The weather and Marmite
It was (I think..) Mark Twain who said the worst winter he ever experienced was summer in San Francisco. Having spent the worst March on record in SF I know what he means! Though
SF has a lot going for it in any event, some good music included and we hope to get there sooner rather than later. But here with no Spring and an endlessly bitter east wind it seems that, as ever, the weather reflects our living condition.
With up to 50 billion being pumped into the economy and banks continuing their headlong drive down the toilet, baling out all over the place with rights issues and selling everything they've got, it seems The Treasury and the Bank Of England have come up with a really BIG idea.
Yep, a stunner. It's brilliant. Mindblowing. Worthy of the greatest of minds. Move over Einstein. Move over Keynes. Move over Jesus and the Saints. Move over the beginning of the f******whole world - why don't we all go back to the f****** war!!? Why don't we issue Government Bonds! Oh yeah! Eeeeeexxxcellent! Lease people's OWN money back to them to prop up a whole host of bozos who've f***** up in the first place. Genius.
And while we're at it, let's give everyone a Government Issue pack. Y' know candles, Marmite, rice, sugar, bread, half -a-dozen eggs, flour and a 'hope' bag we can wear over our heads just in case! 'Cos that's how it's going.
Jeez! It's completely asshole. And while we're about it why don't we stick a white hot poker up the rectums of the good 'ol footsoldier and abolish the 10p tax rate!!?? Sure 'ol Brownie tried slippin' it in last time round. But what's happened since expels that myth. Just look at the shower at the top. Sad. And the warning sings have been written on the wall for some time. No one wanted to heed them. Then.....shock horror when it happens. No one wants it. It's madness.
As, whatever's reported, Iraq ('jaw jaw's better than war,war?!') also continues to go totally belly up, with sooooo much money being flushed down the bog of moral turpitude, misplaces righteous zeal and oh yeah - oil. Which is rising at an alarming rate whilst OPEC coins it like there's no yesterday - which there won't be.
Meanwhile there's a lotta good out there too.... and there's always music, the constant in one's life. And for MOTR there's a lot going on, so power on eh. Just power on. Stay on the mission.
