LIVE ROCK CRITIC
THIS blog WILL COMMENT ON LIVE ROCK PERFORMANCE. THE FIRST HUNDRED POSTS ; MY HONEST OPINION AS LIVE ROCK CRITIC. I have written lately of my own Live Rock journey and how it did end up wrecked on the rocks again and again. Still it is an incredible improvement to have recovered from virtual paralysis a number of times and be able to write and compose and play instruments and most of all to have been able to dance on stage and perfrorm on Harmonica with LIVE ROCK BANDS.

JUST RAPPING
RAPPERS WILL PURSUE OUTRAGEOUS AND HYPERBOLIC STANCES AND EVEN PERFORM LYRICS AND IN SUCH A MANNER WHICH SOME PEOPLE WOULD FIND TO BE OFFPUTTING.
RAPPERS ARE SEEKING TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE AND TO SUCCEED IN HAVING A FAN BASE OR A FOLLOWING.
THE POLITICAL BROADCASTERS AND POD CASTERS AND SOME POLITICIANS ARE WRITING AND PERFORMING IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE WAY THE RAPPERS APPROACH THEIR PERFORMANCE.
A LOT OF THE POPULAR WEB CASTERS OR SITE OPERATORS ARE BEING LISTENED TO AND THEIR POSTURING TO ATTRACT VIEWERS AND LISTENERS IS BEING ACCEPTED AS THE TRUTH. IF YOU WISH TO BE ENERVATED OR ENTERTAINED GO RIGHT AHEAD AND FOLLOW THE POPULIST FOLLOWER SEEKERS BUT DO NOT GET YOUR NEWS AND VIEWS FROM THOSE SOURCES. THEY ARE JUST RAPPING.
THE TIME A MUSICIAN WORKS AND PRACTICES MAY BE REWARDED WITH OUTSTANDING EARNINGS. THE WORK MIGHT COME TO FRUITION FOR A LIFETIME OR A SHORT TIME OR NOT AT ALL.
THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE ENVIOUS OR RESENTFUL OR FEEL THAT "MAKING MONEY FOR MUSIC" WAS ILLEGITIMATE.
I WORKED A LOT AT ART, WRITING AND MUSIC WHICH IS EVIDENCED BY MY TOTE FILLED WITH TAPES OF SONGS I WROTE AND PERFORMED AND RECORDED AND A BOX OF THE SONGS' LYRIC BOOKS. MORE RECENTLY I TAPED AND IN SOME CASES PUBLISHED MY WORK ON YOU TUBE AND @blogspot.com .
WHENEVER I HAVE BEEN FIT TO PRACTICE I PRACTICED EVERY DAY OR SECOND DAY FOR THE LAST FIFTY FIVE YEARS. I DID NOT MANAGE TO MAKE ANY MONEY.

I STILL DO WATCH SOME LIVE PERFORMANCES ON TV.
HOZIER WAS LIVE ON STEPHEN COLBERT LAST WEEK. HIS MUSICAL PERFORMANCE WAS SCHMALTZ . THE MOST PATHETIC PART OF HIS POSEURISM WAS THAT HE CARRIED HIS GUITAR WITH THE STRINGS BLOCKED ALL THE TIME AND WHEN HE `SOLOED` HIS GUITAR PLAYING WAS WEAK AND IRRELEVANT TO THE SONG AND THE MUSICAL SCORE.

TV SERIES CRITIQUE.
TRUE DETECTIVE "NIGHT COUNTRY".
TOUTED AS "AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL TRUE DETECTIVE". THAT IS NOT TRUE.
IN "NIGHT COUNTRY", THERE WERE A FEW UNUSUAL CHARACTERS BUT NOTHING LIKE THE POPULATION OF THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES AS DEPICTED IN THE ORIGINAL "TRUE DETECTIVE."
I KEPT WAITING FOR SOME MOMENTOUS REVELATION OR EVENT TO MATERIALIZE BUT ALL THERE WAS WAS A CREEPY UNSETTELLING APPREHENSION.
THE MUSIC WAS VERY GOOD.

PERFECT DANCE AT SUPERBOWL LVIII
USHER CAN DANCE AND HE SUNG VERY WELL DESPITE THE BLING AND THREADS.
USHER ROLLER SKATES JUST GREAT.
I DID SKATE AROUND VICTORIA STOPPING TO PLAY HARMONICA WITH BUSKERS, ROLLERBLADING IN TO PLAY SOME HARP AND THEN ROLLERBLADING AROUND AND RETURNING TO PLAY SOME MORE HARMONICA.
HE DANCED WITHOUT ANY AWKWARDNESS, WITH PERFECT BALANCE AND WITH NO VULGARITY.

I DID NOT THINK I WOULD WATCH IT BUT I DID. THE MOVIE WAS OK AND THE MUSIC WAS SPECTACULAR.
I BELIEVE MOST OF THE MUSIC WAS ORIGINAL. THE CLUB SCENE WITH BLACK SINGERS AND DANCERS AND A WHITE ROCK BAND WAS REALLY GOOD.
THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE THE VARIETY AND QUALITY OF THE MUSIC WAS VERY GOOD. THE CARS WERE GREAT ALSO. THE CITY SCENES WERE AUTHENTIC.

GREEN DAY AT THE GREY CUP CANADIAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN HAMILTON ONTARIO NOVEMBER 19 2023.
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU VIEW THE GAME WHICH WAS THE BEST FOOTBALL GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN.
GREEN DAY WERE REALLY GOOD. THERE WERE TWO PLACES I HAD TO PLAY THE CLIP OVER AND OVER.
ONE SEGMENT OF THE MUSIC WAS THE ACCELERATING CACOPHONOUS DRUM CRESCENDO IN THEIR FIRST NUMBER AT 1;38 IN THE TELEVISED GAME.
THERE WAS A REALLY DEEP TONED MULTI GUITAR BREAKOUT AT 1:45 -1:47 (I WALK ALONE)WHICH CULMINATED IN A SPECTACULAR SOLO ON A 335 GIBSON WHICH I HAD TO WATCH OVER AND OVER, PARTLY LISTENING, PARTLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW HE DID IT.

THE ATTACKERS SUCCEEDED. THEY KILLED POLITIC ROCKER AND LINDON'S OTHER FACETS AS AN A-POLITICAL ARTIST AND ARTISAN.
I WAS SURPRISED TO BE ATTACKED.
WHO WOULD ATTACK A CRIPPLED MAN WHO PLAYED HARMONICA WHERE NONE OF THE ATTACKERS LIVED, ACROSS THE GEORGIA STRAIGHTS IN VANCOUVER BC.
A FEW FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD HAVE HEARD ME PERFORM IF THEY WERE AT MY HOME AT SOME TIME IN 1971 TO 1980.
IN 1980 WHEN I BOUGHT LOT A AT OTTER POINT THERE WAS A SUNNY GREEN FIELD WITH BIRDS AND BEES AND BUTTERFLIES WHICH WAS ENCLOSED BY LINES AND LITTLE FORESTS OF TREES.
IT WAS WARM AND SUNNY AND QUIET UNTIL A REDNECK TRUCK ROARED BY.
"THERE IS A GUY IN THERE WHO DOES NOT WORK, ALL HE DOES IS WORK ON HIS HOUSE". THIS WAS JUST THE FIRST OF AN ENDLESS RANT OF DEFAMATION.
NONE OF THE REDNECK NEIGHBORS HAD EVER SEEN ME PERFORM OR MET ME, WHO ATTACKED ME AT OTTER POINT, WHERE THEY STOLE EVERYTHING, EVEN THE PLUMBING AND MY JEWELRY AND THEN ONE OR MORE OF THEM BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN. THEY ALSO WORKED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE REGIONAL DISTRICT TO IMPEDE MY RECOVERY FROM MY TOTAL LOSS.
WHEN MY HOUSE AND MY BUSINESS INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT WERE ELIMINATED, MY HOME AND ALL OF MY POSSESSIONS WERE NOT LESS GONE THAN A BOMBED BUILDING AND ITS CONTENTS ARE.
WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO REBUILD, WHICH MY INSURANCE COMPANY FORCED ME TO DO, IN THE PLACE THE REGIONAL DISTRICT FORCED ME TO REBUILD, THE REDNECK NEIGHBORS CUT MY TREES DOWN, STRIPPED MY TOPSOIL AND DUG A 17' DEEP HOLE AND FORCED MY BUILDER TO BUILD IN IT. THEY ALSO DUG A 17' DEEP UP TO 100' WIDE DITCH THROUGH THE ONLY FLAT LAND I HAD FOR 300'.
WHEN ALL OF THE TREES AT THE SOUTH EAST FRONT ACRE OF MY PROPERTY WERE CHOPPED DOWN AND TRUCKED OFF AND THE SOIL WAS STRIPPED IT LOOKED LIKE A BATTLE FIELD.
ON FACEBOOK, THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FIRST OTTER POINT HOUSE MARKS THE DEATH OF THE POLITIC ROCKER PERSONA OF LINDON COLLARD WHOSE MUSICAL AND POLITICAL ACTIVITY WAS THE MAJORITY OF LINDON'S LIFE.
