Joe Biden's Return

No one is reading my posts anyway.  I use this writing venue as a way to maintain my sanity in an insane world.  My mother recently has had a roller coaster ride of medical issues including an L3 compression fracture of her back.  We have been at doctor's appointments for the last months, and consequently I have no musical expression.  The only expression I have is of survival.  I feel no blues, no gospel optimism, or any clever or sophisticated jazz.  I am waiting for the musical expression to come to me, and it hasn't.  Evidently there isn't any.  Instead it is extreme meteorological low pressure, excessive rainfall, stagnant airflow, and humidity.  It is hell.  Try to get musical vibration going during these conditions is next to impossible.  Why?  The answer is, which easily could and will be disputed by our ignorant president seeing as everything that is not in his interest is a scam, a hoax, or fake news, musical expression largely which should be driven by emotional expression is communicated through and by air.  Air you say?  Thusly, in the words of Alton Brown.  Thusly.  Thusly music must have air to exist.  Scientifically it cannot exist in a vacuum.  No air, no music.  At the moment we are low on air, thus low pressure.  A low pressure cell is a weather front which has little air pressure.  Its essence is its lack of air.  Where is this air?  Our government, President Obama to be exact, suggested we have a CO2 tax.  This is an emissions tax.  Because President Trump has removed the majority of federal governmental oversight by not funding necessary agencies and leaving integral leadership positions vacant, a void of responsibility has been created.  During his three and a half years of presidency, more harm has been done to America than easily can be traced.  We are seeing the results of this irresponsibility during the Covid 19 pandemic.  Other than the depressing, misleading, and corrupt new reporting on television evening news, many things have corrected themselves during the "Shutter at Home" event.  Bicycle shops have flourished.  People have been more communal and active with their immediate families.  A fair amount of bullshit has been sifted out of our lives.  Back to music.  Music is communication, and it is necessary because in this Age of Information, we have little information.  We have sound bytes.  We have video.  We have tweets, posts, user groups, and instagram, but what we don't have is communication of enlightening nature.  Once our public schools, colleges, and universities were the hub of this kind of communication.  That has been changed, and now the iPhone has taken this role.  Contrast and compare the information on your iPhone with the information contained in a human group.  The difference is cyber life verses real life.  For several decades I have known this would be America's juncture.  Human evolution would either go back to the humanities or choose to live in cyber space for the next few centuries.  Perhaps cyberspace has been interesting enough until now.  Now the internet is wrought with misinformation, misleading propaganda, and utter decisive, politically motivated slander.  Not only that it has sapped the economic potential of many once viable industries which provided income to millions of people.  To mention a few, the music industry, retail, and pornography have been rendered mostly impotent by a T3 line.  That is pretty powerful and not really fair.  Who decided that pornography should be free to the consumer?  That is not very economically wise.  Who decided American popular music should no longer have monetary value?  Who decided the grassroots infrastructure of American life no longer was relevant?  When the world begins to fail and the computer systems are rendered inoperative, growing a vegetable, finding clean naturally occurring water, and breathing clean air will take precedence over anything.  Still our President lives much of his live in a gold gilded castle in Florida.  He does not understand that when Jesus returns to Earth for his second coming, those who have accepted him dead and alive will be transported to a new planet of His making, and the rest will be left to die horrible deaths on the deteriorating Earth.  This is not so far in our distant future.  What does this have to do with music?  The death of the Earth and the human race all ready has begun, and again we are seeing it now.  Simple remedies could save us now, but the small group of autocratic power players who hold most of the purse strings have proven to be deluded, demented, and self centered.  They are not capable in any way shape or form of leading the United States or her people.  In essence we are in the midst of a lame duct Congress and Presidency, and in historical fashion they are reaching their hands into the cookie jar and taking the last Oreo before departing Washington.  It is our responsibility to choose a new leadership in November, one capable of understanding reality and who cares about the people who have built and inhabit America.  Wish us luck.
