Unintended Consequences – New Ron Forsythe (aka Opher Goodwin) Sci-fi novel (A sequel to The Pornography Wars).
My latest Sci-fi novel is out on Amazon in digital, paperback and Hardback form!
The politics and satire continues as our humans are set free from control and find themselves in a very different world.
While the aliens continue to argue about the future of pornography and the sentience of human beings, life for the unshackled humans is becoming very grim.
In the tridee film-making studio everything is fraught.
The populist Director General, with her advisers, is being devious.
The Minister for Arts is stoned out of her mind.
A campaign to give humans rights is being fought.
Will the humans find themselves controlled and back in the sex movie, or will they be free?
If anybody would like a signed copy please let me know! I have ordered in a batch!
R L Burnside at a Honky Tonk in rural Mississippi
Superb blues from a master!
John Cosby put this wonderful link up. It in a fabulous little club with RL providing the music. What incredible rhythms he creates on that guitar. That Hill Country rhythm permeates everything. This is from 1974. A bit of history. Such brilliance to capture a moment. How I would love to have been there. Thanks John for discovering this great footage.
Howlin’ Wolf Monument and Museum – West Point Mississippi.
We rolled into town to check out one of the greatest bluesmen, performers, singers and voices in the history of the blues – the great Howlin’ Wolf!!
We found his monument OK and the fabulous museum – unfortunately, the museum was shut!! We peered through the windows though!!
A few of Elvis’s cars and motorbikes.
When you’ve got more money than you can spend you can buy what you like on a whim. Elvis liked cars, planes and motorbikes.
Today’s Music to keep me IiiiiNnNSssSaaAaNNnnEEE – Captain Beefheart – Mirror Man album.
I felt like a dose of 21st Century Acid Blues from this most fabulous band. This set of superb blues jams is mind blowing.
To Kill is a State of Mind
To Kill is a State of Mind
To kill
Is a state of mind.
Pull that trigger.
Fire that shell.
Send the enemy straight to hell!!
Hate the enemy!
Justify the act!
They deserve it!
That’s a fact!
Be heartless
Callous
Empty and evil!
But full of malice.
To kill
Is a state of mind.
Pull that trigger.
Fire that shell.
Send the enemy straight to hell!!
Opher – 31.3.2022
Are death and violence learned?
Do we learn to hate?
Do we demonise people who are different?
Are we capable of being better?
