 I can't go on.

 I'll go on.



You're fooling yourself!  We're living in a dictatorship!

delightful,


231st


day



of 



summer, high up 4 to 77 (Pleasant Hill, 75; Pinole, 82),


catching up with the Theoreticians for Quadruple Board Harmony (two systems of John Williams Star Wars / The Empire Strikes Back [that certainly resonates today!]


and one each Philip Glass Einstein on the Beach: Bed and Roger Waters Shine on You Crazy Diamond: III)


+ prescient


12-bar blues from Greg.


Further


south


and


west,


over the


Coast Ranges


to


UC Berkeley, after tutorials,


for research re The Opus Project presents Opus 47 (8pm, Saturday, November 19, Diablo Valley College Music, Viking Drive, Pleasant Hill, CA) -- and the campus is ominously quiet, which somehow presages what is to come... the angst growing stronger... a lone old Bernie Sanders sticker on a bumper...


homeward,


thinking about Caesar Augustus and Adolf Hitler....


Very disappointed


(not the first times --


1980 / 1984 / 1988 / 2000 / 2004 --


but progressively stronger)


in the state of America,


but goes a way in explaining taste, too.


Horrible role model on all accounts,






and now four or even eight more years...
