The Other Side Franklin Ave Norwich Ct
From the Summer of Love to this summer of_____ there is a lot to reflect on, “and it appears to be a long time” echos from forty years gone. There were songs of peace, but not sung by Richard Nixon and Dr. Strangelove who lives in Ct.
Walter Cronkite dies “The most trusted man in America” who do you trust now? George Clooney, Robin Williams, Mickey Hart, CBS is such an embarrassment! Once a leading source of news now something you watch for laughs when Jon Stewart reruns won’t do. “And that’s the way it sells.”
Forty years after Woodstock and Barbie Couric lead story is Michael Vick a story Amerikans can sink their teeth into. But alas the last story on August 14th was about tour buses arriving in “Woodstock” NY full of tie dye tourists who “have got to get themselves back to the garden” or who sells more Woodstock trinkets Woodstock where the Festival wasn’t or Bethal where the festival was enquiring minds want to know?
To be fair and balanced Amerikas media is trash giving “We the consumers” what we want, lies, plastic, pollution, violence, sex, collateral damage and PROFIT!!!! dAH SAY DO YA WUNT fREEEDOM fRYS WIT DAT?
Blog has been down for a while so this is a long reflection many won’t read this far there has been so much to reflect on this August. But all for now got to go watch Bill O’Reilly on my i-phone.
enjoy pjc

I, like many others, have cancelled my cable television years ago. I still see the headlines and read all the news on the web…but what a difference it has been! I feel as though my noggin’ has much more room for the stuff I wanna put in there 🙂

Peter, you Commie-Socialist-Pinko Son-of-a-gun, you! I don’t agree with you that we get what we ask for – TV? I didn’t ask for any of it. Facebook? Huh? F-22 fighter jets? Nucular Power? No, my friend, it is much worse than that I’m afraid,… for we are mere rats in the laboratory so to speak, and subject to the powers that be. I didn’t ask for most of this shit. If we create our reality with our minds then I must be out of mine. They give us what we put up with. And what turns a buck. And keeps us numb.
Nice photos as always. Nice job on the site! Hope to see you soon.
