You do the voice, I'll move the jaw----

I realize I been a downer on the blog lately---
so's here's a cute doggie picture...
that makes it all better-----
right---right...?

you're a British royal who marries an American...
Your future wife's step-sister, 
who is way too weird to be invited to the wedding...
has a formal wear required party---
at her trailer in Florida....
during your wedding to try to show you up...???

Just when you start believing it's all dark out there...
something wondrous occurs----

Just when I was starting to think good thoughts about human beings
 there's this little tid-bit....

I'm still in a mental guitar slump...
So I am working on the physical rather than the musical
..like on my guitar room and equipment repairs---
I was given, yes given a broken--
Traynor YCV40 amplifier.
The YCV40 is a Canadian manufactured, 
all wood cabinet, 2 channel, 12" Celestion speakered, 
combo tube amp with spring reverb
 and weighs in at 47 fucking pounds....!!!!
Years&years ago my buddy Bill and I used and hauled tons
(yes I'm absolutely sure it added up to tons)
of Traynor amps around New Jersey gigging.
So I knew Traynor's were not only heavy as fuck...
but  they were almost bullet proof---
cause
we dropped them a lot....
traynor amps
This amp sounded blown..hideous buzz...
after warming up it just wouldn't work...
which I am sure is why it was gifted to me...
So I spent the day disassembling cleaning, 
pulling and replacing tubes...checking connections
and reassembling
this amp...
Believe it or not it now works fine....?
I had to just order a shitload of strings...
Everything needs new strings...

Clint Walker passed away at 90.

stupidity, narcissism and braggadocio catching?

Uh, is that poison gas part of the presentation?

Even little things have been so confusing this week....

The new Predator movie is coming out this August.....!!
This one was written and directed by Shane Black...
Who you may remember acted in the original Predator..
and also did rewrites for the original....
See the trailer within the link below....
of course it's fucking awesome...

The recent news stories on the Trump-Cohen investigation
focusing on corporate bribes paid to Cohen for access to Trump
are a good sign based on 
the attention paid to following the dirty money swirling about Trump....
Following the money trail is the way to nail them all,
Trump has ALWAYS been a lousy business man...always.
He went bankrupt while owning casino's ???
This is all Russian money...for bribes, services or laundering out of their
organized crime syndicates...

Trump, his family 
and all of the sycophants that are now
in government positions provided by him will fall...
and fall hard...
not because
 right always triumphs..
but because they are so so greedy...
When I get tremendously bummed over what is 
happening...i just try to remember
they will fall.
We all knew it---
He wants to be Dictator---
He now admits it...at one of his "rallies"..
Be Afraid, be very afraid---
Trump wants to be president forever
His move of the American Embassy to Jerusalem,
to appease his fanatical religious voters cost 50 lives...
Real Christian of them...eh?
they won't even notice...

I have fallen off my pledge to not fucking 
write about him here...my apologies...
I have to think and recoup---
I've tried my best to resist even thinking of him/them
but we are now truly living in idiocracy...
Idiocracy
Sometimes I feel like I've just got to stop....!
But I then I think that this is exactly what
the Republican Kleptocracy want..that they are
bombarding us with idiocy hoping we will burn out,
become depressed and just give up....
I sit here not knowing what to do..?

I've been making the rounds of local restaurants
and low key pubs that might--might want to hire me
for my laid back musical style..
I've been 
dropping off flyers looking for gigs....
Talking to the staff at these places.
Everybody working in them has been really nice
and has reminded me that
working musicians and 
wait/bartending staff always get along...
I have no idea why..

This just may be some kind of weird, Internet goof
but there are articles on the net advising that 
scientists are advising that Octopuses...
may actually be from another planet---????

All you people who applauded the removal of 
Obama's MPG requirements
 and who bought huge SUV's over
the past couple of years---
applauding shale oil...and earthquakes...
You're fucked....
oh-no-gas-is-getting-expensive-again
Make fun of my 66 mpg Smart Car...
funny ha-ha-

Meanwhile in Europe----
These are the new electric UPS vans planned
for implementation in London and Paris---
UPS electric trucks
Of course,
 we won't be getting them here---

Don Felder is an outstanding guitarist...formerly 
of the Eagles,
he wrote the licks for Hotel California...
I just read his biography...
Very interesting.
Plus....
Anybody who runs a double neck on stage is
a hero of mine....
