Requiem for Howard?

Alas no. When I saw Amos Lee’s new album was titled Last Days at the Lodge I thought it might be a valedictory tribute to our late and much-loved* PM but apparently not.
The songs are nice though, if this is a typical example.
* By a certain class of Americans.

and maybe ,Ute Lemper “Wan’t to buy some Illusions” and
Billy Bragg, ‘Ideology’
Dave Alvin “I am Bewildered”
Eric Anderson ‘The Hustler”
the sad part is that MOS is probably saying ‘What happened,ungrateful bastards’, well music, poetry and literature will ,through history may give these ego insipid’s a note of caution.As Rita Macneil points out ‘Working Man’, not fucking MacBank and cronies who pay the bills.And suffer.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
And on Rita Macneil, probably one of the most fine tributes in song to their heritage is ‘Home I’ll Be’. Excellent.

Bill Clinton plays the blues
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alv7N6Ynm1Y
Time for Bill to hit the notes…let the music rip…great to see him w/ Nelson Mandela, memories of great days…noone plays like Bill does. Hope him, Oprah, Obama & others do the jail circuit like the Blues Brothers soon to bring some fresh air to those poor buggers in there.
PLAY BILL…PLAY HARD. It’s TIME for a CHANGE…w/ alot of help from a friend.
Obama/Clinton 08
but Bill, think of your health w/ the fast food. And the animals. Redemption feels good. Trust me. Been there, done that. Thumbs up for protecting nature via bills.
P.S. We need YOU. More than ever. But YOU know that. Always did.

How pathetic is the corporate media in this country?:
She whispered ‘bear’ and line went dead
June 30, 2008
The attack occurred along a trail in a 24-hour race put on by the Arctic Bicycle Club in Bicentennial Park.
The park, on Anchorage’s east side, borders on Chugach State Park. Wild animals - from grizzly and black bears to moose, wolves and wolverines - frequent the area.
The girl called emergency services, and dispatchers heard someone struggling to breathe.
She whispered one word - “bear” - and the line went dead, Hill said.
(SMH)
SCARE TACTICS BY THOSE WHO SUPPORT HUNTERS, HATE BIKES, LOVE CARS, WANT TO INVADE LAND FOR OIL & MINING USE…ANIMAL HATE…BUILD UP TO HEAPS OF ANIMAL-BASED DISASTER MOVIES IN AN ANTI-ENVIRONMENT CAMPAIGN…DEVIOUS BS
(I reckon someone needs to look into the origins of this story)
Here’s info you didn’t get:
DESTINATIONS Chugach State Park
Chugach Gateway
By Bill Sherwonit (GORP)
About twenty-five road miles from downtown Anchorage along the park’s northwestern edge, the nature center is one of Chugach’s primary gateways and gathering spots. Among its chief attractions are natural history displays, spotting scopes, and year-round naturalist programs ranging from mushroom identification to bird-watching walks and midwinter stargazing.
People constantly move in and out. Some have questions about trail conditions; others ask about camping, giardia, or wildlife. “There’s so much paranoia about bears,” says a center staffer. “People are constantly asking, ‘Are the bears out today?’ or ‘Any bear attacks today?’ ” Truth is, black bears are commonly seen along the Crow Pass Trail but attacks by either black or grizzly bears anywhere in Chugach State Park are extremely rare. During the park’s first twenty-nine years, only two people were killed by a bear defending a moose carcass.
Still, bears seem to be on the minds of many visitors, especially tourists, so at least once a summer, and usually more, the center hosts a bear-awareness program. By summer’s end, more than 50,000 people will stop here, making it the single biggest attraction on Chugach’s northern end. For many, it’s the only Chugach experience they’ll have; for others, it’s the starting point for even grander park adventures, both land- and water-based.
———-
F’ckn’ idiot corporate media & their fear-mongering! Puppets of the Resource war mongrels…& scaredy cats who hate nature…religious deviants who think that animals have no right to a life w/out SERVING them.
They are the BAD WOLVES who want us to stop using such descriptions. Real wolves wouldn’t eat them, they can smell THE ROT.
They are THINGS…rotten THINGS…eating this planet alive…infesting YOU…if they can, metaphorically of course:

A tribute to long-term friends, HORSES
Here I Am - Bryan Adams (version from Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tPtzT0Uurk
Those MONSTERS in their suits & furs at some POSH, money-grabbing jump races & other racetrack games of late do not represent the rest of us…or the horse lovers out there.
Those who have kept their LIGHT in a wee box in order to FEED on the PAIN & SUFFERING of others, to profit…they will be hard to forgive.
The damage they have done to our relationship with other species we share this planet with is enormous. The harm they have inflicted on individual horses & reflects badly on Humanity.
How can other species TRUST us, be our companions, when such “greed for gain” MONSTERS perpetrate such CRIMES?
BUT, I see bridges of kindness & understanding & tolerance being built everyday.
Let the HEALING begin.
Interesting that FOXTEL happened to experience a corrupted signal in many regions just as the 7:30 Report was revealing such CRIMES against HORSES. And such. Coincidence?

Remember this movie?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEuqhAnP4-c
(Shy People directed by Andrei Konchalovsky)
It’s amazing how hard it is to find clips for movies & music w/ truly wonderful female roles & realistic representations & themes these days.
All part of the FORGETTING I suppose. W/ the war on EVERYTHING what else can breathe? Part of the PURGE. The Bushevik & Howard & Blair CONDITIONING of minds.
I couldn’t even find ‘Housekeeping’.
I like Rose Troche films too. ‘Safety of Objects’, ‘Go Fish’, ‘Bedrooms and Hallways’.
I wonder what’s she’s done lately?
