"The Illusion of Gravity" is in things appearing to have substance when they don't. There's a minor temptation to release that CD again ... but just because I like the title.
There's been a bit of contact with my wayward brothers these last few days and it's unusual.
Lotho is usually rational, interested in researching things, willing to admit ignorance to facts if shown more accurate information, etc. The statement about how I support ISIS is not an example of that, however.
Bitch, you know me. You know I have never supported anything of that nature! (larfs)
Lotho mostly screws around because he does know me and he does know I don't want to eat the rich or some such. Can you imagine chowing down on blubber butts like Trump or Clinton. You would need yer pipes reamed for cholesterol, cellulite and who knows what else immediately after a disgusting meal like that.
Doc has completely jumped the tracks, tho, and it's not a personal shot. He isn't writing anything real but rather he's quoting Fox News like it's gospel. I think he jumped the tracks when our ol' Dad croaked and I said that to him. That's not to bust his ass but rather, hey, lighten the fuck up. You'll give yourself a fookin' heart attack.
Obama is to blame for the destruction of the cities, he says. wtf does that even mean (larfs).
The actual problem is there is much better content on the blog than the political rubbish but you boys steadfastly refuse to comment on anything which is not overtly political. It would be fascinating to hear your thoughts on the story concept for "Andromeda Weeps" in part because it isn't about me but rather is about that concept and all kinds of politics can wrap behind that but ultimately it comes to Zen Boogie; what's the essence of it.
(Ed: that's not Zen)
It is now.
You boys have excellent minds although I really don't get what Doc did to his. He knows what socialism really means as he was reading Kierkegaard and Sartre when he was a kid. That he pretends not to know what it means now shows something really unusual ... but it's not important if reason can come to something else.
That's why shifting to "Andromeda Weeps" is a better idea. Doc carries a load of hate on for me and that's fine if he enjoys it but he should know it doesn't do much for me. Really, my only reaction is, well, that sucks ... what's in the fridge?? Hating someone is almost always baggage for you and irrelevant to them.
Conceivably dispassionate discussion elsewhere removes any personal grind which comes in politics.
(Ed: all kinds of politics in a song which decries over-militarization)
True enough but they're not stated. In corporate culture, they call this going to the root cause. We loathe corporate culture, however, because they use stupid cliches incessantly and never produce much of anything in original thought. Corporate clowns frequently talk about 'thinking outside the box' while working diligently toward putting their staff into boxes such as the last failure in Lean VI Sigma to make automatons of response teams (i.e. programmed responses to problem solving etc).
Corporate culture is so over-committed to process it would argue all day about how to make the label for the disc but never actually record any songs.
One root of the song is, well, we sure don't need these nuclear missile weapons, do we. Seems a clear question coming out of that is, well, do we need them. Some believe they have a deterring effect and insist on these, presumably, because they're regarded as a better deterrent than something else.
From what we have seen, the presence of those nukes has been an active encouragement to other countries to build them there are seven, maybe more, nuclear nations now. Nukes may deter something but they sure did not deter that.
These kinds of considerations are fine behind the song but they can't be in it because then it's just another speech and we have seen the value of speeches: almost nothing.
The fundamental premise in the song is nuclear weapons are bad and nuclear weapons on missiles are really bad. It's a simple thought but there's not much PhD work in seeing a bright light and suddenly burning up in a million degrees.
I'm open to that discussion so long as it stays out of jingoistic flag-waver crap. Are nukes really bad or are they bad just because Fox News said so. If the latter, we don't care.
Here at the Rockhouse, we look at that question as being vastly more interesting than whether Ted Cruz is a superficial dickweed. You know he is, what's to discuss.
If those nuke missiles really are needed then the song is pointless crap and that possibility is valid even if I do not currently believe it is true.
Note: destroying the concept will NOT destroy the song. I would lift Jason and Andromeda out of it and put them on a tropical island eating coconuts if I believe it serves a story in some valid way. Anything in which he is called by duty but really should not do works the same. His love tells him don't do it, he doesn't, and it turns out to be the right thing. I'm writing the song and I can put them anywhere I damn well please (larfs).
In previous discussion with Kannafoot, I believe it got to the point of reducing the number of nukes is probably good but he does not want to eliminate them altogether. Fair enough.
Lotho is likely something similar and Doc is unknown.
Note: this is not an election to determine which thinking to apply. It's open season on an idea and let the duck hunters rule the day.
I do confess to a small measure of wobble on their deterring effect. I can't argue with the fact they have been there for well over sixty years and have not been used in any overtly offensive engagement. That's a fact and stupid to deny it.
However, that fact does not give an immediate answer of why they were not used in that time. Is that the only reason or is there something else.
The more interesting question to me is whether it's appropriate for Andromeda to implore Jason to stay back and disobey the order to launch the missiles. We know, without any question, if he launches then nuclear winter comes and everyone dies. I don't want to get tangled into, well, maybe one Eskimo couple would survive and humanity would emerge anew. Even if it's true, so what. Eight or ten billion people got croaked.
For the sake of the song, we believe if Jason does not launch then maybe half of the world will survive even when he and Andromeda will not. That much must be true or at least realistic or the song is pointless.
On a completely different subject, I've just recorded Reverend Sasquatch who is now with the Elves of Cthulhu for Sanders because all the other pols have a shitload of demons so he should have some too. We'll see if it passes with Yevette. She doesn't have an absolute veto power but the sound of crickets is a major vote.

True you do not overtly support them. But you do not support the destruction of thier regime.
Just as you do not support the destruction of Boko Harum.
I dont know how to accomplish it
But both need to be done.
Evil is Evil
PS I just try to keep you in check as you make The Bern look like a GOP contender
I usually dont comment on your video or music because if I am not a art critic. I make very few comments on my daughters art except to convince to make more
That I do not support this method of attacking them is not the same as belief they sure be ignored. I strongly believe the approach taken now not only doesn't work but actually makes more of them because each one of them croaked means three more pop up out of the sand.
The invitation on the conceptual aspect of the song isn't so much the artistic side of it but rather the logic behind it. That logic has to be there or it becomes only pop neo-rap from some singer whose name I couldn't be bothered to remember. In fact, I'll throw that out as another article because there's one fundamental question above all with "Andromeda Weeps" as to whether it's right for Andromeda to ask Jason to stand down. It's not a question of aesthetics but rather morality.
