Taking a Beatle Break from 9 - 11

When I found out all the TV stations were doing “That 9 – 11 Stuff” instead of the usual news interview shows, I found myself in need of a Beatle break. They kicked the morning’s program off with “Imagine”, the one song nobody wanted D J’s to play after 9 – 11 so let’s give it to them – “In Your Face!”. Another song it warmed the cockles of my heart to hear this morning was “I Dig Love” from All Things Must Pass, including my relationship with Valerie M. I am pretty sure I also knew her from a previous life when I was trying to get over an old flame and she helped me out, as evidenced by the song “You’re Right, I’m Left, She’s Gone”. And I was there when “Cry, Cry, Cry” first played on Memphis radio. In my state of mind then looking back a few weeks previous, I found these lyrics vary much to my liking. I have some evidence that Valerie M. the “You” referred to in the lyric “And now I’ve gone and fallen for You”, was in fact both a “walk-out” and a “walk in”. One would think that upon my departure (from the body) that life became unbearable for her so she did likewise.

And now I’d like to do a song I just penned this morning, and I don’t know who I was channeling when I wrote this. I wanted perhaps a different word than “mandentory” in the first verse. I rather liked “spray-on”. “Involentary” would also have been a good choice but the person I channeled told me “The word is Mandentory”. So it is.

UP YOUR ASS

There you are – with your mandentory tan

You’re telling everyone - - that you’re Superman

Up your ass - - up your ass - - up your ass - -

You say you’re going to hold that line

But you got yourself outsmarted- - by Allan Klein

Up your ass - - up your ass - - up your ass

You’re deep in debt- - now you can’t pay the bill

You forgot to include- - that Poison pill

Up your ass - - up your ass - - up your ass

You say you’re gona block that kick

But you changed your mind – and you gave it a lick

Up your ass - - up your ass - - up your ass

Your teeth are clean - - but your mind is capped

You know you would have 9 Lives

- - - if you was born a Cat

Up your ass - - up your ass - - up your ass

You say you want to do right

But the Bushmen got to you

And now you feel your own pain

With every turn of the Screw

Up your ass - - up your ass - - up your ass

Your father left you

When you was small

In fact I’ve got news for you

You wasn’t born at all

(sung chorus is omitted this one time)

Now you say you’re going to - -

Re-draw the line

As you sink into a pool, - - - of excrement subline

Up your ass - - up your ass - - up your ass

---------

There’s a fog upon LA

Now my friends have lost their way

“We’ll be over soon”, they said

Now they’ve lost themselves instead

Dediticated to my comrades in Northfield, Minnisota, especially the three fallen, including Charlie Pitts, who died with his boots on, in a good old fashioned gun fight.

Can’t you see what’s going down?

You know the Rain Man’s coming to town

He’ll change your weather - - change your luck

And he will teach you, how to - - - Find Yourself

La ‘Merica - - La ‘Meerica

Jim Morrison was never in Norfield. I never said he was and he never claimed to be. I just like the ambience of this song. It fits the mood I’m trying to convey.

Since we’re already on page six I’ll note not to extend this file after this writing session. KLOS played the strings version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. This was one of the final acts of George Martin to score the strings on this track for the Beatles LOVE soundtrack. As you know this is the middle song of the anti Bill Hallidy trilogy on the White album. I’ll tell you one place I did not want to be the Sunday after that first 9 – 11 was in Bill Halliday’s church. I cam imagine the sort of vennum and hate that spewed from the pulpit that day. Anybody who was NOT there that Sunday can count it as a Victory in their lives. So that makes two songs by Denise De Lovely and one song by George Harrison. Of course I like the Anthology person myself even though it’s a little stark. That’s the general idea.. Some of these lyrics like “Mother Superior jumped the gun” I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about, except that Denise was Catholic. There will be a lot more 9 – 11 stuff in the next posting maybe later today.

I look from the wings at the play you are staging

While my guitar gently weeps

While I’m sitting here doing nothing but aging

While my guitar gently weeps

I wanted to comment on the line “Poison Pill” in the song. This poison pill refers to a provision in a piece of legislation or business contract that either prevents the whole thing from happening, or else insures it by “grabbing the other person by the short hairs and making them do things they ordinarily would not do”. T Boone Pickens faced this when he tried to buy out the Union Oil Company a decade or two ago, and they slipped in a poison pill. Obama could do this now with certain legislation if he wanted to.

I had a follow up lengthly visit from Mal Evans a few days ago. He is one Beatle that actually was at Norfield. Mal Evans was Bill Chadwell. I regarded Bill Chadwell as a friend of mine. Mal regarded me as playing second fiddle and subordinate to Cole. It was Cole’s idea by his own admission to do the Norfield bank job. However I don’t recall myself putting up any resistence to the idea. I guess Cole and I have an unspoken agreement. He won’t complain about my abandoning him perhaps to die, and I won’t complain about the heist being his idea in the first place. According to brother Bob it was some sentimental thing about carrying out a grudge against a Northern general or something. What I did not know until researching it last night (like a dog in pursuit of a bone I keep digging until I find what I’m looking for) I still didn’t know after Mal’s visit exactly WHAT got him ticked off in the first place. First of all it was Cole and not Mal who “committed the unpardonable sin of becoming a Christian”. Cole was philosophical about paying for his crime. “We committed the deed and I will abide by the consequences”. What Cole would never do is to rat out me and Frank. Frank has never been reincarnated and Charlie Pitts has never been reincarnated. Apparently Cole did time in a prison in Fargo, North Dakota. Don’t ask me how he got there. However there is one incident where Cole “behaved stupidly” to use a Presidential phrase. But then again there are vast portions of Jesus of Nazareth’s minister where I thought he “behaved stupidly”. While in prison it caught fire and was in danger of burning down. The prisoners had a decent chance to escape, and Cole talked the prisoners all into not doing that. It was kind of a St. Paul at Philipi moment for him. Would Cole rather they all died in their cells from the fire? Bob Dylan might have put it at the time “Que es para usted? Esta todos loco?” Anyhow- - Cole might be the one of two people, the other being Frank, who managed to secure some sort of Victory in the end. Cole was reincarnated as Johnny Cash according to Mal Evans. And Johnny Cash never did prison time. This is just a carefully constructed image he has. There were just a few overnighters in the city jail for drug possession. Mal Evans now tells me he picked the name “Ziggy’s Air Command” as a tribute to Johnny Cash’s Air Force Carrier. When I protested this he told me, “Actually you had other names in mind such as “Ziggy and the inter-planetary Raiders”, or “Ziggy and the U F Ono Band” or “Ziggy Stardust and the Druid Dudes”. Personally, those are better ideas. Both Cash and I along with Bones are Sirius “0” factor of course. As are, by the way the Romulan race. In case you are wondering the “Factor” means you are vulnerable to bad karma from Alcyonne, but if you don’t have the Immunity factors you are more vulnerable than those with out this “blood factor” at all, if you can follow that. Mal did say that it was a conversation with Cole, alias Johnny Cash, that put him in the state of mind he was. I think we have seen the “Obamaiszation” of Johnny Cash, wanting to prove he is more kiss ass than the rest. Apparently he had some “project” he was working on that’s under wraps now- - where I think he tried to enlist Cole’s alias Johnny’s help, but it was not forthcoming. Mal also talked more about genetics and the Cremorians - -(half reversed genetics Rizzonians and half Dardanian A) and refreshed my memory of stuff he told me 25 years ago that would take too long now. (it's a French short e, not "Cream") He did have a theory of why the Romulans left me in early fall of 1989. He said it was because of Kathy’s yellow cats. She used to have three of them and they died one by one- - and they afforded spiritual cover from Alcyonne, and as you know both Kathy and Nicholas are highly influenced by Alcyonne. He also said there was a group referred to as “the yellows” (as in cats?) that are avid “disciples of the topaz” so to speak. As you know that very first Ziggy’s Air Command page in the fall of 1977 did have the slogan “wear topaz in battle” but we’ve said little about it since. He also said “The Federation is a big place. There are lots of stars”. He wasn’t going to tell me more than that except perhaps George Harrison was in the land of “the yellows”. Of course in Romulan culture yellow isn’t a good color, but this is the Federation.
