DIRTYBENNY WRITES

 Aside from all of my physical ailments, this reality is a never ending series of tortures. In the midst of another 90 degree heat wave, the one room that I have air conditioned had water all over the floor, damaging artwork and the bamboo floor.  After 2 hours with a repairman tonight, the condenser is cracked and the unit needs to be replaced. I have amazon Prime, still, the earliest delivery is Wednesday...So I have to struggle through 2 more days of 90 plus degree temperatures with no A/C. Then I come home from the flea market and get my mail...my mailbox is filled with wasps who are desperately attacking my car. Just make it end.

Outstanding interview with Billy Joel focused on how he writes songs, the structure of some of his greatest hits, and the role of classical music in his life.  Extremely enjoyable. As someone who has played musical instruments since my teens, I find both Billy Joel and Paul Simon to be totally believable as to their song writing process.

This post was inspired by a comment from Brian from Ohio asking about my personal experiences with celebrities.  I have previously shared a list of the celebrities that I have met.  https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2025/05/famous-people-that-i-have-met.html I saw Blondie at Avalon in Boston in the early 2000's.   As usual, I collected autographs so I came prepared with a Blondie LP to be signed.   After the show, there were about 30 people waiting by the tour bus for autographs.   Debbie came out the stage  door surrounded by bodyguards.  She walked directly up to me, took my album and went on the bus.  2 minutes later, a roadie brought out my album signed.  The people around me were dumbfounded at how lucky I was to be chosen.  Maybe there is more to it.  Did she read my energy?  Did she know that this one would eventually be able to see?  Who knows....it was unusual in all my years of autograph collec...

  Shannon Rowan, the "WiFi" refugee & geopolitical author-researcher joins Dr. Lando to discuss her most recent book " The Red Shoes: Our Devil's Dance with Technology and How We Can Stop it,".

It is striking to me that so many embrace these technologies from corporations that have shown that they are out to harm the public.  

One of my all time crushes was Susan Dey from the Partridge Family.  Please don't tell me she's a man...I don't want to know.  Let me live in my delusion.

I met Ian and Billy many times over the course of the years.  I always took them to be genuine people.   Something happens to them over the course of their experience to change them in my opinion.  Ian is now 64...who would want to do this at that age?

Aside from my personal sun revelation, nothing has spun my head around as much as this History Hacking channel. His model is directly explaining such disparate topics as dinosaurs, star forts, pyramids, reincarnation, lucid dreaming, sasquatch, etc. I have watched each of these multiple times just to wrap my head around the concepts.   It is difficult for me to believe that this volume of information is coming from one individual.  I can find no interview with the author online. Is he a frontman for AI putting out information to prop up the simulation model?  7 videos in the last 24 hours with almost no views.
