Bagism
Which led to this: And for the younger members in the audience: Bagism was created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as part of their extensive peace campaign in the late 1960s. The intent of bagism was to satirize prejudice and stereotyping. Bagism involved wearing a bag over one’s entire body. According to John …
Midnight
Oh Midnight was the champion He is the only bronc I couldn’t ride But now I hear old Midnights blind And rides little children for a dime It’s silly me for me to feel sad for a fictional horse from a song that’s nearly fifty years old. I’m ridiculous. Full lyrics HERE.
Domino
By French artist Arman (1928-2005)Pexiglass and resin with dominos And that, of course reminded me of this: Fun fact: linguists have been hard at work since 1970 trying to decipher what the hell he’s saying, so far without result.
Bang A Gong

I Had An Amplifier, Too

The Future
The Second Coming by W.B. Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are …
1966
“The trouble with government as it is is that it doesn’t represent the people, it controls them. All they seem to want to do– the people who run this country– is keep themselves in power and stop us knowing what’s going on… I’m not saying politicians are all terrible men. It’s just the system of …
Saved

I’m Just
The song is just okay, but I love the fifteen-second drum solo at the beginning. Full lyrics HERE.
What’s So Funny?
I don’t think getting a laugh is a good enough reason to be unkind. Comedian Tim Hawkins has done a bit for years where he mocks vegans. He perpetuates the stereotype that we’re all weak and dizzy, and makes it clear that we are not at all like the “normal” people in his audience who …
