'at this point all cards are on the table'


'at this point all cards are on the table' - the sage of texas

it is 50 years of bridge of sighs. horsemouth has been watching loads of reaction videos to bridge of sighs by robin trower (both the album version and the old grey whistle test live version). people dig the guitar sound and the riff, then they dig dewar's singing. pink floyd come up as a comparison often.

while the guitar sound is pure hendrix (a comparison people seldom make for some reason) the tempo is funereal - and this is what makes it sound doomy and modern. it could be black sabbath in some ways. robin trower just digs into the riff and sits there. 

this is a written in the morning blogspot. 

horsemouth is puzzling over the trump assassination attempt. he is rapidly coming round to the conclusion that the only thing to do is go full conspiraloon on it - trump (and the trump supporters) were shot by the secret service while they were shooting at the alleged shooter (who had only gone to the event with his gun to protect trump as was his constitutional right).  the FBI, the CIA, the clintons, the cubans and the maff were all in on it but the golden horde (who had been flown in to a nearby airforce base on a c-5a galaxy earlier) were not needed to mop up afterwards. 

andrew marr made the argument horsemouth made - that trump/ hitler/ all the despots are the product of social forces and thus assassinating them early doors will not give you peace. as soon as he heard it uttered by another horsemouth found it less convincing. 

it's a beautiful morning out in the wild. this evening horsemouth goes to bell-ringing class but first he must go and unlock the abbey. he has some time to finish writing this before he goes. 

the music? - the woman from harrga (and triple negative)
