Thank you for your kind words. I'm not really sure what's going to happen. I'm not convinced Trump has any better idea what's really going on than you or I do. The whole thing is a massive puzzlement. We may all be shifting into different realities from each other daily. The center does not hold. I'm just trying to hang on, frankly.
I am relying on the concept of parallel realities, that we are in a simulated reality with many diversions, or programs, or levels. I want out of this current program. I want out of the simulation PERIOD!
Tom I know what you mean about Supertramps music. Loved it in HS and now when it is played on local 70s rock station its not the same...but I still enjoy because it takes me back.
Man I think we got eachother pegged. Cheap Trick was huge in HS. Frampton Comes Alive was JHigh monster. My friend in HS bought a beater Fiat Spider and introduced me to Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens. Good Times.
Cheap Trick was the first concert I saw, at Allentown Fairgrounds in Pennsy. It was the DREAM POLICE tour and The Rockets opened for them. Funny story about that day I may tell someday, but not today.
Cheap Trick was very popular and reasonably respected, but they looked like such a gimmick band I don't think they were taken as seriously as musicians as they should've been. That was one very tight group with three highly skilled players and a vocalist blessed with an amazing set of pipes. Saw them many times between 1979-1988. Thank you for your comment!
Cat Stevens RIP. Ever hear the 10,000 Maniacs cover of Peace Train? Natalie Merchant has a weird speech impediment, so it sounds like she's singing Pee Stain the whole time. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it!
I loved 10,000 Maniacs. Saw them several times. OUR TIME IN EDEN is a banger front to back, some truly exhilarating songs, and a couple other albums come close.
I'm familiar with their cover of "Peace Train," and how the label took the song off the album after Cat Stevens morphed into Yusef Islam. I'm not in the mood to put "pee stain" in my consciousness currently, and will work to eradicate the suggestion, if you don't mind. I will put in a good word for that first Yusef Islam album AN OTHER CUP, though. It has a lot of good Cat Stevens-ish songs, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmONfDfAaUg
Well, IF Wikipedia is telling us the truth, Model/Actress/SuperGroupie Patti D'Arbanville would have been 17 when she was cast in Andy Warhol's FLESH in 1968, and 18 when she started her modeling career and began dating Cat Stevens in London in 1969....the same year the U.K. lowered the AoC to exactly that, which makes me think there was probably a big influx of American models to England.
As for your insinuation that Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam has a predilection for jailbait, I assure you that rock stars banging barely legal (or not legal at all) teens (and tweens) during that period (and surely still now, though less openly) were hardly limited to practitioners of the Islamic faith.
That being said, there are a lot of unsettling pedo-fringe shadows throughout her career, names that you see over and over again about either predators (like the softcore teen nude photographer David Hamilton and rock star/Aleister Crowley acolyte Jimmy Page) or presumed young Hollywood victims (like poor Melanie Griffith, one of the most obvious 1970s jailbait victims, who was married to Don Johnson just like D'Arbanville was). But that's a story for another day, or maybe not.
I saw him, too, at a concert I didn't pay much attention to, the summer between my Senior year of high school and first creepy college year. It was at an outdoor venue, a bunch of people went, we were on the lawn far from the stage. Lots of families, warm evening, good atmosphere. New Jersey or Pennsylvania, can't recall where.
His material was pretty good, but IMHO was not so good for repeated listenings. So many of his songs were stories that seemed to prioritize the story over the melody, and once you've heard the story a couple times, it's like "I get it, I get it." Same goes for Gordon Lightfoot, especially that "Edmund Fitzgerald" song. Thank you for your comment!
Chris Cornell was on his way to becoming Gordon Lightfoot 2.0 when he passed. I was ok with it. His last solo album is a masterpiece that seems sadly overlooked.
It was certainly overlooked by me, but I was never that crazy about Soundgarden to being with. Thank you for the recommendation, perhaps I will check it out.
Found another picture of young "Sam". He might have had Dutch nationality but he's certain not ethnic Dutch. His face and nose are that of a Middle East man's and the way he wears his beard indicates his religion: Islam.
Nah, he's 100% NOT Dutch! And the way he wears his beard is not Jewish either.
The photo you linked is taken by his nephew who briefly describes him here. "...accomplished pianist, composer and pilot – led a private and semi-reclusive life."
Fair enough. I was mostly joking around. I have no idea.
The Wordpress site is where I grabbed the initial photograph, so I did read that. Interesting, but not particularly illuminating. R.I.P. for the guy, either way. Thank you for your comments!
Interesting, I'm glad to have read this, but it's impossible to say. High Strangeness all around Kate Middleton in the past year, the answer is clearly above my pay grade, at least for now. Thank you for sharing this.
Tom: More pls. What a great subject. Also, think about recording your words (I believe it would be a great listen, although all those alliterations!). Part 2?
Thank you for your kind comment. I've largely held off doing podcasts because I don't really want to be better known. I also write better than I speak extemporaneously.
She was wearing new pearl ear buds where she could be giving the answers or hints to remind her what to say. But we knew she would cheat somehow. I hope enough people are awake and don’t get us trapped in 4 more years of BS as I feel we couldn’t survive!
I've seen the accusations about those pearl ear buds and suppose it's possible, but it's also possible similar styled earrings were intentionally worn to spur the Conspiracy Theorists. Impossible to say.
The portions I watched, it looked to me like she had the questions beforehand and answers scripted. She answered too quickly and with such obvious rehearsal, while ABC didn't even try to disguise their bias.
Great article as always, and really interesting. The earth has been crawling with monsters, forever it seems, unbeknownst to me until 1997. I’m starting to assume that anyone in the spotlight is a monster and not on our side. Perhaps someone should publish a list of who the good guys are, since at this point we’re all really confused.
I have good instincts, so there are times I hear the opinion that someone is a monster and I have to readjust and rub my eyes. Naomi Wolf? She didn’t strike me as a bad guy, but since I recognize the chess we’re playing is 5D, nothing surprises me. Is she a monster from birth, or was she just paid off, or perhaps invited into the club to save her own ass?
And it’s very confusing that so many, many people seem to be in on this scheme. I’m assuming the average person has a conscience so whatever they’re peddling to get people to turn against humanity must be pretty compelling. And not everyone is a good actor, so how are so many pulling this off without stumbling? Or laughing? Or blinking from nervousness?
I grew up listening to Super Tramp. I’ve seen them in concert. I spent part of my child bearing years watching Oprah. I’ve known of Naomi Wolf for many years. How and why did they all end up in the wrong bed? What are they being told that convinces them? Is it a movie they are shown? A book they are given to read? Do they meet with aliens who show them the fate of the world if we don't get it together? What could possibly be so convincing to so many? Because it’s seemingly easy and guilt-less for so many people to hop on stage with the monsters and play a fake role, and lie to the audience, and then soak up the applause. They agree to play a role. They agree to become a liar. They agree to look us in the eye and fool us everyday, over and over again. Is this possible? That no one has a conscience? That given the right dollar amount and enough promises everyone will bail on their neighbor, their families, and their own values?
This perplexes me. I don’t question that it does happen, but I want to know how it happens. It makes less sense than Covid. It’s harder to understand than anything else happening out there. Humanity turning against humanity, and not only turning against, but also becoming great liars, great showmen, and a sincere willingness to become evil.
First of all, I don't lump Naomi Wolf in with Orca Winfrey and I don't think Naomi Wolf is a monster. I just no longer trust her.
I think Dr. Wolf is doing what she can in the limited range she's been provided by the guard rails that come along with secret society (and witchcraft?) vows and rituals, as well as the usual NDAs that accompany White House and big time political gigs, concerns about getting killed by the Clintons, probably a little sexual blackmail, and whatever it is the Jews have got going on.
IMHO, a lot of the people we see — and I would *not* put Naomi Wolf in this crowd, but I could be wrong — are dual personalities, or more, splintered through ritual abuse as a child. They turn one side "on" or "off," which is why they can look straight through you and lie with such ease. A lot of them go into acting or politics or corporate leadership...but a lot of them are being groomed for politics or acting or corporate leadership.
I've gone through periods of my life where the thrill of being/doing evil was darkly exhilarating, to feel like you've got one-up on everybody, but it never has lasted very long, and whenever confronted by the opportunity or choice to do REAL evil, I've balked. But I'm sure there are people less tethered to karma than I am, who truly enjoy the illicit thrill of doing evil, and take it to the maxx. Thank you for your comment!
If Naomi Wolf is acting on behalf of evil doers, then she is a monster. You can’t just dip one toe in these waters. She’s either all in or all out.
I don’t recall ever being in a position to do evil acts. I stole candy as a kid, haven’t always been as good to others as I’d like to have been, but that’s it, besides being a totally self-centered person as a blonde in my young adult years. It’s embarrassing to me now.
Do you mind sharing your own battles? What kind of evil can one get into these days? Join a cult? Ride a Harley? Have an affair? Rob a bank? Go to an Ivy League? What is evil anyway? What’s the boundary? What’s the definition?
Glad you’re enlightening the rest of us now. Thanks for the conversation.
Ha! I'm not doing much evil nowadays, and I can't really think of any time in my life I committed a big "E" Evil act, other than one thing in my 20s that maybe I'll write about at length someday but not today.
As for Naomi Wolf, I've given her a lot of shit already, I'm not ready to commit to the Big "E" for her, either.
What an outstanding Stack you have produced here, Tom. More proof that the psychopaths who are in control of everything that happens on this planet plan way ahead and show their evil works in everything we useless eaters read, watch and listen to during our lifetimes. Everything the ultra-rich technocrats do are interconnected with the occultic secret societies and their special club of sickos. We truly live in alternative reality.
Thank you so much, James! Doing best I can, having as much fun as possible mocking these mass murdering maniacs before the trap finally snaps shut. Unless it doesn't this go-round. Maybe they whiff this time. Who knows? Appreciate your kind comment!
Love your style, TS ( the content is funky ( and eerily on track); always stimulating in the best possible laugh mode😉with undoubted seriousness. Lampooning sums it up best, I think..
Thank you so much! My inspirations are Dave McGowan, Hunter S. Thompson & H.L. Mencken, with writing style often osmosified (not a word, but you know what I mean) from 1970s William Goldman.
Hahaha! Honestly, declaring war on Supertramp would be like declaring war on Czechoslovakia. It no longer exists. Otherwise, than you for the funny comment! I laughed.
I actually listened to BREAKFAST IN AMERICA yesterday. It's got some good songs. "Goodbye Stranger" is a good song. "Child of Vision," with that long keyboard playout, is a pretty good song. "The Logical Song" is a tough listen after a lifetime of already hearing too much, however. An over-rated band for sure, but I do think they've got legit musical chops.
They are good songs, but they don't really rock. They're just very white. It's Glee Club music. They should have written musicals or something. Also, I don't find either singer very special, timbre-wise. There's something about singers from that era where they all sounded the same -- Styx, REO Speedwagon, and Supertramp had guys with really thin voices. I used to know the original singer from Motley Crue and he had the same kind of voice... he could sing the shit out of all those bands' catalogs and sound exactly like the originals, but there's no balls involved. Also, when there's too much McCartney, and not enough Lennon in the lyrics, I go limp.
Jim Steinman definitely. The style is cabaret-based. I'm not really a fan of Meat Loaf's voice, though I loved Karla De Vito's vocals -- she sang Paradise by the Dashboard Lights live and lip-synchs it in the video, which is fun trivia: The lady who actually sang it on the record is an actress who was on the first season of Night Court, but was replaced by Markie Post.
No, where did you get that from? They all have this sort of speak-singing quality where they don't sing in chest-voice, it's all head-voice... it's very nasal-sounding. It's hard to describe to someone who doesn't sing. I guess Axl Rose would be considered head voice, but he sings with distortion so it sounds meaner. John Fogerty is more chest-voice, and he sings with distortion too, but from a different part of his throat. Chris Cornell is very similar to Fogerty. Cornell could hit super high notes in full chest-voice, which made him sound like he had demon lungs.
But then there's Mike Patton, who can do anything because he's a freak of nature who can sing lower and higher than Mariah Carey in her prime, he can sing clean, dirty, and distorted in chest voice, head voice, falsetto -- you name it, he can do it...
the number 1979 can be interpreted as 666 turn the nines upside down and subtract 1 from 7 and you get 666. Cathy O'brien victim of Mk Ultra, talks about Cheney's big dick, saying that he did not partake in child rape because he preferred not to because he was just too big.
Interesting reminder. I read Cathy O'Brien's book decades ago. Harrowing material, whether true or not. I believe she believes it. Thank you for your comment.

That old book on the wreck of the Titan is much more prophetic to me, and is a true WTF?

Indeed it is. And yet… we press on.
Inspired writing, by the way.
Thank you! Yeah, I mean what's the alternative? Thank you for your comment.
You knocked it out of the park again.
Do you think she will be installed next? Or, is Trump controlled opposition?
Thank you for your kind words. I'm not really sure what's going to happen. I'm not convinced Trump has any better idea what's really going on than you or I do. The whole thing is a massive puzzlement. We may all be shifting into different realities from each other daily. The center does not hold. I'm just trying to hang on, frankly.

Many theorists on quantum physics suggest we can "quantum jump" to new timelines. Thank you for your comment!
What's most important at this point is for Supertramp to be eradicated like vermin.
Tom I know what you mean about Supertramps music. Loved it in HS and now when it is played on local 70s rock station its not the same...but I still enjoy because it takes me back.
Cheap Trick is my nostalgia kick. But no shame in whatever brings a smile. Thank you for your comment!
Man I think we got eachother pegged. Cheap Trick was huge in HS. Frampton Comes Alive was JHigh monster. My friend in HS bought a beater Fiat Spider and introduced me to Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens. Good Times.

I used to have his greatest hits on my phone. How old was Lady D'Arbanville when they were dating, btw? Might be a clue as to why he went Islam.
Well, IF Wikipedia is telling us the truth, Model/Actress/SuperGroupie Patti D'Arbanville would have been 17 when she was cast in Andy Warhol's FLESH in 1968, and 18 when she started her modeling career and began dating Cat Stevens in London in 1969....the same year the U.K. lowered the AoC to exactly that, which makes me think there was probably a big influx of American models to England.

His food pantries live on!

Holy cats! More grist for supernatural. Thank you for your comment!
Conch shells can be used to issue calls and alarms; to summon a group—they sound very similar to shofars when blown.

Thank you so much for your complimentary comment!
Wow...talk about things that make you go hmmm....
I'm with you, buddy! Let's start The War on Supertramp! Right? You're bloody-well right!
Hahaha! Honestly, declaring war on Supertramp would be like declaring war on Czechoslovakia. It no longer exists. Otherwise, than you for the funny comment! I laughed.

There's something about singers from that era where they all sounded the same -- Styx, REO Speedwagon, and Supertramp had guys with really thin voices. I used to know the original singer from Motley Crue and he had the same kind of voice... he could sing the shit out of all those bands' catalogs and sound exactly like the originals, but there's no balls involved. Also, when there's too much McCartney, and not enough Lennon in the lyrics, I go limp.
Intriguing comment! Thank you!
"They should have written musicals or something." Styx actually tried, with PARADISE THEATER! Jim Steinman, couple others too.
Jim Steinman definitely. The style is cabaret-based. I'm not really a fan of Meat Loaf's voice, though I loved Karla De Vito's vocals -- she sang Paradise by the Dashboard Lights live and lip-synchs it in the video, which is fun trivia: The lady who actually sang it on the record is an actress who was on the first season of Night Court, but was replaced by Markie Post.
are you saying some of these singers are transgender?
No, where did you get that from? They all have this sort of speak-singing quality where they don't sing in chest-voice, it's all head-voice... it's very nasal-sounding. It's hard to describe to someone who doesn't sing. I guess Axl Rose would be considered head voice, but he sings with distortion so it sounds meaner. John Fogerty is more chest-voice, and he sings with distortion too, but from a different part of his throat. Chris Cornell is very similar to Fogerty. Cornell could hit super high notes in full chest-voice, which made him sound like he had demon lungs.

But then there's Mike Patton, who can do anything because he's a freak of nature who can sing lower and higher than Mariah Carey in her prime, he can sing clean, dirty, and distorted in chest voice, head voice, falsetto -- you name it, he can do it...

the number 1979 can be interpreted as 666 turn the nines upside down and subtract 1 from 7 and you get 666. Cathy O'brien victim of Mk Ultra, talks about Cheney's big dick, saying that he did not partake in child rape because he preferred not to because he was just too big.
Interesting reminder. I read Cathy O'Brien's book decades ago. Harrowing material, whether true or not. I believe she believes it. Thank you for your comment.
