I bought “South Saturn Delta” by Jimi Hendrix today. Check out “Midnight”. It’s so sad that he died too young. And to think he was scheduled to record with Miles Davis just a week after his death.

Are there any paraplegic guitarist/composers out there? I thought not. Anyway, today sucked. I hate being a para (or cripple as I say). I was ambulatory for a long time and then to have your legs taken away – it’s hard to describe how much it sucks. Is someone feeling sorry for himself? Yes. And your an idiot. Now shut the hell up! I always thought paralyzed people didn’t feel anything. I was wrong. I’ve been in an almost constant state of discomfort since I was afflicted in 2003 and you wonder why I’m in a bad mood or maybe you don’t care but I’m going to write anyway.

Besides you are probably a moron. Has anyone noticed how stupid this country is becoming. It’s not just me and even if it was just me I’m always right. Everybody uses double negatives. “I can’t see no reason why not!” you say. THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT YOU IDIOTS. What you’re saying is that you can see a reason. I guess it’s cool to sound like an ignorant ass. And whatever happened to adverbs. “What are those? ” “They modify adjectives.” “What are those? ” “Forget it!!” We’re doomed. “Wow Bill, he played that perfect.” Its perfectLY. LY LY LY LY God You Idiots!! Has anyone out there ever attended school or were you too busy texting. LOL – God I hate that. Laugh out Loud – yeah right. You’re probably sitting there quietly crying because you have no friends. LOL

And Rap. Oh My God. I am so sick of slang or cool or phat or phazzizel or whatever is currently popular for the next 15 minutes…JUST SHUT THE F$$K UP. Rap That’s crap (the c is silent) Music for people who can’t sing. I’ve tried and tried but it just doesn’t do much for me. I like chords, harmony, melodies and other musical stuff – musicality. But you say – “It’s poetry” or “I like the beat” Why don’t you just buy a metronome and set it to your favorite “beat”. “Yeah Susie, Don’t you just love 132!!” “Oh but I disagree Gladys. I think 120 is a much better beat although it don’t make no difference as long as we can dance ourselves into imbecility” (which probably wouldn’t take too long). And no this is not a “race” thing. I love Miles, Hendrix, Albert and BB and Freddy King, Kool and The Gang, Trane, Monk, EWF, Oliver Nelson, etc. I could go on with my “race” credentials but I won’t because the point is not the color of the musician but the “quality” of the music. In fact, is this “artist” even a “musician” at all?

Am I a musical snob? Who cares. It’s my blog.

I feel much better. But I still can’t walk. Damn!
