Yes, my houseguests are, in essence, moving out today or tomorrow — going to stay with a friend in town, so that they don’t have to spend a fortune on gas.

They are storing a lot of their stuff in my barn, for now, and leaving their unbelievably cute cats behind, for now, since their friend has 2 dogs.

We’ll see how this goes.

I am, of course, anticipating that they will never return for their stuff or their cats. I’ll deal with that when the time comes.

Meanwhile — I will have a HOUSE FULL of cats, but other than that, I will get all my privacy back. I am really looking forward to that, gang. And I am relieved that they will be someplace safe, and not just living in their car out on the street somewhere.

Once again, Michael Jackson’s channel had some very informative videos:

“How to create a Common Law Identification certificate.”

“An exceptional piece of factually sound and scientific analysis that explores the historic relationship between electrical frequency and human health.”

“How to build a DIY battery that can be used in an emergency situation.”

“What life will be like if they manage to implement a social credit system.”

“The aluminum in chemtrails have a direct link to environmental damage, Alzheimer’s and Autism.”

From Real Raw News— long time comin’!!

“Marines Arrest AZ Sec. of State Adrian Fontes

{…} White Hats, he said, began investigating Fontes following the arrest of Katie Hobbs last September. Information on Hobbs’ digital devices, discovered post-execution, showed that she and Fontes had already schemed to undercount 2024 ballots. In an email dated February 3, 2023, Hobbs wrote to Fontes, “With any luck, Trump will be in jail before the election, but if not, I’m repeating 2020 and will need your help.” Fontes responded enthusiastically: “We’ll make enough votes disappear to guarantee Biden wins our state.” […]

[…] “After JAG hanged Hobbs, Fontes got very, very quiet. All that loud chatter we usually hear died down. I understand they put him on the back burner while working on other cases. Well, Deep Staters don’t stay quiet, and last month we heard Fontes was recruiting state lawmakers to his cause. So, Gen. Smith sent Marines to get the bastard,” our source said. […]”

Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File this morning about meeting Bryan Ferry 24 years ago. If you’ve read Nick Cave’s book, The Sick Bag Song, then you know this story, but it was still interesting to read it again. In part, he says:

“That brief encounter at the pool shocked and saddened me, though. The memory will remain with me forever, living beyond all expectations, if just for the melancholy, poetic drama of it all. But it is more than a mere story. This incident instructed me on the fragile and capricious nature of the creative spirit and reminded me of the necessity of constant daily work…”

And that is it for today!

I did a ton of work yesterday — a 2-hour call with Peitor, followed immediately by a 3-hour call with Sandra. And I even spoke briefly with Wayne yesterday, who turns 70 (!!) on Sunday, and is heading to Tokyo in a few weeks.

But the phone calls with Peitor and Sandra mean I have a bunch of new work to do today. (Yes, I am developing a TV Pilot/series, working on a screenplay adaptation of our play, The Guide Being Fabulous, and also working on the staged reading version of the same play — all at the same time.)

Plus, I want to drive to town and get the groceries today, too, so I’m outta here.

Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world!

Just a peaceful easy song, on another gorgeous day, as I get ready to have the peaceful easy privacy of my home returned to me in time for SUMMER! Yay. The Eagles, “Peaceful Easy Feeling” 1972.

These last few days have been just so beautiful. It feels like summer already and that, alone, makes me feel really happy.

Wednesday, I’ll be driving to town to get all my flowers for the flowerpots that go out on my kitchen and front porches. And yesterday, all my indoor plants went back outdoors and you can just see how happy they are to get the sunshine.

Okay.

I’m noticing that whether it’s Q-related or just Truther-related, the “news” now seems to be barreling toward something intense, right? Even Simon Parkes saying yesterday that there is a “40% chance” that Trump will return before the November election. For Simon to say that is huge.

Anyway.

Seems like they are saying that Raisi is dead, along with everyone else who was in the helicopter.

Of course, we never know for sure if people are dead when we’re told that they’re dead, or if they’re alive when we’re told their alive — or if they’re actually under arrest acting out a role in public so that the people can see them for who they really are (i.e., Netanyahu…)

And in other news…

Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File this morning about his views on God in the human experience. In part, he says:

“Understandably, you feel heartbroken about the world – it can feel like a ruthless place, vindictive, and sometimes it seems personal. But I have realised that it is a moral error to compulsively fixate on the world’s troubles, to elevate ‘the crack in everything’ and not acknowledge ‘the light getting in.’ Our pleasures and joys are not a negation of humanity’s suffering, a betrayal of those we have lost, or the denial of our various griefs. They are the bright, necessary, God-filled articulations of our humanness…”

Today, I leave you with this entire movie! It is more research for our TV pilot — in this instance, character research.

If you never saw this movie by Alfred Hitchcock, chances are you will love it. It is so much fun and Shirley McClain is terrific in her debut role: The Trouble With Harry, 1955.

After one heck of a thunderstorm last night.

But now I must go off to town and run my weekly errands. As loyal readers of this lofty blog no doubt recall, the trip to town and back is far, so I need to pack some provisions in order to make the arduous journey (shown in the photo above).

And just so I don’t look weird, eating all by myself at the side of the highway, I hire my neighbor’s husband and kids to come along with me…

***********

Okay.

Honestly, the “news” is getting beyond tolerable. Especially if you are part of the Truther camp and know that 99.9% of this stuff is, in various ways, FAKE. (And the 1% that’s left is utterly evil, so we keep fighting.)

I grow very, very weary of all this, gang.

I only have Charlie’s update for today, and even that, I had a hard time forcing myself to not turn off.

I’ve thought many times about whether I wanted to post this here or not. It’s satire, so it is funny — but in many ways, gang, if you know the New Testament and follow Jesus in some way, it is not so funny at all.

From Nick Cave yesterday– a very interesting Red Hand File. As always, Nick Cave sticks to his guns. A musician in the UK is struggling with some really huge questions regarding the music industry and peer pressure and politics. I’m reprinting the whole question here:

“I am a musician who has been booked to play The Great Escape festival, which, as you may have heard, a number of artists are boycotting due to the sponsorship of Barclays. Who, in a non-linear fashion, are profiting from the horror that is occurring in Palestine.
I do not support the genocide, I would hope the rest of the world feels the same. But as an artist already existing in a very toxic industry, the best many of us can hope for is a few scraps – the glimmer of an opportunity, a gig, anything to help us get our music out into the world, and in turn make it a better place with the love we promote in our art. The music industry is a place of being told you need to follow TikTok trends and that labels only look at ‘metrics’. 

Individuality doesn’t feel celebrated.
I feel as if I am to be judged by my peers and by fans if we don’t cancel our performance, yet my heart tells me that this is ill-advised. I don’t want to be bullied into following a trend, yet I worry my silence makes me look complicit.
Integrity is all we have, so how are we expected to navigate through this world when all commercialism and corporate sponsorship comes from darkness? Latitude, Isle of White, Reading & Leeds are all sponsored by Barclays – it’s a huge expectation on struggling musicians who will be replaced by one of a thousand other hungry musicians if they decide to boycott. What would you do?“

Nick’s response: “Play.”

Breakfast-listening music! (Yes, I do listen to an inordinate amount of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers from, like, 50 years ago…). This was the only Tom Petty song I ever covered in my live shows back in NYC. I loved this song and still do.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, “Don’t Do Me Like That,” from their massively popular album, Damn the Torpedoes, 1979. Enjoy!!

“Don’t Do Me Like That”

I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him that she loved him so and turned around and let him go
Then he said, “You better watch your step
Or you’re gonna get hurt yourself
Someone’s gonna tell you lies, cut you down to size”

Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don’t do me like that

Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
Someday I might need you, baby
Don’t do me like that

Listen honey, can you see? Baby, it would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin’ someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you’re gonna get hurt yourself
Someone’s gonna tell you lies, cut you down to size

Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t

Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
What if I need you baby?
Don’t do me like that

‘Cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, “Love doesn’t last that long”
I’ve had this feelin’ inside night out and day in
And baby I can’t take it no more

Listen honey, can you see? Baby, it would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin’ someone else a try
And you know you better watch your step
Or you’re gonna get hurt yourself
Someone’s gonna tell you lies, cut you down to size

Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
What if I love you baby?
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t

Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
I just might need you honey
Don’t do me like that

Wait!
Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
Baby, baby, baby,
Don’t, don’t, don’t

No!
Don’t do me like that
Don’t do me like that
Baby, baby, baby…

Oh, oh, oh

c- 1978 Tom Petty

The past few days have just been incredible here. Yesterday, I planted the 2 new rose bushes and the new lavender plant at the back of my house, under my kitchen window. So here’s hoping that they will thrive.

I’m heading back to the train station today. Still not ready — I still go in and out of grieving — but on we go.

The “news” of course is crazy, noisy, sickening. As usual. Optics upon optics upon optics. I am really, really, REALLY hoping that if we do proceed to an election in November, they’re not going to let it be massively rigged, just to wake up the final few… I really, really, really just want this to be over already.

Anyway. Here’s Charlie’s daily update.

Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File this morning, wherein he announced that he has become a grandfather!!!!

You can read it in full here.

I’m not sure if this is correct or not, but I think it was announced that the video-taped chat between Johnny Depp and Mark Salisbury (mentioned below) will air after the Jeanne Du Barry film here in the US theaters.

I will find out for sure when I see the film on Sunday with my dear friend Kara!! Yay!

And we’re even going out to dinner, too, to an old Mexican restaurant next to the theater. Amazing. Dinner & a movie. Just like in yesteryear — before the plandemic, when Kara and I used to be able go out together all the time! And all of this will be at a movie theater about an hour from here that I, personally, haven’t been to in maybe 15 years??? Honestly, gang. My life is so fucking weird these days. So much of it feels like it’s taking place in yesteryear. I can’t explain it, but it’s something that my mind does now — like, constant deja vu.

Regardless, I know it will be really fun.

Anyway, this is from Johnny Depp’s Instagram yesterday:

Awesome, awesome, song from 1967. The first time I heard this song, I was 7 years old, sitting in the backseat of our family car, my dad was in front of me in the driver’s seat . We were waiting at a red light and this came on the AM radio. I fell in love with it instantly!!

Bobbie Gentry, “Ode to Billie Joe”. Enjoy, gang!

Yes! I’m already exhausted and it’s only 9am!

But onward.

I know that a lot of folks (me, included) are really turned off by the nonstop battling “Truthers” these days, however, if you’re still following Phil, he’s planning to do a livestream this morning, starting at 9:30am eastern time.

I think it’s supposed to be about all the nationwide Internet outages yesterday and not necessarily “intel”. I’m not sure. You can confirm the live here.

Listening-music to town and back!! The Best of Johnny Burnette & the Rock & Roll Trio!! I loved these guys, gang. Such great rockabilly. I absolutely love this song. It reminds me of my hellhole apartment in the East Village, NYC. I played this record a lot there. Play it loud, gang. Enjoy!

And here’s something else that reminds me of my hellhole apartment in the East Village in the 1980s!! I lived right around the corner from Life Cafe and I spent a ton of time there.

The warmer-weather-run broke last evening, but at least we still have sun and that’s a lot right there, gang.

Today, of course, is Sunday. The day that begins my real week, where I stare at all my many writing projects and try to figure out what the heck I’m doing! And, for the most part, I have a really great day.

As always, not much “news.” But if you are into natural healing, as I am, this could be of interest. (Dr. Cori Stern is truly knowledgeable about natural healing. I learn so much from her.)

On the home front….

One of my house guests officially turns 27 today. He works with me at the train station, so last night, after work, I took him to a new smoke/vape shop in town so that he could pick out some things for his birthday.

If you think I have any fucking CLUE what any of the stuff is that they sell in those smoke/vape shops, you’d be sadly mistaken. But it was very bright and clean and friendly in there. And my house guest discovered that they have the best prices in town.

Since I was the one buying him the items, when we pulled up to the store, I said, “Is it okay if I come in with you? They’re not going to think I’m your mother, are they?”

“Not unless I call you ‘mom’. Should I call you ‘mom”?”

ME: “NOOOOOO!!!!!”

Anyway. The vape/smoke shop was an interesting experience for me and he seemed really, really happy with his birthday gifts. (And, yes, marijuana was involved in the items he bought but they don’t resemble or smell like any kind of marijuana I have ever encountered in my entire life.)

(And when we got back to the house, his wife said to me, “By the way, those hemp rolling papers you gave us were really great. Where can we get some more of those?” So that comment right there kind of indicates that I’m not anyone’s mom….) (Oh, and also, I get the papers from the health food store I used to work at, but they come from HERE. Along with THIS, which is also really cool.)

This is what it looks like inside the new vape/smoke shop (photo courtesy of YELP) (and- YES- I was looking at the various loose-leaf tobacco products they sell before I reminded myself, quite firmly, that I DON’T SMOKE tobacco!!!! Aaaarrggggh…):

Other than that….

Have a great Sunday, wherever you are in the world!!

Yes, our driving-home music from last night. 

And, yes, I have posted this song here a lot, lately.

However, my driving companion/house guest just cracks me up. He loves this song, too, but has such a different reaction to it than I have. Last night, he said, “This is the perfect song to play at a Celebration of Life gathering.”

I said “Well, I guess it would be okay to play it at mine, but, well, I don’t know…”

Anyway.

Dick Dale & his Del-Tones, “Death of a Gremmie” (and FYI: a Gremmie is a young or inexperienced surfer.) Enjoy!!
