John Lee Hooker performing at Long Beach
Music Festival, USA on August 31 1997

Featured Tracks: Don't Look Back: Gloria
There is some debate as to the year of Hooker's birth (August 22, 1917 ? – June 21, 2001) in Coahoma County, Mississippi, the youngest of the eleven children of William Hooker (1871–1923) a sharecropper and Baptist preacher and Minnie Ramsey (born 1875, date of death unknown). After his father's death, the next year, his mother married William Moore, a blues singer who provided Hooker with his first introduction to the guitar (and whom John would later credit for his distinctive playing style). John's stepfather was his first outstanding blues influence. William Moore was a local blues guitarist who learned in Shreveport, Louisiana to play a droning, one-chord blues that was strikingly different from the Delta blues of the time. At the age of 15, John Lee Hooker ran away from home, reportedly never seeing his mother or stepfather again. 

Throughout the 1930s, Hooker lived in Memphis, Tennessee where he worked on Beale Street. He worked in factories in various cities during World War II, drifting until he found himself in Detroit in 1948 working at Ford Motor Company. He felt right at home near the blues venues and saloons on Hastings Street, the heart of black entertainment on Detroit's east side. In a city noted for its pianists, guitar players were scarce. Performing in Detroit clubs, his popularity grew quickly and, seeking a louder instrument than his crude acoustic guitar, he bought his first electric guitar. Among the atists who have covered his songs are: Buddy Guy, Cream, AC/DC, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Van Morrison, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Doors and The White Stripes. Among his many awards, Hooker has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in 1991 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Two of his songs, "Boogie Chillen" and "Boom Boom" were included in the list of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. "Boogie Chillen" was included as one of the Songs of the Century. He was also inducted in 1980 into the Blues Hall of Fame. In 2000, Hooker was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Did Morsi's Proxy Goons Do The Sinai Killings?

Now...there goes the army; there goes the free media; there goes Egypt.

Morsi’s actions in removing the Egyptian military leadership amounts to a coup by the Muslim Brotherhood. Now Morsi is bound by no constitution. He can do as he pleases unless someone is going to stop him. And the only candidate–the military–is fading fast; far faster than even pessimists would have predicted. (Barry Rubin)

First we return Egypt to the 7th century, then Abbas my brother
 we finish the Furher's work.

The Muslim Brotherhood was Hitler's favorite Muslims; and they are a treacherous Islamist outfit who will stop at nothing to achieve their Islamification goals. So in order to have an excuse to take their totalitarian route to total control of Egypt, the Islamofascist MB would be very capable of orchestrating an attack on the Egyptian border post using some expendable Jihadist jerks to do the deed. Job Done!

US Will Take A Rain Check...As Per Usual!

And futher more...

As talk of an imminent Israeli strike on the Iranian nuclear program intensifies, American diplomatic sources have reportedly said that the U.S. will provide logistical support for Israel in the event of such an attack, as well as an "air umbrella" to help cope with possible retaliation. The Israeli daily Maariv reported these developments on Monday, and apparently emphasized the large role played by electoral considerations by both Obama and Romney...and therefore, the US would not take part in any actual action against Iran.

Full of moralising hot air

In WW2 with Europe under Nazi occupation, for two years Britain stood and fought on alone. The US supplied Britain with much needed hardware, food and a credit line (at a handsome profit with interest, I might add). Moral considerations for the land of the free to actually fight for freedom and enter the war against the Nazis was never a consideration...until that is, the Japanese came calling. Once again it's expedience over all other considerations.
So...the next time some US politicians talk some fucking bollocks about America's moral superiority in their back slappin' mutual appreciation society, they can stick it up their wide, expedient ass holes!

Jersey Boy Who Can't Tell Pie From Puke!

Christie’s Embrace 

of the Islamofascists!

Yes. He did offer me an annual supply of my fav pies, but I declined.
Hamas? He said he'd never heard of them...

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie held an Iftar dinner at the Governor’s Mansion in late July. He took the opportunity to declare himself a foursquare tool of Jihadists and Islamic supremacists, and even adopted their language in deriding those who have pointed out how he has allowed himself to be compromised by them. 
Attending the dinner was the prominent New Jersey Imam Mohammad Qatanani, and Christie was glad to see him. Christie did not mention several salient details about his “friend.” Investigative journalist Daniel Greenfield reports that “despite the fact that Mohammed Qatanani was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that is behind both al-Qaeda and Hamas, despite his own guilty plea to being a member of Hamas, and despite the fact that even in the United States, he had defended a charity that provided funds to children of suicide bombers (this is done as an incentive to reassure terrorists that if they die their families will be taken care of), Qatanani was not deported.”(not really too surprising given the Obama administration's Muslim appeasement policy - my italics).
Christie also referred to another friend of his, Sohail Mohammed, whom he appointed to a Superior Court judgeship in Passaic County. Mohammed was Qaranani’s lawyer when he pled guilty to membership in Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Christie has defended Mohammed before, and last year even went out of his way to slam opposition to Sharia in the U.S. as “crap.”

What is actually “crap” is the idea that 

anyone would consider Chris Christie 

fit to be President of the United States!

Saturday Song #9

Tori Amos: Live in Atlanta, USA.

Featured Tracks: "Winter" "Rattlesnakes"
Tori Amos (born August 22, 1963) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. She is a classically trained musician and possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range. Instruments played : Piano, harpsichord, clavichord, Hammond organ, harmonium, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Kurzweil, clavinet, vocals. As of 2005, Amos had sold 12 million albums worldwide and has been nominated for several awards, including 8 Grammy Awards. Her third solo album, Boys for Pele, was released in January 1996. The album was recorded in an Irish church, in Delgany, County Wicklow, with Amos taking advantage of the church recording setting to create an album ripe with baroque influences, lending it a darker sound and style. She added harpsichord, harmonium, and clavichord to her keyboard repertoire, and also included such anomalies as a gospel choir, bagpipes, church bells, and drum programming.

The album garnered mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics praising its intensity and uniqueness while others bemoaned its comparative impenetrability. Despite the album's erratic lyrical content and instrumentation, the latter of which kept it away from mainstream audiences, Boys for Pele is Amos's most successful simultaneous transatlantic release, reaching #2 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Top 40 upon its release. Fueled by the desire to have her own recording studio to distance herself from record company executives, Amos had the barn of her home in Cornwall, England converted into a state-of-the-art recording studio, Martian Engineering Studios.
Amos is the third child of Rev. Dr. Edison and Mary Ellen Amos and she was born at the Old Catawba Hospital in Newton, North Carolina, USA during a trip from their Georgetown home in Washington, D.C. Her maternal grandparents were of mixed European and Cherokee ancestry; of particular importance to her as a young child was her grandfather, Calvin Clinton Copeland, who was a great source of inspiration and guidance to her.

"Rattlesnakes"

Outside of music: In June 1994, Amos co-founded RAINN, The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, a toll-free help line in the US connecting callers with their local rape crisis center. Amos -  herself a survivor of a sexual assault - was seen as unlocking the silence of her assault through her music; thus "Unlock the Silence" went on to become a year-long campaign for RAINN when Amos became a national spokesperson for the organization. By the summer of 2006, RAINN had received its one millionth caller and the organization's success has led to it ranking in "America's 100 Best Charities" by Worth, and one of the "Top 10 Best Charities" by Marie Claire.
Amos is married to English sound engineer, Mark Hawley and they have a daughter who was born in 2000. The family divides their time between Sewall's Point in Florida; Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland, and Cornwall England. (Wikipedia) 

ISRAEL: MORE AT RISK NOW THAN EVER!

Iran nuclear threat bigger than 

one Israel faced 

before Six-Day War!

If Iran obtains nuclear arms, it will goad its neighbors and adversaries and will be unstoppable. IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz warned on Thursday,"WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR A MULTI-FRONT WAR".

Israel is the only country in the world threatened with total destruction. If the phrase NEVER AGAIN is to mean just that, waiting for Obama aka Chamberlain to act against Iran - when he is only interested in saving his own ass in November - not the possible annihilation of Israel, then waiting will prove to be the ultimate mistake. The latest intel on Iran states that their nuclear program will soon be beyond reach. 

Israel must go it alone NOW. And if it requires using it's nuclear capability against the Iranian nuclear facilities...where ever they have placed them...then so be it. And if it means that the land around these places sizzles and crackles for 10,000 years before the bastards can plant a tomato, I for one won't give one flying fuck!

Just Another Prick Against The Wall!

It Was An Mistake, Honest Gov!

The Guardian has retracted a claim it made that Tel Aviv is the capital of Israel, issuing a correction on Wednesday in its print edition and online. But...“The Guardian Style Guide states: Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel; Tel Aviv is,”
“This correction is a significant achievement against a newspaper that has been a major contributor to the broader delegitimization of Israel in the UK and beyond,” said Joe Hyams, HonestReporting’s chief executive. “It is shocking that it has taken the threat of legal action to reverse a decision that was not based on reality".  JONNY PAUL, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT

Western Temple Wall, Jerusalem, Israel.

The Guardian's western wall...after the Caliphate!

Look Joe, there is nothing really shocking about it. For years, The Guardian and BBC have consistently been two of the most virulent anti-Israel fuckers you'll find outside of Gaza Central. They are so pro Fatah/Hamas that the leftie prats would be throwing rose petals at the feet of their Islamofascist heroes even as they were being dragged out of their respective premises, lined up against a wall and given their very own AK47 send off by Abdullah.
