Rock Quote In Some Way
Rock Quote Of the Day
I was 62 the day they had the premiere of Hard Day's Night and we all went out. Then Paul handed me a big parcel and I opened it and it was a picture of a horse. So I said 'Very nice' but I thought, 'what do I want with a picture of a horse?' Then Paul must've seen my face because he said "It's not just a picture, Dad, I've bought you the bloody horse." - James McCartney (father of Paul)
Who the fook is Paul?
Anyway, his dad, then thought, but what the fuck do I want with a horse, I am an animal lover I have no desire to start a northern glue factory!
Then Paul must've seen my face because he said, " I aint really bought you an 'orse dad", it's a spelling mistake, I've bought you your council 'ouse dad."(tight git Mc Cartney)
Then Paul must've seen my face because he said, "I aint really bought you your shitty old council house dad, I've bought you that shack next to Buckingham Palace.''
And we went on and on all night until I just told him what I wanted, which was far easier.
___________________________
I wonder if any artist/entertainer/person, who struck it rich and wanted to buy something like a grand home for the parents, had those parents refuse, opting instead to stay in their own humble abode/digs?
Myself, I would not refuse, but would have a contact drawn up, that if I accepted the gift, I could still foul-mouth the lot of them if I so desired, without having said gift taken back, some folk are mean and childish after all.
And giving could be more a question of just making the self feel better about the self.
People are infested by materialism after all and have no control over the amount of junk they accumulate and allow to screw their heads up worrying about those things until the very moment they drop dead.
People want me to help them clear out their attics and lofts and move house for them whilst I've been a good boy and already swore myself to poverty in that non-materialistic way, when I was 16, which by no means, means, an individual such as me, must truly live without using any material thing, on the contrary, the process of disattachment allows one to enjoy those material things far more than a super-bonded materialist does, a person ruled by society, by what society imposes on the soul ruled by what society expects, in its, mainly, robotic fashionable tendency, whilst the free people have to fight for that freedom, because those unwilling to break those chains of the ages and who just play the game of NOT SHARING THE WORLD, and morely so, hating the world in the wrong way, and hating themselves, without knowing they do, cannot stand the free people, and want to tie them down so they do not have to feel how tied down they are themselves, it is like this, the unconscious world, where war goes on and on, where more than 75% of what is on the INTERNET is not adult discussion like in the style of HUXLEY or HG WELLS OR any other brilliant mind, but is more about aggression and small talk, void of love and then I think, Internet is dangerous because it may be a thing that can lead to people becoming even more disconnected from one and other.
Isolation, yeah, kids going pale and becoming ill even in Florida on holiday sat behind the computer addicted to the games.
People need games, children do too, but we are an habitual type of species, unable to make sense of the world, so we enter the fantasy zone, even game playing is part of that at times, to want to escape the mundane nature of reality.
To have fun because just living is hard, fun is hard to have, when every day all as we see (and it isn't a new phenomenon) is killing on our TV sets.
Everywhere destruction, even if there is creation, the abundance of war is overpowering and if we think we are not affected we must be entirely insane because we all are affected by every little thing that we all do.
Everything.
Every death from some bomb some clever dick invented, in his head or her h

Lennon Said;
Lennon, our John, said, that to be in this bizznizz you had to be an ego-maniac.
He said he was, in a way, too, but that after he fell apart from taking lots and lots and lots of LSD and reading Timothy Leary's book, as everyone was at that time, which said, Turn on Tune in Drop out, he had no ego left, because he thought he did not need it, but later, someone helped him to piece himself together, to say, Look, you did this and you said that. So he realised he did need his ego, without it he would do nothing at all.
I wonder about the direction of everything involved in the art of music, the greatest art, seeing as it is living art, it is not the same as other art forms, it is the art type that reached people as no other form can. I wonder about the state of the element, nobility in music, when, it is near impossible to avoid the material aspect, and because, music became not only the form there to aid humanity as a whole and to afford groups and communities to join together, but in the first place has evolved into something that is firstly entered into for the money. Music is a sacred thing to me.
The money is nice to have but how far may an artist/entertainer go, in using the public in order to get material.
Is it ok to involve the audience, to tell the audience that they are part of the show then to take things from the audience, re-package it and present it as your own?
In fact stealing other peoples' talents/insights/material and giving them no credit for it, and even going as far as to tell lies about the inspiration that brought forth a particular piece of work.
Or, is everything allowed, and it is a hard world, and it is merely a question of, whoever is hardest, whoever is toughest, whoever is most clever, whoever is most able to allow, dog eat dog, to rule, wins?
The element of protest in Dylan's words and works in Lennon's too, in the words and music of Marvin Gaye and others like this, is what inspires me, the money, though I wish I had it, in a way, could never inspire me, to stand on a stage.
Lennon said, you had to be an ego-maniac to get up on a stage, he wrote this in Lennon Remembers, he was not afraid to admit such things, which other people were not willing to admit to being guilty of, he stated he was guilty of it but he was not ashamed of it, because you had to have something in you to give you the 'what it takes to get up there in the first place', himself, he was nearly unable to 'get up there, ''he used to throw up beforehand from nerves and more.

Dude there is so much i would like to say in reply to you and this blog.
firstly i think you are a very wise and inspirational person yourself, you are a rare commodity in this weary old world, you are a thinker, i have read many of your blogs and you never stop amazing me with the some of the things you come out with. I like the cut of you jibe.
Secondly, when you look at all the research on life on mars etc, the only thing that causes scientist types to raise an eyebrow, is that they may have found bacteria under 40ft of hard rock, which apparently is representive to life on mars. Thus making me start to think that maybe we as humans and those as animals are meerly spawned from bacteria and have evolved ever since hell bent on destroying this beautiful world. like bacteria on an old sausage, slowely devouring it and then moving on to something else. I mean bacteria needs three things to grow time temperature and food, Time = the millions of years of evolution, temperature = we have the only habbitable planet in our galaxy, and food= this once glorious world.
As for Mcartney and Lennon, well i just think they we're over rated any way, caught up in their own whilrwind of glory.
And yes music should come from the heart, if it doe'sn then it should not be considered music just crap. When we at product recall started forming our band we never had a list of goals or targets, we are not in it for the money, sure money is a nice reward and a way to escape the mundane 9-5 routine but money is not an objective of ours, nor is pussy, the second reason people form a band.
The reason we do it is to get rid of any anger or pent up frustration and to scream out whats troubleing our hearts, we had a review of one our songs saying it had intelligent lyrics, but when you question the lead singer who writes the lyrics, all he does is say whats in his head ( also may i say some real nuggets have come out that way too) , but he has never once sat down and written the lyrics to one of our songs, what comes out in result is pure honesty with desire passion and integrity.
And that my friend in my view is what music should be.
Sread the love and keeep the dreams alive.

Hi there P Recall,
That's a funny/nice name you choose, I like it!
Imagine being rich and owning some big ol' car using it five years then being forced to give it back but getting an entirely new one again, very handy, but if it is something like batteries in laptops catching on fire, that's less of a happy adventure, especially if your home burns down in the meantime.
Products yeah, you're making me think now, shit, even we are products, not really of our moms and pops, because of course they are mechanics but not designers.
Thanks for what you said and for engaging in a bit of word writing.
I get scared to write, I often think people hate me, and I know some do, it will always be so, I mean, I was scared to read your post reply to me, for fear you were gonna tell me to fuckoff.
Somethings we say might not suit a person, like if it is like about how unhealthy smoking is, a smoker doesn't want to know about it, I used to smoke (a lot= I am now ill from it) and I didn't used to even think about stopping, not really and I didn't ever really read up about any horrid sounding illness, my addiction withheld me from that.
I'm glad you are like how you described, you know, I truly don't believe that The Beatles started out like being in it for the money, I mean, anyone back then, had to do something because times were definitely not easy, it hadn't been long that they'd introduced benefits, after World War Two, in some areas of the globe, in the Western world then, as in places like Africa, they've never had it and still do not have it, and what with all of the troubles still going on, they look like they'll never have any kind of social net like the developed countries has, in more or less ways. So yeah, I do know The Beatles had to work hard in dirty heavy clubs, the ones in Hamburg in the rough and ready part of town, I guess they weren't over there for nothing, it was tough to be anywhere with music, and artists had sweet-fuck-all to say back then too, recording history was recent, there was no history of it, as it had only just been invented, and it was all very rough.
But after the second world war, with its authoritarian stamp and its black ink of hate fading, not all of the resources had to be put into the steel industries anymore to build bombs and guns and peoples' brains were allowed to be used for other activities, like making music, ok, we always had music, but what a scene, the black musicians in the states were still being treated like slaves in the 40's, even sfter the war they still weren't enjoying anywhere near equal rights in fact they had no rights, hardly at all, going in back doors of the clubs that they filled by playing their music in them drawing the crowds but not allowed to enter by the front door, segregation, discrimination, apartheid in the USA, Fats Waller kidnapped for more than a weekend by Al Capone's men as Al was a fan, and then Fats forced to perform, and dollars being shoved in his flower pocket on his jacket, and 20 dollar bills hurled his way every time he played a song Al liked and Al liked them all, so, there you have Fats being thrown out onto the street a few days later with more money than he'd ever had, his bulging eyes bulging out even further, wondering to himself, what the hell had happened to, in fear for his life, like a guy with a toothache being forced to smile, he must have been scared.
Yes, music and a musician's world has been a tough spot.
Then when it really took off though, it wasn't in the 30's or 40's or even 50's it was the 60's when artists started to become something more than a resemblance of a ventriloquist's dummy and could start to assert themselves.
I mean Elvis, he was just lucky, lucky that his fingertips dripped talent, lucky that he had the looks, but even the pressures of life finished him off, and he is, after all, one of the artists who was doing well out of it.
Now take Jimi Hendrix, I understand him, he didn't worship mone

Hi guys
thanks for all that, Dr T, your blurbs were one of the first things I read when I joined this site, and I still read them very carefully------the message is the same told in a myriad of ways! Product Recalls, yes your music has a relevance and is not just to a stereotype! That's why I play it.
So what I am going to put up here, are a few facts & figures which prove that certain Governments and their cronies are taking the world to hell in a handcart ,and if you ain't fighting against them then you are also part of the problem!
As George W. Bush would say "you are either with us, or against us"
there is no opting out!
Fact: The Chinese military machine has increased it's annual Budget by 18%
taking it to US$65.5 Billion p.a.
This is still only 10% of the USA military budget run by the Neo Con
Hawks of the Bush Administration!
So what! you may say / We have to protect ourselves!!
Fact ; In the USA (the land of the free) The top 1% of the very
rich, have more wealth than the bottom 90% (that's you!)
and each day , each week, that figure is increasing!
Who are the idiots here? not Bushco!

Thank you silverwood for your nice words.
Product recall as in return of the goods.
We couldn't really call our selves return of the music with balls.
where has all the music with balls gone, i have not heard anything really with balls since nirvana, sure there is some great bands out there, rancid, transplants, to name two (one if you consider they are the product of Tim Armstrong) , but there is no real rock band out there that i am aware of that has any balls, i thought rock music was about being close to the edge and not caring about it, about being aggresive and honest, having a message and finding meaning to everything that makes up our lives. where is hunger the desire the need?
who's got the balls?

Hi ho Silver Lining
Good points(s).
I went to Asia a few times, through all of those countries we hear about now on the news for all the wrong rwasons. Iran, Afghanistan. I won't say it was dead easy travelling there, even way back when/then, I travelled mostly all al;one, and along the way, took up with others spontaneously until one or the other(s) went some other direction. I was in Afghanistan before the Russians (well, more accurately, before the soldiers from the former Soviet Union), I was in Iran before the exiled Khomeini, decided to return from France, where he'd been for ages.
I learned a frew things. At base level, nearly everyone I met, was okay to me, I never got robbed, raped, kidnapped, beat up, I was helped, by people who were strangers to me, who would get nothing from me. I travelled with the lowest of low budgets, but I ate each day. I learned what the word humble meant. It changed me, waiting for food, eating less, learning the value of water, it all changed me very much. It was like going back in time then realising/discovering, in Europe and other developed parts of the world, we also did not always have machines or such an abundance, or running water.
I loved Asia and still do.
But, what came as a shock, was to see people in Pakistan, living on nearly no money at all, then hearing how Pakistan spent 92 % of the Gross National Income on weapons, now this was back in the 70's so I just know they never turned the tap off, in fact they opened it even further. There is so much going on that people realise, because, is it really fear that would cause Pakistan to go on and on acquiring as much military hardware as possible?
Surely, if they left India alone, nobody would have attacked Pakistan, Pakistan an ex British colony, Britain indebted to Pakistan in a way and quite ready to still stick up for it, if there had been any outright madness, such as some force invading Pakistan, but, it isn't and wasn't like this. There is more and was more going on.
One who is in no way a religionist could hardly grasp why two countries would truly hate each other, two countries that used to be one but because of the conflict between Hinduism and Islam, separated, land divided up, milliobs separated. So, is it Kashmir that causes the military governments of Pakistan to act like the whole world is going to invade them and then especially India?
It is the Kashmir question, but it isn't even that, because there is far more, trhere is wider Asia, and there are self-interests of all of these powerful military people, generals and more, at the heart of it, so in fact, the game of being one of the ones to have nuclear armoury, is at the centre of it all.
Without it, it means they assume - countries like Pakistan and India, that they are nobody, that anyone can threaten them, anyone like America, which is not anyone but a country, consist of many-ones, AND in a way, it is true, they are not taken seriously when they do not have these nuclear killers, but once they do, the main powers know that they cannot just do any old thing to them anymore.
So, who is to blame in this?
The ones who try to stand up for themselves, to force their right to equality, or is it the original bad-doers, the ones who have made sure our world is run by the ones who have the nuclear might. After all, nothing is a separate deal, Horisima and Nagasaki were real, and the second World War was decided by these very weapons.
How the world was then run after the end of war, has everything to do with these weapons, the power, that, logically, if any single one of the Gods of any single one of the religions has any value has any truth any vision of greater and higher love, would definitely say, away with this, it goes against everything we are.
So I'm wondering, what seems to be, is not, and what seems not to be, truly is/
We are blaming, and acting, but the ones who are truly to blame, if anyone is to blame, do not get the blame, bec
