I suppose it’s not surprising that you get offered a lot of help when you ask for help in an interesting project. There have been over 20 people offering me help. I recorded 9 songs from Robin Storm yesterday and they were all really good performances but, I didn’t enjoy it. There were no surprises for me except my reaction. Storm didn’t ask me to play with him and might have rebuffed my offer. I knew it would be like that because Storm has been in Bob’s Basement before. I didn’t start this project because I wanted to become a producer. I became a producer because I wanted to perform and have some control over the final product. I’m still constrained by time and deadlines, FCC rules and my limitations in the technical aspects of video editing but, I don’t have sponsors telling me I can’t promote my political point of view. In fact, that’s the whole purpose of Public Access T.V.. One of the people who has expressed an interest the show is a radio host, Judy Stadt. She has this saying on her website; “Freedom is doing what you want, Happiness is doing what you want and enjoying it.” I hope she tells me how to do that.

What is Money?
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009Money is a tangible object that some government fashions in order to extract goods and services out of people. It’s only value is in what people are willing to do for it. The idea of nationalizing the banks is a purely ludicrous idea. The whole banking system is pretty much an arm of the government. Where the money goes is a prerogative the government has been exercising since before the bible was written. Whether it goes to Haliburton or a police department in Ohio, it’s still arbitrary.
Some argue that printing too much money will cause inflation. I never saw that happen. I’m not saying it can’t but, the only time I saw inflation happen in my lifetime was when the oil companies started raising their prices and everyone else tried to catch up. The last time they did it everyone started economising and the whole thing fell apart. I’m starting to think the only reason for the way our banking system is structured the way it is is to delude idealogues into thinking we have a free market system.
What is a Democrat?
Sunday, February 1st, 2009At this moment my most burning passion is to create an anthem for the democratic party. I’m hoping my readers will share their thoughts and why they did or did not vote for Obama in the primary and general election.
