Big Brother is Multi National Companies or Large Corporations. It’s The Macdonaldization or the Multli Level Marketing cancer that kills off humanity. Like the slow eventual boiling of a frog in a pot of cold water under a flame; we see the results far too late. By then the people shrug their shoulders and say “that’s just the way it is mate”. They except it like many except formalised religion..Basically they are accepting money/power over sense. I remember once remonstrating with a work colleague that he stop wearing the free Tee Shirt he was given by the large company we worked for. He really just hadn’t thought about it. Many of these companies will take your soul.. And like the poor old boiling frog the many see it; all too late. Before too long they will indoctrinated by the companies ideology. Again a bit like religion or power it will eventually win..That is why Narcissist’s do so well in these conditions. For they have zero empathy and they are happy to follow the companies line. Whatever that maybe. I believe that one in every four people is a Narcissist. So in that knowledge we must assume that not all people can not be trusted to do the fair thing.Some staff abuse the public's privacy. The Multi Level Marketing Concept has always been about exploiting the worst side of human nature. As John Lennon’s eloquent lyrics say in</span> his song “Working Class Hero”. “There’s Room at Top They are telling you still”. “But first must learn how to smile as you kill; “if you want to be like the folks on the hill.”. Power can manipulate any whim to achieve an outcome. That’s why the world needs strong hard-line regulations for companies and businesses. Especially now with AI and all the technological devices. Now, you really need to do a 3 year technology degree to fully understand Computer Technology. And by that time you will probably have to do another course to understand the new technology coming out. And never before have we seen such a match made in Hell with Capitalism and technology and Artificial Intelligence. Companies probably have a 100 year forecast plans. Huston! we already have a big problem now! Personally I'd prefer stand alone apps and; that I have full control of a device without the internet doing the changes on my laptop and collecting data. Here’s the thing I’'d pay an extra $500 for a computer that does this. I know this would sound crazy at a Geeks Fondue Pyjama Party. Have they not watched Midnight Express. And with the fact we have all this new clandestine recording equipment and spy- cameras and tracking devises available to us; there are many Big Brothers watching us. And for some time I have been worried about my last colonoscopy. Something I used to joke about. Though there was a last minute replacement by a surgeon called Doctor Christian Szell. Mmmm.</font></p><p style="text-align:center;"><br> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><br> </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/73482012024-02-09T09:31:21+11:002024-02-27T13:45:09+11:00A Cassette, Pettiness and Peace<p style="text-align:center;"><font size="2">Dear Osky Wasky Puddin Pie it sure has been some journey for the past 5 years. Your kind of evil has taught me a great deal though. There is no doubting that you have had a fine education and that you are a learned fellow though when push comes to shove you are just a slave to your nurture. And yes you do have a great deal of power sitting in that ivory tower pontificating on what us poor miss guided fools should be doing every day. You certainly are a man of your time. You have everything at your disposal. Technology, learned history, language, access to theologians and historical strategist’s and influential powerful connections. I am sure you must feel like a God sometimes or is it the devil. Whether directly or indirectly you know that I have had listening devices and cameras placed in my homes for the past few years and tapping my phone calls as well and getting texts from one phone company that say they don’t know why I am getting them. This has given you so much fun hasn’t it? Those cameras are so powerful they can focus in a small tablet like Buscopan. Then they’ll run an advert on that product while I’m watching a You Tube video. Sometimes bragging rights and an evil twists that the camera operators are having so much sadistic fun that they just have to let me know just how much power they have over you. Though; the main reason they film/photograph you in your own home is so they can get all your passwords from all the web sites that you log into. Or see what you are writing about on your laptop or break into my place while I’m asleep as someone already has a key. They can even jam up your computer so you can’t use it at all. Or in my case show a fake page stating that all my music has been removed. Along with all my private emails being hacked; its all designed to drive you crazy. I am not sure what spying equipment they use? It could be an Israeli company that make a Spyware product called Pegasus? or Candid Camera for creeps. I now have to cover myself with a bed sheet to use the computer. And the another debauched pleasure is found in running an image or an advert on You Tube about the activity I am doing at the time like a certain like a Yoga posture or something else. This is what you represent a powerful invasion of privacy. Though in your <i>pettiness</i> and your Achilles-heal and a dead give away with my my piece-resistance evidence is. And yes I don’t know whether I have been coming or going lately with all the stalking. Good Cop, Bad Cop stuff on the internet and spying. It’s all designed to intimidate you. From house break inns and surveillance etc. And the early give away of your evil was going on a dating site a few years ago and I was only ever being contacted by Jewish women. Yes that was so much fun for you wasn’t it Oscky Wasky? Though the theft of one little item from my current abode is so hilarious and pathetic and petty. And oh so petty is the theft of my cassette tape of Elton John’s “The Collection” Album was a dead give away of the your pettiness and invasion in my life and privacy. So I will state my view on Elton’s and Bernie's song called “Border Song”. I believe that Elton added the last verse to this song to avoid being called Anti Semitic. Or to put it this way, he did it so he could live in peace as the song lyrics suggests. Let us live in peace. So’ yes so let us live in peace. Though a last verse was added to kind of muddy the waters. Don’t mention the war smokescreen; with an early 70s US civil rights anti racist feel to it. “There’s a man over there what’s his colour I don’t care”. “He’s my brother let us live in peace”.Da Da dump da dum da dum. You knew I played this album quite a lot didn’t you Osky? I should sue you for loss of earnings and harassment and for not been able finish any of my projects for the past 5 years. And your other Jewish music friends who make sure my music is so hard to find online or its either found in “plumbing equipment” area or in the “Latvian Unorthodox Polka music” section on You Tube. You are such a cowardly sadistic man. …..And you are still listening to my phone calls Osk-wasky.</font></p><p style="text-align:center;"><font size="2">AND….</font></p><p style="text-align:center;"><font size="2">Osky Wasky you really need to help me to get the perpetrators to remove the listening devices and Camera’s from my home. How about they come over and remove them? I won’t tell anyone. I’ll even make them a cup of Tea and they can go their merry way. Common! Osky Wasky you can do it. I know you secretly admire me. And tell your friend he stills owes me with interest around $5000 for smashing up my mini bike when I was 14. Thanks Osky. </font></p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/73474452024-02-08T05:33:39+11:002024-02-09T09:27:44+11:00Sam and Jordan and Religion <p style="text-align:center;">The latest YouTube podcast with Jordan Petersen and Sam Harris was another loss for organised Religion. Physiologist Jordan Peterson retreat to religion is like the cry to Mummy or the womb when one has truly caved into nuture or what it felt like to be loved. Sam just played a straight bat and hit ignorance and fanaticism for 6 ever so nicely of course. Six is a cricketing term for our dear American friends.We will all do the cry to Mummy sometime in our lives even Sam. Good to see Jordan looking relaxed and composed and more professional than I’d seen him for some time. Religion lost again badly. Charisma, charm, story-telling soothsaying, convictional, car-salesmanship, from yesteryear doth not make it true. The only hell is here on earth and you will find it in evil trouble-making people. And they are usually the fundamentalist's.</p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/73239082023-12-25T05:40:50+11:002024-01-13T08:27:25+11:00Religion, Father Christmas and Community<p align="left"><br> </p><p align="left">It seems some are still addicted to surveillance, spying and stalking. And for some religious groups; it still is there go to position. For they are in the information business. They must know everything. That’s why they position themselves or make sure they have a person in every country, company, business, government, industry orifice and port across the world. They are very good at business of course though its more about the network. For they have always got there ear the ground. Maybe; it’s just fear about being an ethnic minority. And they still live by the old world underground network of gossip. The pros are obvious though the cons are organised religion itself. This year I finally got confirmation from the North Pole that Father Christmas isn’t true. Wow! It’s has been hard to process and soul searching time for me. Apparently like Superman he’s just a man in a suit. I can’t believe it and it’s a hard pill to swallow. So we are just individuals and we have to sort it all out for by ourselves? Well jeepers that’s quite liberating when you really think about it. Right; so what does that mean? Well; we can still learn from Religion? The Rituals are good. Maybe doing Meditation or Yoga with a candle in the mornings and saying an aphorism for the day is spirituality in its self. Connecting with your self and solving a problem. Connecting with yourself is Religion. Because if you don’t have any compassion for yourself you can’t have any for someone else. Second issue is we need community. Maybe we just need some organised Community Talk cafes where we just chat to anyone and everyone of all ages about anything. There is enough good philosophy and psychology out there to guide us all. I am now embracing the fact that Santa isn’t true. It’s hard though maybe I can finally grow up and stand on my own 2 feet. Why was I getting so excited for just one day of the year anyway? When I can get in touch with me everyday. All organised Religion obviously has the good, bad and ugly side in them though some behave like the Mafia.And the breakdown of Religion and people leaving it has seen a rise in antisocial behaviour where some head toward some unproven conspiracy theories or end up in some Red Neck Cult; like the sycophants who follow an ex President. Maybe real religion is having the courage to work on your own shortcomings and to realise in the end we are all on our own. You don’t have to join a club to be member of the human race. The noise of power and the kaos of society is the antithesis of what we need. And trouble is always caused by the cowards and Narcissists. The thing is; I can handle angry, sad, opposite, difficult, unauthentic people though the cowardly manipulative types you can never trust. Religion was and is a man made construct to control people. And I believe children shouldn’t be taught religion until they are 18 years of age. It should be like getting your car license. Basically any younger than 18 years is an indoctrination of the innocent. Groucho Marx said it best. “I wouldn’t join any club that would have me as a member”. Along with Groucho’s fine teachings comic great “Saint George Carlin” has left us with some funny and articulate rants and genius on religion. And, science communicator, astronomer and atheist Carl Sagon had some interesting views on religion; saying “spirituality should be scientifically informed and traditional religions should be abandoned”. That sounds like a far more exiting and liberating future and than viewing it through all these ridiculous archaic Religions.</p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/73162652023-12-08T16:46:55+11:002023-12-08T16:55:58+11:00Things I have learnt about the internet<p> </p><p>Sadly I learnt a great deal about the internet and how unsafe we are.</p><p> </p><ol><li>If you are logging into your email or any of your regular web sites; take note if the web site is slightly faded or a little unclear.I believe some scammers can put an almost clear screen over the top of your web site that you are logging into via a cookie or something.Then they can capture your email and password.

Unbridled Capitalism has destroyed us socially, environmentally and politically. No one person is worth some outrageous salary’s, dividends and payouts some CEO’s earn. A form of Orwell’s 1984 is here right now. And we have had zero planning with regards to the social outcomes of immigration. The population growth was and is all about GDP. Keeping the wheels ticking over for the Capitalist’s. Offshoring, Outsourcing and Privatisation has been part of our undoing also. And we used to adhere to a form of integration years ago. I know that was sometimes seen as a little harsh though trusting accountants and bean counters on all your countries solutions is recipe of what we have now. Fix society and the economy will take care of itself. And tourism isn’t a business; it’s by-product or a bonus. And to the young ones; the Baby Boomers have had it the best. Some have now added a little French Chateau to their property portfolios so they can escape the very harsh Australian winters. Equity in property; is the only game in town now. Don’t by into their criticism that you are lazy or can’t do the hard work. We are living in a parallel universe. Some are waving with a smile of course and some of you are drowning.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><br> </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/72414852023-07-14T07:25:51+10:002023-08-17T11:08:35+10:00Housing Emergency and Perfection<p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p style="text-align:center;"><br> <span>I am so glad Mr Anthony Albanese has stated privately that he will never ever mention publicly his so-called struggles growing up in a housing Commission home. Because it would be insulting to people who are renting or are homeless in 2023. As his experience pales into insignificance to the modern horror; called renting in Australia. I like what The Greens party’s Max Chandler-Mather policies has been putting forward regarding the housing crises. Though we need to start building homes ASAP. Though and sorry to quote Sting again. </span><i><span>“The search for perfection is all very well. But to look for heaven is to be here in hell’</span></i><span>. Greens; sometimes a win is a win. Grab what you can get. Though Albo is playing politics and doing </span><i><span>The George Costanzza </span></i><span>“I must be liked” act. Politicians shouldn’t try to be celebrities. We are in a crises Mr Albanese. I’d be bringing in the Army and start building homes made of mud-bricks lined with recyclable materials. Do something! do anything! Though lets build energy saving quality homes not crappy ones built by dodgy tradesmen. Surely we can use our imagination and ingenuity and make a start and build one home of quality. Mind you the other side have wrecked the joint. And anyway they won’t be back in power for another 10 years. Mr Albanese you have the ascendancy. Don’t waste time playing it safe. Get rid of those stupid Tax Cuts and also and get rid of Negative Gearing after the 2<sup>nd</sup> investment property and bring back the Full Capital Gains Tax or make them wait longer than 1 year to get any benefits. And you can’t keep bringing more people here if we can’t affordable house them. In the words of John Kennedy; Don’t think Do!</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span><strong>On a second view I am totally with you Max and Adam Bandt. Albo doesn't get it.</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span>And…..</span></p><p style="text-align:center;" align="left">Investigate all the homes that are left empty for years and years and no one ever lives in them.</p><p style="text-align:center;" align="left">I know of one place that has been internally renovated 3 times in the past 12 years though no one ever</p><p style="text-align:center;" align="left">lives there. Houses, homes are like stock piling gold for the rich and wealthy. It's now a global thing</p><p style="text-align:center;" align="left">These houses are like Blue Chip asset-class stocks. They are held like shares and the renovations can provide good losses against company gains. Some religious groups and companies ie) pty ltd companies are buying up residential properties in a very big way. The average Australian desire to own one roof over your head is competing against this unfairness along with dodgy off shore funds that are invested into safe blue chip Aussie homes; that no one ever lives in.</p><p align="left"> </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/72249442023-06-12T16:21:23+10:002023-06-14T06:42:39+10:00In Celebration of the King <p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p style="text-align:center;"> </p><p style="text-align:center;">On this auspicious day I’d like to take time out for a moment of consideration and reflection for the recognition of the King. His body of work is unparalleled. I have followed him like a loyal subject since the beginning. Not sure why he hits all the Notes for me? Is it; that many of his songs are sung in a minor key? Is that the secret? For he is the grand-master and the William Shakespeare of Popular Music. A great philosopher and intellect and a man of fine words and insightful wisdom. There are so many fine sonnets and numerous solutions in just one song <i>“History will teach us nothing”</i> for one. Is it time he changed a chord; got his hands dirty and headed for the House Of Lords? <i>“It’s Probably Me”</i> just thinking out-loud. Anyway Long Live The King; The King of Pop music; <i>Sting. </i>Charlie's not a bad bloke either.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><br> </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/72104362023-05-17T17:50:50+10:002023-06-04T09:31:12+10:00The Tasmanian Football Stadium<p>I am totally with Jacquie Lambie and the protestors in Tasmania regarding building a brand new Football stadium .If the AFL want's to build a brand new stadium?

Even though you love them they choose not to see. They’d rather talk about the weather or the birds flying by. Or the vork, “Yes! there’s so much vork down there”. “You vait and see”. To the ones who fight and fight you only to one day eventually tell you it was their idea in the first place. Or trusting Formalised Education so much so that you throw out your own intuition. And To the person who told me I couldn’t put a wardrobe in my kitchen. It may have started it’s life as a wardrobe though it doesn’t always have to be. And in some relationships; some treat you like a possession. To the one way conversations who talk at you and not to you. And the greatest obstinate ignorance of them “All <i>Religions</i>”<i>.</i>To me it’s like outsourcing your own mind to the tooth-fairy. Obstinate Ignorance is incredibly lazy also. And nor can you reason with it.</p><p align="left"><br> </p><p align="left">I wrote the above poem a few years ago and it created some consternation in some. I guess it is anti religious . And the voicing of the Jew is based on the Australian actor Johnny Lockwood character Aldo Godolfus from the old Australia TV serial Number 96. As he was the first Jew I’d probably ever heard of. Though he sounded a little more Italian than Jewish. And I probably didn’t see my first Orthodox Jew until I was 22. I guess I could have called this Poem “Intellectual Laziness”; maybe that would have been less offensive. I was only mocking the Vordink. And maybe a fictional character that could be found anywhere in society. Re Auschwitz. Some doth protest too much I think. In the end we are all sensitive about something. We just need to watch the collective <span style="color:#000000;"><font size="3"><span lang="en-AU">sensitivity</span></font></span> and selective outrage. I didn’t realise how ignorant I was until I went overseas for the first time. Apart from falling down a Big Rabbit hole in the last few years which has sent me on a big learning curve. I am Fundamentalist Seinfeld fan. It’s the best TV sitcom ever. And all I know is many roads in my education leads to watching Seinfeld. From Uncle Leo antics to Jerry’s last out-take on The Big Salad episode on how to extract revenge. We are all offended and effected by ignorance. We are all human; don’t sweat the small or the easy stuff. Though I do think it’s time the Jewish orthodox woman were allowed to wear the same hats as the men; but only if they chose to do so. I think its time they had a one to one debate on that. Though it’s just one mans opinion or observation. I think the poem was about thinking and trusting yourself and not being manipulated by anything or anyone. I am anti religious. And anti bullying.And all I have is a pen.</p><p align="left"><br><br> </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/69717362023-04-26T12:07:47+10:002023-06-04T09:31:12+10:00The Mining Boom Solomon Islands and Residential Housing <p> </p><p>I remember everyone bragging in the 1990s and the turn of the century on how much money we were all making in Australia from the mining boom. China was our greatest purchaser. Why did they want it? No one really cared why. In the end China probably stockpiled over a 120 years worth of Iron Ore. And all I can remember from the time John Howard came to power in 1996; Tienanmen Square stopped being mentioned. That’s when Australia started the big ideological change to Privatisation and Neoliberalism. Many couldn't or chose not to see it. Gee! I even I voted for John Howard that year. John was quite lucky because the internet/ computing was now coming into play. And many of us were floundering around trying to work it all out. And many like me are still floundering with it now. Around this time many a new start up computer companies were listed on the stock-exchange for the boom and bust in the Dot- Com period. Many a pony-tailed geek were heading up new and old companies and the old guys and their years of experience and wisdom were laid off. And after the Port Arthur massacre John was as popular as “Simon The Likeable” from TVs; “Get Smart”. A cricket tragic that older folk saw as their hipdedo rock star. I am not sure if John was just ignorant, manipulated, or a victim or deceptive. Though through his deep conservatism, his sell out to everything bad about USA capitalism, Thatcher-ism and Royalism ; he was nothing but a betrayal to egalitarian Australians. Basically John was a sucker to Pom and Pageantry and con artist’s from the USA on how we should run our country. And he was man of zero imagination. And in the end a terrible leader. And his ego brought his own party down. I've always been a bottom up person. Who’s more valuable in society someone who’s going to look after you when you are old and demented or some self satisfied empathy deprived CEO. Bottom up is a perfect measure of what sort society we want live in, And when the shit hits the fan who’s there for you? In Australia no one is. I’d rather be living in a village in Kalimantan when you are old and decrepit than Australia. Surely we can pay someone $40 an hour in a Nursing Home to look after the elderly. Since John came to power CEO pays sky rocketed to a crazy level. Though his Piece de resistance policy was turning residential housing into an asset class; like a stock market. Halving Capital Gains Tax. Incorporating Residential housing in Super. Giving Rich kids home loans grants to buy Million Dollar homes. Home loan grants are the worst idea of all. Now large companies are just buying existing blue chip blocks of flats as an investment and for Tax minimisation purposes. And allowing overseas investors to buy up residential property with potentially laundered money. Allowing investors to maximise their rents via Air B and B; which puts so much financial stress on people wanting long term rentals. Degrading Public Housing to such a small levels. And Negative Gearing continues . Then there was Morrison’s Renovation Rescue to the wealthy middle class instead putting money into public housing. John started it and it’s still going on. And the questionable wisdom of The Reserve Bank. They are still pumping this Residential Housing boom/ house of cards along for as long as they can. The residential property market is 50% overvalued. Its an absolute rort and this government has been the architect of this joke. It’s time to shut this corruption down. It’s our own version of Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed is still in power. This governments ideological focus has been it’s masters; ie, The Rich and wealthy middle class status quo. And like all fundamentalist's oligarchs absolute power corrupts absolutely. In the end a roof over your head is a human right. Like the mining boom was all about $ signs in our eyes as to is the housing boom. Homelessness is rampant. China is now going to govern law and order in the Solomon Islands. Blind Ideology got us here in the first place. Make no mistake population growth was all about money and growth of GDP. What's next armaments for war of course we will have buy them from the USA. Because we don’t even make our own water pistols here anymore let alone a car or a tank. We are all drunk on American idealism with Ocker Australia Day’ Renovation Rescue, with a Married at First Sight, Farmer wants a wife twist. Stupid and Greed is what you get if your only focus is the dollar. Though when China does officially take over. I do hope they let us keep The Moomba Festival for old time sake.</p><p> </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/71953102023-04-23T11:43:56+10:002023-04-23T11:45:54+10:00Electronic Harassment and The Tin Foiled Hat<p>Had I read what I am about to write 25 years ago I would believe that I am mad.

Supermarket prices have gone through the roof. Inflation is out of control. I believe the Reserve Bank was servicing only one master for too many years. That was cheap money for residential housing aka; modern mans mining boom. It certainly hasn't followed it’s Charter and Core Functions especially C) <i>“the economic prosperity and welfare of the people of Australia”. </i><span>As many a forced tent dwellers are more likely to be thinking of doing a Waltzing Matilda than singing “I am Australian/We are Australian ” as they close the zip of their tent for the night. Though there is some good news on the psychological front as it appears that Pettiness has come down somewhat on the Richter Scale; though we don't feel this will last for very long. And sadly a good friend of mine reports their Stalking has increased slightly.</span></p><p><br> </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/71671442023-03-08T13:56:32+11:002023-03-08T13:56:32+11:00On The Beach<p>Another beautiful day on the beach today.

The lack of available housing in Australia is a pathetic joke. For the past 26 years the LNP only agenda was to rack up the value of residential housing via their policies by hook or by crook. They know the poor has zero power and that’s why nothing has gone into public housing. Though with that we have sold our soul to the globalisation of residential housing like a stock market asset. It’s all about the money and leverage. Some are buying homes with laundered funds. The previous government did everything in its power to allow this to happen. Imagine doing a full time job and coming home to a tent or a dingy hotel room? Though we will probably get used to it soon. And the Albanese government wants to bring in 200,000 migrants this year to please big business. Shelter. A home, is a human right. Next time some smart arse tells you we live in “the lucky country give then the finger”.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Housing Solutions</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) We can still keep Negative Gearing though stop it after their 1st or maybe? their 2nd Residential investment property. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>2) Reinstate the full Capital Gains Tax or make them wait longer for their 50% discount to 4 years or so.Instead of the very short 12 months.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3) Stop handing out The people’s money for Government Home Loan Grants. Maybe some small amount for people earning $50,000 or under a year. And maybe some Tax incentives.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4) And start taxing short-term holiday rentals like Airbnb much more.This would ease long term rental availability and cost of long term rental prices. Interestingly I have friend called Pommy Mark who said he couldn't wait to pay more tax for his Airbnb property. As he said his new adopted country has been so to good him. And he feels he need’s to give back to society that helped make him wealthy. A truly wonderful human being.</p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/69776202022-05-23T23:54:33+10:002022-05-23T23:58:40+10:00Post Election<p>It’s taken me a couple of days to get over the election result.

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p>It appears uncertain and rusted on LNP /Morrison voters are suffering from a version of Stockholme Syndrome. They have become so mesmerized by the great Houdini’ Rabbit out of the hat Morrrison. He is one of the greatest actors of all time and he is up there with Anthony Hopkins. Though I’d feel much safer if he was up there on the stage and not running the country. Because if this government is given another term I feel we will be headed for a 1930s type depression. The economy is rockier than is being told. The Swaggies defined the early depression and the neo homeless are everywhere; as they are the collateral damage of 26 years of “The John Howard Extreme American Style Capitalism policies”; still playing out now. Fear and divisiveness is their greatest weapon and Scott knows how to work a room like all the great evangelistic thespians. Convincing working class contractors to vote for the LNP because they will pay less tax. And the massive legislated Morrison Tax Cuts for the wealthy will effect the economy going forward and they will likely raise the GST to rescue it; which mainly effects low income workers and the less well-off the most. Tax is a very dirty word for the LNP; though its really code for not governing for everyone. For they hate the poor. We are now living in the haves and have not’s class system. And the privatized trailer parks are coming very soon.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Voting in the Election </p>
<p>Anthony Albanese is not the greatest orator in the world; though I believe he has integrity. And I think he and his team will be a breath of fresh air if they get voted in as he has some capable people behind him. And having intelligent “Independent's”; actually works. As they will keep the bastards fair. Zoe Daniel, would be a lovely fit in the seat of Goldstein.The Labor Party for a long time has acknowledge the issues involving climate change. For too many years the Liberal Party has had to be dragged kicking and screaming to admit it’s an issue. The USA has a Trump. We have the whole LNP. And they could really do with a very long break. And voting for the “United Australia Party” will be an absolute wasted vote. In my humble opinion.</p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/69390002022-04-03T09:05:25+10:002022-04-03T09:19:06+10:00Quote of the week.<p> </p>

So many are doing gigs for nothing. I know many who would appreciate $20 so they could at the very least afford to buy a pie and a milkshake on the way home or put some petrol in their car. Some venues still make musician’s pay for food and they receive zero payment. I won’t go into the politics of why this is the case. Whether we need a union or provide some collective muscle to ensure that some musos get some small payment regardless for just turning up; irrespective of the venues patronage.</p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/64041722020-08-07T16:07:08+10:002020-08-07T16:07:08+10:00Australian TV Commercials<p>About 25 years ago a NSW Parliamentarian complained that TV commercials were too loud. </p>

I have been listening for over 12 years now. Though when I ask many people have you heard of RN? People say Who? What? Who? Then I try to explain that RN is short for Radio National and I can never remember The right word to say that RN is an “Acronym”. And they just glaze their eyes over or we go on to talk about something else. So I would have to conclude changing their name to RN would have to be one of the worst PR exercises in history. Radio National, sure is a contrast to some other propaganda radio station on AM Radio And you don’t have to put up with the commercials either. It’s a pretty informative, educative, balanced and an amazing Radio station; and it's available to everyone if you are looking for something different.

I’m not talking about prying questions I’m talking about philosophical questions or asking someone how something works or doesn't. Or ask them why they think this or that? Some things are absolute and some conversations can go on for years. And then there is the “You Shoulds,” do this or do that. Maybe make a start by stating to yourself “Today I’m going to try to listen more than I speak”.There seems to be a lot of guessing going these days. Conversation seems to be a dying art though if something does come up for you in that conversation; that's where you need to go or explore. It seems our egos are doing all the talking these days.</p>

<p>Advice to younger singers; fortunately or unfortunately you can’t be who you were yesterday. </p>
<p>The body we live in; has other idea’s. Read Louise Hay regarding this concept. </p>
<p>Your right little toe may not want to have anything to do with you for awhile and has gone on strike. </p>
<p>And as you get older the body rules the roost so check- in and see what it’s up to. </p>
<p>Today, you will be dealing with a very different beast so you better come to terms with it. </p>
<p>Let your energy tell the story of a song as its better to build up from an unsure start than </p>
<p> to come out like a presumptional, expectational train wreck. It will fail every time. </p>
<p>So learn to trust your anxiety, fear and the joy and the profound acceptance of who you are today. </p>
<p>Some days you are just in a different zone not “The Zone”. So, unfortunately you just have to let it </p>
<p>have its way with you. So you must learn to trust it and deal with it. </p>Buddy Love Jazz Singertag:buddylovesjazz.com,2005:Post/57079292019-04-05T13:48:46+11:002019-04-05T13:51:10+11:00 Speaking of the Recorder <p>When I was in Primary School I was playing The Recorder in a Recorder band. </p>
