good and as much as I hate to support corporations like Sony, 'Neptune' is highly recommended.

It's still better than 99.9%  of the rock music being put out today.




For the conspiracy minded, there are the tales that Hendrix was murdered.

The Murder of Jimi Hendrix

He didn't die from a drug overdose. He was not an out-of-control dope fiend. Jimi Hendrix was not a junkie. And anyone who would use his death as a warning to stay away from drugs should warn people against the other things that killed Jimi—the stresses of dealing with the music industry, the craziness of being on the road, and especially, the dangers of involving oneself in a radical, or even unpopular, political movements.

COINTELPRO was out to do more than prevent a Communist menace from overtaking the United States, or keep the Black Power movement from burning down cities. COINTELPRO was out to obliterate its opposition and ruin the reputations of the people involved in the antiwar movement, the civil rights movement, and the rock revolution. Whenever Jimi Hendrix's death is blamed on drugs, it accomplishes the goals of the FBI's program. It not only slanders Jimi's personal and professional reputation, but the entire rock revolution in the 60's.
