it’s what I know

most of my blogs (or most of each one) are about my Musical adventures…writing almost exclusively about myself may seem self-centered, but it’s what I know best…went out last night to a Blues jam, had lotsa fun…Music I know, Religion, Politics? Not so much…

I’m having a somewhat low-key argument with someone on youTube over the background vocals of a song by the 5th Dimension…it helps that this is a video we’re talking about…Billy (the lead vocalist) is singing “Everybody sez I’m quite insane…” *I* think the vocal counterpoint is “nut nut nut nut”–the other members of the group (Florence, Marilyn, Ron and Lamont) are POINTING at Billy…THAT makes sense…It doesn’t make sense to ME to point at Billy singing THAT line and sing “nah nah nah nah”…that’s what the argument is about…And what does it say about me that I can name the members of the 5th Dimension WITHOUT checking Wikipedia? Don’t answer that…and ask yer parents who the hell the 5th Dimension were…

I KNOW there are way WAY more important things going on in the World, I’m doing the best I can…I’ve done what *I* can do for the Fukishima 50…what has Bill Gates done? or that f**king Donald Trump? (sigh) Okay, enough…gotta watch the blood pressure…

    Remember, the origin of the word “blog” was “web log”… A log is a recording of one’s own personal adventures and such. Somewhere along the line, blogs became associated with big issues and politics and changing the world, what have you. But that’s not how they started.

    Keep on keeping on!
