Record label drops Texas band

Dream Machine is based in Austin. In an interview with a French webzine, band founders Matthew and Doris Melton hurt some feelings with their not-nice comments on immigration and feminism.

Castle Face dropped the band.

Said the record label: “Castle Face does not agree with the statements on ICE, immigration, feminism, and sexual assault and they are in no way representative of Castle Face or the other artists on the label.”

Okay. Band members have the right to say what they think, and the record label has the right to get all sissy-faced and fire the band. A business runs on PR almost as much as on talent, sometimes more.

And, the company has let other bands know, “You say stuff we don’t agree with, you’re gone, too.”

Here is a Dream Machine song:

Comments support the band, with questions “How can I get your stuff and not pay the record company one cent?”

I am not a conspiracist, but …

“Klaus Eberwein, a former Haitian government official who was expected to expose the extent of Clinton Foundation corruption and malpractice next week, has been found dead in Miami. He was 50.

“Eberwein was due to appear next Tuesday before the Haitian Senate Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission where he was widely expected to testify that the Clinton Foundation misappropriated Haiti earthquake donations from international donors.

“According to Miami-Dade’s medical examiner records supervisor, the official cause of death is 'gunshot to the head.'Eberwein’s death has been registered as 'suicide.'

“Eberwein, who had acknowledged his life was in danger, was a fierce critic of the Clinton Foundation’s activities in the Caribbean island, where he served as director general of the government’s economic development agency, Fonds d’assistance économique et social, for three years.”

…

“’The Clinton Foundation, they are criminals, they are thieves, they are liars, they are a disgrace,’ Eberwein said at a protest outside the Clinton Foundation headquarters in Manhattan last year.”

The world’s oldest virus makes a comeback

“Antisemitism is not a sign, a symbol, a bullet or a gas. It is a Virus. It is the oldest known virus to infest the human soul. In those infected, the virus is clever enough to mask its existence by renaming itself as ‘anti-Zionism.’ Through the renaming of this ancient disease as a ‘political problem,’ infected souls can transmit the virus to their friends, families. They can spread their disease at their schools and in their community, church, or nation. The virus is also transmitted by exchanging infected fantasies with infected ideologues. By changing its name the disease made it possible for many to deny that they have contracted the virus, and that their souls are chancre-ridden and rotting. This facilitates the current outbreak.”

Workers find large, old Madeira collection

“Workers renovating Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University in Union, New Jersey, discovered a rare collection of Madeira wines, some dating back to Colonial times. Museum staff knew the Kean family had wine storage shelves in the cellar, but they were obscured by a plaster and plywood wall built during Prohibition. When workers broke through the wall and the locked wooden cage behind it, they found a collection of 18th and 19th century wines far larger than they realized. There are three cases containing more than 50 bottles of Madeira, the oldest of which date to 1796. The attic held an unexpected wine cache as well, not in bottles but in 42 demijohns dating to the 1820s. It’s the oldest and largest known collection of Madeira in the United States.”

Otzi agrees with me

The Paleolithic Diet says our hunter/gatherer ancestors did not eat grains or nuts. My contention has always been my ancestors ate anything that didn’t eat them first.

Otzi the iceman backs me.

Otzi was killed around 5,300 years ago in the Alps. His body has been studied and photographed and CT-scanned since found in 1991. Scientists say his last meal was: deer meat, herb bread, wheat bran, roots and fruit.

Don't mess with Texas women

A couple of days ago, the wife of a friend back in Texas put her groceries in her car and then got in. She was about to start the car when a young man tapped on her window. She said his mouth was moving, but she couldn’t understand him. She rolled down the window and said, “I didn’t understand what you said.” The young man said, “I said give me your purse, bitch.” The friend’s wife reached into the door pocket and brought out her pistol, which she then positioned near the young man’s nose. She said, “You best get your punk white a$$ away from me before I blow your head off.” She said the young man stood stock still for a couple of seconds – Long enough for her to see he was peeing in his jeans. And then he was gone, in his car and leaving rubber in about two and a half seconds. The message, she said, is: Don’t mess with older Texas women. They will blow you away.

Kit Carson's last words (maybe)

“I just wish I had time for one more bowl of chili.”

http://www.artofmanliness.com/2017/04/17/ultimate-collection-manly-last-words/


(Carson died at Fort Lyon, Colo., and was more a New Mexican than anything else, so he probably meant he wanted New Mexico chili, and not real chili, which comes from Texas.)

Wikipedia disagrees with the above last words.

"His last words were 'Goodbye, friends. Adios, compadres.' Carson died from an abdominal aortic aneurysm in the surgeon's quarters of Fort Lyon, Colorado."
