2015 – THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

  2015 – THE JOURNEY CONTINUES


2015, February 21 – A very long journey from October 5, 1057.  Never imagined I would still be standing, even after all those years. But, yet, here I am, Dann, just as I am.

I was born a “blue” baby on a blue moon in a city full of downtrodden blues breakers. Brought into this existence by two beautiful 100% Irish Catholics. Living a Protestant life in a chaotic equinox of time and space.

Rock and roll had begun the war against the country and western machine. Gospel had begun to morph into rhythm and blues eventually birthing the offspring, ‘hip hop’. Music would change beyond any misconceptions of our elders. Music would once more become the universal language of all.  Messages would be delivered via the rhythmic laminations of the minstrels of society.

And the child such as I, well, we would/will witness changes of which society will never see again.

Who but a soul born in the fifties could have been a Hippie, a Yippie, a Vagrant, a thief, a biker, a nomad, a parent, a businessman, an elder and a Grandfather all within one lifetime?

The childhood memories of listening to rock and roll grow – to see all races dancing to R & B. To know what it took to create Motown and Apple Records. To understand the courage that was shown to people of all colour marching together. To be able to remember the exact time JFK and Martin Luther were gunned down. To overstand the sorrow of the senseless murder of John Lennon.  To watch the drug culture become a writhing scourge on mankind.

To see that after all we have learned, violence is still the first answer to conflict.

Still, the “WILD” animals get along in unison and dance the Circle of Life. Their only fear is man.

Man dances to beautiful music, but sidesteps into cruelty and disregard for all but oneself.

I suggest that it is time we dance to the same tune as all other living creatures and become one with this that the Gods have laid before us.
Let us not only write, record and perform beautiful songs, but may we become the song itself.

Until then, I remain, Dann – just as I am.


Namaste’

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Society's Like Israel Are Why I Lost My Belief In Religion

  People who “ STAND ” with society’s such as “ ISRAEL ” are why I firmly do not believe IN “ RELIGIONS “. 4200 ‘Gangs’ with 4200  ‘Ideologies’. They are nothing but “ GANGS ” and/or “ CULTS “. Take the  ‘VATICAN’  for an example.   Birth place of the  ‘MAFIA’. Or how about getting a drink of ‘ KOOLAID’  at ” JONESTOWN’? Perhaps a barbeque at  ‘WACO’?6 I hear that ‘ GAZA’  is a ‘ BOMB ‘  place. In my opinion ‘ Israel ‘ and the ‘ Israeli’  culture top the list. The most ‘ unholy ‘ of scum living in the ‘ holiest ‘ of lands. l was born and beaten an ‘ RC ‘. A ‘ Rotten Catholic ‘. (Some refer to it as  ‘ Roman Catholic’) I believe in “ FAITH “. How can you call yourself ‘ CHRISTIAN ‘ with thirty thousand slaughtered children laying at your feet? INNOCENT BABIES? Or claim that 3 year olds are terrorist operatives? So, yes, I am not a religious person. Remember Campers, there were  ‘Miracles’  happening all over the place ...

“The Rise Of America’s Ursprünglich Reich”.

  Musk is dangerous and is definitely a “ wolf in sheep’s clothing “. Elon “ Teslaboy ” Musk His warped intelligence and well known use of ketamine has enabled him to turn his greatest fan,  Donald J. Trump , into his personal political puppet. Trump believes that he is controlling Musk. However it is quite the contrary! DICTATOR DONALD  TRUMP Trump is blinded by Musk’s wealth. He believes that by befriending him he will reach the same level of riches. I strongly doubt that will ever be a reality. Yes, Trump is often referred to as a “ brilliant ” businessman. But is he really? Trump’s riches come from a very long list of bankruptcies and shifty business transactions. He is well known for simply refusing to pay his debts. He also owes numerous Russian Oligarchs billions of dollars for failed Trump Tower projects. Including the shady Moscow Towers project and the Trump Towers Toronto. The latter which was bankrupt before completion. Which lead to Trump obtaining financing ...
