Spencer's Corner

Was it worth it? No. Nobody won. Everybody lost. We gained nothing.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Obama lied.
Mr. President, you say you’re doing everything, but you aren’t doing enough.
A veteran of the Iraq war who lived down the street from me had his benefits shut off.
As a result, he broke into a house and stole an AK-47 with Ammo.
For eight hours, our neighborhood was on lockdown. SWAT had to be called in.
He surrendered peacefully, and he is getting the help he needs…but at such a cost.
Over 100 THOUSAND men, women and children died based on a lie.
Over 100 THOUSAND men, women and children were wounded, crippled or maimed
All because of a lie.
No one, absolutely no one is calling for the Prosecution of the people in the Bush Administration.
Why? Because the American People have turned into Sheeple.

Nothing can take away the memories I have of that terrible day.
I was sitting in my apartment in Austin when Mom called me and told me in a shaking voice to turn on the TV.
As I turned on the Today Show, I saw what should have been the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. There was only one and I kept thinking to myself as I saw the fire, smoke and ash rising from the first tower, “Where’s the other building?”
Then the second tower fell. Somewhere above me, I heard my neighbor scream. Long, drawn out and horrified.
I tried to tell myself that this was a movie I was watching, but it wasn’t.

I remember the shock, the horror, the disbelief and the sorrow. Then when I heard that we had been attacked by foreign terrorists, I felt this all consuming rage.
Now that the evil Bin Laden is dead and his kind are world fugitives, being hunted and killed like the dogs they are, my thirst for revenge is satisfied.

God Bless the United States of America.

At one time I dabbled in the Black Arts that I would destroy my enemies.

The reason why Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears do such strange things on stage is simply this: They have no real talent! Their shows are heavy with production work to hide this fact. LIGHTS! FX! Dancers and strange outfits or slutty dresses! They are meant to overload your senses.
Do you know why Kanye West is with a Record Label? He had to create one! That’s because no one in their right mind would take him. Not only does he have no talent, but he has a bad attitude. I just can’t be bothered with that shit.
The Beatles didn’t use Auto-Tune or heavy production work on stage.
They kept it simple: Drums, Bass, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, a lead vocal and 2 harmony vocals.
Alas, I miss the “good ol’ days” when Music was Music and it wasn’t Computerized Synthesized Garbage.

For the fifth time, all my journal entries have been lost when updates to those Journal Apps have been updated.
For this reason, among others, I am switching to WordPress.
I will have a lot more private entries now.
I am concerned about foreign spammers gaining access to my bLog.

The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?

I have a problem with punks like Kanye West and Chris Brown who THINK they can sing but can’t.
They don’t have any REAL talent and so they use people like Rhianna to ride on her skirts to fame
and/or they use software such as AutoTune to hide the fact that they can’t really sing.
AutoTune singing has become a Meme. It’s a joke.
No one takes these so called “Artists” seriously, so no one will hire them to a reputable label.
What happens next?
Well, the so called “Artist” hooks up with a REAL TALENT such as Rhianna, for instance
and he romances her for the money he would need to start his own record company.
Then when they see themselves fading from the public spotlight, they get pissed off and they rail and complain, they rage and then they lose control
and beat up the girl they “love” or they break a window like Chris Brown this morning at ABC on “Good Morning America”.
These so called artists are nothing but hoods, thugs, criminals, failures. People like these “artists” aren’t even Gang material because
they would even fail at that.
Kayne, why don’t you get your ass out there and do something constructive? Why not teach kids these days how NOT to be a miscreant?
Chris, you have violated your probation in a most violent manner. Be exceedingly glad that I am not your judge, because I would have a warrant out for your arrest
and I would have your ass in jail before nightfall.
Alas, gone are the days of the true artists: John Lennon, George Harrison, The Grateful Dead, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Belushi, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley,
Phil Collins, Joni Mitchell and so many others.
The Music Business needs to change its tune before the Public turns a deaf ear to it.

Ah yes, the dulcet tones of that Fender Rhodes does it for me,
as does Paul’s singing about that “old lover” and the kind of man he is.
I can relate to the depression, too and that
as someone once said, “Wanting is not the same as having….”
And I’ve sworn off Love, at times taking comfort in my alone-ness
because I’ve seen the things that love can do
and what love can drive a man to.
So you sit down with a couple of friends
and you raise a glass over odds and ends
and you pretend that it doesn’t hurt
until you almost start believing it.
