A Geezer and His Fish

Apropos of nothing:
Well, we all get to do something to remember, at some time in our lives.


Well, maybe twice.

Mate, that video insert of Trump talking crap in your earlier post auto-plays when you open the blog page, so I had that audio running over Clapton for several seconds there before I realised (Sunday morning not completely awake sorry). Anyway it was unholy.
Saw Clapton twice. Once in Australia when I was still a teen and then once at the Budokan in Tokyo. Something to remember.

I am sorry to say that a Clapton concert I saw in the mid-1970's stands in my mind as probably the worst performance I ever saw. From the moment Eric came on stage, it was clear that he was so loaded with Heroin that he barely knew where he was. He could barely make it through 12 bars of one of his solos, and shamefully had hired another guitar player who stood in the semi-background, who finished his leads. At one point, a string broke on his guitar, and it confused him so badly that he just stood there staring off into space until a guitar tech came out and changed his guitar while he stood there doing nothing, and then resumed lamely trying to finish the song.

I guess he finally got off junk and recovered, but I will never forget that.

Well that's a shame. I saw the gigs in the mid 80s and mid 90s and they were very controlled performances.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
