For All The People to See!

 


For All The People to See

 

Grandpappy told my pappy

Back in my day, son

When a man had to answer

For the wicked he done

 

Take all the rope in Texas

Find a tall oak tree

Round up all of them bad boys

Hang ‘em RIGHT in the street!

 


 

Again and again I return to Western Justice. I take a lot of hits when I do that for several reasons. First off my ways are archaic. Too old fashioned. Won’t work in the modern world. We’ve moved beyond that. Yada Yada Yada. Have we moved past kidnapping and murdering little nine-year-old girls? 

 

In this four-thousand-year misunderstanding in the Middle East a little girl was “captured.” Her parents were killed before her very eyes. She was rushed from house to house by “brave soldiers” of Hamas as Israeli forces sought to find hostages. Finally, in an act of benevolence, the followers of Mohammed released her. 

 

Hamas hadn’t a prayer of victory when they pounced on a music festival in Israel. But they beat up little girls real good! God gave the Jews Israel but He signed a sublease to the Palestinians. All was well until we stepped in and declared the Second Coming and invalidated over a thousand years of history by giving the so-called Holy Land to the Jews. Ok! Hitler was a monster. Ok! The Germans looked the other way. Ok, they need reparations. Give ‘em Germany. Hell! Give ‘em the Vatican too! I don’t find anywhere that Pope WhoEVER even called Der Fuhrer in need of confession. Don’t you wanna know why? Because it was standing room only in the gas chambers. THAT’S why! Everyone’s always running off at the mouth about to “Judeao-Christian West. There you go. The Holy Roman Synagogue. 

 

Sometimes it boils down to one thing. Everything else don’t mean . . . well what Jack Palance said it don’t mean. Roger’s been nice to me so I gotta cool it on the language, but you know where I’m going. Well, the one thing that riles me is the mistreatment of one nine year old girl. And it doesn’t matter if she’s a Jew, a Muslim, or a Mormon. She’s a little girl. God . . .wait, better not say that. To hades with your religion. What was that Jesus said about millstones? Yeah. If you so much as offend one of the little ones. Kidnap, molest, kill, or even steal their ice cream. Offend! 

 

God! Hamas and Nathan Yahoo better thank their Gods I’m not the president. I’d take “for all the people to see” to a whole new level. Steal a camel. A fast one. I’d hang camel thieves. And they are all guilty. This mess is no different than an 1880 range war sans Billy the Kid. When you steal people’s land you’re just a filibuster. Don’t feel righteous. If you don’t have a feather in your hair you are not American. You are a guest. Likewise, if you offend a little girl you’re just a pedophile. What’re you doing here, Mohammed?

 

She’s nine and counting. Her brothers and sisters are worldwide and they’re growing. And we are facing a real live race of Attention Deficiency Adherents who one day will serve us up a big old pot of revenge.  And we will piss and moan and invoke our religions as we swing . . . for all the people to see!

And We Call Them “Elderly?”

  Many have passed away, and those who are still here are called —>The elderly<— Bill the Butcher We were born in the 40s-50s-60s. We grew up in the 50's-60's-70's We studied in the 60s-70s-80s. We were together in the 70s-80s-90s. We got married or not and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s. Adventuring into the 80s - 90s We're settling in to the 2000s. We became wiser in 2010s. And we’re going strong into 2020 and beyond. Turns out we went through EIGHT different decades... TWO different centuries... TWO different millennials... We've gone from phone with operator for long distance calls, pay booths, video calls worldwide. We’ve gone from slides to YouTube, vinyls to online music, handwritten letters to emails and Whats App. Live games on the radio, black and white TV, color TV, then HD 3D TV. We went to the video store and now watching Netflix. Pamela Woodward, Writer & Film Producer  We've known the first computers, punch cards, disks and now

Ain’t No Room Round Here For a Guitar Man

      Vic keeps me in line. I never seek attention and Tommy Overstreet said years ago I had a “Whole lot of quit in me!” I will not enumerate how many songs, books, articles or movies I’ve written but I will say that I’ve given away more than I’ve published. Newbies are always talking about “dues” they’ve paid when they first start out. Dues are what you realize when it’s all over and done and the Devil comes knocking.   Alcoholism becomes a viable option and beats working. Fancy words like “depression” don’t work because if you’re a writer you quickly realize that depression gives you the best material because nobody wants to hear about sunny days, they just want to make it through the night.   So, you drink yourself into a pit, and somewhere in that pit is a hit, if you’re lucky. But you’ll never know it. Not until those long after you’re gone understand what you were really trying to say. You wake up in someplace where they bring your medicine on time, and when you tell them you’re

You Are Our Children

  How’d you like a little death to add life to your party? There’s a new kid on the block. Fentanyl.  Back in the day James Brown lamented “King Heroin.” Fentanyl is the new Kool Aid. Jim Jones Kool Aid! Why in the world would anyone wanna invent something like that is beyond me. Hitler could have saved all that money on Zyklon B if He’d had fentanyl! A little dab’ll do ya? Try 1/500 th of a dab!   Now I know you kids out there are thinking I’m just an old “Fuddy Duddy,” but let me educate you. I’ve been in entertainment since 1969. Do the math. From Austin to Nashville, and I have been there, done that. In addition to that I was crushed between two cars in 1970 and had a legal, non-stop source of pain medication for years. My morning ritual was two Darvon 65s and a couple placidyl to set ‘em off. When they all hit my nose would bleed, I’d wash my face and stumble down the stairs to meet the day . . . in NASHVILLE! Not some school yard pretending you’re a “gangsta!”   Now let’s talk a
