Okay, gang. I really don’t have anything for today, outside of Charlie’s daily update.
CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI – FRIDAY 5TH APRIL 2024 (14 mins):
Although it does seem like Putin might declare war on Israel, as Phil told us many months ago. We’ll see!
From Shadow of Ezra. (Putin & Netanyahu. For some reason, I can’t copy photos of Shadow of Ezra without deleting my entire blog post…)
************
Other than that…
Einstürzende Neubauten has a new album streaming on most platforms today: Rampen (APM: Alien Pop Music). I’m listening to it on Spotify.
(If you speak German, a review of the new album is here.) And this is the album’s cover — a bit on the “yellow” side:
That’s really it, gang. I have an unbelievable TON of notes to look over that arrived from Peitor during the night, and then I gotta scoot to the train station.
Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world!!
Thanks for visiting! I love you guys. See ya!!
************
More from Mudcrutch. “Oh, Maria”, 2008. Wow, I’d forgotten how much I loved this album, gang!! Enjoy.
“Oh Maria”
Hey Maria, with your kind eyes Laugh through the day time Night comes, she cries I am just a rider on this rough road Driving some smoke up from old Mexico
Oh Maria, whiskey and rye Walking up the stairs with a man twice her size If I had money, I’d buy her a rose Dress her in gold from her head to her toes
Yeah Maria, sparkles like sunlight on a lake Every time she passes by, it’s all that I can take Maria, oh oh oh Maria, oh oh oh
Oh Maria, stays out of the sun Waits for the rain to fall down on her tongue Hey Maria, give me a smile Let me come over and stay for awhile
Yeah Maria, sparkles like sunshine on a lake Every time she passes by, it’s all that I can take Maria, oh oh oh Maria, oh oh oh
Maria, oh oh oh Maria, oh oh oh
Yeah Maria, send me a smile Let me come over and stay for awhile
We’ll see. We might not. The weather reports and the actual weather lately couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried.
However.
I’m getting a new roof soon and that overrides everything I now feel about the “weather”.
Those fantastic Amish guys! Coming soon to roof near you,!
Okay. So. News.
I’m not commenting on any of it, because even the worst of it (Taiwan, for instance) is a psyop of sorts, in my opinion. (More DUMBS being taken out, although we were told the DUMBS were all gone last year…)
Anyway. Here’s Charlie.
CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI – THURSDAY 4TH APRIL 2024 (14 mins):
************
A really good one — even though it basically sums up all the psyops, that Nov. 5th thing is going to be amazing:
X22 Report – EP 3321B – CYBER ATTACKS ATTEMPTS, ELECTION DAY, NOV 5TH, EVERYTHING IS A GO, BIGGEST DAY IN HISTORY (55 mins):
*************
Check this link in about an hour for a new album trailer from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds!
************** Also from Nick Cave this morning — a new Red Hand File.
I thought it was kind of cool that, on the opening day of his art exhibit celebrating the life of the Devil in ceramics, he also sends out a Red Hand File all about Jesus Christ (well, in how it relates to the Wild God in his new song):
“These poignant scenes of a sad and wounded Jesus show his deeply human need for the love of his friends. Time and again he asks his disciples to believe in him, for what is a friend if not someone who believes in you….”
Jesus’ Final Week: A Post-Easter WrapUp (52 mins):
*************
And from Jeff Benner (link takes you to video – 11 mins.)–
“An investigation of the Hebrew words found in Genesis 1:27 and Exodus 20:7 to uncover the meaning behind the image of God and what it means to take his name in vain….
The Hebrew word אלהים (elohiym) is the plural form of אלוה (elo’ah) literally meaning “strength” and “power” and is usually translated as God or god….”
***********
Also, if you’re a creative in the US and a member of the Copyright Alliance (it’s free to join), this should be a good seminar. April 23rd, online, 2-3:30 PM Eastern time:
….we will discuss how creators can meet their goals today while helping to ensure that tomorrow’s creative community is sustained through job growth, a strong creative economy, and continued growth of the arts, all of which are perpetuated through copyright protections. The event will be free and open to the public.”
**************
And that is it for today.
Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

Last night’s listening music. I love this song and I had forgotten about it!! It brought back such great memories of someone I totally, 100%, thoroughly loved, who died too soon.
From Mudcrutch’s first album (Tom Petty’s other band), “The Wrong Thing To Do”, 2008. Enjoy, gang!
“The Wrong Thing To Do”
Well, my daddy took me campin’ Out under the stars Left me by the fire While he hit the bars And I broke my finger On a trailer hitch Mamma called daddy That son of a bitch, all right
Well a hundred miles to go You draggin’ your ass I’m in a Japanese car That ain’t gonna last And you forever drivin’ On the wrong side of the road Wearing dungarees That your mother stole
Well my mamma loved me But my daddy don’t I’m tryin’ to work it all out But I probably won’t I got a woman waiting At the top of the stairs It’s the wrong thing to do But I don’t care
Well she was blond and tall She was 23 Born into the world To get the best of me And she never paid back Half what she stole She wanted my money So I gave her my soul
Well I was flying half mast On the 4th of July In a bar in Lake City With a western tie And I was thinkin’ hard About changin’ my name And headed for Miami When the daylight came
So after having a tornado hanging around for an hour in the Hinterlands last night, and buckets of rain falling nonstop through my kitchen and bathroom ceilings…
It was really, really FANTASTIC to see the many guys stopping by today to look at my roof and ceiling issues, in order to put in their bids to give me my new roof!
Seriously, gang. What a relief. I knew they were coming sometime soon, but last night was really intense. Wondering if my ceiling fan/light fixture in the kitchen was going to come crashing down along with all the water.
It didn’t. And now I know for sure that the new roof is coming…. Thank God.
Okay.
Here is Charlie’s daily update:
CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI – WEDNESDAY 3RD APRIL 2024 (11 mins):
*************
Matt Roeske – Moon day live, Eclipse, Sunglasses, TVs, Sun Energy, and Pearl Powder (1 hr):
***********
Also — two days ago, I got my first order of pearl powder (from Cultivate Elevate, Matt Roeske’s site) and I was amazed at how well it is already working. I bought it primarily to help with my eyesight and it is already making a noticeable difference.
***********
I forgot to post this the other day.
If you are fans of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, this new song/video of theirs is so much fun!!!
JOE SATRIANI & STEVE VAI ‘ The Sea Of Emotion, Pt.1’ – Official Video (5 mins):
*********
And also this!
A trailer for the upcoming documentary “Unleashed Spirits – The Rise Of The Hollywood Vampires” (5 mins):
***************
And this amazingly bizarre thing happened —
For some reason, Johnny Depp’s new film “Jeanne Du Barry” is playing for 5 nights in May, in several theaters in Ohio, and ALL of the theaters are sort of within driving distance from here . The only reason I can come up with for why this incredible film is playing in a theater even remotely near me (truly, not an easy feat, since I live in the middle of NOWHERE), is because the Universe is trying to help me learn French!!
Anyway. I’m so excited! Not only do I get to see this film in an actual movie theater and not streaming on my phone someday, but my beloved friend Kara is also coming with me!!! Yay!!
*********
Tomorrow, Nick Cave’s celebration, in ceramics, of the life of the Devil opens in the Xavier Hufkens Gallery on 6 rue St Georges in Brussels.
I know it will be a splendid success, of course!!
I, personally, though, am eager to see his next ceramic celebration, in hopes that it will be inspired by something/anything else…
*************
And I uploaded two more demos to my Marilyn’s Room Video channel on YouTube, and that will be it. (That makes a total of 27 songs.) The rest of my songs either don’t have demos at all, or don’t have demos that I like at all.
Okay. So that is it for today.
I kind of have a little break here today. Sandra had to unexpectedly go get some x-rays, and Peitor is enroute to Las Vegas to work with Charo for a few days.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do today but it will involve a good deal of sitting and staring, I’m sure.
Enjoy your Wednesday, wherever you are in the world!
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!
*************
This morning’s listening music!! A new video of that incredible classic from Neil Diamond — “I Am, I Said.” What a gem!! Enjoy, gang!
Wow, was yesterday beautiful, gang. Just a gorgeous Easter Sunday. And I spent a couple of hours out in my yard, getting it ready for the Spring cleanup. It was such a beautiful day.
Today is rainy and not so wonderful, and I have to drive to town for the groceries…but on we go.
Here is Charlie’s daily news update:
CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI – MONDAY 1ST APRIL 2024 (13 mins):
*************
From Real Raw News — I keep forgetting to post this:
“Garland to Hang on April 4
Illegitimate Attorney General Merrick Garland will be executed next week at Guantanamo Bay after being convicted of treason and conspiracy to murder J6ers currently held in federal prisons and at secret Deep State jails of which there is no public mention. […]”
Michael Jackson has a video regarding the Titanic and the Olympic and which ship really sank and why. (At this link – 50 mins)
“Contrary to popular belief it wasn’t the Titanic that sank it was her sister ship the Olympic. This deep analysis uncovers how the British establishment covered up the truth of the Titanic and the reason why it was sunk.”

James Tabor – The Religious Idea that Took Over the World (51 mins):

*****************
And that is it for now, gang.
Enjoy your Monday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guy. See ya!
*************
I uploaded another demo to Marilyn’s Room Video on YouTube yesterday.
This song, “Same Old Story,” I wrote in 1981, and it was one of my most popular songs. It was also the first song of mine that got covered by other singers in the West Village back then, which was a real thrill for me.
This demo is me singing and playing guitar, and Stephen Blades on everything else. Enjoy!
It’s looking like a good morning around here, gang.
I think I FINALLY got a lawncare service for the summer. It only took about 5 different companies, but I think I finally found one that will actually show up once a week.
We shall see! (It’s been about 4 years since I had really great lawncare.)
Okay. Here’s what I have for today.

******************
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers sing the Hank Williams’ classic, “Lost Highway.” Audio only, but really fantastic. Enjoy!
“Lost Highway”
I’m a rollin’ stone all alone and lost For a life of sin I’ve paid the cost When I pass by all the people say Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman’s lies makes a life like mine On the day we met, I went astray I started rollin’ down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty two Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I’m lost, too late to pray Lord I paid a cost on the lost highway
Now boys don’t start to ramblin’ round On this road of sin are you sorrow bound Take my advice or you’ll curse the day You started rollin’ down that lost highway
If you celebrate Easter, I hope you have a blessed Good Friday today.

“Why did blimps get banned? Here are a few reasons:

***********
And that’s it for this evening.
On the home front, things are getting really exciting, gang.
Peitor and I already have interest (in France) in our TV Pilot episode (for Abstract Absurdity productions) that we haven’t even finished writing yet.
And Sandra and I are making some incredible progress with the Off- Broadway staged reading for “The Guide to Being Fabulous”. We are both incredibly excited.
And, yes, I was asked to join the new “New Media” committee of the Dramatists Guild in NY and I am so excited about that, too. The first zoom meeting is this Friday.
Okay. Enjoy what’s left of your night, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

All I’ll say about this song is that it’s research for the TV Pilot. Enjoy!!
