Meeting Count Basie ...back in the 1970's

My Dad loved jazz.  One of the first concerts he took me to was Count Basie and his Orchestra.  Before the concert, my Dad took me to the stage door.  He had me get all the band members to autograph my program.  Count Basie came to greet us, wearing a white wife beater T-shirt.  Butch Miles on drums was incredible. The whole band was so nice to me. Count Basie's understated style is still of great appeal to me. 

 One of my wonderful early memories. Thanks to my Dad's interest in jazz, I was fortunate to have seen and met Benny Goodman and Dizzy Gillespie as well.

Who writes the music? The BOX.

  I propose that none of the pop musicians, actors, celebrities, government officials are what they present as. The kabuki theatre of Joe Rogan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Peter Frampton, and Barry Manilow is an example of how their hive harvests attention from manKIND. Where did Peter Frampton even come from? I have already posted the bizarre stories of Barry Manilow and Neil Young. I also propose that these entities can never exit the stage...of life. Joni Mitchell at 78 is called upon again to come on stage in this Rogan charade. This is another bizarre one, filled with anger and vengeance even at its elderly age. I found this interview from ten years ago VERY revealing. "I'm a freedom freak." Interesting statement in the context of the current vax-o-mania. In 2010..... Contrarily, during an interview with the LA Times in 2010, the interviewer compared the two of them, which the report claimed that Mitchell fiercely refuted this comparison and stated: “We are like nigh

Beyonce and Sasha Fierce...a case study in demonic possession

Image
I have previously written about Angus Young, Jim Morrison, and Pete Townshend on stage appearing to be demonically possessed. Beyonce outright admits Sasha takes over her body when she performs. https://fakeologist.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?p=2638#p2638 Beyonce Was Once Accused Of Practicing ‘Extreme Witchcraft’ & ‘Dark Magic’ By Her Drummer Who Claimed She Killed Someone Precious To Her, Bizarre! Around 5 years ago, a former drummer of Beyonce accused the singer of practising witchcraft, dark magic & casting spells on her.  As reported by Daily Mail in 2018, female drummer Kimberly Thompson had once accused Beyonce of practising dark magic. The site noted that in court documents (obtained by The Blast), the drummer – who claimed to have worked with the ‘Lemonade’ hitmaker for seven years, accused her of extreme witchcraft, casting spells, tapping her phones, controlling her finances, and even murdering her kitten. https://www.koimoi.com/hollywood-news/beyonce-was-once-accused-
