into cmj. college music journal.
it's a big deal?
a big deal in what capacity?
where? new york new york
when oct. 24th when 9:30 pm
where? googies. why? because
music is fun. music fellowship
for human thinkers.
cmj to me feels like
sxsw in a lot of ways. only
established bands w/ incredible
luck seem to get accepted. we
just booked a show and were
ushered in pretty quickly.
excitement. ellen cherry is joinging
us for her own set. marshall... my
good friend from college, my
intellectual college friend,whom
works in a museum and recently
opened a show on george tooker,
be there. he enjoys fresh food and
good beer/wine. he is compact and
worth the worth.
in the mean time
we will be playing at the
dewey beach americana festival.
yes... delaware... home to biden.
no sales tax. i will buy something
i'd normally buy in maryland
just to stick it to the 6% md sales tax.
which gets me thinking
if taxes are meant to become
public money that is used
for improvements in education,
streets, social services, and the like
why is it such an awful thing? we volunteer
to live in amrerica... ya could
leave if you really wanted to. i'm
just typing out loud here. of course
some folks who don't have children
question why they should pay taxes
that will be used for education? the
nearest answer for why is that those
kids will become the caretakers... and
frankly i'd like them to be literate
critical thinkers that can problem
solve, right? right?
whatev.
I'm a bit bored with the blog
this morning... so i'll split...
here's to you, maryland.

Taxes are bad not becasue of what they are to be used for, but the means of how a good deed gets done. vis a vis: idiot government bureaucrats who do what it takes to keep themselves bankrolled.
When Peter Angelos won the class action lawsuit against tobacco companies, the state of maryland thought it was wrong for him to keep all of the 7% commission of the award (of like $1 billion)
They thought that the money should go to them to set up a program to help smokers. Peter Angelos said he instigated and won the lawsuit not the state of maryland, and he should be the one to set up the program, not the state of maryland because idiot bureaucrats wouldn't do the best job.
I wonder if Angelos ever did set up a program? I know he did get to keep the money.
