There's a dragon with matches loose on the town

oh yes, there is a fire brewing on the mountain …..just saw the channel 7 news scroll......101 year old woman stabbed to death in her apartment in NYC....what pray tell could a 101 year old woman do to deserve meeting such a violent end......and the next story ?? a Nanny beat a 23 "MONTH" old child to death...….the pot continues to stir.....the cauldron churns, don't adjust your television sets ladies and gentlemen, it's just the Bronx Burning Down ( Howard Cosell)…….august is gonna be a scorcher.....take a whole pale of water, just to cool him down.

There's a starman waiting in the sky

great story in the NY Post about an FDNY fireman in Williamburg who see's and interacts with UFO's, aliens, Ghosts and Angels......his dead dog often visits him on the Lightship and he once saw Abraham Lincoln at a Fire.....best story I have read this month......may have to use our influence to see if our favorite Battalion Chief can get this Guy to Sweater Nite 21.....get on the case Duff....this guy will be the entertainment, who needs Mac?

Beaky Buzzard

that was the funny character on the bugs bunny cartoons....he used to fly around singin " My momma done told me, to bring home somethin for dinner"..., and then Bugs would get him all confused and ask him questions and while he pondered the answer he would scream "Don't tell me now, don't tell me"......that must be what's going on in Toronto this week.....in case you missed it.....a gunman ….Faisal Hussein ; walked the streets randomly shooting people...killin a 10 year old girl and wounding dozens....authorities were stumped for a motive.....really ? I can tell you one thing...Faisal probably wasn't a disgruntled Leafs fan disappointed with James Van Reimsdyk signing with the flyers ( that would be me)…...oh, silly side note....ISIS claimed responsibility......but let's not rush to judgement...….

Just Like New York City

Just like Jericho...….remember the week before Hurricane Sandy ? I do......it was a bizarre week......a nanny on the upper west side murdered two kids in her care in a bathtub and said she was possessed to do so.....a NYC Cop was arrested as he prepared to kidnap and Cook two people....The Cannibal Cop as the NY Post labled him...and there were more truly insane stories that surfaced in the days leading up to the big storm....some people even theorized that the pressure of the Massive storm was the driving force that sent people that teetered on the brink of insanity.....over the edge.....the heat has a way of driving people over the edge too... this August I think we will see an explosion of insanity in this fair city....America has been boiling since Election Day 2016...I have a strange feeling the lid will pop off next month....high humidity, rising temps and general ill will amongst the masses...I can feel it coming....I just hope that I am in the sanctity of Club Gato when it does....Pace the halls and climb the walls Get out when they blow ( Garcia/Hunter)

I was sittin home alone one night

in L.A. watchin Ol Cronkite...on the seven o'clock news ( Dylan) now I am certainly not an advocate for watching the evening news too closely, it's a horribly slanted attack on our nation....but it is important to watch from a distance just to see what our enemies are up to.....I atch with the sound on Mute and occasionally a video will get my attention and I have to see what exactly is happening...….lately it's been all the same.....grainy, bodegaesque phootage from apartment building security cameras and street survelience etc etc.....but the them is the same.....the natives are getting restless in the heat.....restless and Bold......mistaken identity murders by machette…...everyday attacks on the elderly for pennies on the dollar....and attempted rapes in public places....most recently between 2 parked cars on the upper east side...…...the common criminal can smell weakness in the air....its a return to the days of Dinkins.....a lawlessness that invades the senses and stenches the entire city.....Mookie blaylock has no concern for consequences...…...animales gonna do whatever the fuck animales want.....the crock pot is simmering.....come august it's gonna blow...…………………………….Didn’t seem like much was happenin’, So I turned it off and went to grab another beer.. Seems like every time you turn around There’s another hard-luck story that you’re gonna hear..... And there’s really nothin’ anyone can say..... And I never did plan to go anyway, ... To Black Diamond Bay (

We've got to move these refrigerators

We gotta move these color TV's... that's what mark knofler and Dire Straits were joking about in the mid 80's classic " money for nothing and chicks for free" ( chicks was later changed to drinks for free in Slapstick's).....and on an absolutely ridiculous serious note....good ole Chicago appears to be the first city ready to roll out UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME..... don't scratch your head trying to figure it out America....it is exactly what it sounds like..... Money for Nothing.....the African American has officially waved the white flag and surrendered..... for the past century we have knocked down every excuse....we can't get promoted or hired.....ok here's affirmative action.....we can't afford to live in good neighborhoods and go to good schools.....mandated affordable low income housing in every neighborhood....we can't get into good colleges.....the diversity movement and the elimination of standard testing.....we can't get jobs in this economy..... historically low unemployment....what now buckwheat ? Ok, ok,ok.....we really don't want to work....we are untrainable and have zero work ethic... give us basic income so weezie can axe like we got jobs....... knofler was right.... banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee.

And when you hear that song

Come crying like the wind,it seems like All this life...was but a dream..... Stella Blue.( Hunter/Garcia)......and if it is but a dream, it has been a good one...I sit in the yard on a postcard perfect Saturday, drinking ice cold delicious beeeeeer, listening to the soothing sounds of the Grateful Dead and watching my Metsies on TV.....accompanied by my faithful dog Matteau Matteau....man's best friend.... what else is there ?.. I'm not looking for much more....as Jackson Browne would say.... when the mornin light comes streaming in...we get up and do it again...amen.....none of it matters in the end, it's the days between that matter...."All the years combine they melt into a dream A broken angel sings from a guitar In the end there's just a song comes crying like the wind through all the broken dreams and vanished years"

Plunging like stones from a slingshot on Mars.

that unmistakable imagery was provided by John Perry Barlow of course and the black Throated wind....i'm in the midst of reading his autobiography..."Oh Mother, American Night"...and I do not want this book to end......as anxious as I am to turn pages and follow his incredible journey through this world, his front row seat to the show of a lifetime and his participation in the Greatest circus that Was/IS the Grateful Dead.....I just don't want to get to the end of this book......our hero dies at the end of course, and don't/wont we all.....I try to limit how many pages a day I allow myself to read on the train....he was a fascinating character.....and as I read it, another one of my nieces/nephews has followed my advice and joined this circus.....my niece Arielle went to her first Dead & Co show last Saturday at Dodger Stadium and was pleased.....in an angry, hostile world , where we are constantly attacked with media, social media and disturbing video news.....at a time where our country is literally fighting for our lives against the entire world....it is essential to take a breath, drink a beer (or 30 ) and listen to the Grateful Fucking Dead......that is the one, TRUE , constant....rest in peace Jerry, Pigpen, Brent and Mr John Perry Barlow....the lucky ones down here will never forget. The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in With its words of a lie that could almost be true. Ah, Mother American Night, here comes the light. I'm turning around, that's what I'm gonna do Goin back home that's what I'm gonna do Turnin' around, That's what I'm gonna do

Monmouth Park Sportsbook

debating whether I should stroll over to the track today and place a wager on the Red Army soccer team verses Saudi Arabia...…..Gov Murphy , Sweeney, Fatass Christie and Ray Lesniak will all be there for a photo op and to place an inaugural bet...…… maybe I should bring bail money...…..I plan on standing on the Bar at William Hill sportsbook and start screaming about NJ Transit , the horrible met life stadium and the lack of good delis, eatable pizza and decent Chineeze food.... maybe I should bring Matteau Matteau with me …..I know those guys will have security and I should probably have my canine bodyguard with me..... ** I used to type this stuff knowing full well my phone would ring in a few hours ( sometimes immediately ) with a call from the Woodman with 100 questions....I sure do miss that.....I hope he access to the blog in the afterlife.

hypocrisy

Gov Murphy is a pathetic liar

Gov Murphy went to the podium on Tuesday and said with a straight face that he had not yet seen the video of the girl on the beach being arrested in Wildwood..... think about that for a second...it can only be one of two things.... this was the biggest story in the state over the weekend, the national news picked up the story...do you really believe the governor's staff and aids didn't bring this to his attention before the press conference.....it's either willfull ignorance or a blatant lie......why do we continue to allow these filthy politicians to get away with this bullshit.... everything has to be so calculated.... nobody has the balls to make a statement until they see which way the wind is blowing.

Silence is deafening

I've been sitting in the yard for 2 or 3 days drinking beer and listening to satellite radio, I've had the BEATLES channel on quite a bit, thinking about my good friend Dano in every song, didn't know he loved the BEATLES til after he was gone, thinking about the Rollie dance and Traveling Wilburys, realizing that the Beatles were quite a piece of the fabric of our lives, even if they were never my personal focus, they surely played in the background of the soundtrack of our lives......" Once there was a way, to get back home ".... I miss you Danny , stay well brother.

J-E-T-S spells hypocrisy

Chris Johnson, the acting president of the laughable Jets and brother to Woody Harrelson ( a member of the TRUMP administration) ; says he understands if the players want to kneel during the Anthem and protest social issues.... he's okay with it and the players will NOT be fined.... now let's get back to selling our red, white and blue Jets hats with 9/11 never forget slogans, let's have a moment of silence and get some first responders on the field....to show how much we care....the league is already a collection of disgusting miscreants, but Jets ownership has really embarrassed themselves....the ink wasn't even dry on Goodells press release when Chris Johnson opened a can of worms to pander to the stymies on his football team... I'm a good white guy, I like darkies.

The Electric Kool aid Acid Test

I read that Thomas Wolfe non fiction account of Ken Kesey, The Merry Pranskters, the Grateful Dead and the Furthur Bus when I was a freshman in high school... and I too was influenced by Mr. Wolfe... just as I was by Kerouac, Dylan and Robert Hunter....rest in peace Tom ...you made a difference....."just think of the millions, from all over the globe, who yearned to be on that island, in those towers, on those narrow streets..there it was.. the Rome, Paris and London of the twentieth century, the city of ambition, the dense magnetic rock, the irrestible destination of all those who insist on being where things are happening " Thomas Wolfe

yes, you solved world hunger

but you put sooo many farmers out of business....that is the sick and twisted response these days by the democrats ...the ones who hate and fight every single thing PRESIDENT TRUMP does.......yesterday the President welcomed 3 American citizens home from imprisonment in North Korea ahead of the upcoming denuclearization summit.....Sen Chuck Schumer quickly criticized and downplayed this significant achievement....he aid....and I do quote...."North Korea should not be rewarded for capturing and then releasing American citizens".........right Chuck....we should follow Ole Spoony & Purple heart Kerry's lead....they struck a POS deal with Iran....gave them Billions of Dollars......and did not insist that American citizens being held in Iranian torture jails be released as part of the deal.....that's diplomacy.....you stupid cocksucker.....take of your Hate Glasses for one second and look at the world through an honest lense.

Derby Rant 2018

so last night I found myself sitting in the backyard as I often do, and I decide to start a FIRENZE FIRE in the old fire pit....I figured I was just a FLAMEAWAY from the PRMISES FULFILLED and so I poured a glass of VINO ROSSI and stared at the incredible MAGNUM MOON, I was ENTICED to sing ole SOLOMINI,...and I wondered how many LONE SAILOR were doing the same....just then I thought I heard MY BOY JACK comimg up the driveay with HOFFBURG and so I rushed with great BRAVAZO to BOLT D'ORO.....I was not in a COMBATANT mood and I really didn't need those MENDELSSOHN's with their INSTILLED REGARD. maybe I was to hasty, maybe I shouldn't have given the the FREE DROP BILLY...I mean after all they can be NOBLE INDY, they can stir up some GOOD MAGIC, but in the end, I don't have to JUSTIFY my AUDIBLE............and that boys and girls is the play today....AUDIBLE to win with Justify and Good Magic, and Magnum Moon to round out the supefecta....Good Luck to All.........I lost a valued reader this week, some of the fun of typing this nonsense left with him....lets enjoy what we got while we have it.

LIKE A STEAM LOCOMOTIVE

rollin down the track......he's gone....GONE......and nothins gonna bring him back......he;s gone. Rest in Peace my Friend....YOU were one of kind , I miss you already.

"come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again" b.dylan........ah the media....they smell blood in the water....there is a fraternity of jerkoffs at Syracuse that made a few stupid videos mocking blacks, gays and the disabled....real obnoxious stupid shit, but no real story or surprise.... worth about a 45 second blip, a few suspensions and let's move on..... BUT Noooo....this story grew legs. .. I have seen about a dozen different students, a pshycologist , local residents and at least one faculty member interviewed over the past 72 hours..all echoing the same sentiment...shock, anger, etc .......these frat guys are assholes yes, but they weren't trying to over throw the government and nobody was killed....but still channels 2,5 &7 we're camped out on campus, showing footage of the outside of the frat house were the video was supposedly filmed.... .it's funny ( not really), but I barely remember a peep out of the media when freshman Tim Piazza was indeed killed by his Penn State fraternity Brothers in a drunken hazing ritual.....and then an assistant football coach told the frat boys to erase text messages, and then they all lied to investigators and tried to erase security tapes, and they left Tim dying on the floor in the basement of the frat....and then a Kool aid drinking member of the PSU football cult, a Pennsylvania magistrate tried to dismiss all the charges before the DA brought the FBI into the case.... I don't remember the media camping outside the football stadium asking for interviews and student reaction....the complacent murderers are still awaiting trial on minor charges ( the more serious ones were apparently dismissed) although good luck finding details online.... it's as though it never happened.....rest in peace Tim, some of us will never forget......."don't speak too soon for the wheels still in spin....and there's no telling who that's it's naming.

Catch the Bull at 4:00

Why walk alone, why worry when it's warm over here ( Cat Stevens)..... Charging Bull might need some help from ole Cat Stevens to stay where he is at 2 Broadway..... having come to his senses and agreeing to move that snotty little shit, mutual fund prop; fearless girl.....POS Walter Wilhelm aka deblasio....has apparently decided to also move the the CHARGIN BULL...... seems I was right all along..... they too now realize that fearless girl means nothing without a big, bad symbol of male prosperity to challenge.... she's pointless, worthless and would probably tip over or rust without a bull or something (anything) to blame for her lack of Ascension up the corporate ladder....so the asswipe mayor is considering moving both statues to broad Street in front of the NYSE.... somebody better get in deblasio ear and give him some godfatherly advice..... leave the gun , take the canolis....or in this case...... Move the little girl , Leave the Bull alone.

Oh say can you see

Flag Day June 14th 1994, the Stanley Cup Rangers, and it all started with Mister John Amirante from Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx; attempting to sing the National Anthem.... I was standing in my perch of Row F , seat 18, in section 419 and I never heard a word..... the greatest start to the greatest night in team history.....for 35 years Mister Amirante graced the ice and our Shrine of MSG at 33rd & 8th, and although he passed yesterday, he will remain a part of that cup forever and will never be forgotten...∆∆side note∆∆.... Valerie and I attempted to hire him to sing the Anthem at our wedding in 97, but it was logistically impossible..... .Rest in Peace Mister Amirante.
