I just heard a car commercial on the radio. It said,”
Intelligence is the new rock n’ roll.” That’s funny. Shall we play the deconstruction
game again? Briefly? First of all, intelligence is new? Oh, brother. Starting
from a very low point. Let’s give them, for a second, that that’s true. How sad
is that really? It’s not like people have been denied access to books. In fact,
the internet makes “intelligence” extremely accessible. Alas, the whole point
of commercials is to take your deepest seeded dreams from your subconscious and
use them to sell you crap you don’t need.
Anyway, then part two, “the new rock n’ roll.” This
presumption here is rock n’ roll used to be cutting edge, revolutionary,
colorful, inspiring… or something. First of all, music, including rock still
exists. For some reason, major corporations are making as much money off it any
more so to them, I guess it’s just some thing from a long time ago that
resonates in older peoples heads as such. Lame.
Rock n’ roll lives, folks. I know, ‘cause my Jefferson Jay
Band still plays it. So do a million other bands. Heck, I write the stuff,
almost daily. Gosh, car company, Have some respect. Just cause it’s not as
profitable doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Maybe it was TOO revolutionary. Maybe
that is why it get dismissed. It takes one band or one open-minded visionary
corporate guy to change this paradigm completely. I’m here. Ready and waiting.
In the meantime, gotta work. So today, I teach an older
friend of mine with some sweet raw singing talent, and my other pals, a thing
or two about how to sing the blues. Love you all humans.
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Covers - 181 “Thank You
for Being a Friend” by Andrew Gold
My wife was in a special mood yesterday evening. I don’t
know how she knows the theme to “The Golden Girls.” I was told it’s shown to
this day on The Hallmark Channel. I guess that makes sense. Well, she sang,
“Thank you for being a husband.” I raise her the rest of the tune, just like I
did last night. All hail the Operation 365, your daily visit with a real human
guy.
Operation 365 2 - Jefferson Jay - Originals - 181 “Splendid
Time”
I somehow found myself staring down at the chords and lyrics
to a tune I wrote for the last 365 called “180.” At that moment, I think I
thought it was still Day 180, so I started singing the words to some different
music, a little minor blues something. It was fun. I think I’m gonna keep it.
“Splendid Time.”
Hail Dr. John Sarno, my personal Mr. 180. And I haven’t even
read his book yet. I just learned about him. Soon come. “Positive.” – Rasta
John
