SHAFIA FAMILY: Found "GUILTY" in 'HONOUR KILLING'S' of Daughter's & Servant Wife ... (HUMAN MORALITY PT.3) & (KILLER PARENT'S PT.9)

This is another posting that will serve both the "Killer Parent's" and the "Human Morality" series for this journal, a case that was big news in Canada as well. These 3 convicted still claim to be innocent of murdering these kid's and even a live in wife/ servant, who lived as well with the family, and married to Mr. Mohammad Shafia as well, along with his wife Tooba Yahya.

The evidence used in this case that stuck hard with juror's, was the post statement's after the 4 died in a drowning accident ... some from wired phone statement's from Mr. Shafia that his daughter's dishonoured the family, which included thing's like acting like western kid's, wearing jean's, admiring western style boys, failing grade's, etc, ... the usual talk you hear from these type's based on religion/ morality and familia value's. Recorded statement's from Mr. Shafia, that his daughter's should have to go through this death 100X time's and that the "Devil" should shit on their corpses, because they are worthless whore's ... yes ... this include's his 13 year old child. According to the personal diary of his victim first wife turned servant, had wrote that he also enjoy's beating and degrading his women/ wives as well ... the poor 13 year old girl was trying to get out of the family and be put up for adoption to escape her violent familia clearly orchestrated by her father too.

Some call this type "life" sentence too harsh, I dont know what 25 year's before parole mean's in Canada ... here in Texas for instance it mean's you do 8/9 year's (Texas give's 3 dayz for everyday served for instance) ... and I hardly call the Canadian sentence even a "life sentence" ... but that's just my opinion ... if this would have happened in Texas for instance, the sentence for this type of crime would have been more solid let's say, and Mr. Shafia would almost certainly be given the dealth penalty, or at least a sentence that guarantee's that he would actually spend "life", and under harsher, rougher incarceration condition's. I myself buy the evidence until I see other ... and I dont think this type sentence is harsh enough. And Yes, I blame this mostly on the father here, because he dominate's and dictate's the household.

***** NOTE: The sentencing hearing/ phase hasnt been done yet, this was only the juror's guilty verdict, I'm basing my statement's here of the sentencing phase, on what has been discussed and proposed by both defense and prosecution in this case.

Jerry Reed



This induction into the "RCJ MUSIC/ ART'S HONOUR ROLL SOCIETY" is another past due, to honour the legend and unique self styled guitarist "Mr. Jerry Reed" . I used his song "She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)" the other day for a posting , which reminded me right there of how this man is way past due for this journal. But not for his acting or casual humour in his music, but to take a look at this man's unique guitar work. He is a fella who has created his own unconventional picking and tuning, etc ... for me in this category of his style, rhythm, and picking, he and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin have alot in common, and I absolutely love them both ... it was a fantasy of mine to mix the 2 artist's for a picking duet composition.

But below I wanted to post a mix that showcases some of his outstanding guitar worx, and his distinctive trademark of vocal work as well. He has been as well such an inspiration to so many guitarist's over the year's ... and Thank You Jerry for it all ... Love ya Guy! Enjoy!

TAX THE RICH!! ... & Live HAPPILY Ever After ... Collapsing, Reforming, & Re- Creating an outdated 20th Century System

I have touched on this in various past posting's, but I want to just compile some thought and fact here in this one post, since the new meaningless buzz phrase is "Tax the Rich!" ... it has gotten so popular that even rich folk's are saying to please tax them more, every politician on the left and right out of political desperation and political correctness is chanting it, most in the Occupy Movement, Teabag folk's, etc. But what really caught my atencion to inspire this posting, was listening to the President's recent "State of the Union" address the other day, where our President was almost forced to hammer the Hell out of this, while both Democrat's and Republican's in the House, cheered, smiled, applauded, and stood up and sat down more than at a Catholic Church Mass, many of those same people who dont want to actually see some of those same proposal's by this truely bipartisan President materialize, and pretending to support President Obama. And just hour's later, the media's were sopping this all up like gravy with bread as usual, and dissecting everything word for word of what the President said, which was mainly accurate ... I mean ... I couldnt help to laugh at all this! : )

I chose this video of many that I seen, that just came in, where Mr. Adam Davidson make's some simple math point's that are clear and right on, and a couple article's linked below that I wanted to use to take a balanced look at this as well. Again, we have turned this as usual into a left/ right, have's/ have not's issue, so you must try to set that to the side for a moment and look at thing's just for what they are and rational ... we have worked again, ourselves into a frenzy over nonsense basically.




***** CNN: 'Taxing rich not enough for deficit' ... (newsvideo)




HUFFPOST/ BUSINESS: Taxing the Rich Will Not Solve the Problem




THE NEW YORK TIMES/ MAGAZINE: It's Not Just About the Millionaires




No doubt that the wealthy and those more well off can pay a more fair amount in tax, even they themselves in most cases admit it. But this isnt the big issue here, or a one size fit's all solution, and all of those at the President's address the other night know this. This is why I have constantly hammered the idea of collapsing the system throughout this journal, and the sooner the better ... and someone is going to have to sooner or later anywayz ... period. You know you cant just let everything go unregulated as is forever with Wall St, or even the half dozen or so international bank's that control/ move/ house the majority of wealth and asset's, they even know this themselves, that's why all these sudden get- together's amongst them ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... they fear themselves more than us! : ) Basically, they know without reform, they will destroy themselves, just like a junky or crack cocaine addict would, if you leave them in a room with a pound of crack or heroin and tell them to "please use responsibly" ... you will come back a week later and find corpses, and that uniquely sweet, yet foul stench ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh : )

As far as how hard we are having it in America, with this gap between the have and have- not's ... believe me ... we aint seen nothing yet, and this is why I been hammering this also throughout this journal. For example here ... look at a Democracy such as India (since it is so huge in population, about 4X times that of our's), and look at the gap between the wealth and poverty in that country ... it make's our nation look like kiddie play, from poverty to healthcare to corruption, and everything in between. Again ... these hard time's are a blessing in disguise, it has awoken us to look at thing's that we have ignored for far too long, and even gave birth to the new movement's such as the "Occupy" movement and those affiliate's who will expand and grow ... in time, which are 'watchdog' and 'protector' group's, which in turn over time will help change the face and system of politic's through pressure. This was all needed and has arrived a lil sooner than I expected actually ... and thank goodness! : ) Cause we have been slacking and sleeping, and been all expecting to have our cake and eat it, thinking we will have this miraculously quick turn around of the growing condition ... we have fell to temptation and this is the cost when you dont maintain balance and let one or another extreme take you over, without thinking straight ... and we American's are guilty as Hitler ourselves. We have bought into this, we failed to excercise our right's and will, and to utilize all the tool's that we have available, most of us dont even bloody vote for that matter. The rich didnt twist our arm ... they just went with what we gave them and let them do.

The thought of penalizing wealth is nice, but everything also has a flip- side to it as well. The system we are working with is a late 20th century system that worked well for the time's, but has outplayed itself simply ... it's over, period. Technologies bringing thing's like speed trading, and transfer of fund's all over the globe in the blink of an eye, with hardly any oversight, still playing by the old rule's cannot work. This is why I focus so much on not only the collapse, but especially reforming and re- creating a system that is for the 21st century, and you cannot achieve this without hard move's and misery of some sort, we just stood still at the red light and didnt pay atencion to the green light change is all, like so many of us do in traffic with our lil handheld device's waiting for each other's "Tweet's" and playing game's, not paying a damn bit of atencion of what is happening around us. I alwayz had a saying that I never met a dumb "Indian" (from India) ... Why? ... because all those I met here, were sharp, utilized everything they can, and sharp hustler's who dont miss a beat ... their condition's back home is what made them that way. The same way that all the street's and reformatories and similar experience's as a kid molded my tolerance and discipline, if that make's any sense.

I am one that actually like's rewarding those who invest, and giving tax incentive's to do so, and love open world trade even, but balanced in a way that work's instead. I sure as Hell dont want to stop folk's from being able to obtain wealth or burn wealthy folk's at the stake, nor do I want them to take their money and rathole it all offshore ... I want to give them a reason to play and stay if I can ... that's just good business. Understand that our political representation here now and across the democracy nation's of the globe, lack integrity and leadership qualities, are weak, morally deficient, which in turn make capitalism no longer true capitalism, and an economic enviroment that is not only unbalanced, but unstable. And just saying that we can tax the shit out of rich folk's and all live happily ever after, is about as extreme and nonsensical as enviromentally thinking we can just shut down the world, move everyone in mud hut's, all ride bicycle's and we will reverse the change and damage we already done ... both are taking thing's to the extreme in last minute desperation.

Our biggest obstacle and problemo is not the President or even the wealthy ... it is all the in- between's ... being the Senate and Congress and all the speculator and hedge investor's and how they all are allowed to operate with these old school rule's. And NOT changing THIS will be the issue of concern, because as long as we stay in this mindset thinking that just taxing the rich or ousting the President will bring us success, we will stay in more misery. For one, we need alot of new representation, we need alot of regulatory reform, and most importantly with cooperation from the global banking and major market's, we need to stop letting icon's get too big to fail, which is even in the best interest's of the corporate and international investment banking sector's ... because when they do, they bring down the whole house of card's, we need even more importantly to stop all this lobby pay- off's in Washington too, letting corporation's solely dictate ... because until we change some of these thing's ... they will continue to act in a reckless manner ... it's their nature, same as a person who repeatedly score's (hold- up/ armed robbery) on the same liquor store or business over and over, because they got away with it and now feel comfortable, or the serial killer who uses the same MO over and over ... we are animal's of habit, and that contribute's to weakness and failure.

Thing's like Social Security and Medicare are not even any problemo, and this constant attack on such is just a cover to try to privatize everything so these same gambler's/ hustler's can play that at the table's as well (and NO ... making money like this does NOT make you 'elite', anymore than winning several million in a lottery can make anyone 'elite') these needed social programme's shouldnt be touched and have stable money in it for year's as Senator Sanders of Vermont constantly hammer's. A huge chunk can be saved in defense and diverted to other investment's of interest and fortune domestically, far more beneficial economically than the constant overpaid contract's that we currently dish out, WITHOUT having to sacrifice ANY expenses for our veteran's for instance ... and they ALL in Washington know this, they want to just cut anything that doesnt affect their revenue's and personal lobbied interest's, earmark's, pet project's, etc, etc.

RT AMERICA ... Thank You! ... A Look at NON- Mainstream, Mainstream Journalism/ Media and Democracy at it's Best!

This posting will be a Thank You posting and look at a non- mainstream, mainstream news media that is a treat in these time's. I enjoy all the mainsteam media's as well, they put together some great programming/ show's, and I like to get all the news, so I listen to news whether it's left, right, or independent (I myself am not left/ right). Most of the mainstream media's whether large or small, are kind of predictable, and you have to understand why ... being because of money, rating's, following's, and the pressure's of political correctness. You have folk's on both of the polarizing side's for example, that are not even what they preach to be, whether it's liberal or conservative, both claiming to be good of course, and their opposition to be evil. And of course anyone like RT America is quickly labeled as a joke by many on the pop- culture left, and commie's or anti- American by those on the pop- culture right ... yet both side's also look at everyone out of the mainstream box/ circle's as "extremist's" ... I mean ... these dayz, a church going grandmother can be considered extreme, just because she may carry a gun in her purse for protection/ self defense ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... or more popularly a "Nazi" or "bigot", etc : )

I only call it "mainstream" because for me anything in public, and a network as large as YouTube or any other widely accessible media is "mainstream", to me only ... although I understand what folk's mean as "mainstream", so that's just how I define it. I myself am mainstream in my opinion, for having a journal on the internet where anyone can access it, and I cover many mainstream issue's as well ... so you get my drift on how I define/ view such term's.

But despite all the opposition talk about what "RTAMERICA" is, or how anti American it is ... it is truely a slice of what American Democracy and free thought/ speech is all about ... and for me as truely American as apple pie and baseball as far as journalism. I only hope to see it continue and expand and hold solid to it's value's, principle's, and continue it's discipline and dedication, because there is no doubt that some entity will try to buy it out or contaminate or destroy it in these time's and how thing's are done. Thank You RTAMERICA (and affiliate's) for all the exceptional and minimal biased coverage of the issue's!

GAY/ LESBIAN/ HETEROSEXUAL PARENTING: "Family Values & Children" vs. "Valuing Family & Children" (HUMAN MORALITY PT.2)

For Part 2 of this journal's "Human Morality" series ... I wanted to post this recent research below in the HuffPost link on the issue of gay/ lesbian parenting ... which has everything to do with human morality actually, because of the sharp divide especially in our nation over this issue. And part of what inspire's this, is a recent statement from GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum and his statement where he said something like having a parent in prison is better than having a gay parent. In time's like now, being a parent especially, is a Hell of a thing to say, and running for the office of President in 21st century America is even worse, and we even have media's and representation that support and showcase these people, passing them off as people of value to our nation?

What really get's me about these arguement's on this, is all the talk in our nation of how we are thinking of the kid's, so bold and proud of our family values, yet seem to neglect our children more than ever, and dont even value the family. We have unwanted children in foster and state care across the nation, we pump them full of drug's in many cases, saying that they have emotional and social problem's ... it's no wonder they have emotional and social problem's with what we put many through. Then the kid's that do have decent families and place's to live and are wanted ... we rip them off on education and drive them into debt ... and basically using them as sort of a commodity.

I'm a parent and grandparent, so I know a tad about parenting ... I have touched before in previous posting's how even thing's like same sex marriage, expand, enhance, and support the institution of marriage ... and like so .... same sex parenting is just as much of a value to our children, instead of our petty cult hang- up's, political trash support, and pop- culture hypocrisy. We have a habit of denying those who want to be contributing parent's and citizen's the right's to do what is needed, to nurture and protect our children and maintain our love of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

CLAUDIA BENSON MURDER TRIAL ARRAIGNMENT ... Victims Family Left DEFENSELESS in Downtown Detroit (SELF DEFENSE PT.5)

Claudia Benson




For Part 5 here of the "Self Defense" series for this journal, I chose this recent Detroit murder trial arraignment violence outbreak toward's the familia of the murder victim. Some newsread and video below, then I will add some to this.




***** MLive.com: Detroit man charged with murdering college student outside of Blackberry Bar and Grill ... (newsread of the man charged in robbery and murder of Claudia Benson)




Grief, anger and violence collide outside a Detroit courtroom ... Thanx to AskTherapistFran






RCJ: "SELF DEFENSE" PART'S 4 THRU 1




First of all, my heart goes out to the mother and familia of the victim here, Ms. Claudia Benson. The suspect who was arraigned, 35 year old Mr. Jacob Wells is innocent until "proven" guilty ... but my opinion here hasnt a thing to do with Mr. Wells arraignment or pre- trial hearing's ... but what the murder victim's familia had to face at the hearing, and the protection they received (NONE). This is clearly a case of justified self defense, is the point I want to make here. Also, whatever town/ jurisdiction you live in, it's good to be at least somewhat on the up and up on law's and right's. I speaking here as I know my right's by law in Texas. I am fortunate to live in a state where I know that I can legally protect myself and familia. But even if I were in a state that didnt allow it, I would anyway, that's just me.

In the video, the opinions as far as sympathy, empathy, or whatever for the victim's familia is a nice thought ... but not reality ... as well as the talk about letting the justice system/ law enforcement and God handle it ... again ... "nice" ... but the fact is, that God nor the Justice system or law enforcement showed any sympathy or even tried to protect the victim's familia here, if it wasnt for the citizen's intervening and holding back the woman with the tripod turned deadly weapon, Mrs. Benson (victim's mother) could have been killed or seriously injured herself. Not even the security who was most likely county deputies, if it's a county court, came to assist, saying it wasnt their job outside the building ... or some related rulebook, union, or I dont give a shit attitude response.

Now for some straight facts real quick ... First, the minute that the woman (suspect familia) took and destroyed the tripod, that was a criminal offense, misdemeanor category at that point, but still "criminal" ... even if the media who owned the tripod refused to press charges ... the state/ county has the law to pick up the charges since it was in public and/ or on the county/ city/ state property. Secondly ... when the woman tore off parts of the tripod, it was clearly and evidently used to make a weapon, this type of weapon being metallic and sharp, also falls into a weapon of a deadly category with clear evidence of "intent". 3rd here ... when attempting to approach Mrs. Benson (victim's mother) she said that her intention's was to "kill" her with many witnesses and video, only again being held back by bystanders who intervened ... the 2nd and 3rd point here, also being low degree "felony" charges. Mrs. Benson in this case has every right to defend herself from this deadly threat with a deadly weapon, by whatever means necessary.

The CNN journalist above who talks about the protection given at the Michael Jackson trial for instance, is the reality we have ... being that high profile folks with alot of money are clearly the only ones as a majority who get protection in this nation today. Their neighborhood's are the most protected, their entertainment and work/ occupational areas, are more protected than the average citizen ... therefore in these times, self defense is needed more now than before, and especially due to the forced austerity, oppression by those who govern and dictate, way above average unemployment in especially a town like Detroit, etc.

The most disturbing part to this for me, wasnt the suspect's supporters/ familia violence and lack of sympathy as CNN guests put it ... but the fact that the courthouse security didnt intervene ... and on top of that ... Detroit Police didnt even come into it. For instance ... if this was a case of some "Occupy" protestor's in Detroit's financial district ... Detroit Police would have been all over it like a cheap suit ... just because of who gets favoured in this country for protection, and even if Occupy protestors didnt have any weapons and no intent of violence, they would be met with police brutality in many cases. As a result of this lack of protection ... now the victims mother and familia will have to live with the fact that she was threatened to be killed, and no one on the side of law enforcement was there to protect her, or at least to deal with the woman threatening the violence and death against her and her familia members.

Mrs. Benson and her familia should take this as a death threat and serious and not just some heated moment of anger ranting, and do everything they can by whatever means to protect their lives, not worrying about a justice system of laws that wont even respect them until they are dead, before they address it.


Word Out ....

ETTA JAMES: "I Just Wanna Make Love To You", "Tell Mama" & "At Last"

This induction into the "RCJ MUSIC/ ART'S HONOUR ROLL SOCIETY" will be to honour the vocalist icon "Etta James", who recently passed away, which inspire's this sudden posting ... because she was bound to be in this journal's honour roll society anywayz. As far as her background ... I'll let the Wikipedia and news handle most of that.

I cant even categorize or put in a certain genre of music when it come's to her vocal's, but she is well known in the area of jazz/ R&B ... what isnt heard much though, is how much she was also a cornerstone of todayz rock music as well, she played on alot of bill's, with alot of legend's themselves, she really been around the block. But her voice has a wide range to it, and for me had a sensual touch to it as well, that could make me melt, with a style that is in it's own category ... she was as smooth as silk, or she could belt out the most upbeat edged tune's, she can cover alot, and really knew how to "throw" her range. Her personality is for real too, she know's life from every angle, she is sharp and street smart as well ... having lived the life to it's fullest ... which is heard in her vocal's clearly. Then of course making the Grammy's, "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame", etc. Thank You Much Etta!

U.S. SUPREME COURT Give's Texas GOP the Goldmine & Texans the Shaft ... (U.S. SUPREME COURT FISTING PT.4)

Back in 2009/ 2010 when I was writing about the crap we would see bumrushed on us if we let the GOP even get anymore power, such as in the "2010 Show" series, concerning their desperation and how fast they would start to move ... I even feel now over the last year that I underestimated even that ... imagine that! Cause they been hammering everything between the U.S. Supreme Court and every legislative avenue they can ... recently trying to screw the vote in America and even making it harder for folk's to vote, and the rest of the current mess. The GOP of all folk's complaining about America being divided, are more and more trying to even divide the state's more, in everything that they propose. In my opinion, the national vote need's a complete overall and have equal right's, accessibility, and conformity across the nation, period! Not this crap where a few state's decided recently to try to start make folk's register for special ID's just to vote, etc. (at the last minute at that!) Of course the official technical blame to this goes to Texas Democrat's for not using proper proceedure, making the unanimous U.S. Supeme Court ruling "fair".

When this crap happened below ... I couldnt help to think of country legend Jerry Reed and his song "She Got The Goldmine (I got The Shaft)" : ) ... Now I dont know as much about this as more informed political writer's/ blogger's ... but any avenue I look at it from so far, it look's like a snowjob. It is almost impossible to redraw a map by February 1st at that!, but worth the try at least, although I feel it wont be what many Texas voter's, especially Latino voter's expected to be fair. With the 4+ million population jump, the new seat's we are to get look like the fairness the GOP want's to give out would be 75% for them, and 25% for the Democrat's. I could be wrong ... maybe the U.S. Supreme Court here is all just about fairness ... but this is a Hell of a time (early 2012) to have to get dealt this hand.

REFORM & CHANGE IN WASHINGTON ... Some Morning Breakfast for THOUGHT (PT.1) ... : )

***** I have touched on this here and there in other posting's, but let me make it simple here in one post by itself and short below *****




Not ALL, but a significant portion of our Representation in Washington "truly" dont want much "Change" or "Reform" ... Why? Because it IS NOT human nature. I mean ... There is no incentive ... they have to be "forced" by the people ... just call it something like "laying down the law ...". Think about it a moment ... If you had a paycheck of say a couple hundred thousand dollars a year, the best health insurance money can buy (tax money at that), great retirement benefits, free luncheons/ dinners at fine eateries (tax write- off expense), a month or two off for major Holidayz such as Christmas/ New Years, luxury car rental reimbursements, recreation and health workout facilities, and additional financial support in the 100's of thousands to a million+ dollars or so annually, no term limit, you write and pass all the laws, cocked and locked for life, etc, etc ... Why would you possibly want much of anything to "change"? Why would you even want "reform"? Why would you want to get out of gridlock, or a 2- party system, especially when it stalls everything and guarantees you an opponent next election that you can blame everything on?

PHARMAGEDDON: "The Pharmaceutical CARTEL & The Greed SPEED Creed" ... "Say GO to Drug's" Edition (PHARMACEUTICAL CASH COWS PT.2)

"Pharmaceutical Cash Cow's" Part 2, will be to look at what should be a major concern with even our pre- paid politician's, as well as every American, instead of going with the flow and just accepting every up and down in life as a disorder, because frankly the only thing in disorder is our goddamn laziness, self pity and way of thinking. Most of us in urban America probably know someone or have kin/ relative's who is diagnosed and medicated because they dont fit into some pop culture way of acting and conforming to the welcomed hypocrisy of pop society. Parent's too busy and stressed out to "parent", and many not paying atencion because of all the distraction of what their doing or why?

I want to be as fair as possible here because of the arguement's of both side's, but you also have to point out fact's regardless of what arguement say's what. The idea that all this is about saving the children and helping them strictly, I cant even buy any of that ... especially knowing of the billion's that is in this industry, the lobby for it, marketing, law's legislated by those icon's to enable them to be favoured for this, etc. This reckless quick cash grab and extreme greed that has taken over this nation will eventually destroy itself, there is no reason for us to "tag along" with them.

When it come's to some of the pitfall's of drug abuse, I know it too well, with illegal drug addiction being a part of my past ... my addiction's of choice were in the area of cocaine and opiate's ... however, the only time I actually overdosed and almost died was from actually a legal pharma presciption drug I got through the black market called "Quaalude/ Rohrer714" ... up in Atlanta one night playing music at a club in the "Underground Atlanta" district, after a short set, walked off and overdosed in front of a crowd who were there, paramedic's from what I gathered were there quick and rushed me to Grady Memorial Hospital in Central Atlanta. The folk's that were there to enjoy the music are responsible along with those paramedic's, were who saved my life. I cant remember anything else about it, after my head started to swirl and I went out ... waking up with a sore stomach later in the hospital.

A friend DeeAnn, after a lengthy nasty divorce was told by a doctor she seen of her depression, she had a busy life to keep up with having also a small business (beauty/ tanning salon) and the rest of what her former husband put her through. She was prescribed Prozac, which also led her to using too much alcohol and constant pot smoking, which was a bad combination, but all in all done her more harm than good to make it short. 2 other friend's Mike and Randy (both musician's) who became addicted hardcore to Oxycodone, Mike died from an overdose. Another friend Minerva, started on Oxycodone, and soon became addicted to black tar heroin as an upgrade, and started dealing in the drug business after, which led to a 10 year prison term, etc ... I could even tell quite a bit more.

These pharma drug's of popularity such as Adderall are an experimental mixture of amphethamine's ... basically speed/ meth. You cant tell someone like myself that there is not any issue or problem or addiction with these, it's impossible to not have any ill outcome year's down the line, prescribing these to kid's especially for just simply acting like kid's in many cases. Even as far as back in the 1970's early where Preluden- BI62 addiction ran rampant as a result, even to the point of addict's cooking off the coating on the tab's, to cook the pure speed inside to run up the drug intrevenously. My daughter not long back was telling me of even the pressure and prescribing that ran heavy in the Dallas area University she attended of Adderall amongst the student's, the need's/ addiction as well as the high demand, and the shortage's, which I also feel some of these so called "shortage's" are influenced by those who run the market's, which basically is no different than "price fixing" and manipulation.

One of the saddest part's to this, even sadder than the pushing of these drug's on adult's is also these ridiculous diagnosis's galore that we have today, then getting to the point of pushing this on million's of American children, while out of the other side of their mouth's from the same tongue, ranting about the pitfall's of meth use and how it's such a big problemo in our nation. Say NO to drug's? ... why are ya'll saying "GO" to this?

Especially with the hypocrisy rubbish (which is 2nd nature) to "Say NO" to drug's.

BRODY DALLE (PT.1)/ THE DISTILLERS: ... "Drain The Blood", "Young Crazed Peeling", & "Warriors"

The Distillers Live @ Temse, Belgium 12 August 2001



This induction into the "RCJ MUSIC/ ART'S HONOUR ROLL SOCIETY" will be to honour and look at some of the work of a music Goddess ... Brody Dalle. Brody is currently more known for her work with "Spinnerette" , but I want to focus this particular posting for her, on her work with "The Distillers" ... this woman is just an all around bundle of raw talent at it's best ... it doesnt matter if it's in the area of her pounding powerful vocal ability and stage persona, her outstanding guitar work in this genre, or her songwriting/ composition work (also a keyboardist) ... she is at the top, and one ass busting artist! On top of that, a mother of two and just had a birthday on New Years Day!

She is also very versatile on her art as well ... but understandable, with the range of influence's as a kid from the Beatles to Hole, to Cyndi Lauper, to Black Flag, to name a few. The punk sound work done with The Distillers bring's an added touch and expansion to contemporary Punk as well, and a fresh dimension nightcrawling into the 21st century genre, and what a blend with a touch of nostaglia and class this crew is! She is of course one of my favourite's and even with her more recent work with "Spinnerette" ... which expand's her talent's in other direction's. Also (according to an interview with Brody I read), Brody wanted to move in other direction's musically, and got a lil burned on the strickly punk, but was having vocal issue's after her mid 20's because of the vocal strain/ demand, and a few other factor's in that, that come from alot of work, lifestyle habit's, change's, hour's, etc. But this posting will focus on 3 cut's in particular that came from Brody and The Distillers, that are really some great work, and a few of my favourite's ... she is also one of my favourite vocalist's too! Love ya Brody ... and Thanx for all you've contributed! ... Enjoy!
