Politics on a Roll After Quite the Rap with Cadillac Man

Remember when hip liberals would come up and ask you if you want to rap and all you wanted was for them to go away?

Not to worry as we are not hip liberals here at the Rockhouse, we are freaks.  In other words, we don't read the lines, we (gasp) believe them.

So, you wanna rap?

Wanna fuck off?

Note:  just to be clear, Cadillac Man did NOT say 'wanna rap.'


Cadillac Man is now 99% retired as in they still bother him with a few papers sometimes but he doesn't care, he's done with it.  In talking with him, his mind is firing like a college freshman and the most vital part I heard in it is zero bucket list.  That kind of a list is only a map toward death.  What I heard from Cadillac Man was doing this means I can do that and then I can do this.  Yah, this is life.


Gun control came up but my answer, and you will hear this a lot, is fuck it.  We all see the problem of way the hell too many guns and way, way too many dead people because of those guns.  We can sit around in a groovy circlejerk to see who wins and gets the package of Hostess Twinkies all for himself or we can stop this girly, fatalistic, crap that Americans are naturally violent and then get down to fixing the problem.

The most annoying thing is the appropriately-contrite shock when a spectacular shooting happens ... as if they expected something different to happen in a country with almost as many guns as televisions ... and with largely the same purpose (i.e. amusement).


That was some review of the heroin / cocaine war but not conclusive.  Perhaps further on this tomorrow in the show.  The opening premise is explaining the Ten-Dollar Soul Saving Paradigm but that's hardly a speech, it's barely even a paragraph.  As to what more will come of it, we shall see.

In fact, here's another twist.  Reverend Sasquatch may like to make a Dial-a-Sinner program.  If you want him to call you then he can 'dial a sinner' and go straight to you.  This is not to replace random access for anyone who should like to call but it could be a novel way to get symps, BFFs, and / or general good doobies into it with minimal hassle (i.e. zero waiting).

(Ed:  waiting? seriously?)

Sure.  If you, a random sinner, decide to call then it requires adding the contact Sasquatch.MOTI to your Skype and then calling me.  The answer for random calls is not clear as ideally Miss Mona the Ghost would screen them but we can't quite manage production studio facilities here.  In English that means you're live as soon as I answer the phone.  That's a big flashbulb as it goes, "Hey there, random sinner.  Welcome to a billion pious mofos judging you."

I really appreciated it with BBC as they explained what would happen at each step and my calmness in speaking is due in large part to the preparation they gave.  I would like to be able to provide that here but that's a radical leap in financial and hardware complexity (i.e. telephone switching isn't cheap, by any means).

This will hardly be an 1849 Gold Rush but possibly someone calls.  Prior to opening that is where there's the best opportunity to tell people know this before you connect that I'll bring you straight into the show.  I will caution once on troll calls as don't underestimate my speed.  If anything turns nasty, I will cut it off before another two words escape.  Other than that, no rules ... one ringy dingy, two ringy dingy ...


It's not a satisfactory answer to Cadillac Man that God created the Universe and billions of years elapsed before Jesus entered it.  Here at the Ministry of the Internet, we believe the logic is valid to support that and understand fully my faith is in the logic.  That is not proof but we believe it is sufficient because it's simple; no-one is trying to smoke you with anything.

For Cadillac Man, the content of the Bible is more important but this is where, at MOTI, we disagree as the Bible would not exist if not for the pre-existence of God.  It's not logically possible.  Unless you can make Time go forward and backward with equal facility, that just doesn't work.

Cadillac Man nailed it perfectly in describing Hawking's statement regarding 'the fairy tale of God' as hubris insofar as Hawking believes he has the answer all humanity has tried to find since the beginning of consciousness.  Maybe he does but the proof is not, in the MOTI view, sufficient.  In other words, it has been proven within dimensions we can measure that nothing existed before the Big Bang; not time nor space nor matter.  That's fine but that does not convince me everything which could be measured was measured or we would have an explanation which does not require an eight-year degree in Physics to understand.

The Reverend Silas T Sasquatch Blood and/or Money Tour starts tomorrow and I have not hard-scheduled it as yet because there is a bit of waffling over the best time for it.  If I kick it off at a good time for Euros then that drops it on top of NASCAR.  If I do it in the evening then Cat would have no chance of seeing it.  The probability is not high that she can but it would be bad manners to preclude the possibility when I don't know for sure.


For some the effort may appear trivial and why even bother for ten bucks a pop but that ten dollar measure is my strongest proof it is not trivial.  While I do want to pull comedy out of this, it isn't going to be pratfall humor.  This is not about fart jokes and dog tricks.  The story about the GMO rabbits who eat marijuana was just credible enough that it might be true but there was no malice in it (which low comedy usually needs) and people liked it.  That sets a good standard as it doesn't require the language is clean, we don't believe any language is dirty anyway, and it's pure of thought insofar as there is no intention to slash anything except silly ideas.


Frankly, Cat isn't all that tickled with the idea because it's not music but my music is my own and specifically because I never took a lesson from anyone.  My view of music is a gestalt and this is as much part of it as the guitar, the same applies with the lasers.  All of these things and others comprise a spiritual synergy with each having bearing on everything else and amplifying it.

The ultimate dilemma for any artist is what will I make.  For many, such as the Mystery Lady, they're not satisfied with expressing it in one dimension as she is an excellent painter ... but she also does batik ... and other types of art.  Some dismiss one aspect or another as craft but these are the ancient tribal arts and they're due a wee bit more respect than that.  Batik is a 'lost wax' method of applying dye to fabric and it's highly ancient.  It's never good to forget the ancient ways and it needs no explanation as you know it already even if you may not necessarily be doing much to keep them alive.

Others such as Jackson Pollock are such miserable, self-absorbed dickheads but they are genius within whatever they do.  There's no axe to grind on him as it's documented he was a major bastard.

So, everybody does it differently and this is how I do mine.

(Ed: as in all over the place?)

Direct hit, matey.
