Ai Weiwei & why I set up this blog

Watching an ABC (Australia) 'One + One' interview with Ai Weiwei, I had a directional thought: that if he can have risked his life on a daily basis under a brutally repressive Chinese Communist regime to present to the world a forum for truth telling, then I, in my relative comfort & liberty have a responsibility to tell the truth from this 'miggle miggle' class Aussie bloke's angles, which are more manifold than our current ideologies might like to admit. Some will argue that we've heard it all before, but I'm not so sure -- else I wouldn't be doing this. The truth is always difficult to tell, regardless of one's social positioning. Some may say that I am a victor in History and you could see it that way. But I am also a fragment of the human whole, and so while suffering exists I am implicated. I am not here to cry for me, but to cry for all 'Argentina'. I consider my role in all of this, and my position in the world allows me to shed light one would not see were one not viewing from this vantage point.

To begin it all then I thought I would show you my music & words and my most recent release 'L & H Pop'. A series of meditations on Love & Hate & the human heart. All up it is about 12 minutes long and works best taken as a whole. Perhaps universals do exist, I concede that it is a moot point, but I wouldn't communicate if I thought nobody could understand. Perhaps that's a universal.

Anyway, you're welcome to check out as often as you like & even download if the mood takes you.

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...
