rock and roll musings by Tim Byrnes

Weasel In The Henhouse

     Having been away from the blues for awhile due to work schedules and other esponsibilities I come back to find that our old friend Jim has again shown up to blather his catholic nonsense in order to be abused my yr humble narrator. I've always sensed a strong masochistic angle from the Popesmokers among us. Really, all that 'Lord I am not worthy' crap and the whole 'infanticide as example of the purest form of love' nonsense. I'll never understand why anyone would build a god that doesn't like them. Following this 'logic' w/the whole 'god made us in his image' (although I believe  the pronoun used in the Bible is 'their', not 'his', which opens up the whole 'alien race vs. supreme being' useless argument - lawd, does I digress! - but following the 'in his/their image ' line of hahaha reasoning, then what, god hates himself, too?

     So keep yr great underachiever in the sky, Jim, if that's what makes you happy. Personally, I'm trying to find ways to feel good about life; reasons to believe it might actually be worth living. I find small reasons in the feeding of a stray cat, the satisfaction of a job well done, the goodwill of friends etc. I certainly don't need negative influences like you wielding the cartoon god of Jacob like a Club of Righteousness (and I mean Club in all senses of the word) bringing me down w/yr assumed - and ridiculous - opinions dressed as the Truth.

     You'd be funny if you weren't so damn sad. I'm not gonna 'ban' you or even ask you to leave, but just want you to know nobody's listenening anymore.

     As it should be.

You're right Tim. I'm going to start following Yoko Ono now. Yes, I am a warlock. Break out the oujia boards and tarot cards. Yoko is my only true path to happiness. Just Yoko and me. Only she has the answers. Everything else is just a concept. We must give up all we have, to follow her ...














to where, I have no idea.

"Go to Hell" lyrics, directed at Tim (Alice Cooper lyrics modified by Jim)
---------------------------------
For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all the left-wing crap
that you've embraced
You can go to Hell

For gambling and drinking alcohol constantly
For making light of Catholic authority
For choosing to be a living obscenity
You can go to Hell

Velvet Underground never should have happened.
It even makes your Grandma sick.

You say its OK for a guy to stick
his thingy up another guy's ass.
You vote to take the life of the unborn as if they're trash.
You'd even give all the terrorist nations a free pass.
You can go to Hell

Velvet Underground never should have happened.
It even makes your Grandma sick.

For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all the left-wing crap
that you've embraced
You can go to Hell

Then again, if you accept Christ, you can be saved from eternal Hell, as well as the hell of your beliefs.

This is the Tim Byrnes from Spring Valley NY. Is that you Cousin Cathy? Thought you spelled it w/a K. Anyhow.....



Jim,
You've more tham made yr point. It is yr opinion that I'm going to go 'to hell' for behavior you find incorrect. Thanks for the warning, but it's my opinion that yr an idiot and this is why: you continue to think that haranguing and insulting people is a viable way to bring them to Jesus. You've been nothing more than a pushy salesman for over 2 years now and have actually strengthened my view that religious extremeism (in all it's denominations) leads to a vulgar stupidity that is mindless in only the worst sense of the word.


And I'll thank you not to speak to my Cousin.

I don't push my religion; I just use it as an excuse to stick around. And I don't see how you can call it mindless, when I've brought you to atheist logic pages for rules of engagement, etc.

"And I'll thank you not to speak to my Cousin."

Father in Heaven, I don't know why Tim has decided on Yoko Ono for his pope. But, please point the poor chap in the right direction, if you wouldn't mind.

This says it all:

"Ono, whose first husband Anthony Cox became an evangelical Christian in the 1970s, was displeased with Lennon's changed outlook. Giuliano claims that Lennon began to challenge her interest in the occult and was disappointed that she wouldn't join him in watching Graham's telecasts.

"This dramatic conversion worried Yoko," Giuliano writes.
"She feared that John's new faith would clash with her own ideas about spiritualism and threaten her iron hold over him."
In the end Ono won. In his final years, the man best known for his lines "Imagine there's no heaven / It's easy if you try" was living a life dictated by astrologers, numerologists, clairvoyants, psychics, herbalists, and tarot-card readers. The one song that Lennon wrote during his born-again period has never been released. "You Saved My Soul," which recounts being prevented from attempting suicide while staying in a Tokyo hotel, is known only to Beatles bootleggers."

I'll bet you that he would still be alive today, if Yoko would have allowed him to embrace Christianity.

That is just so sick that one lady, so demented and so warped, and so filled with hate, can influence a guy like John Lennon.

By the way, that Guliano author is being objective, because that cat is the ultimate hippy-shit, if there ever was one. HE is no friend of Christianity. Hell, that guy still believes in the Maharishi, seriously.

Jim,
Still pissed at Yoko? YOKO? And (in another useless post) compary Hillary Clinton to the 3rd Reich??!! What is yr problem w/women, Shorty?

I would however like to publicly thank you for using my humble page as a repository for yr homophobic/misogynistic/misanthropic rantings - always cloaked in the spirit of Christian love, of course - because it shows the hypocrisy that lies at the root of all religion, if not all humanity.

You talk about yr relationship w/a loving god and then spew hatred like a lawn sprinkler upon folks you don't even know. You reduce masses of humanity into enemies w/names like Protestant and, apparently hippie. You cloak yr hate in asummed righteousness, so secure are you in yr myth that you force feed it to yr children, poisoning their minds w/a false certainty. Which is bad enough, but then you indoctrinate them into taking yr perceived enemies as their own, thus ensuring the cycle of hate, mistrust and blind obedience to dangerous fairy stories (ie. god and America: remember the words 'all men are created equal' was written by a slaveowner, so the American Premise is based on, guess what, bullshit. Just like yr Catholicism.

Jesus was killed by the State, dying for no one's sins but those perceived by the State to be his own. There's that cycle again.

False premise #1: Hillary and Yoko can be classified as women.

False premise #2: Common sense love for God, family, and a belief in basic goodness are "homophobic/misogynistic/misanthropic".

False premise #3: Hating the sin is hating the sinner.

False premise #4: That anybody could have killed Jesus, like the state. Truth is, we all killed Him. But...


you can't keep a good man down, as Eduardo Dinero once sang.

Nee-ner-na-ner nee-noo!

Although I can't criticize their five game winning streak. Tigers just had a five game winning streak as well, putting us alone at the top of the AL Central division, right here before the All-Star break.

The NL West is looking pretty up for grabs. But still...

Hey Tim, yes, this is your cousin. Haven't read all of these comments but I'll find your e-mail and send a private note. Cathy-with-a-C (from Beach Ave, Bx.NY)

Cathy w/a C, how are you. If you check back here, my email is timbyrnes@antimusic.net (I'm not against music, it's a heavy metal website I used to write for - they have free email, so hey!). Yes, I'd love to catch up privately, as you can see this page, once a pompous yet somehow entertaining cyberjournal has devolved into the rantings of 2 old men over religious doctrine and the power of right.

Kinda like the Mddle East.

Tell Tommy (Tom?) I said hey!

Pompous? You mean like a successful boxer who is too cowardly to hash it out with a worthy opponent? Kind of like how Carl refuses to let God challenge him, and says "ah, I'll find out all of the answers when I'm dead", and then keeps sucking in everyone's chant of "for he's a jolly good fellow"?

BTW, in all honesty, I prayed if I should post that or not. And the answer impreesed in me is "Jim, this guy needs to be challenged; you are doing the right thing."

No, that is just what I honestly feel in my heart. I know that God can see what I am made of, when He puts me in uncomfotable places and pushes the issue when I resist, etc. I've seen carl fail those types of tests all too happily, and I think God wants to challenge him a little bit. Is he just another Townshend or a Spacone, who puts status quo over Christ, or does He really hunger for the sacramental life that God wants for him and his family?

Some interesting stuff in the last John and Yoko interview.

http://www.john-lennon.com/playboyinterviewwithjohnlennonandyokoono.htm

Firstly, the screwball would go to therapy to get over his belief in God. What a moron. He made a psychiatrist rich to be convinced that what he truly believed was not true. What a puny little jackass that guy was.

Secondly, they admit that the sixties screwed up everything, and that in the seventies everyone was reaping what they sowed in the form of broken families. So, "Starting Over" was a song for bringing about healing of that in the eighties. But they still hold to the idealism of the sixities. What a couple of messed up hypocrites.

Thirdly, he actually said that Paul McCartney creatively died after The Beatles. Now we know he's a screwball. I'm tryihg to think of anything on Revolver or Pepper that is nearly as creative as "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". I certainly can't think of anything on Lnnon's albums nearly as creative. Heck even a cheesy song like "Let 'em In" is literally 5 million times more profound and msuical than the song "Imagine", which is supposedly such a great song acdcording to all of the unchurched hippyshits out there.

Fourthly, its obvious that the guy is a blatant communist from a lot of his comments.

All in all, the guy was a complete jackass, and totally controlled by his demented wife.

Jim,
Nice to see all that Christian love and forgivness being modelled so fiercly as an example for we heathens. Once again, neither Lennon nor Yoko, nor Patti nor Laurie nor even Jesus himself is my 'Christ figure'.

There are musicians I like, musicians Ii don't like etc. but I would never exalt anyone to the point of believing they have supernatural powers such as rising from the dead and living in the sky w/an invisible father figure.

And 'Admiral Halsey'? Now I know yr nuts.

This, from a guy who signs off as "In Bono" .





"And 'Admiral Halsey'? Now I know yr nuts."

I admit that its the ultimate depressing dentist office song, but I gotta hand it to the schmuck for the cool guitar chords. Hey, it did win a grammy for creative song, that year.
