Shotgun – taken from the new album ‘Punk Northern and Blue.’ Available internationally from cdbaby and soon at itunes/rhapsody/napster/amazon and all those kinda places…

Ah, the memories.

Decidedly non-fancy ones, I’m afraid, but they are mine. Hat tip to my dear friend Bluesstringer for turning me on to an article about guitars made out of cigar boxes. Yep, three stringed cigar box guitars. CBG for short. I had not been aware of them and am hence mightily impressed! The Guitar World article was accompanied by this video of punkblues band Hollowbelly (who impress me, too!) which features one of these, along with footage of a recording studio session using a wonderful old TEAC A-3340. Ahhh… You really could make a record on one of those babies.

I like this punkblues type of blues… really excellent!

A third impression was the article stating that one of these CBGs could be built for $25 Yankee. In the other accompanying and excellent video cigar box guitar expert Shane Speal, the world’s foremost master of the cigar box guitar says it can be done for ten!

Here’s that other vid…

Yowza!

Just might have to make me one these thingies… ha! Got the socket already!

Peace.

Advice: Criticality Factor 11
“Politically correct”

is another phrase for “Marxism.”
Be fully aware of this. It censors your thinking by making certain thoughts “off limits” and it makes you speak in doubletalk, obscuring your meaning until you actually think that way. Politicians are usually great at this because they have sold themselves out. Be true to yourself.”

“Nothing is so firmly believed as what is least known”

– Michel De Montaigne

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

– Voltaire

“Whoever, therefore, insinuates notions of government contrary to the constitution, or in any way winks at any measures to suppress or even to weaken it, is not a loyal man.

Whoever acquaints us that we have no right to examine into the conduct of those who, though they derive their power from us to serve the common interests, make use of it to impoverish and ruin us, is, in a degree, a rebel—to the undoubted rights and liberties of the people.”

– Samuel Adams, Loyalty & Sedition, 1748

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

– Richard Buckminster Fuller

“It’s unkind to point out the Obvious to those who don't want to see it.

It is worse to point out the Invisible to those convinced it doesn't exist.”

– Ingo Swann

“Science is not always what scientists do.”

– J. Allen Hynek

“When you’re one step ahead of the crowd you’re a genius, when you are two steps ahead you are a crackpot.”

– Rabbi Shlomo Riskin

“The membrane between pulp and reality at times wears thin.”

– Mick Farren

“Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split as a general thing.”

– Robert E. Howard

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

– J. Krishnamurti

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

– Jack Kerouac

“The Torture Never Stops”

– Mr. Francis Vincent Zappa

“Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up at least a little bit.”

– Edward R. Murrow

“We do not, at present, educate people to think, but rather, to have opinions; and that is something altogether different.”

– Louis L’Amour

Into your heart it will creep.”

The Professors Speak…

“The type of UFO reports that are most intriguing are close-range sightings of machine-like objects of unconventional nature and unconventional performance characteristics, seen at low altitudes, and sometimes even on the ground. The general public is entirely unaware of the large number of such reports that are coming from credible witnesses... When one starts searching for such cases, their number are quite astonishing. Also, such sightings appear to be occurring all over the globe.”

Professor James E. McDonald from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Arizona speaking at the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) in 1968

“As a result of several trips to project Bluebook,I’ve had an opportunity to examine quite carefully and in detail the types of reports that are made by Bluebook personnel. In most cases, I have found that there’s almost no correlation between so-called “evaluations and explanations” that are made by Bluebook and the facts of the case...

There are hundreds of good cases in the Air Force files that should have led to top-level scientific scrutiny of this problem,years ago,yet these cases have been swept under the rug in a most disturbing way by Project Bluebook investigators and their consultants.”

Dr James McDonald – Senior physicist at the Institute for Atmospheric Physics and professor in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Arizona

“One should be skeptical of both the believers and the scoffers. The negative claims of pseudo-skeptics who offer facile explanations must themselves be subject to criticism. That kind of approach is also pseudo-science. Moreover just being a scientist confers neither necessary expertise nor sufficient knowledge.”

Dr. Bernard Haisch
Director for the California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics

–Obersumfuhrer-SS Josef Mengele

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to h arm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

– George W. Bush – Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius, and a lot of courage, to move in the opposite direction.”

– Albert Einstein

“Only two things are infinite the universe and human folly. and I’m not sure about the universe.”

– Albert Einstein

“A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.”

– Mark Twain

“Just ’cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town.”

– George Carlin

“Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye.”

– Bill Hicks

“This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience ... In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. [...] ”

– Dwight D. Eisenhower – Farewell address

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are:
‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”

– Ronald Reagan

“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.”

– J. Edgar Hoover

“When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, ‘Let us pray.’ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”

– Bishop Desmond Tutu

“Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.

– Thomas Jefferson

“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death. What luck for the rulers that men do not think.”

– Adolf Hitler

“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”

– Edward R. Murrow

“The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we do about peace, more about killing than we know about living. If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.”

– General Omar Bradley
Revelations

“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity.. anything you can imagine we already know how to do.”

– attributed to the late Ben Rich, former CEO, Lockheed Skunk Works

“Of course the flying saucers are real and they are Interplanetary!”

– Air Chief Marshal Hugh Caswall Tremenheere Lord Dowding, 1st Baron, Commander, Royal Air Force, Great Britain, August 1954

“We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than we had hitherto assumed, and whose base of operations is at present unknown to us. More I cannot say at present. We are now engaged in entering into closer contact with those powers, and in six or nine months time it may be possible to speak with some precision on the matter.”

– attributed to SS-Sturmbannführer Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun, reflecting on the deflection of the US June 2 rocket from orbit in 1959.

“We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone; we have been helped.”

– Dr. Hermann Julius Oberth

When asked by whom, he replied: “The people of other worlds.”

– “In an article in The American Weekly magazine of October 24, 1954, Oberth stated, “It is my thesis that flying saucers are real, and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our earth for centuries.”” [ref Wikipedia]
Dustings

In 1961, a US Air Force document stated that:

In addition to their staff duty assignments, intelligence team personnel have peacetime duty functions in support of such Air Force projects as Moon Dust, Blue Fly and UFO, and other AFCIN directed quick reaction projects which require intelligence team operational capabilities.

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO): Headquarters USAF has established a program for investigations of reliably reported unidentified flying objects within the United States.

Blue Fly: Operation Blue Fly has been established to facilitate expeditious delivery to Foreign Technology Division of Moon Dust or other items of great technological intelligence interest.

Moon Dust: As a specialized aspect of its overall material exploitation program Headquarters USAF has established Project Moon Dust to locate, recover, and deliver descended foreign space vehicles
Nate Knew.

In 1947, USAAF Commanding General Nathan Twining signed Air Materiel Command’s message that UFOs were real.

“As requested by AC/AS-2 there is presented below the considered opinion of this command concerning the so-called “Flying Discs”:

a. The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious.
b. There are objects probably approximately the shape of a disc, of such appreciable size as to appear to be as large as man-made aircraft.
c. There is the possibility that some of the incidents may be caused by natural phenomena, such as meteors.
d. The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.

Signed,
Commander, General Nathan Twining.
1953 - 1957 Chief of Staff of the Air Force
1957 - 1960 Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff

“This flying saucer situation is not at all imaginary or seeing too much in some natural phenomena. Something is really flying around. The phenomenon is something real and not visionary or fictitious.”
