Back from my intriguing two weeks in Mexico and already it has been two weeks here at home. Life continues at a pace that only I... only I ...if only I had a little more common sense, then perhaps I would be not trying to accomplish so much with so little available time and resources.

    The more you try to do the further behind you get.

    Still somehow I feel all will come together someday. In the mean time aiming towards pruning back.
   
    The Music in the Park undertaking has proven to be a rather huge project and all I can hope is 
that next year I make sure not to say Yes I can.

   With 3 shows in the books and 4 more to go all ...It's a Good Thing! As many remind me.

   Great music. I have heard some call San Anselmo a 'dead town' I don't go for that at all but
  their are times when I wonder...Where the heck are the people of my fine little town? Why  won't they come out and hang out and support their local musical artists? I'll forgive them and say simply that still the promotion for our event has been very weak and with lack of funds anyways lots of
room for improvement... Hey Guy! ...this year is far from over the people just don't know yet just relax it will happen. Take it Easy as my good friend from Saucillo. Elias would tell me... 'Take it easy..'

    Soul Pie was amazing this past Sunday. What a thrill and a privilege to have some kids from your local High School and Junior High, the oldest is 17 who make such fine awesome old-fashioned Rock! Jaw dropping..  Wow..! My ohMy!

    A Local merchant grabbed me on the street today and told me that I needed to be at a 7:30 candlelight service supporting the woman outside the President's Ranch. Forgive me I am not really into per/se supporting her but I am continually burdened by the deaths of so many on a daily basis over there and in support of the woman Cindy and even more so in support of those who are in Iraq today whose lives are threatened on a daily basis both Americans and Iraqis so many of them who are alive tonight will not be alive a month from now a year from now.. unbelievable that there is no traction in what needs to be a movement an American Revolt against the leadership of lies.

    Some say why can't the liberals get over it re: Bush Lied.

    The reason is that people die on a daily basis and he is still given respect as a man who stands for Democracy, that ostensibly this is a fight for Democracy when in reality this War was approved by a Congress that received false evidence in it's justification. This was evidence deemed unequivocal when
in reality every one behind the scenes new it was far from certain in fact the evidence was already deemed unreliable by a variety of fully documented sources even before the war was launched. The President used the full power and prestige of his office to Ram this war into existence frightening the media to this day from doing their constitutionally sanctioned duty in confronting America with the full truth of the Rush to War. Frightening the Democratic party into obeisance for to be a Liberal to be Weak to be afraid to Fight for one's country is a ticket to Nowhere and so the Democrats fell into Line. Then on to the United Nations where this institution begun after World War II by men the like of Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill new that the only way to prevent the Insanity of the War in the middle of the last century would be to have all the nations of the world join into a World Body that was founded on the principals of Democracy (despite it leaving the 'Great Powers' with Greater Powers) still Democracy was it's foundation and when the USA presented it's arguments the same group of nonsense and wishful thinking (the reality we were wishing that we could prove Saddam was as evil as possible) as had been presented to the Congress and the American People. Secretary of State Colin Powell caved in against his own conscience and behaved liked the Good Soldier and provided his stern lecture based on wishful thinking and bogus evidence, to the Representatives of the nations of the World and they turned the US down they said no you do not have the permission of the UN to launch this war and of course that was not going to stop George Bush and his Power Team.

  So anyways forgive me people for going on most of you know all this and are more learned than I am on the subject. I am just an observer not an expert, someday I want it written down by the media point by point step by step. So this is where we are.

  In the name of Fighting Terror we have wrought Terror on the People of Iraq.

  In the name of Democracy we have sentenced thousands of young American Men and Women to risk and give up their lives for a war begun through the betrayal of Democracy.

  This is a war that no Conservative with any integrity or common sense would have approved if offered anything close to a balanced account as to the true nature of the threat posed by the Saddam Hussein regime. This war would not have existed but for the willingness of the current Executive to obscure the truth to further his or their own personal goals of altering the world, possibly he/they might say with good intentions but yet willing to twist and obscure the truth to further their ends. This war was a Betrayal of Democracy and is a Crime against the American People.

    Forgive me for sounding angry. I guess I am.

      So I went down to the vigil and met a handful of concerned and friendly people in front of the Town Hall. I am very glad I did that it was very peaceful and I feel better that I participated.

    More rock more music.. less anger.... catch me more often at Bandlands.
