R the Devils masking as Angels ! ?

Normally I am not 'up to the minute' with news. But somehow/times news hits you.

I know that District Line underground. It would have indeed be packed. Even more my observations after many many years. Whoever perpetrated that 'attack' was cowardly. No: I am not paid by Pres Trump! Even if he employed me I would have my own mind and go tell home to 'ffff' himself if I disagreed.

The travelers on that line are not wealthy (and even if they were w/could you distinguish between cowardice and valor!?). They are struggling to survive in an unfair world. Just as you. Still! Whoever U R Mr Terrorist is very very misguided. You will most probably always. But in THIS instance you attack/try to kill the ONLY people who would ever give you a legal hearing. WHAT did you hope to achieve beyond your own self indulgence in terrorism. Not to say that many 3rd world nations don't do exactly the same! Hello! You believe your so-called democracy is greater/better than..! Get real.

If one/you wish to engage in acts of terrorism then state your demands! Is that not so Mr Gerry Adams! No-one may wish/will accede to thus: but at least the world knows what you WANT!

And Cressida Dick: you r still a DICK for 'whitewashing' the Menezes 'affair'. I can't believe a human jury would allow that.

Basta!

None of you have legal recourse (well indeed prove you alas go…) to scapegoating those who don't 'tick the boxes'. !

London Has Fallen

You all just angered the giant o the mountain.! Was just thinking that H.Irma met the leopard seal and was distracted by landfall. As T.W. once spake you are innocent when you dream....

The Garden...

plus ça change...

Utah Nurse Arrested for Refusing to Give Patient’s Blood to Police

Trump Reverses Restrictions on Military Hardware for Police

If I hadn't been highly suspicious of human motives before, then living in the olde America REALLY ramps up 'the anti'. Screw Trump. No..not literally ..that is so so sos obvious where THAT is coming from. Dare I say YOU had it coming !

MY question is did President Obama know the extent of NSA surveillance and was he just 'going with the flow' on that'! ?

The NSA inspector general's highly redacted chart showing privacy violations.

Timothy H. Edgar defended privacy as an ACLU lawyer

I am not remotely interested in taking sides. BUT: I am damned if YOU expect ME to condone what amounts to and has always allowed a consent to liberal Fascism that is nothing more than a Freudian rejoinder for the Right (ever seen a circle of dissent?)

I know the water...I'd be more than happy to drown. !

........

The Horrifying Effects of NYPD Ethnic Profiling on Innocent Muslim Americans

London Met Police

Me didn't realise how easy it was for such 'guardians' to get the better of themselves when I was doin' the recycling at 5am one morn before my Yoga class and was arrested/handcuffed/imprisoned albeit 30 sec away from my residence-my only crime: an empty tote bag (once full of newspapers) and the keys to my residence 20 secs away. They didn't even bother to check my residence! How may bullets would you have used to kill me U BASTARDS like Menezes if you had had the chance! F U!

The MET even tried to fake a cocaine test!  I've never done that in my life. ! Tried to make me sign a consent form at 5.30am that morning after a swab test. !  F U. You owe me mucho compensation.
And I will get it ! BASTARDS !!!!!

P.S. I know- I was very angry last night. Always think that it is better to get such things 'off one's chest' rather than let fester. This was back in 2010 or thereabouts. And I believe that 80% of law enforcers (at least in the Western world) are honest. Am I being too generous? But bad apples of 20% can cause a helluva lot of damage. It is one thing for a civilian 'bad apple' but one that is in uniform and a position of power!  It only takes one to blight all.

And I still believe Menezes was a whitewash. Highly Israeli trained marksmen needing to shoot over a half dozen bullets into their suspect within roughly a 15ft range in a small confined underground carriage. Don't insult our intelligence!

I'm glad I'm not young anymore....

Me haves a crazy idea: why don't you make ME the UK Prime Minister! I am seriously way under-employed. I am a British citizen. I lived there for decades. I could fly in occasionally and Skype from Gibraltar. Get Boris J or Jeremy C or both to shovel the shit;) !  And Jermey Paxman could make them 'take the can'. I could have been PM of Australia. Whether the CIA would have tolerated another Gough …..They don't have Rubelli fabric for my curtains there do they:) !

Seriously: the UK is not united. But they need to talk to each other. And when they exit Europe they need to be a thorn in the continent's side to remedy change. Not an outcast.

You should see the hits I've taken over the decades. I feel like that ship in Passengers. No wonder I start spewing out frozen donut flakes to macchiato 1st class!



Amy Winehouse (everyone wishes: wake you up forever !:(((!
(14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011)

how frozen donut flakes become nuggets of gold in the right hands....

Next up on tonight's programme....:!} :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Well- it wouldn't be the BBC without silent levity.

the rules don't apply....

What is weird about America? Could that same question be asked the U.K.? Should be an exam question and my website on the syllabus! ;) What…

David Lynch ….kinda et al, not that there is an 'al' equation. The whole financial system. OK- shooting myself in the foot- well: not really. I discovered a couple of great UK films from the 70's/80's. The Internecine Project couldn't be more apposite today if it tried! Ahhh- just joking. Trump has everything under control. Including the CIS ! And the AFB. I think the CBI is a health clinic in Wyoming….wondrous minds. Changed. As if that CIA scheme of the 30-s-70's that is my memory changed gave free instruments and 'health care' to drug addled musicians? The doc that the Raindance Fest bravely championed. I remember! I have a post-traumatic recall dream: Teresa May dancing with Malcolm McDowell in the fields of Elsyium. And there is Lola Kirke as the Blue Fairy! What happened to the world when I was dozing?

In olden days…anything goes….

[as an addendum June 28: The truth is stranger than fiction. A few nights ago I actually dreamt of me and Trump (should that be in reverse?). I was floating (flat bed style) about 10 foot above ground at a 'something'. Can't remember what. Trump just stared as if: what the 'f' are you doing here. I floated on. Came to ground in front- not behind. Can't remember what. Fronted security and for some reason did a Michael Jackson starjump 'here I am'! A blank after that. You'll think I am making this up. But it was a real dream. So here's the deal. First dream free: thereafter psychoanalysists- howsabout a great deal- $1,000 per dream. A bargain when you look at the dross out there! Never a dream about Putin thusfar. Hope springs eternal as Chekhov said:) ]

Credit Score is equal to The President in America. Just three companies controlling your life. Who needs the CIC! It's all about working 'the system'. …PAYWELL for further success! :)

Dreams are wonderful, equally illusory. They can be 'munchkins' throwing 'cherrios' at each other or sheer shards of revolution. Interesting that a cooling fan in 95 degree heat 2 foot away during sleep can sculpt dreams in such strange ways. True. You sleep, you wake, you sleep and it all seems one and the same as your mind makes semblance. Scary!

It would never happen in, umm,  Iceland:) !

Just trying to regiment your summer eyes and eyes….there is a great little something that you would have thought that the BBC would have thunk. Piano Puzzler. My perfect Brit Adolphe candidate Stephen Johnson- if only he could play the piano that well;) Have a heart- he pretty much wipes the floor when it comes to music appreciation!

A film Loophole with a cast to be wowed at (the trailer in retro does rather sound like a self help drug ad;) !. Vincent Canby of the NY***! washed it off his very clean hands in a 5 sec. review.

Well: it may not be Bresson (Robert or who was that other Frog geezer…?) BUT: would all of these great actors (well many not the stars they are all now, pace pace, ucc e uccelini have gin through with that movie with mediocre 'suits' pulling the strings? Sounds totally plausible in 2020! 

Ah! - just blew my retirement fund:)

Something called The Proms about to burst? Let me check them all out. Can never trust musicians, they tell the world a truth…..

{Hint: The word irony no longer exists in the American syllabus. The word awesome is predominant. Without irony.}

Tap Your Troubles Away  

OK- FREE ANDREW PROMS GUIDE (disclosure- I never ever received any free Proms tickets-nor asked such)

A bold statement but the BBC Proms is the greatest music festival in the world- its duration, its breadth, its triple A talent. Many other great opera, classical, contemp music, jazz etc fest. but the BBC Proms! 

Forgive the shorthand, but the following you would very unlikely get a seat anywhere in the world in the sold-out house even London:

July 25-Jarvis Cocker and friends: Scott Walker

Aug 25- Riccardo Chailly

Aug 28
La clemenza di Tito
Mozart's last opera with some of the most sublime music of all time. You can 'YouTube' it but to hear those notes live is an experience that you will never forget.


Aug 30
Renée Fleming joins Sakari Oramo and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for music by Barber and Strauss.

Sept 1
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra returns to the Proms for the first time in almost a decade, under Chief Conductor Daniele Gatti. Bruckner Ninth Symphony
Sept 2- Mahler 4th

Sept 4
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Manfred Honeck perform Mahler’s First Symphony
{I know you'll be amazing! Don't screw up Pittsburgh. You'll get the Irish Spring soap treatment over your bows on return if u do:) !}

Sept 7
Daniel Harding conducts the Vienna Philharmonic- Mahler’s Sixth.
Daniel Harding was on the scene eons before Dudamel. Long time ago. Harding conducted Mahler's uncompleted 10th in Berlin just after Giuseppe Sinopoli died. Never to be forgotten.  In fairness maestros.
then later that evening, Prom 73: András Schiff performs Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier

Sept 8
Pianist Emanuel Ax joins the Vienna Philharmonic for its second Prom this season, under Michael Tilson Thomas.
