… and I’m afraid that’s also a load of spiked protien bars too, it’s only one song this person liked, but liked it enough to make a video to go with it! The song is called “Stargazing” and if you want to shoo the mice out of your home, just play this tune, though it will probably just put them to sleep so you can pick them up by their tails and drop them at the home of your favorite reletive. Who knows, I could be a hero to PITA, the ASPCA and get millions of folks off sleeping pills!

The backstory: It was a chance meeting in a discussion group here on Substack where ordinary folks showcase their poetry, music, photography and write completely normal stories such as how they were victimized in their moment of weakness in their victimology studies class.
But, there is a dark side where I went and mingled wth those marginalized, unfashionable and frowned upon “free-thinkers”. I was only there for research purposes. Really! Deep in the crevices (the lighting is terrible, let me tell you!) is a murky place, the forbidden territory where subversive fifth-columnists type out their wild thoughts, sometimes even say crazy things, such as wanting to be left alone from those wonderful and benevolent folks who are doing their best to create a beautiful gleaming new world order just for you, and me and every blade of grass - especially for those who thoughtlessly questioned what was in those new experimental, completely safe and effective wonder drugs being ever so politely offered to these ignorant and ungrateful folks. Trust The Scientism! Clearly, those who dared question our God-like leaders in The Science® are super dangerous to the herd, I mean civilians. It isn’t like these refuseniks couldn’t travel, or keep their job, or visit their dying loved ones, or go outside… oh wait, forget that part.
Sorry, I got off topic. I was talking about a music video. So this person I got chatting with known to me only as “Rose”, who lives in some far-flung European country, said she was going through the music I write and picked out one she thought was the least traumatizing, I mean most “mesmerizing” and asked if it would be permissible for her to make a video for it. What was I going to do, say “No, let me check with my agent first”? Well, actually I would say “No!” if it was going to be something creepy like a promotional ad from Madonna or a music video by the pharmeceudical-industrial complex. I guess they’re the same thing, but I gave permission anyway as I’m super excited to have a fan, and a fan who makes videos the same way I have made all this music - on a computer!
UPDATE! In case you haven’t rage-quit in utter disgust and went to up your Social Credit Score by notifing Homeland Stupidity, here is a personal request. I recently purchased a Kursweil PC88, this is a fully-weighted 88 key synthesizer!
One thing is for sure, it is a hellova lot smarter than me and I’m having a hellova hard time learning how all this MIDI stuff works. If anyone reading this knows about MIDI (No! No! No! Pervert, not the skirt), I’m talking about the musical instrument interface. If you’re endowed with the Guru-type knowledge of how this magical and mystical system works, lets talk! I have some delicious, sustainably harvested and humanely euthanized yogurt-dipped crickets I can offer as trade, this will also help you reduce those pesky carbon credits you will owe for the rest of your life. That is the best I can do since I now own nothing, but I’m so totally happy! Thank you Klaus, George and Farmer Billy! Not all your trans-humanist evil super-villains wear capes.
Please pass those sumptious carob—covered, organic, free-range honey roasted grasshoppers. Thank you, now let us scurry on down to the great new and totally safe 15-minute super surveilled shining city on the hill. I hear Elon is handing out brain chips and they have free education camps! What a time to be alive. Do you think I’ve I been hanging out there too much? Nah, those DARPA directed energy weapons miss me every time.
