High on a hillside, the trucks are loading,
Everything’s ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime,
I might not ever get home

“By 2050, earlier, probably - all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron - they’ll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually changed into something contradictory of what they used to be. Even the literature of the Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could you have a slogan like ‘freedom is slavery’ when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”
George Orwell, “1984”

RE: Tears of Rage. Just listened to “Music from Big Pink” in its entirety and even got a strong thumbs up from my “boy” who turned 25 on 7/2. We think alike when it comes to some music but totally agree this is in that ultra-rare top ten dessert island disk collection.

“Now what’s that sound from under the door?
He’s pounding nails into a
Hardwood floor… and I
Swear to god I heard someone
Moaning low… and I keep
Seeing the blue light of a
T.V. show…
He has a router
And a table saw… and you
Won’t believe what Mr. Sticha saw”

Just remember when you are standing in line at Walmart that everyone in front of you represents the average person. 50% of the population is less than average.

I avoid felling average, so I avoid Walmart. Problem solved.
