The Word-Drum

 Elvin: On The One   

You usually need a big ego to succeed. Attention is gained with a bold stroke(not for NPR listeners).

I admire those who assert themselves to the limit, whose power is matched with their confidence. I want to play with a drummer who has a big ego. When they hit the drums it’s like a king (or a Jones). What is Tony Williams but an explosion of the will!?

 With nothing behind a big ego you are a phony(Community Organizer and Chief). But the real brilliant have many enemies too. They are passionate and true to their message. Music has its own abstract truth. Truth in reporting, commentary and culture, needs big egos with a righteous message. Not like Word-Drum blowing over the headlines and windmills of my mind. But like Elvin Jones coming down on the one with Trane and McCoy.

 truth sways the future (Pastor Manning)

Elvin Jones was a beautiful man. He spoke and played with eloquence. Yet he dared to extend the tradition and changed music. He left an indelible mark. I speak of his musical ego, which had to assert itself at full force to make the music created by The John Coltrane Quartet.

If society doesn’t break down, we're going to need a new media outlet. I suggest something like a conservative NPR.  An Anti-NPR.  But as well produced as them. Where they are dry and boring, our Radio Liberty should be funny and interesting to conservatives not liberals.

I love good radio, but let’s face it, TV is the battlefield that must be entered, and a battle waged for the mind and soul of the average American.

Last year I attempted to produce some shows for local TV. In my town the local channel is controlled by a bunch of whacked out freaks. I wanted to run Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch videos. This was before they were picked up by Hot Air. As well as shows featuring Dr. Zuhdi Jasser and Uncle Jimbo from Black Five. Uncle Jimbo is an outstanding broadcaster and one of my favorites in New Media.  I had to join the board of the local station to be a producer. Looking at the members, I could see that they would never do anything I proposed.  They will continue to feature New Age creeps, UFO nuts. and Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now(Communism Later).

The new media outlet must start on the web. But the goal is somewhere on Basic Cable. It won’t be conservativism driving the channel, but quality. Old fashioned broadcasting standards. Professional broadcasters, actors, writers and producers. Deep voices, well modulated, speaking without hesitation or errors.

Joel Surnow tried to create a comedy show for Fox News. It was a good effort, but it’s failure should not deter him, and others from trying again. Humor is too serious to be left to liberals. That’s my battlefield. A massive attack is needed. An alternative to Fox News is also necessary. We can build on their success. I can’t stand O’Reilly and many of the others there. Shlep Smith ain’t a conservative. Let’s give liberal pukes a real target.

  The mystic of the 60s is so dead. Self-styled revolutionaries like Bill Ayers were a bunch of sick f-ck spoiled pukes. The music was great. There will never be a time like the late 60s. When Rock and Roll became Rock. There was a window there when anything was possible. Hendrix took the flame from Coltrane as musical high priest, and holder of the eternal energy of life and the universe. But it’s all subjective.

Where did the flame go after Jimi?

It dispersed and his music has become a category in itself. For me, starting in the Grunge Era, the spirit of Rock was reborn and developed further. I never went with the whole “Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll,” thing. I’m OK with the first two but my parent’s music was Rock and Roll(back then), my music was Rock.

I am an advocate of “The Generation Gap.” All these Boomers making little liberals is why we are so f-cked. Bill Ayers said “Kill Your Parents.” That was a bit extreme but one should cut the cord sometime. Not with just music and fashion, but where it really counts: ideas.

Their “ideas” back then were communism. Don't go there. That sh-t will kill you or make you wish you were dead. You can dig the music boys and girls just forget the rest. 

  There was a window for Hip Hop too... wish it would open up again or go away.

This is my blog (bullshit-log).  It’s my bullshit.  It never forgets 9/11 or those who serve in the military.  I try to make it funny but it’s not always possible.

   Question: When did you choke up during the inauguration?

I liked the music and was glad that Aretha performed. But what choked me up was seeing W wave goodbye after the ceremony. 

Here comes another Democrat party. There are so many since liberals love to regularly give themselves awards.  It's another excuse for a fabulous party.  Now they have won the biggest prize. 

Some of us are wondering about another kind of celebration. True, liberals have had a great victory, but so have our troops in Iraq. Will the new era, with it’s many links to the past of the 1960s and 70s treat our returning victorious troops like we treated the Vietnam veterans? 

Word-Drum says:  Don't let it happen again.

    Broke, under-employed and still pissed-off at the choices of "the American People,"  BUT I WANT TO PARTY!  I want to see a huge parade and celebration for all those who serve in the military and veterans, esp. from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. 

Let the lights and cameras flash on them, I could care less about the Hollywood idiots. They never gave me any movies about the heroic struggle of our troops in Iraq.  I had to create them in my own imagination, since Hollywood is hopelessly filled with limited creativity and heart. They are constrained by liberalism and spreading it like a disease.

  Meathead and Smugass 

After the party, when we go back to our daily routines, the energy of the celebration will continue and keep us off that fatal road of disrespect. This American needs to show respect and love for our outstanding military (but not in a "gays-in-the-military" way). It would do them and me, a lot of good. Let us welcome home the troops and finally welcome home the Vietnam Vets too.

But for now we will all see the big party in DC. Not all of us will be filled with joy and excitement.  I will be thinking of my party and what is in store for those I wish to celebrate.

And what’s in store for all of us in a world run by liberals. Will our liberty survive? Will the killers for Islam prevail?  Will the Muslims and the Left be celebrating soon at the destruction of Israel and then America?

Obama is trying to channel old Honest Abe Lincoln. That could come in handy if we have another civil war.
