    I was 11 in Summer of ’76. My younger sister & I took a trip to Chicago for 2 weeks to visit Grandma & we spent a couple of days with some cousins. 1 day we went to Six Flags park with roller coasters & other rides. My 3rd cousin Jennifer was cute – a year or 2 older than me. So I got kind of a school crush, but it was private. Maybe we held hands on a ride or something. That was it. I didn’t see or talk to her for many years afterward & I wasn’t expecting too.

    I’m not sure if 7 yr. old Anna was in Chicago or NYC at that time, but she would get a lot of reports, she was training all the time to be an editor, & she was promised me as her guy – even though I had no inkling of her existence. Recently, I have heard that Anna freaked out & extra promises were made to her. They bumped my fictional tags up a level as if I had been replaced (again, for the first time as a being with language/memory), & some say they did something to my cousin. Elsewhere on the blog, I wrote about Patti Smith’s Gloria & its many different key interpretations. It’s possible that “took the big plunge” there refers to a CIA commitment to Anna & to the rollercoaster.

    Smashing Pumpkins song 1979 sounds more like my life in ’79 or ’80. Being able to ride a bike around with lots of free time & friends in the Summer is liberating for a minor. The song lyrics do a good job of capturing that & also how I was clued out because of no key & no Heine connections. I noted that James Iha resembled the younger brother of a HS friend & wondered if there is a connection there.

    YouTube features man cover versions the Stones tune ‘Paint It Black’ taken from their 1966 album Aftermath. This recent version seems to emphasize how much the world has changed since that time.

    Debussy’s Jeux is a score for an unsuccessful ballet, contemporaneous to Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. It’s not so exciting by comparison. The concept is imaginary, abstract dance, portraying 3 people, playing around a tennis court. Wikipedia suggests that Debussy may have originally thought of 3 men observing a target “Heine error” hoping for a decisive error.

    Back story here – the choice above felt like Anna influence. So I asked for another. I just said “Something by Moosehead” knowing she would understand that as Jamiroquai. DOD didn’t let her pick – they picked the tweet above to go with this song in about 20-30sec. using Twitter & their knowledge base including our conversations. I don’t dig the song or the sentiment, but I decided to post it in order to share a slice of my death trap world with you.

    I mostly don’t get real news about the fate of people who I see trying to flee. But I try to look for them in pictures. I noticed the “V for victory” sign here & so…I digress..the movie V for Vendetta is pretty cool. But I didn’t know about Heine anything when I saw it. Looking today, I see that some interpretations tried to view the main character as a fantasy speculation that my unknown Heine persona could be some kind of indy revolutionary. One clip below is from V’s first speech in the movie, & the other clip is an anti-V propaganda which goes out of its way to pan the movie in connection with that fantasy idea. The criticisms of it as film are not really interesting, but the propaganda context and the replies below it are.

    These two versions of Leadbelly’s “Midnight Special” are clearly not sung by the same man. But the lyrics in B & D key and prose are quite interesting. CCR’s later recording felt more cheery than the original ideas.
    Wikipedia notes that the song developed prior to Leadbelly & he was not strictly the first recording, though it is often attributed to him & he added original words.

    The name of this band derives from a video game cheat code called Konami Code

    The song is from a 2003 album recalling a generation of video games as part of their shared experience.

    Ed: When the lynching started here in 2013, I really had no introduction to Heine anything. But I had a story about spy led genocide & a shock to see that the FBI was going to kill me to cover that up. Whatever was going on, it was clear that I was going to be targeted for death & viewed as not one of them – whatever them is/was. I thought of Camus’ novel “The Stranger” and its depiction of a senseless murder of an “other”.

    This song goes with the tweet above, for a lot of reasons, but mainly the reality that Deep State has killed so much they now have a meaningless version of “other” that includes everyone who is not their killers (and most of them too). The song was a top 40 hit, British, and low key. Today I am kind of curious what British public thought of this stanza in the 1980’s:

    At my bedside empty pocket
    A foot without a sock
    Your body gets much closer
    I fumble for the clock
    Alarmed by the seduction
    I wish it would stop

    Some will answer honestly that the words don’t mean much until you already know the story. That’s fine. I’m here to testify that I was kept from seeing any good clues or any key for five decades, so I saw nothing. The essence of Heine is a criminal gang stabbing innocent victims in the back for no reason except plunder. And now that disease is running the planet.

    The picture says “I have a dirty mind”. This song in the video link is apparently about hunting indy men for Heine kills. It doesn’t show Vancouver, but it’s van oriented & visually good for kaleidoscope fans.

    Wikipedia says that the Lost In Space television series was related to the real world events that put the kabosh on Hanna-Barbera’s plan for a real life Flintstones. Was this about my parent IDs having sex?

    A lost episode from Lost In Space shows that Dr. Smith was originally conceived of as an evil stowaway, foiling the mission plan.

    I root for Joanne d’Arc

    Note: The musical selection was not focused on the content of the casual conversation mentioned in the tweet. The PM there, in a playful mood, suggests its okay for her homies to sometimes say the opposite of what they mean & confuse the ‘.’ & ‘,’ punctuation marks.

    The picture got me to think of Fratres by composer Arvo Pärt. Looking on YouTube, I found an incredible live performance from Anne Akiko Meyers. Best interpretation I’ve heard. It’s odd for me to see it because I had a remote personal friend of a friend link to the original Anne Akiko Meyers & someone sort of referencing her opted to join Good Team a few months back. This woman is clearly not her, but she is a top world class violinist. So I’m curious about whether she was previously famous as someone else, or at least a concert master in some major orchestra. Face looks a bit like some photos of Joshua Bell.

    Of course, I don’t actually like this song “Billy Don’t Be A Hero”, but I recognize that the younger generation may not have had a chance to be appalled by its badness & I salute the good ad works.
