Hang On To Your Home (Poem)

Hang on to your home
For the world's technology will always grow
So the family you have will always know
Where truth and justice originally sewed
Where the warm eyes of lanterns eternally flow
And the crate and myrtle shed a pine anew
Your home is the one slowly eroding with you

Yet the soldier leaves and a foundations cracks
Are filled by the bread he won from yonder
His mother need a burial ground
For a spangled staircase of decor and stealing
And the kids must have wives for family anew
Hang On To Your Home
For your home is you

Heretic (2024) Film Review

**1/2 out of 5. Heretic is a horror film that seeks the thrill ride of disrupting another's devotion to their belief system. This is a very common theme in horror films, but in Heretic there is a very precise and obvious mockery of foundational religion. The film uses it's main villain to demonstrate sadistic opposition to the belief systems of others. An increasingly disturbing conversation between Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), and Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher), and Sister Paxton (Chloe East) begins with a light hearted agreability concerning the validity of Mormonism, religious devotion, and historical iterations of God. As Mr. Reed continues to escalate his invasive "truth-seeking" methodology; predictably the Sisters become concerned and start to realize they're going to have to escape. As we delve into the psychology of a meticolous villain whom for an Unknown reason finds gruesome pleasure in dissolving and refuting orthodox religion and the followers it produces...

Love Lies Bleeding (2024) Film Review

**1/2 out of 5 Stars Love Lies Bleeding begins looking like a camp style neon-saturated rom-com with a devilishly stylish color code, wardrobe, and cast. Yet when Jackie (Katy M. O' Brian) snaps on steroids and commits a murder, we are re-directed into a neo-noir nightmare with silver linings. Lou (Kristen Stewart) takes Jackie into her home after meeting her a gymnasium she owns and operates. They fall passionately in love, and combat the unfortunate reality of nosey neighbors, criminality and corruption, and abandonment. The film possesses one of the finer lesbian couples I have ever seen. They are accompanied by a ardent sex scene featuring "Transformation" by: Nona Hendryx, and an anti-smoking campaign voice on the radio that doesn't seem to be working very effectively. There is a definite sense of desire being a major theme here. It seems that the more Lou and Jackie disobey orders and follow what they truly want the more intense their love affair becomes, and th...

Top 25 Album of The New Quarter Century (2000-2025)

  Introduction:       As a music theorist, a musician, and a producer I have always appreciated and enjoyed Music Journalism right along side the other aspects of the music industry. I thoroughly enjoyed Rolling Stone's various lists on the Summer of Love, The Greatest Songs of All Time, and The Greatest Albums of All Time. I checked regularly at Songs You Wish You Wrote in The Smoking Section. After seeing Pitchfork and Rolling stone rank their hundred or so best albums of The New Millenium (2000-2025) I remembered that I had once anticipated and looked forward to developing such a list when the time is appropriate.     When I make a serious list I like to be transparent about criterion that aided me in my choices. For this list they were: 1. Have heard the album in its entirety and played it multiple times. 2. Have confirmation and evidence that the album was collectively successful. 3. Base rankings on total quantity plays and qualitative examinatio...
