Used to be that musicians would get together…jam…book a session…start a band…stuff like that. Now, they work on “projects”.

Circumstances are always beyond my control and this time, the circumstances have landed me in Memphis. It’s all copasetic. One thing I will be doing is working on a project. I can’t tell you the details blah-blah-blah and that is the nature of projects.

And, like the deal where when one door closes another opens…when one project blows to hell another opportunity pops up. The project that bit the dust this time? Well…here’s the thing; at some point “hype” became a good word and also, the ability to spew hype became a desired character trait. But, hype is dead. There are still remnants of the golden age hyping to beat the devil. Money for vapor, that’s what they seek.

Dude said; “This is L.A. Baby, not Sleepy Hollow. You guys move much too slow”.

I guess Hollywood ain’t geared for me and old Crazy Bill.

Anyway, I’m here in Memphis chasing the music and not the vapor.

The good thing about projects is, you can have multiple ones kicking at the same time…festering and bubbling…they can co-exist and benefit each other.

It’s tough to make a buck playing music these days but, hype is dead. Embrace the project, play the music and, don’t drive in to the vapor.

Location; Imperial Beach, California. From Breitbart/AP…

The Border Patrol said a man has been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle 24 pounds of marijuana ashore on his surfboard off the San Diego County coast. The man was spotted Sunday morning about 200 yards off Imperial Beach, near the Mexican border.

The Border Patrol said the man threw a blue duffel bag into the water when agents ordered him to come ashore. The man was arrested in the water.

Agents said the duffel bag later washed ashore, with five packages of marijuana worth about $74,400.

Dude!

The man’s name was not released.

Luckily though, a bystander was able to snap this photo of the perp.

For some reason, this one from Breitbart/AP tickled me.

BRYANT, Ark. (AP) – Police said a woman has been arrested for allegedly slipping some tranquilizers into her boss’s coffee because she felt “he needed to chill out.” Police said the 24-year-old woman admitted to detectives that she slipped the drugs into veterinarian John Duckett’s drink. Officers said Duckett knew something was wrong shortly after drinking some of the coffee Tuesday morning.

When I first read this I thought; “Well at best, this is a young lady with good intentions but, with an ill-conceived way of putting those good intentions in to action”.

And, I’m not trying to make light of what she did or condoning unannounced use of sedatives on your boss but; what frame of mind does a geezer have to be in when his first reaction to the coffee being off is, call the cops?
