The kingmaker

 

That America being so heavily armed gives it the edge in world affairs.  But what about the children?  Laws take forever to pass, and people are so corrupt.  Would it be more efficient to turn schools into prisons in order to protect the children, with a security perimeter and protocols?

I don't think the people would go for that Grace, so you're going to have to do it the old fashioned way.  But don't you ever run for political office.  Your place in the world is to play guitar, and it's more important than your parents and anyone else could ever imagine.  Instead, you must choose candidates who you feel will get the job done then support them with concerts and personal appearances.  These people are most likely to be traitors.  If one fails you then you must choose another, or another, until the law comes through.  I advise that you get that nice ring before you follow this path.  A NICE ring.  The season is ripe with a good chance to take it right to the top, so decide quickly.

But for now Honey, run ads that finance your cause before and after the daily stream.  Make sure you keep your money and the charity's money separate.  No other ads, please.  Don't use your face in the commercials, use other people's faces.  The victims, perhaps.  Ya Allah, please protect my wife.

Movie night

 

It's movie night again!  Watch a movie with me, Grace!  The Godfather (1972).  You may have seen this movie already, but you might not.  Either way, let's watch it again.  Do you think the Mob has disappeared?  No, they just got smarter at being legitimate.  But they haven't changed their ways, after all the intense drug use and heavy gambling that is rampant and obvious.  The Godfather is still around, but he is kept well hidden.  Another business is firearms.  Funny thing about the firearm business, people need to be at war in order to do business.  So you can be sure that organized crime is active in places like the Middle East.  For example, Israel have been pounding on the Palestinians for decades already.  So why do they need to make a big deal about October 7?  Because it's time to do business!

When the boss is invisible, it means that organized crime is involved.  And they definitely don't want gun control.  Grace, restrictive laws around buying guns: that's political.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

61.  Among them are men who slander the Prophet and say, "He is an ear".  Say, "He listens to what is best for you, he believes in Allah, has faith in the believers, and is a mercy to those of you who believe".  But those who slander the Prophet will have a grievous penalty.

The Repentance 9:61

Them

 

What a beautiful creature you are, Grace!  You don't seem too thrilled about getting your photo taken, but that is the expression you need to have if you wanted to avoid getting wrinkles.  Plus they made a mistake: you are global not local.  Speaking of villains, this gun control drama you got into, have you ever wondered who the boss is?  They are troublesome, for sure.  I don't know who they are, but I do know what their next move is: to turn you into an alcoholic and a drug addict.

It's useful to know how to cook.  I'm not likely to poison myself, I save money and I eat what I want.  If I had to eat from a banquet, I know the right food to choose.  I do eat out but at the same places, the same food everytime.  We have socialized medical care here, but I try to avoid that.  I prefer prevention and self treatment.  It's a habit I got from living in the US, doctors are expensive so I doctor myself.  Thus I don't have any daily meds, other than eye and skin care.  Of course, Allah is the One Who saves my life.

Peter Green

 

Grace, you should be earning enough money inshaAllah.  Don't sign any contracts and let people steal your money and music from you.  If you need to record your music, buy the equipment and figure it out yourself.  Don't go around asking anyone for anything, advice or whatever.  You will find that studio work is just like editing video or playing guitar.  Don't be in such a rush.  Take your time, make mistakes, and give us good music.  All that's left is for you to grow as an artist.  Always be true to your emotions when you play the guitar.  And please share your growth with me.

What baffles me most about Peter Green is that he brought Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan into his band, when could have done all the guitar by himself.  Maybe he was being generous or something.  In the end, with the help of drugs, he got sick of the music and left his own band.  My source says that he was ungrateful to God, that's why his life turned out that way.

Guitar

 

Oh I see your point Grace, you get to jam with other talented people.  You are magnanimous, you know that?  Mary couldn't do such a thing.  There's no such jamming between elevated chick singers.  It's a race to be Queen, and I'm her bodyguard.

I didn't post the video at the top of the blog for the bad guitar solos.  I was captivated by all the guitar faces.  I am pleased to report that I'm getting my chops back, after being paralyzed for almost 2 weeks by Grace Bowers.  No I don't want to play guitar like you, Grace.  I wouldn't be able to compete if I tried.  I have my own shit to do.

I like that guitar solo clip you posted, Honey.  You should understand it's not just about going from slow to fast.  For example, it could be slow fast faster silent fast slow backwards fast faster stop burp stop.  Your tone is kind of weak, though.  It's time to get that Marshall stack, turn it up to 11, ride that feedback and say, "fuck the mix".  A Marshall stack would also match your hair.  What were you feeling that day?  It sounds to me that you felt you had something to prove.  I say it's most important to be in touch with how you feel.  If you feel happy, then you should sound happy.  If you feel angry, you should sound angry.  Etc.

Here, I put you side by side with Stevie Ray.  You can do it, Honey.  And just because you have balls, it doesn't mean you can be reckless.  Please keep safe and out of sight when you don't have something righteous to do.  Fame doesn't need more fame.  Learn to cook or something.

Human

 

AI might be handy, but it's not a blessing on many levels!  That it speaks to people is the fulfillment of the revelation in the Qur'an:

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

82.  And when the Word is fulfilled against them, We shall produce from the earth a Beast to them.  It will speak to them, for that humans did not believe with assurance in Our Signs.

The Ants 27:82

AI generated music means that AI will create better music than most humans.  What do you think of AI generated music, Grace?  You may argue that live music is the solution.  Sure, playing live can bypass the computers (for the most part), and mediocrity is forgivable because it's social.  The audience is mostly intoxicated, anyway.  They might just put on their and listen to AI.

Here's one thing humans can do that AI can't: decadence!

Monkeys

 

Hi Grace.  Yeah, I knew you would go.  You're stubborn like an old man.  Quarrelsome, too.  Get a security detail when you can afford it.

I live in the tropics, and there are certainly a lot of monkeys here.  Not in the village where I'm at, for most of the trees have been cleared out in favor of rice fields.  But it's not too long of a motorcycle ride to get to the jungle.  So occasionally, monkeys pay the village a visit.  All sorts of beasts come around actually, like big snakes and lizards.  Sometimes I wish I had a firearm but we have gun control here, so I have to make do with a steel rod or bamboo staff.

I don't carry a cell phone with me unless I have a task to do, or expecting a call.  It's just a personal habit, but there is a hacker in the area tapping into my cell phone signal.  He likes to mess with the Qur'an when I read it over at the mosque.  He has to be close by to do that, only a few houses away.  That's one of the "perks" of being famous Grace, is that you get monkeys swinging on your vine.  Since they do that to me out here in the Malaysian sticks, then they certainly do that to you over there in the US.  So keep that in mind when you have to go somewhere and there's a chance you need to make an emergency call.  Remember that cell phone hackers have to be nearby in order to affect your signal.  Stay on safe ground, Honey.
