Election 2012: Here's how it'll go down....


It's an election year. The Republitards are trying to figure out who they want to run for President. So far, it's down to four. Four complete fucking morons and social retards. I swear, it's like they're TRYING to lose! One idiotic statement after another. Romney just wants to rule the world and piss on the poor. Santorum wants a theocracy. Ron Paul is still too busy trying to tell people what he thinks they want to hear to be bothered with finding out what people want. And then there's Newt...who is just bat shit fucking crazy!

Then there's the Democraps. Four more years of Obama. Four more years of weirdo right wing groups doubting his citizenship, race, ethnicity, religion and shoe size. Four more years of trying to do the right thing but often falling short. Four more years of him singing. (at least we currently have a HOT 1st lady)

What about the "other" parties. Who cares. The media won't allow it. There's no one like Ross Perot (who if you recall, took 20% of the vote last time he ran). The media has made damned sure that since that time, that the only "other party" candidates you'll hear about are the loonies. And all disqualified on any number or grounds.

So, do you want to know how it's going to go down? The election that is...
It'll go down like this: we'll have months and months of lies, mudslinging, disinformation, sloganeering, misdirection, more lies, promises, debates, a crisis here and there...and then, finally, the election. We will all, hopefully, get out and vote. Some will vote often. Some will coerce others to vote against the best interests of this nation and the voter's individual will...and someone will be elected. Then what?

Four more years of business as usual. If you think voting for either is going to change a damned thing, you're a bigger fucking idiot than the politicians...and that's just how Washington wants you to be. We're all made safe & harmless by our complicity with playing the game. There is no change because we refuse to change. There is no revolution because we refuse to revolt...we might miss our favorite TV program!

If we want real change, first we need to decide what changes we want. Then we have to decide how to go about those changes. But do we really want change? Or is that too much responsibility for a nation of people who can't be bothered to switch off their media long enough to fart out an original thought?

It doesn't matter really. We're all corporate slaves. Like it or not. We're all bought and paid for. You can delude yourself into thinking you're not...while you continue to blab on your cell phone and watch your obnoxiously oversized TV, while driving a car designed to be ineffecient and disposable. Just remember who really owns this country now...and it ain't us.

Clearing up the Great Gretsch/Rockabilly Sham!

I've had a long-standing friendly argument with a couple of friends about guitars. This has gone on for 20+ years. We're all pickers, and we're all usually lumped under the rockabilly category too. They both love Gretsch guitars. I can take them or leave them. Rockabilly fans have asked me many times why I don't play a Gretsch, which is often associated with rockabilly music.   First, I point out that what I play ain't exactly rockabilly. Sure, there's a definite rockabilly influence...but there's also blues, jazz, surf, garage, punk, country, Tex-Mex, and even some Gypsy & African influences in my music. A Gretsch just ain't gonna cut it. Don't get me wrong, Gretsches have their place and their own, unique sound. But...for a picker who is coming from the afore-mentioned influences, a Gretsch just ain't gonna cut it.   The new Gretsches, mostly reissues, are well-made guitars. MUCH better made than the original ones, which tended to ...

Since they changed YOUR life, how about YOU changing someone else's?

The recent deaths of Lemmy and David Bowie have caused a mighty ripple through humankind. People that I never would've guessed to be "fans" have shown their true colors. An old lady I know, it turns out, is a huge Motorhead fan. Folks I work with, who seem much more at home listening to bland modern country, have vocalized their lifelong love of Bowie's music and movies. These two musicians changed a lot of lives for the better. Both died of cancer. As a two-time cancer survivor, as well as being a musician, their death hit home with me...and hit hard. I was lucky enough, both times, to not only survive but to also have decent health insurance at the time. My out of pocket costs were minimal. Many aren't so lucky. With Obamacare we're all forced to pony up for affordable health insurance...or be fined. For many, it's just not feasible. One of the groups hardest hit by the US health care nightmare is musicians. Professional musicians make their liv...

Colin Hardy: We'll Meet Again

 2026 has been off to a rough start. Not even a month in, and I’ve already lost a few friends. Now, before anyone reaches for the tiny violins and assumes I’m whinging - relax. I’m not. Yes, it always hurts to lose someone, but I’ve learned to use moments like these to lean into the good memories: the reasons we got along in the first place. This morning, I found out my old buddy Colin Hardy passed away over the weekend. Col hailed from Stoke-On-Trent (which I always jokingly called Stoke-On-Rye ). He was a working-class bloke through and through, but we shared a deep love of music — especially the old-school rockin’ variety. We first crossed paths on a music-sharing site and immediately began raiding each other’s collections. This was back in the dial-up days, when downloading a single MP3 could take half an hour if the phone didn’t ring. Eventually, we started emailing instead. Col sent me tracks by the likes of Crazy Cavan, Freddie Fingers Lee, and others. He was always hungry f...
