The Song No Longer Remains The Same

(Do not take this blog the wrong way. I do not condone the use of Heroin or any street opiate.)

My lifestyle back then was that of “Shake Verner“, a young buck living a nomadic and rebellious youth – certainly not today’s lifestyles of “Dann” or “LightHouse“.

BUT, with that said ……...

One of my favourite memories from back in the day was listening to this genre of song while Sister Heroin wrapped her captive arms around my soul and nodded me off to the psychedelic purple haze of Electric Lady Land.

“The Animals”, Led Zeppelin, “Lou Reed”, “Frank Zappa”, Brian Eno, Uriah Heep, Moody Blues and, most certainly, “McKenna Mendelson Mainline” – were but a few of my influences.

There was one who I placed upon a higher pedestal than all others. It was necessary as there was no other who fell under the realm of his unique styles.

Until this very day there are no others that compare to or can be considered to be in the same genre as this genius.

He stood alone in his unique style and unmatched talent.

“He” being the demigod of modern guitar, the late, “Jimi Hendrix”.

I held a special sweet embrace for Jimi Hendrix’s blues tunes. Albums such as “Band of Gypsies” or “Live At Fillmore’s East”.

I preferred his deep, soulful blues over his acid rock. Titles such as “Changes” or “Machine Gun”.

Most others were mesmerized by his mainstream songs. Songs such as “Purple Haze” or “Hey Joe”.

It was a time of global change and the dawning of a new age.

The age of Aquarius.

The age we are currently experiencing and traveling through.

Throughout this time, that was me, in the corner, losing my religion.

My soul waiting at the crossroads.

Lost in time.

Lost in space.

Forever remaining, out of place.

“Me” – a stranger in a strange land.

The Last Canadian Cosmonaut.

The Original Urban Viking.

And so it came to be that this was the music that molded “me”.

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy

Demons Of Guilt

Menu The LightHouse Dann Verner Some say my that my life has been a tragic sad tale. Only from their view point. Having lived through my life I can say it has been a damn good ride. I fear not dying for to die is final. To be waiting for that one final jolt of pain is extremely difficult to deal with. DEMONS OF GUILT This is a reflection of the pain I am going through as I finish my son’s biography. Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, 29 years old. Jordan “Bubba” Verner On Christmas morning 2019, hung himself in a town called Black Diamond . An obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada. He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life. Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “Groundhog Day “ living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry. Only to have Alberta Social Services rudely tell him and his wife to “Go home”. By any way they could. But, a big “but”….. Adding

My Opinion Regarding the Israeli/Hamas War

Listen to this episode on Spotify or wherever you stream podcasts. How can it be all right for one side of a war ( Israel) to bomb innocent civilians, but not okay for the other side ( Hamas) to do so? Common sense would tell you that the majority of the people living in the Gaza strip are not supporters of the barbarism of the Hamas. They would much rather be living peaceful lives. Not living under the reign of fear from the Hamas. Largest part of the Gaza strip problem is that if the Hamas were to allow the innocent to leave, where could they go? Israel? Egypt? The majority of the Palestinian people are in the same boat as the average citizen of Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. They are labeled and condemned by the actions of their governing leaders. The terrorist government controls every and all aspects of their everyday lives. You can not believe that all Palestinian citizens want to go to war. Their hands are tied and their voices are silenced by their leaders If they were to spea
