When Should a Band/Artist Call It Quits? The Art of Guitar

 They ask good questions, but their answers fall short.  They rationalize that these elderly rock stars are on stage for money or gambling debts.  My model goes along with Dylan making a deal with the Chief Commander.  This is a spiritual battle...be told.



Lucinda Williams, the acclaimed American singer-songwriter, suffered a stroke on November 17, 2020, in her Nashville home. 
Details of the Stroke: 
  • Williams experienced a blood clot on the right side of her brain, which affected the left side of her body.
  • She was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville for treatment.
  • After a month of rehabilitation, she was discharged and returned home. 
Recovery and Aftermath: 
  • Williams' recovery process was challenging, but she has made significant progress. 
  • She underwent physical therapy and other treatments to regain her mobility and strength. 
  • Her left side remains affected, but she has been able to resume performing and writing music. 
  • Williams has spoken openly about her experience, sharing her insights and determination to overcome the challenges she faced. 
Recent Updates: 
  • As of 2023, Williams continues to tour and perform, adapting her shows to accommodate her physical limitations.
  • She released a new album, "Stories from a Rock 'n' Roll Heart," in 2023, which reflects on her experiences and recovery. 
  • Williams remains a powerful and inspiring figure in the music industry, demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of adversity. 





  • Hynde seems to have made out the best of the bunch
  • ....truly under the dragon's wing.

  • Even the concert experience must be mediated by SCREENWORLD




  • This one is very painful to watch...

    Those are big names that still draw a crowd, still make money. city governments have tourist dollars to bring acts in. Casinos have unlimited revenue to provide entertainment and get customers thru the door. I would never pay to see any of these people now, but many people will. Even KISS who had their end of the road tour, has come back and will play Las Vegas this year. Some of the artists have been interviewed and stated they don't want to quit, as it's all they know and get bored when they aren't out playing, and the gigs are decent. But most play to backing tracks and vocals so they are ripping the fans off. There are a large percentage of comp tickets that are given away, the venues make money thru parking and concessions. I do agree there may be something else that keeps these artists on tour.

      Thanks for your comment. I think money is a ruse in this realm. I am 65 and it is a struggle for me to get to the local post office. If I didn't have to work, I would never leave my house...enjoying good food and drink, while hiking in nature. THEY are harvesting your spiritual energy. This is way beyond the material. If one is not considering the unseen spiritual realm, one is limited. I have met most of these individuals. Lucinda Williams was especially kind to me. Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson, and Chrissie Hynde were obliging and friendly. I sat next to Paul Simon at a Cafe in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I can just tell you from my perspective that if I had my drothers, I would rarely leave my home. It all requires too much energy, which I do not have. At least, I have no spiritual debts to pay back to anyone or anything. As previously iterated, I do not believe these entities are sovereign. They are compromised. They act as a hive...Mccartney, Hynde, Grohl, etc.

      This is my firsthand encounter with the system.

    I believe Scott Bondy was already compromised and didn't turn anything down. Getting signed to Capitol Records, doesn't just happen by chance, especially to a band like that from small town Alabama. And the big names that were associated with that band right away. Is that an appearance by Kurt Cobain in the Baby Got Shot video around the :36 time mark? How ironic, since we know he didn't die, they were rubbing it in our faces. You know that style of music was on the way out and Scott needed to rebrand himself. Considering his moving around to a home in NY means he wasn't just some average joe that plays alt rock. He would have be from a family that had connections. I'm sure you'll be seeing or hearing more of him in some form. He's still in the game. It's been verified Grohl was from a military intelligence family. Even Nirvana's early guitar player was apart of that. Look further into Bondy's genealogy and you'll see it.

    Interesting use of magenta and emerald green lighting during the John Fogerty concert....

I had been sending donations to Ensemble Ptashitsa in Russia for many years.  After each of their Youtube livestreams, I would send 20 dollars or so.  I always received an email of gratitude from Ivan, the leader of the group.   When the Russia Ukraine event started, I got my Paypal account locked and my bank account was locked as well.  I was able to get my bank accounts back, but to this day cannot link Paypal to my bank account.  I could no longer send donations.  Ivan released a statement about not getting deceived by stories in newspapers on Ukraine and Russia, used to divide us.  It was a brave statement inferring media fakery.  There were ALWAYS many Ukrainians in the livestream chats of Ptashitsa.  These illusions of borders and countries could not be clearer.   A year after my donations stopped due to this "war",  I received a Ptashitsa calendar in the mail from Ivan, signed by the group.  He said thanks for ...

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...

Frankie Valli still performing....at age 90

Image
My first concert experience was Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in the 1970's.   I won tickets by calling into a local radio station and identifying the song Candy Girl.  During the show, Frankie walked off stage and was very close to me.  I held a pen and the ticket stub down to him.  He took it and autographed it for me.  I will never forget it.  Unfortunately, he is one of these controller/celebrities who must continue to perform regardless of their age.  Trump, Biden, Pelosi, and McConnell are all example of this.   https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2023/12/they-must-perform.html Bob Dylan to reunite with Willie Nelson for Outlaw Music Festival tour Dylan 83 years old...Willie Nelson 91 years old https://www.billboard.com/music/country/willie-nelsons-bob-dylan-outlaw-music-festival-tour-dates-2025-1235891171/ Frankie Valli still on stage. 90 years Birthdate: May 3, 1934 He's currently scheduled to tour through April 2025 and h...
