Quick Post for Today

There is almost nothing to post today.

I’m guessing that by now you heard about (or saw) the fake Kamala meltdown on Fox last evening. I feel that’s a very positive step toward ending this whole endless charade.

While that meltdown was underway, Phil was late for his livestream… and then very late.

And then he eventually posted a creepy video from his very dark car (creepy because it was so dark, he himself wasn’t creepy — 10 days of darkness coming? I don’t know). And he said he will do the live tonight at 7PM Eastern time, and then another live on Saturday night.

I can’t watch either of these. because I will be with patients, so I will have to watch the replays the following mornings.

I have been really happy to see this development (below) over the last few days, gang. I have been wondering when these guys would get some sort of restitution, freedom, whatever:

From Variety yesterday:

“Menendez Family Steps Up Pressure at Press Conference, Asking Los Angeles D.A. to Free Brothers

The family of Lyle and Erik Menendez held a press conference Wednesday to urge D.A. George Gascón to help free the brothers, who have served 34 years in prison for murdering their parents.

The brothers’ defense team has argued that new evidence shows they were victims of sexual abuse by their father, Jose Menendez.

Anamaria Baralt, a cousin of the men, argued that they were ‘victims of a culture that was not ready to listen.’ […]”

Colin Greenwood, bass player for Radiohead and currently the bass player for The Bad Seeds, has a new photo book out!

You can buy it here.

And today, his tour diary is briefly excerpted online here:

“Colin Greenwood’s tour diary: checking in with Radiohead and suiting up for Nick Cave

The bassist on becoming a Bad Seed, reconvening with old friends, and how life on the road has changed.

This diary finds me nearly a third of the way through a two-month tour of Europe, playing bass guitar for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Last year I’d recorded some parts on their new album, the ferociously euphoric Wild God, and have stepped in temporarily while their bassist, Martyn Casey, who has been ill, gets better at home in Australia. We have driven through, stopped, and played arenas in Oberhausen, Berlin, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg; now we’re heading to eastern Europe towards Łódź and Kraków. Tonight we’re playing in Budapest. Most of the shows are sold out, averaging around 13,000 very excited fans of all ages.…”

And our new daily section on the blog– (see yesterday’s post):

What Would Keith Richards Do?

Our random sampling for today turned out to be: Again, from Chapter 5!! Daily Affirmations. This one is on Self-Trust.

When asked what his New Year’s Resolutions were, Keith replied:

“I don’t really have to promise myself anything. That’s all part of the wonderfulness that is me. Like they say in America, ‘If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.'”

I hope that Affirmation helps guide you through your dense and complicated day!!

In other news!!!

Nick Cave sent out a great Red Hand File yesterday!! Just confirming what we already know– the Wild God tour is incredible!

However, mostly he was talking about how he and the band are feeling about this incredible tour. He says, in part:

The shows are outstanding, feel deeply musical, and we are enjoying them immensely. Those couple of hours on stage are intense and concentrated and there is a feeling of supreme metaphysical possibility where anything can happen, and frequently does. When performing, I experience an aliveness where I feel close to the living and to the dead. It seems that the show affords both band and audience moments of acute spiritual intimacy and communion, unlike anything that can be found outside of our own particular cathedrals – sex, nature, religion, identity, whatever. The new songs seem purpose-built for the live experience...

You can read it in full HERE.

And speaking of the tour…

Some photos from Zagreb. The show seemed even more intense there, if that is even possible!

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds play Prague tomorrow night!! You can buy tickets here.

The following night, they play Munich, but it is sold out.

****************

And here’s a new feature I’ve decided to add to the blog, at least for a little while!

Remember how it used to be popular to ask, “What would Jesus do?” when you were faced with some sort of moral or ethical question or dilemma?

in 2009, a really great book came out, called: What Would Keith Richards Do? Filled with actual quotes of things Keith Richards had said in random interviews over the span of about 4 decades, and presented as affirmative wise advice or affirmations to help guide you in your very complicated life. It is mostly incredibly funny.

For years, I kept this book in the guest room, but yesterday, I moved it into my room — on my night table, to be exact. I decided to randomly choose a topic each morning and share the result with you here!

This morning’s entry [drum roll]: From Chapter 5, “Daily Affirmations on Society”. Keith’s response on being a bad example for society:

“If they [the police] hadn’t come smashing through my front door, no one would’ve known what example I was setting.”

So now, I guess, just sort of meditate on that and enjoy your day!!

Yes, I’m currently in a Goat’s Head Soup phase, after my friend sent me that video the other day of the backing tracks to “Angie”. And I am finding the album to be an uncanny inspiration for both the memoir I am working on (covering 1971-1980), as well as a screenplay I’m developing that is a subsection of the memoir!

Today, it’s the actual full song, “Angie,” from 1973. Iconic. Enjoy!

Here’s What We Have for Today

As usual, weird stuff going on out there.

The best potential news is that Phil is supposed to do a livestream tonight. Check here later to confirm. No time has been announced yet.

Breakfast-listening music. This was a huge radio hit when I was living in NYC and working at the Museum of Modern Art. (Yes, I keep praying that this guy is okay. Time will tell.)

Moving into Monday

I have no clue where the weekend went. It seems like I worked through the whole thing.

But I have to say, gang — based strictly on the elderly people that I visit here in the Hinterlands– every last one of them is Christian, they believe in God, they’re Conservative, they’re pro-Trump. And they watch the TV news and they are ALL suspicious about what is going on.

A case in point–

Last evening, a new patient that I’ve been assigned — her world now is essentially just her recliner chair. She’s immobile and mostly deaf but incredibly smart and sweet and funny. She took one look at the latest polls last night on Fox News, regarding Kamala and Trump being in a “dead heat”… and she said, “There is no way that’s true. The polls are lying.”

My point is that, older Americans, who are part of that
“old school” where they were actually taught critical thinking– they are not easy to fool. Even without a smart phone, without a laptop, without spending time out in the world among other people. They know how to THINK.

Anyway. So I have a new patient (plus her husband) and wow, are they amazing! All these incredibly wonderful people out there. It makes it a little easier to have to say to goodbye to the other ones that are moving on.

A friend in France sent me this incredible video this morning. I just loved it. I share it here, even though you aren’t likely to love it for the same reasons that I do — it viscerally brought back so many wonderful memories of my private world in the early 1970s.

It is the backing track only, from the Stones iconic hit song, “Angie,” off of their Goat’s Head Soup album from 1973. Along with a bunch of great candid photos from back then. Even without the famous vocals, every note of this track sends my soul soaring. Okay. Enjoy, gang.

Good Lord

If you follow Q, then you know how incredibly frustrating and depressing Red October is getting.

Trying to wade through the optics and the psyops. It permeates everything right now. It is in absolute overdrive.

And the fact that Phil is NOWHERE… only proves that this is all really happening. This constant subterfuge.

He pops up sporadically just to post something that basically we already know, but nothing that comes out and really says anything about what is or isn’t going on.

Obviously, it’s supposed to be this way right now. You can’t blow everybody’s cover at this final stage, right?

It goes beyond the “Fog of War” at this point, because I think it’s less about “war” and 99.9999% about waking up as many people as possible so that they will get out and fucking VOTE.

Anyway.

But when I saw this, bright & early this morning, I thought: Oh fuck. now what?

From Real Raw News:

White and Red Hats form Union to End FEMA

White and Red Hats have shelved ideological differences—at least for now—and united to fight a familiar foe: The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the governmental goliath that has been terrorizing, robbing, and murdering patriotic citizens ever since the late William Jefferson Clinton and his foul wife empowered the agency in 1993.

Over the past six years, White Hats have fought FEMA in its natural habitat—disaster zones ravaged by fires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes. In each instance, invariably, White Hats caught agency agents tormenting and pillaging innocents whose lives natural and manmade disasters had upended. According to sources in Gen. Smith’s office and at US Army Special Operations Command, White Hats have “neutralized” approximately 860 FEMA personnel, including upper management and former director Brock Long, while the agency’s current director, Deanne Criswell, is currently at GITMO awaiting a military tribunal. But that hasn’t stopped the Deep State from keeping her in the public eye via artificial intelligence, CGI, and holography.[…]”

**************

On the home front —

Aside from the hidden 5G war that is nearly over, my morning here is not going so great.

Late yesterday evening, I got a text from my coordinator at the agency, letting me know that the patient I see on Saturday evenings (today) is going into a permanent care facility and that today will be my last time being with her.

I really like this woman a lot, even though she is deep into dementia at this point. It makes me so sad that she will be permanently gone from my life after tonight.

And then tomorrow and Monday morning, I have my final jobs with my absolute most favorite patient of all time. (She’s the one that I mentioned went to Yale after WWII and holds several Divinity Degrees and is almost 90 and is absolutely AMAZING. ) She lives in Florida during the winter and she flies back down there in a few days. She has a whole other crew of caregivers down there. And, thankfully, her home down there survived both hurricanes just fine.

I am so sad to see her go, gang! I really don’t see myself still being in this job by next Spring, assuming she survives the winter. So this is also breaking my heart — saying goodbye to her , too.

It is the hardest part of this job. Even if I don’t “adore” every patient, I am still walking smack into the peak intensity of their lives, their families, their memories, their joys, their past present and future fears. And then I walk back out. And on I go. But it all stays with me — the energy of their humanness and the sanctity of their homes, all of which is quickly coming to a final curtain of some sort.

It is much more intense for me than the last time I did this kind of work, several years ago.

Honestly, I can barely process it on any given day. And then I have to factor in: Am I making enough money or not?

After I got the text about my patient going into a permanent care place — and I know she has no clue this is underway; she has no clue about anything anymore, or even who I am. We spend 5 uninterrupted hours together each Saturday and she has no clue who I am. But she is so kind and we talk and talk and sometimes we laugh and we have a beautiful time together, even though she is not grounded in any sort of reality. Well, I immediately started looking at the want ads again last night. And I found 3 ads for a place that I wouldn’t mind working at. Clearly, they were hiring in earnest, because they had 3 separate ads.

I went to sleep having decided that I would at least apply and see where it leads. But when I woke up this morning, ALL of their ads were gone. Obviously, the jobs were already filled. That quickly.

So on we go. I just have to keep breathing and keep processing and keep trying to stay focused on what my life is really all about. (Give love, receive love until I’m ready to move on.)

Okay. Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are in the world.

I’m not 100% sure what is happening with Milton, except that he was reduced to a Cat 3.

I saw several videos on telegram very early this morning, showing mostly teenage boys, out in the wind and rain, riding bikes and paddling make-shift boats down flooded sidewalks. In general, having fun.

But allegedly, tons of people are at the very least without power in Florida.

If you want to contribute to the various hurricane relief efforts, and want to feel confident that your money will go to the right places, Simon Parkes has a GiveSendGo fund set up:

“Just to let everybody know that whatever you donate is not going to FEMA. It’s not going to any of the official organised groups.

The best part is, I believe he’s gonna be indicted for the murder of Tupac and the Notorious BIG. I think that’s what’s coming down the pipeline. This stuff right here is serious, but I believe that he’s gonna be indicted for the alleged murder for hire of Tupac Shakur…’

To make a long story short at the end of it you have a guy named Jean Dale that works for Diddy that says that he saw a check that a guy named Eric von Zipp had and he told him that the check was, for the murder of Tupac Shakur….

He says that Biggie and Diddy had a dispute over publishing rights. There were eyewitnesses who saw them in an intense argument and then the next day Biggie was killed.”

Yes!!!

My listening-music from this morning, while getting breakfast together for myself and something like 15 cats…

When I was 4 years old, my father brought the record below home for me. He was an accountant for the Cleveland offices of Columbia Records at the time, so he could bring home any of their albums for free.

We were going to be seeing the movie version of the wildly popular play for my grandmother’s birthday, and my dad wanted me to be familiar with all the songs! (He was so nice that way!!)

I immediately LOVED the album and, afterwards, I wanted it on the record player in the playroom at all times. I sat in the giant rocking chair, and rocked and rocked and rocked, and adored every single one of the songs from that show.

But I digress.

From this morning–

I sang along while getting breakfast together — and I sang quite loudly and joyfully, thinking about my dad. And all the many, many cats seemed to enjoy the song! (I had the CD on repeat). From the legendary musical, “My Fair Lady,” the wonderful song, “With A Little Bit of Luck.” Enjoy, gang!!
