First of all part one of this article can only be found on line, but you are invited to tune in - - " "Oh, this IS on Line? Well- - - uh just forget what I said". Actually part one of this article can be purchased at your local GMCO dept store if you can find one that's still open for $3.98. Welcome to another Gospell According to Thomas, but unlike the one in the Bible, this one seems to have material nobody else has. For instance did you know that the Bush family as in George Herbert Walker and Barbra really wanted Jeb Bush to be President in 2000 because he was "the smart one" whereas George W was just a druggie with no mind left. But that Karl Rove overrode their decision. Now we are hearing stories of a Jeb Bush candidicy revival because of the lingering liklihood of a brokered republican convention. And if this is the case this could be perhaps the ONLY threat to the democrat's electoral happiness in November. That's because Jeb Bush was a moderate Florida governor, apparently more so than Marco Rubio is now. And he speaks fluid Spanish and has a Hispanic wife, which could help him immesurably in the fall and steal away all those Latinos who are put off by Romney's immigration policies. Of course you know that President Bush wanted a "path to citizenship" for illegals when he was in office but the intransigent Republicans just wouldn't go there.
Now the government is telling us that half or our pork meat, or perhaps half of ALL meat is infected with the CC 398 virus. But there are problems with factory farms. You know they shoot up the meat with antibiotics and such. When I had Hepatitis B I wondered aloud whether all those chemicals might actually help me if I ate more meat. But now as you may or not know hospitals are ravaged by the MERS flesh eating virus, among so many flesh eating viruses now. Contrary to what Hartman says we had this problem in early 1997 with the legondary Mad Cow disease mainly in England, where they don't have our laws. And that was the "spongelitus' virus that invades your brain cells and turns the tishue into a useless sponge like quality. By the way I don't know where I heard the following, and it might have even been in a dream. But I heard that the biggest reason why the Jews are not allowed to eat Pork, is because human flesh when it's eaten tastes like pork, and they didn't want it to be some kind of a "gateway sin" to canabalism. Anyhow this MRSA virus is resistant to all antibiotics. The reason for this is that some human virus was spread to Pigs, and then while in the pig's system this virus as if some "evolution incubator" morphed into the MRSA virus and in the process picked up immunity to all vaccines. I've heard the same thing happened with chickens in one of the killer flue virus like the Influenza outbreak of 1918. So the MRSA is now immune to all forms of injection of whatever anti biotic substance known to man. I would not want to succumb to any flesh eating virus.
There is a murder convict on death row in Alabama waiting to be executed sometime this month. But you know that commercial about "He says he did it". Well, someone else confessed to the crime this man was convicted for and sentensed to death, and that other man said "I did it". But the High Court of Alabama doesn't want to hear it. Also this guilty man knows that the murderer wore a whig. And the prisoner has therefore asked that DNA test be run on this whig, which they still have and he says "If there is one shred of my DNA on that whig I'll gladly go to the chair" or whatever. But the Alabama High Court isn't having any of this because for them an "appeal" is not a matter of making a finding of Truth, but rather "checking off all of the boxes". And since all of the boxes have been checked off, this innocent man will be put to death sometime this month in Alabama. Of course corruption abounds in the Court system. Clarence Thomas' wife was interviewing applicants for the Bush Administration when the election itself was still up in the air. They used to say to avoid even the appearence of Evil. But then someone discovered this was a Greek Bible translation error (seriously) and the correct rendering is "avoid every form of Evil". I don't see how Clarence Thomas can rule on anything with a straight face knowing how politically "up to it up to her neck" his wife is with these lobby groups. And in another case Dick Chaney went duck hunting with Justice Scelia and two weeks later Justice Scelia ruled in Dick's favor on a pending issue. We have the finest courts money can buy. And since most State Judges are election, now Millions of dollars are spent by political action comittees to elect the Judges them want. Wow!
MIND WANDERINGS: I think John Lennon songs that rip off other artists are the ones that sound better. For instance "Just Gimme Some Truth" is one of my all time favorite John Lennon songs, both lyrically and musically. Obviously there is a bit of an "Abbey Road" hangover "sound" to it. But actually it shows strong indications of being a musical rip-off of "Bell Bottom Blues" by Derek and the Dominoes, released just a few months earlier back in May of 1971. We move on now to Martian Games. And no, Alex, I didn't know that Romulus and Rebus were sons of Mars. I never heard that. Anyhow we have "Tight As", which is a song that rhythmically may have been inspired by a Ray Stevens song like "Ahab the Arab". Then we come to "I See My Sin", which is a slow blues number. This might have been inspired by a combination of "I Can't Quit You" or else that Blues number on track four side two of "A Salty Dog". The author may have been thinking in terms of "two key notes" ruling the song. In "I Can't Quit You" there is one loud note- - and the next one goes up. Skipping to "Freeda People", actually this song tracks closely with a Cat Stevens song off of the album "Catch Bull and Four" or something rel fall of 1972 called "Common Cause", which was the second biggest hit off the album. "Intuition" is kind of a rip off of "As Time Goes By". "Out of the Blue" is kind of like a morph update of "Maybe I'm Amazed" with a few Sexy Sadie chord progressions thrown in. Not to go Romulan on you but Richi Valenz had his own way of performing "What's Going Down", after the fact, I assure you. I don't know if Richi ever put it on tape but I saw him perform it - - and I guess that's Sandy Zimmerman on drums. My take on Richi's "take"is that it's louder and rockier than this song needs to be. We come to "Meat City". Maybe John wanted something real "Wild" here. I guess, kind of like the photograph for this posting. The last track on "Other Voices" (I'm about the only person who has this album) features a rather frenziac and wild "trailer" reminicent of some song off a Santana album or something - - like flashing Neon lights and the whole bit. Well John already had "New York City" and this song just fits as a suitable successor to that one.
Many think the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. You can make just as good of a case that in reality the tribes of "Israel" were slaves in the North to a foreign King who worshipped a different God, perhaps from other countries. The Israelites worshipped the golden calf. And so they had an Altar at Dan and another Altar at Beth El, the north and south extensions of their land. The new king was especially ruthless saying "I little finger is thicker than my father's loins" and also "My father chastized you with whips. I will chastize you with scorpions". The time frame was rather earlier than people think being perhaps 1600 or 1700 BC. Now the nation gained independance because Egypt came and kicked the occupying nation's ass and stole all their gold. There is a Federation myth that Joseph was really a dealer in slaves and his sympathies lay with Egypt and so he recruited people to come and serve as slaves in Egypt where the conditions were far better and the food was better. But the people of the land arose up and slew him and threw him in a pit, where he died.
