What the hell is going on!?

Positive Negativity

There seems to be so many calamaties of unbelievable proportions happening in the world at the moment. The BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, the disgraceful Isreali attack on Aid ships in International waters (Israel has become one of the axis of evil along with North Korea) and they need to be brought down a peg or two but the American politicos are scared to death of the Zionist lobby like AIPAC, so nothing will happen. It’s obscene the way Israel gets away with ignoring so many UN resolutions. I really think the Israeli whistler blower Mordechai Vanunu is a brave man. If only our politicians told the truth and faced up to Israel. How on Earth can we in this day and age, have three million Palestinians as virtual prisoners? The sympathy I had for the treatment of the Jews in WWII has been severely diminished by the paranoid actions of Israel today.

The volcano in Iceland was a natural disaster but worst still we now have a coalition with my beloved Liberal Democrat party going to bed with the ‘not to be trusted Tories’. I remember when the Conservaties were in power last time, VAT went up under Thatcher and again with Major, there were three million unemployed and interest rates were in double figures. Is this what we have got to look forward to? The country has a deficit of a  £153 billion pounds and the government are farting about trying to justify saving £6 billion. We’ve got to get rid of Trident, stop being the World’s policeman and stop punching above our weight. We need to deal with the lack of social responsbility that many of my fellow countrymen have. You know the ones, the bone headed white trash that demanize the immigrants but will never work themselves. The ones that expect a council house but will never contribute to the tax system by getting work and who show no civil respect or responsibilty to fellow citizens. If you don’t know who these people are, just stand at a bus stop or sit on the top deck, you’ll soon spot them.

I love a good rant, especially after a rather delicious bottle of wine. My new track (Just loved by you) is in a way going back to what I played in the 80s & early 90s with a band I was in called Backdoor Jack. It’s just a 12 bar blues number with some fancy chords. I played slide for the lead and tuned the guitar to EAEGBE. I did the lead in one take. I’d had a really boring day at work one day and came home and exorcised my ennui via my Starcaster on to this track. I think it works OK – play it loud.
