Here I am still doing this. Despite being cancelled by a bunch of hectoring scolds in the Hudson Valley. All because I had dared to call bullshit on a narcissistic influencer here in the Hudson Valley. I am still here. Been here longer than I was in my hometown of Jersey City but I am still from there. I am not here for anyone’s judgements of me. Seriously before you point your crooked little fingers at me? Take a look at yourself and your performative outrage and pat yourselves on the back for your rage pile on and congratulate yourself as you burned a witch at the stake. Good for you. But I did enjoy seeing Olivia Rodrigo perform with David Byrne and Robert Smith. I didn’t have Sabrina Carpenter on my bingo card as being part of the resistance. I welcome her. Maybe the Who finally played their last show. But they said that 43 years ago. (Saw them with the Clash at Shea Stadium) But here’s to them riding off in the sunset.
Rest In Peace D’Angelo, Ozzy, Sly Stone, Brian Wilson, Roberta Flack, Marianne Faithfull, Chris Rea, Jimmy Cliff, Garth Hudson and Steve Cropper.
