CANNED HEAT  I started commenting on Sandy's blog about what music we listen to, but I've been watching the USA steel itself for the violent and cruel insanity of a Trump Rally in the midst of a pandemic and civil unrest and I'm thinking of the band Canned Heat and their song "Going Up The Country".....Of playing that song on my silver flute accompanied by bongos and acoustic guitar in a field with with dandelions and daisy chains dancing and laughing and I'm reminded of the American youth at the time, protesting the violent and cruel insanity of the Vietnamese war and wondering how they got here once again......And it all seemed too much for the music blog, so here I am....... Back in the day, when I was playing Canned Heat songs, I was helping Young American men who had fled their home and families in the US because they were so strongly opposed to the slaughter and maiming in Vietnam and refused to participate....And last week, one of those sweet, gentle boys, now an old man, was injured by police and accused by the president........of falling harder than he was pushed. Full circle.......A madman reigns in America.....an evil ruler who uses Nazi symbols in his re election ads.....who is so evil that he is manipulating hundreds of thousands of Americans to participate in a mass suicide-murder event for no reason other than his own demented, insatiable hunger for attention and power-mongering........ As I listen to Canned Heat playing their joyful music, my fingers and mouth automatically responding to a silver flute, I see the flower grown old, watching in horror......grieving for their country. |

I blame it on the non-thinkers who support him........It seems to me that a large part of the pride in ignorance of his followers stems from the distortion of the Christian Faith that they have embraced. Faith has in large part replaced critical thinking and intellectual curiosity.....They are convinced that their Faith is sacrosanct and renders them Right and Good.......They have never examined their own psyche.......they just respond to Trump with the same attitude, the same unconscious mechanism they use to justify their illogical belief in their religion......They put Trump under their Faith umbrella........
