All of a sudden, BillJohnson is concerned with the commons. Hilarious.

John Cale and Terry Riley, "Church of Anthrax."

As soon as you hear it, you know who inspired The Who's "Baba O'Riley."

Ah, same show. That was the first one before it toured, minimally.

I remember buying Songs for Drella and thinking, ----, I'll never get all these lyrics. By the fourth listen, I could sing you the album.

There are four or five of their performances of it online. All are good and a little different.

Songs for Drella is an amazing work. Here's a version that isn't broken into tracks.

Live At Rockpalast

So many great shows from here. Among them,

John Cale, "Cable Hogue," getting the demons out:

Just popped up on the algorithm, and just posted to YT.

In 2023, during the ongoing Gaza genocide, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) were criticised because products from Hewlett-Packard Israel were provided to the Israel Police, the Israel Prison Service and the Israel Population and Immigration Authority. The BDS movement called on consumers and organisations to boycott all HPE IT services and products, as well as the printers, computers and printer cartridges of HP Inc. In 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise was identified in a report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights that listed companies facilitating the occupation of Palestine -- it states:

"Before IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) maintained the database and its Israeli subsidiary is still providing servers. Hewlett Packard (HP) has long enabled the apartheid systems of Israel, supplying technology to the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the prison service and police. Since the 2015 split of the company into Hewlett Packard Enterprises and HP Inc., opaque business structures have obscured the roles of their seven remaining Israeli subsidiaries."

"HPE is mainly owned by institutional investors, who hold around 88% of all shares. The 5 largest shareholders in mid-2025 were:

Vanguard Group Inc (169,804,055 shares held)
Blackrock Inc. (137,553,957 shares held)
Capital World Investors (73,552,085 shares held)
Bank of America (51,846,776 shares held)
JPMorgan Chase (47,124,039 shares held)"

If I worked for HPE, I wouldn't be making any long-term plans.

Underrated drummers . . .

When asked for a young drummer he really admired, Buddy Rich (!) mentioned this up-and-coming coed:

Wait for the solo. Karen Carpenter.
