Poet. Musician. Pagan. Salt doll measuring the ocean's depth. Transcendental Situationist traveling @ the Speed of Now. There is a lot of Nothing to it. To really change a groove u need a bass player. Or a tree. WYSIWYG💙#Resist www.radicaldruid.com

The goal is making life more musical. Sometimes that requires instruments. Other times years of practice. Or you just need to open your mouth, clap your hands, & let the energy of community (commune w whoever u like) match your heartbeat. Sing your ass off - all the time. Don't ever drop the mic.
It’s the season. Welcome back the light, no matter what you call it or where you think it comes from. No matter what shore you dip your bucket in, it’s the same salt water. Dissolve with it. Grow from youthful independence to mature recognition of interdependence. You can do it. The lights are on.

The times when goodwill, peace and love
are praised are rare indeed;
and rarer still those instances
when thought translates to deed.

So in such seasons where these things
are found, take heart, rejoice,
and with compassion, grace and honor
add your hands and voice. #poetry #poetsky #yule

My second-favorite song from my favorite Stones album. If Billy Preston's organ solo on this doesn't send shivers up your spine, you really ought to get that checked. #RollingStones #StickyFingers #BillyPreston #MusicSky youtu.be/3B-aFsFBgc0?...

Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. It wastes your energy and convinces your opponent you are just as stupid as they are. And maybe they are right. LOL.

An ad selling this generation's version of mail order brides states that "In Asian cultures, love is a beautiful blend of tradition and devotion". In what culture is LOVE NOT a blend of tradition and devotion? Come on. Do we need to reinforce the stupidity that separates everyone into us and them?

A Charles Brown Christmas classic, as covered and recorded here by The Hardrick Rivers Revue (featuring Hardrick on sax and vocals, me on bass, Waylon Salter on guitar, and Pop Hymes on drums - also was that you Bill Spears on organ?) radicaldruid.com/mp3s/06%20Me...

We have so demonized, segregated & "dumbed down" the working class to fight the "specter of Communism" - and the intellectual backlash against Viet Nam - that there really is no danger of the US proletariat uniting any time soon. And we're ALL proletariats. Ain't none of y'all in the ruling class.

As the earth cools, its prime axis slanted
away from the sun for its winter turn,
as the hearth fires are stoked and brightly burn,
the seeds of the coming year are planted.
This dark season teaches us of balance;
it is the time for the silver moon. #poetry #solstice #midwinter

A moment of hesitation always lasts longer than a moment of opportunity. Simple relativity: a minute with a friend is much shorter than a second on a hot stove.

As any professional project manager can tell you, you can plan for everything except what actually happens. Because the what is a tool. You’re changing the who. Not replacing them. Changing who they are. Things that don’t change, die. Things that change die too. That’s where the method helps. LOL.

If you like me grew up listening to the Bay City Rollers, you’ll understand how cool this is, on a different level altogether:

Let’s face the obvious: the only group capable of bringing down ANY nation’s government are its sex workers. Political party don’t matter. And if they turn state’s evidence, they destroy their profession. For better or worse.

Since what seems the beginning of time, I have been a great rock singer. Unfortunately, not continually or consistently, and definitely not at the right place or right time (80s hair metal in LA, anyone LOL). And sometimes not the right octave. The curse of the eternal baritone.

So when you’re on a roll, is it that you’ve got momentum or gravity working for you, you’ve come into some dough that makes you yeasty, or you’ve just made a trip to the bathroom? LOL.
December 20, 2025 at 3:37 PM
You don’t believe what you’re hearing. But you keep making it heard (and giving it implicit credibility and substance) by reposting it. Nobody that’s paying attention needs to see it again. Nobody who believes it is listening anyway. You are the problem.

I blame the “liberals” who didn’t vote because they didn’t have a candidate who was liberal in their special way. Whereas the MAGAs just wanted an old, rich white guy with an OEM penis. That’s a much less fractured demographic, ain’t it?

I’ll give you a chance. Even porn bots and spam trolls need friends, right? But if you’ve got no posts, no bio, and no other Human Intelligence friends, and just pictures of your body, that chance is really slim. If you’re not who you are, who is? LOL.

Still standing after almost 61 years (in a week or so). And still probably to your left. Where the bass player should be. LOL.
December 20, 2025 at 2:27 PM
You don’t have to keep saying, “oh, wow, yet another lie,” like you’re so surprised. Their lips are moving, right? They’re posting it on social media, right? You have be a special kind of idiot to still think you’re supposed to believe this shit. In fact, are you well enough to be on the street? LOL

Behind every King of the Stone Age is a Queen of the Renaissance Age just trying to evolve the whole works just a little, tiny, wee bit further. I say we let her do it. And try to get out of the way :)

If you think I’m talking about you, you’re probably right. Then again, who cares what I say? #musicsky #musicnerds

I really think Dave should let the Republican Party use this as their mid-term campaign slogan. In an alternate universe, of course, where Democrats win elections with an actual platform that more than one voting bloc agrees on. youtu.be/eYrWCnvt7ws?...
