Rewind/s
>>> David and Julie bring the call. The calling upon us? Astounding wisdom on judgment, on to facts, facts, and more... 21st Century Eu*genics. Stopped at, "spent, 191 billion dollars...", (by, whom, guess-you-what?) <<<
Me: Go above the man with the mic. White shirt, looking to the left. A staged/all-come-together photo. Not, trendy. 'Bronx meets Downtown', part two. Ritzy, NY. NY. 1982.

“The applicant describes himself as a “journalist in new media”. Whatever that may involve, it is relevant to distinguish his position from that of the mainstream press, which is regulated, and subject to codes of practice and ethics in a way in which those writing as the applicant does are not. To the extent that the submissions for the applicant make comparisons with other press contempts, and the role of mainstream journalists, this is a factor which should be recognised”.

Truthscoop /SUNDAY SCHOOL White Man in Hammersmith Palais, June 13, 2020
Number one, Morrissey song, Everday Is Like Sunday.
Proceeded a comment at the family lunch reunion with, whether you agree with his views or not, and, "...not a fan" of The Smiths. Have danced about to him/them. Some girls, like-a-lot. Came to say that I'd got into a couple of his recent numbers.
Silent response/ Move on.
A few days later. Seventeen-year-olds in the park, who haven't a clue, and any fussing. One had 'Morrissey' screenprinted on her bag. Bright-coloured hair and a Nirvana T.Shirt, the gal offered the same silence.
Older, 50s, hip, but so "Right-Wing" and race-sensitive to despise the Moss.
1982
Give him his due: Not keen to play/put up Days Of Decision, even bigger, punch and re-appropriated in the 2020s than Phil Ochs, fifty-some, years ago.
Read Death of A Rebel in 1982.
/Martyn Joseph – Days Of Decision: A Tribute To Phil Ochs
After several listens to Days of Decision and also reading the sleeve notes written by Sonny Ochs (Phil’s sister) I was interested to know more of Phil Ochs. Of course, it’s easy to do research online these days but like a music lover prefers vinyl to an MP3 file, an avid reader will take a book over a computer screen every time. ‘Death of a Rebel’ by Marc Eliot, I quickly discovered is the definitive account of the life and times of Phil Ochs. A few days later, the postman handed me a copy of the book in question, which the seller had described as being in ‘acceptable condition’. I can confirm that Death of A Rebel is not only acceptable, it is fascinating; it’s a crazy ride with a tragic ending which I won’t spoil for you.
Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Martyn Joseph and Murder Most Foul, Mike Davies, Down By The River, January 7, 2020
I will. He kills himself. Recent, (not-naming), commentator, un-packing the CIA' 60s; Phil is seen as tragic but somehow complicit in swallowing ideologies and practices, Rockefeller Foundation, prescribed?
Fell for..., in our retro. read on the string-pullers and off-radar State sponsorship. Peace and Love 60s culture cancelled, the family, the root cause, of the troubles we're in, and the branches we're on. Difficult in music-loving...
A look at root-causes and the '60s conspiracy on pop' and the... Canyon?
Looking back, it was 1985. Natter in a cafe, a large concrete block, jutting out over Aylesbury Market (pic. below). With theatre and screenplays (see below), m'mate, Bob (Farquhar).
Miss-remembering, and (had), '...missed, the Smiths'. Must have been a current rave about.
