What I Meant

I can't find the earlier post where I said concerts were silly but I should say that it would give me pleasure to be able to play my songs in front of all the ones who listen to them on the internet. It's just that the business has blocked my way by making stars out of jerks who stole my work and told you to hate me. I can't take a chance that I will get fair treatment from the workers either if I play a show, not with things as they are now. So as long as I'm being prevented from going out and playing my songs after frauds were worshiped for playing them, I don't want the business to think it upsets me too much and try to think of the performance side of my work as ultimately trivial.

Life Goes On

Today's my last public post for a while as I throw myself into offline activities. I wanted to leave my loyal supporters on a positive footing. I know they count on me to help them get through the day and I don't want to let them down. They know I believe in God and that makes them feel more secure about trusting me. And they know that God has revealed His special plan for us to me and I just wanted to share that glorious vision with them now. God loves us very much and He doesn't want us to suffer. So it will be quick. When that Moon slips out of orbit and plunges to the Earth we won't know what hit us. Don't be sad. These kind of things have to happen every eon or so. Last time it was the flood. That wiped out my people, the Atlantians. But it's all like it says in the Bible, we had it coming, believe me. And it won't kill all life. Just mammals. Life will go on. Something to smile about.

I'm North American

I need now to discuss what I see as an active threat from large US broadcasting companies to smear Canada's image around the world. American people need not take offense from my words. I like American people and I think that many of them agree with my ideas. My focus is entirely on large American broadcasting corporations like NBC and FOX, and I see the American (and Canadian) people as victims of these monstrous corporations. CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, is low on creative content. This does not reflect the talent of the Canadian population but the drain of creative Canadian minds to the big money and vast career horizons of our neighbour to the south. Many Americans do not even know that some of their finest entertainers are of Canadian origin. In fact some of these artists and performers feel pressure to keep their Canadian identity a secret. Matt Groening moved to Los Angeles to make it big and had a hit with his Simpsons cartoon on FOX. This should have made Canadians proud, but I saw something in one of those Simpsons episodes to indicate otherwise. It was when Homer Simpson said that 'Canada doesn't have a girlfriend', a most insulting statement, and I'm quite sure that it does not reflect the attitude of the American majority. To top it off, I wouldn't be surprised if parts of that episode depended on the erased posts of another Canadian artist, yours truly. And does anyone remember the irreverence with which Paul Martin, Canada's former prime minister, was treated by an NBC reporter when he was being interviewed over the matter of Canada's participation in George Bush's and Dick Cheney's war against Iraq and Afghanistan? They made Martin look more like an errant office temp than a head of state. Then there is the matter of Canadian content on Canadian radio stations. It seems to conform to the false image of Canada as a 'wimp country', projected by networks like NBC and FOX, by being restricted to wimpy sounding music. There may well be U.S. broadcasting dollars behind this unflattering policy. Then I come along and write good, masculine sounding rock and I end up being panned by these Canadian radio stations after much of my music has already proven itself successful in the hands of frauds. At the same time as they call Canadians wimps, they try to make Canadians reject any Canadian artist whose life and work defies their insulting stereotype. Why do American broadcasters need to hurt Canada like this? I'm not sure. It may be that they dislike the idea of a sovereign state so close to the borders of their almighty corporate empires. They want to be in full control of the continent and that 'pesky' political boundary interferes with their designs. For instance, as a Canadian I am able to secure a reasonable income even though I am unemployed. This has been helpful in speeding up my work on the internet as I expose the ugly fraud of these large U.S. broadcasting corporations. In the absence of a Canada and her superior social programs I might be dead by now and they wouldn't have to worry about me. As it is, their only recourse is to get as many people around the world to dismiss Canada as a joke country whose citizens ought not to be taken seriously. Something for Canadians and Americans to ponder this evening as I finalize my blog for its permanent location on Google. In the end we're all just people and the only foreign threat appears to come from irresponsible corporations in our very midst.

As the biceps in my right arm twitch ceaselessly and involuntarily from all the mouse clicking I've had to do with these 1400 or so pages of online content, I can't help but wonder how pampered those fraudulent flakers were for stealing it all and using it to make the world hate me.

Flake Off Tina

They thought they could get away with taking my scripts by giving them to someone who would be polite enough to tell you 'I sock' rather than 'I suck cock' when she lied to you about me. This kind of watering down of words to gain your trust must really annoy you. I bet they don't think so. It's too bad that their sockers are so spineless because then they could come up with their own work instead of stealing mine to try to make themselves look cool. It's too bad that I'm the only one who shares his heart on the internet while these flaking broadcasting buzzards only know how to copy and paste and the business turns them into stars for it. It's too bad because it drives real talent from the internet, as you will soon learn, though this account will remain online for the benefit of my lawyers and anyone else who cares about the truth.

Getting It Straight

I'm going to take a break from my copyright stamping to discuss my latest poetry post, The Veteran, a tribute to my father and all veterans of honest wars. When I speak of honest wars I'm making a distinction between fighting for our survival as we did in World War Two against the Nazis, who threatened the whole planet, and that last war in the Middle East, which I call Halliburton's War of Acquisition. (It's a damn shame if any of my music was used to boost the morale of pilots as they bombed innocent civilians and I'm sure God will punish this offense.) I normally let my readers take their own message from my poems, but since these works of mine have been in other hands up to now, some clearing up of their meaning may now be necessary. The first verse talks about the age of soldiers. They are usually young. My father was only in his teens when he went overseas. The second verse attempts to depict a combat soldier's job with realism. Chewed up flesh might look good in movies but in real life it is most unpleasant to behold. Combat is an ugly job. The drowning land was the land of the Scheldt Estuary, which was flooded by the Germans to slow the Canadian advance. Many of our troops succumbed to disease from this tactic. The third verse is based on a real account. Imagine being pinned down on a bloody field thousands of miles from home, seeing your friends get shot and waiting for a bullet to come crashing through your head. Horrible. I tried to end the poem on a positive note in the fourth verse, but I felt it necessary to add one more verse to explain that great things can happen all the time in the absence of TV cameras. In fact, TV cameras often point to events of only passing significance while great things are happening elsewhere. By capturing those heavily defended V-2 launch sites in the Low Countries, the Canadian Army saved countless lives of Londoners. Maybe one of those Gerry rockets would have fallen on Mick Jagger's house and killed him in his crib if it weren't for men like my father. It's something of which we Canadians can always be proud. On a slightly different note, I've heard of being unrecognized and unappreciated for an achievement, but it took my online experience to teach me about being insulted for doing something good. When such insults extend to the achievements of my dying father, I know that banks and corporations are behind them. Banks and corporations think we are worthless pawns on a vast playing field which they own. They do not hesitate to start wars unnecessarily when it can boost their profits. They are dismissive of our sacrifices and suffering, thinking of us as lower life forms for lacking fabulous wealth. For these reasons they are incapable of writing popular material of their own and must stoop to stealing it from the internet from hapless individuals like myself who do not even want to be stars. They are cold blooded reptiles, as their treatment of me and my father should now sufficiently prove.

Dented

How's the TV? Did they come up with a new reason to blame me for why they won't pay me for the mountains of work they stole again? Am I, their victim, expected to defend my reputation again? Why bother? Go watch them some more. I started writing a new song but I'm not going to finish it because it sounds like one of those metal songs that were used by creeps to fuck up the last six years of my life to the present day. My heavy metal heart has been severely dented from this experience. It's funny how stars are so loved because the ones who took my work are severely flawed in character. I think this is the result of being spoiled rotten. I used to admire them too, but I'm sitting here now with a hundred and fifty or so songs of which only one has not been passed off as belonging to some fucking fraud. Besides thinking they're greedy and arrogant, I think they're dumb for not being able to produce their own work. I think they're lazy for not wanting to do their own work. I think their network or label are evil for supporting them.

What I Dislike the Most

You know what I dislike the most about the bad stars who took my work? Their greed. They're fucking rich and they didn't want to write me a cheque. Fuck that's cheap! They probably thought it would have diminished their precious image to be associated with me. I didn't even want to be a star! I would have accepted money in exchange for such a disassociation. I would have made it onto my island by now and I'd be happily painting my masterpieces instead of typing out old work here.

Happy What's Left of My Birthday

Looks like I made it to my forty-eighth birthday. Thanks everyone who sent me birthday greetings. Don't forget to wish Roger a happy birthday because it's his birthday, too. Roger has two birthdays. Don't believe me? Ask my brother Bernard. You can trust Bernard. Don't believe me? Just ask NBC. They'll tell you that you can trust Roger and Bernard. Did someone say NBC? Why do I have that network on my mind so much? Do you think it's because so much of their content came from my mind? That may be part of it. I heard someone mention the word 'gentleman' as I passed by him yesterday. I got the impression that some people are excusing NBC's crime because of the polite and pleasant manner in which they committed their fraud - pleasant to you, at least. To me they are scum. I don't care how polite they are. It is behaviour which defines a person and not superficial appearances. All these mealy-mouthed liars belong in a prison cell. And their polite faces should never again be allowed onto the public airwaves. Actually the very worst lies are the politely spoken ones for they are the most readily believed lies. That makes polite liars the lowest of liars. Instead of excusing them for lying in a polite tone, you should be burning them at the stake. NBC is such a criminal. I can't believe it's still on the air. They must have committed over a thousand counts of fraud with my scripts. They must have made a fortune off my erased blogs. And it's my birthday today and I just spent my last nine dollars on a pack of smokes. It will be weeks before I have money again. And on top of that they tried to make me share my birthday with my brother. And they ruined my Canada Day. And their sister corporation CBC tried to put that blog stealing jerk back on a stage this summer. It's too bad all anyone looks at is their superficial appearance because underneath that flimsy covering lurks a hideous beast from Hell. It's too bad no one can see their true colours but their victim.
