[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D   CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show 

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1] 


SPEAKER_02:  Warning, this episode contains some audio and or video glitches. It is not your equipment. Hey gang, just a brief intro into music weeks. Here they are now. I was also considering going down the list of all the people that you see over the music weeks to be part of each episode, let you know who's coming or who may have been or what not. The list has grown too big to really go into here. I don't want to take that much time. Music weeks, thankfully, is grown into a pretty big deal. So it's grown a lot more than just the one music we get. Originally was going to start out as into multiple weeks now. So at any rate rather than ramble more, let's go ahead and get into this particular day's music weeks episodes. And I'm trying to drop them Monday through Friday each week of music weeks. Thank you all for tuning in. Take care. God bless. As Graham Norton would say, let's get some guests on. Welcome to the institutionalist politics podcast, aka CTP. I am your host Joseph M. Leonard and that L-E-N-A-R-D. CTP is your Nomus. No fuss. Just me. You can occasional death type podcast. I really appreciate you tuning in to Graham Norton would say, let's get out with the show.
SPEAKER_00:  For sure.
SPEAKER_02:  Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of institutionalist politics podcast. You're joining an episode of music weeks. And joining me today is Adam Blalock of heart songs, the podcast. Welcome Adam. Thank you so much, Joseph. Yeah, and I got to apologize because on my 15 plus social media platforms, I had already threw out there that I'm going to be on heart songs, the podcast in like April or May. I called you Adam Blalock instead of Adam Blalock. It's like hours later. Uh oh, typo. Yeah, it happens all the time.
SPEAKER_00:  No, yes.
SPEAKER_02:  And for the benefits of the audio only or those reading the transcript, those behind the scenes video can see music weeks. I already recorded a few shows, but now I'm thinking. For music week, I'm digging into my closet and digging up concert shirts. So today I happen to be wearing an autograph shirt from Rick Springfield normally stays hidden in the closet. So the, you know, the, the signature won't fade. But since I mentioned Springfield in my heart songs that will appear on your show, I figured I'd dig that up. Yeah. Awesome. You know, it makes sense. I used to have like probably a thousand different shirts, but at some point, I was like, I keep, keep all these gave a lot of them away. So I'm going through the closet. What ones do I still have even? Right? Yeah. Yeah. So, so at any rate, before we dive into your podcast and how that came about, the, yeah, it is music week. So right cue the who. Who are you? Who, who, who, who, who, where were you born and raised and where are you now? All that kind of good stuff.
SPEAKER_00:  Great questions. Born Mesa, Arizona raised Mesa, Arizona. I'm a very, very native Phoenix Valley of the sun. Arizona boy. I mean, I don't know, been around lived in like Sacramento and Pittsburgh and a few different places, but very, very much from here. I don't know. What's my story? I was raised. Religious, I was raised Mormon, which, which ties into a documentary that I made that you can find on YouTube about going back and kind of retracing the steps of my Mormon mission. But outside of that, it was a big basketball fan. That was actually one of my first dreams in life. I wanted to play in like the NBA, but so Phoenix Suns, I take it. Oh, yeah. Like the 92 roster of the Suns is, it was one of my heart songs. I'll tell you what, like it's, it is just where basketball was great.
SPEAKER_02:  Of course, I'm not much of a basketball fan, but the Detroit piston bad boys day. Oh, definitely was tuned in then.
SPEAKER_01:  Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:  First, sir. So then from basketball, I like to draw lots of them. My dream kind of phased into animation. I wanted to work for Disney for a long time and. Yeah. The shortest version of the story is when I was 12 years old and my family moved to Sacramento and we lived there for about a year. We lived there for about three years and we moved back to Arizona three years later and I was 15 and all of my friends had gone from, I don't know, you know, I don't know what we watch in the back then like full house and family matters and Saturday morning cartoons and stuff. So like all of them had grown up their hair and we're listening to this like alternative grunge rock music. And so I just got this, this aggressive introduction to this, this type of music. I mean, I've been listening to 90s country like Garth Brooks and Martina McBride and stuff like that. And so I just got catapulted into this whole different genre and through that found the guitar and it just became one of those things where the music had so much passion to it. And I wanted to learn how to express that that I couldn't not pick up the guitar and, you know, try to be in a band. And then that basically set up the next 20 years of my life where I was just in and out of all sorts of original bands and tribute band. Do you name it? Just a whole life and career of music, which, you know, kind of leads us to the doorstep of the new podcast.
SPEAKER_02:  Yeah. Before you get to the park, what was one or two of the tribute bands? What did you tribute band to?
SPEAKER_00:  Great question. I feel like I'm embarrassed to admit it now at the time. I feel like I kind of had a big head about it, but I fronted a Foo Fighters tribute band. So like I sang and played guitar in that. And that was a blast. I mean, now that I look back on it, like I just, I had nothing to bring to that role. I don't look like Dave and I don't always sing like him, but whatever. But that got me in the same, like playing gigs alongside and what have you several different bands, which eventually landed me a, the bass guitar and backup vocal role in an Alice in Chains tribute band, which might have been one of my favorite bands ever. Like, you know, I knew their radio hits when I jumped into the band, but learning a lot more of their discography and genuinely and honestly so much fun interacting with fans that show up. To hear that music because it's kind of a combination of hard rocks. You really get to like, you know, but you really, like, it's funny how Jerry Cantrell, guitar player from Alice in Chains describes them as a heavy blues band. Like that he doesn't even associate him with grunge and alternative, which is where they kind of got locked in. Like to him, it's like a metal blues band. So when you get real deep into their discography, like it's really well written music and I mean, you know, anybody that's familiar, even with just the harmonies, these really dissonant, chromatic harmonies. So it was just super fun to both be able to kind of like stretch my, my wings and, and I guess play really complex music and also just have a great time connecting.
SPEAKER_02:  Yeah, I had several Alice in Chains discs over the years. So yeah, I can appreciate the stuff that people generally don't hear. That deeper stuff that most people don't know is there that you want you open that door and get into it's like, wow, there's a lot more depth to these people than the tunes I just hear on the radio, right? Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_00:  But anyway, but outside of that, I mean, you know, other, I like, I mean, just a breadth of experience. I got a chance a couple of years ago to be in a real big fish tribute band, which just took everything that I've been enjoying from, you know, like the, the kind of hard rock tonk appeal of like Foo Fighters and then sort of the metal angle of Alice in Chains and just throw all that out the window and go into this like, scah world, which is a whole different vibe. And again, it's one of those things where like we play bars sometimes with people who really didn't even know who real big fish was like, like they might have heard sell out on the radio, but for the most part had no idea. Just engage with super danceable music without having to know what it was. And to really, I guess, deeper understand the appeal of not only scah music, but specifically how brilliant real big fish was that it really is just great music. And I think that you're going to walk away and go buy a CD because you want to hear that song again, or you're just going to have a good time in the moment. And it kind of doesn't really matter what happens after that.
SPEAKER_02:  Yeah. And along the way you came across Weezer, which landed up being the Genesis. See what I did there. Christian show, Christian joke, right? The Genesis. For what led into heart songs, the podcast. Explain a little bit about that Weezer kind of light bulb moment of, whoa, this will make a good podcast format.
SPEAKER_00:  The great question. The irony is I'm not even, well, I was going to say I'm not even that big of a Weezer fan. I don't know if that's true because I did not know.
SPEAKER_02:  Oh, having audio issue there.
SPEAKER_00:  Obsessively. The red album, which is where, but I guess my point is it's the main thing I think that I ever listened to. It was always kind of, but basically the short version of the story is I heard the album when it first came out back in 2008 and loved a handful. A handful of songs on it. Like, I don't think it's given like a brilliant album front to back, but I think there's some real.
SPEAKER_02:  Oh, you're following up. You froze for a minute there, but you're back.
SPEAKER_00:  It was heart. It was heart. So cut. Yeah. So for anybody who hasn't heard it, doesn't know what it is like heart songs is this ballad, like this rock ballad that's on Weezer's Red album. And that basically is Rivers Cuomo, the singer, like telling the story of his life. And he starts as a kid and all of the artists like Gordon Lightfoot and what have you that influenced him then. And then the second verse gets more into like his teenage years and radio hits and different things and stuff that he was hearing his house. And the third verse gets into like picking up guitar and and Slayer and Judas Priest and stuff until it eventually lands on Nirvana's Nevermind album and how that like really just cracked him open artistically. And now that he knew how to play guitar, he was given sort of a purpose, I guess, with like that style of music really unlocked what he wanted to do. And then he went on to, you know, form Weezer in play shows, but the the heart songs. The first book I guess you could say in it is that he's describing all the songs that he's growing up with as his heart songs because they're things that inspire him and mean something to him. And then he explains that as he as Weezer became a thing, people would come up to him about his music and say, this is the song. And so it's a it's a real as an artist. It was extra special to me to see through his perspective how he got to embody the shoes, I guess you could say of his heroes by becoming other people's heroes. From the first time I heard it, I thought to myself, like, it would be so rad to hear other artists stories in this format where you can kind of like hear what influences took him to where they are. At no point in thinking that was I thinking about it in the format of a podcast, even though I think they existed at the time, they started back in like. Yeah, oh, seven or eight or something like that. And I was nerdy enough to listen to, like Kevin Smith and Ricky Gervais and the early podcasters, but back then it wasn't something that just anybody could do so it never would have connected. So, you know, fast forward to, I don't know, within the last couple of years. Basically, I started a podcast. Oh, when did I start it? And I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast, and I started a podcast. It was open. It was open Murphy and it was open Murphy and it's open Murphy and it was openeeee hit, you were so stuck in your house that a lot of the audience became content creators to try to entertain themselves. And so what ends up happening is your content that was already questionably entertaining is now has to compete, even with some of the people that were like listening to your podcast. So like if you're not just killing it with whatever story you're trying to tell or whatever guest stories you're trying to tell, you might as well just get out of it. And that's kind of how I felt that was like, yeah, it's it's so saturated. And I just need to get out of it like it's not it's a waste of my time.
SPEAKER_02:  And so the tie tie that together with the heart songs concept, right? In a way, your podcast became someone else's heart song and inspiration to do maybe what they're doing.
SPEAKER_00:  Yes, I mean, that that's the short version tie through. Yes, I mean, it's it's it's a situation where I was out of podcasting for a good two or three years. And I started to feel the itch to get back into it just because I enjoyed as a medium and I'm an artist. So I like to create and put stuff out there. But the itch, like I would argue with the itch and be like, dude, you don't have anything to say like there's just no point until eventually, honestly, there's a deeper story that I really need to sit down and remember all the little moments that I had and like bright it all out. So when I'm asked this question, I can be more specific. But there was just kind of these lightning strike moments of inspiration along the way that eventually brought that idea. Artists to tell their story, bet mine. And then it was just a really tricky space of time where I was talking to some other creative friends of mine and trying to like need the dough and work the idea out. Originally, I was gonna do it kind of like you're doing it as a zoom podcast, where it was like a whole interview saying and you I mean, I was gonna say you might be shocked at how many people weren't interested. But I'm sure you have your own struggles in getting guests for your show. I know how that is. It's not my favorite either. So it was just kind of months and months of trying to like pitch the show to friends and try to see if they want to do it and then have them either just straight up say no, ghost me or be sweet enough to be like, no, and here's why. And using that feedback to be like, okay, what is the method? What's the format that I can do this in that's going to be something interesting for an audience to enjoy? But be something that an artist is going to be, I guess, motivated to want to be a talkative. And that was where I thought, okay, maybe instead of scheduling interviews, which was kind of part of what was shutting it down, like people just, it's weird after COVID people just seem to have less scheduled time, which I can't 100% figure out, but I can also relate to because my life is busy too. And so it just turned into what if I just have them record answers to these questions, send it into me. And then it's on me to like put the episode together and make it something entertaining. I didn't want to my older brother who's an author as just kind of a test episode. And I sent it to a handful of those people that shot me down. And most of them were like, I'm in. And from there, it's just been like this snowball. Yeah, people like finding out what the show is maybe going out and listening to an episode and then being like, dude, way to bring like a fresh format to this boring podcast and grab me just being like, I mean, thanks, it took a while. But yeah, yeah, good.
SPEAKER_02:  Well, aside from music weeks that I'm going to run episodes Monday through Friday with guests, I don't push my show on my disability. I have health issues. So I indeed cheat and use zoom to do it. And I only drop shows normally twice a week Wednesday will be a guest show. Saturday will be a Christian or politics or both or whatever monologue show. So I'm only doing two weeks. So indeed, it's less difficult to get gas and I a few months of guests recorded out, except for now that hey, music weeks, I want to try to turn it into music months. So now I'm behind putting everybody, you know, if you're looking behind the scenes, I'm holding up the clock behind the eight ball and on the clock. No, we got to record now. Otherwise, Oh, hey, you want to record in a month too much? Okay, that's fine. But no, now it's kind of like, Oh, well, I kind of put the pressure on that I'm doing this. So in a way, a lot of times, right? If you don't really put any real pressure on yourself, then, you know, we're all human, we're all frail, we're all flawed, we we can all get a bit lazy. I gave you my heart songs and I don't want to go into them here. I asked people check out heart songs, the podcast in whatever April, May, June, whatever, the episode with me lines up coming out, because I know you're recorded a bit ahead like I am. So don't have a date certain that it'll drop yet. But I asked that they watch for that. And of course, you'll let me know when it drops and I'll shoot it across my social media and whatnot. That it's out. Your first question is first song, tell me about a song you grew up with something from your childhood that means something to you and has stuck with you to this day. What is your answer to that?
SPEAKER_00:  I'm going to tell you why I'm not going to answer the question. And I'm curious if you'll if you'll back my artistic reason for not answering the question. I don't have any idea how long heart sounds is going to last. I don't remember when guests are going to dry up. I don't know if any of that right now. I know I have X amount built out. And I'm always, you know, on the prowl, obviously you and I met and we're swapping episodes. So it is going because it is going. If the day ever comes that it stops, I am going to be the last episode of heart songs. And on that episode, I will tell my heart songs and I will tell my stories up until that point. I feel like it would just really be. I'm not that anybody really cares. I've had a few friends that even past guests be like, I want to hear your heart songs, but I enjoy the tension that exists there that it's like, now, if the show ever shuts down, I'll be the last that last episode. And you can hear my heart songs, which is also ironic, because you as a guest of the show. The truth is I just put examples there and they may or may not actually be my heart songs. But at the bottom of each question is an example from me to try to give the guests some an idea. What's happening? So you have an idea.
SPEAKER_02:  I have your email right here. What I made quick notes to the question and I recorded and sent to you within an hour emailing me the concept because I really love the concept. And I agree. What people hear the concept, it's great. And people want to be involved. And I wholeheartedly agree with you. Why share yours until potentially later, because then in a way, you want to avoid giving people a suck up answer. Right? Yeah, they know what yours is. So they want to tell you what they think you want to hear, rather than them giving an honest answer, which doesn't help things.
SPEAKER_00:  And people have done that to be honest with you. I mean, not that I'm going to point fingers because I wouldn't have anybody to be deterred from a particular episode, just because I'm
SPEAKER_02:  having a opinion about it. You're going to get calls after the sares. Yeah. Yeah, like, they're you out me. I know you
SPEAKER_00:  were talking about me. Yeah, there's definitely some episodes where you can tell people are just pandering to what they think like an audience might be interested that their song being versus other times like the the poll is just so deep and personal and the story is so personal. I'm like, you got the show in my opinion. And and that this is where the show shines when you're telling something from your personal experience versus like, Oh, yeah, this song was big on the radio and I was a team. Your suits my heart song. I'm like, well, that's not really, but okay, I get it.
SPEAKER_02:  I gave you 17 minutes of material, which of course, you might be able to cut down some, but indeed, very seriously, and some might say I rambled a bit, but I gave specific reasoning in different parts of why is the answer not just it's not yes or no questions. Right. Like one of the examples that first question you put example, I get around the beach boys right? Well, why you're out me on the air. Well, again, you know, that's just a generic example of the concept of what you mean and why like you said, just because oh, well, you know, like my I will give one of my answers. My first answer my first is band on the run. And the reason was because growing up, Bobble Island and amusement park in the Detroit area of Island off of Amherstburg Ontario, Canada, and now past 9-11, it could never exist because of all the security issues and whatnot. But we used to take the Bobble Boat out and back. And that song played a lot on the Bobble Boat. So that landed up being the first 45 RPM record for those who remember what those are that I ever bought to go on to the thousands of pieces of vinyl that are in my collection today. So, and I ramble a little bit about that. But that's the details, the context of the why.
SPEAKER_00:  So it makes the show tick 100%.
SPEAKER_02:  Okay, now, you mentioned the other one guy, a car and what was
SPEAKER_00:  it? A guy, a car and a podcast, my last show.
SPEAKER_02:  Was there another one also in there between or just the two?
SPEAKER_00:  I mean, I'm guessing on, you know, I don't know, maybe a dozen podcasts, but now just me personally, me like hosting and making it now. It's I don't know if I consider it a podcast, but I made a film, a documentary film using a guy card a podcast as the vehicle to do it. So that documentary that I mentioned I made about going back and tracing the steps of my mission. Like, that's a product of a guy card a podcast because I basically set up a bunch of podcasts interviews with a bunch of people connected to that experience for me and then shot a whole trip of me going back to Pittsburgh where I served my mission and like, you know, just me going to all these apartments and stuff. And then I edited the footage of the actual physical journey in with the clips of me talking to these people where we were talking about things that were specific to, you know, certain spaces and times. So I don't know if a podcast documentary is a thing. My ego led me to believe that I created a new genre of film when I did it. But it's still a guy a card a podcast. But that that existed, you know, between the start of that one in
SPEAKER_02:  art songs and starting to wrap things up, people can find that and other things you at your basketball curve thrown right at your head. Yeah, it's not your name. It's a Blake Rock.
SPEAKER_00:  Yeah, here's how it works. My last name is Blaylock. You got that 100% right. A long time ago, a guy that I was friends with it was a drummer to band. He called me just Levitously. He called me Blayrock just took my last name and turned it into something awesome. I thought it was great. So I've used it for like my production companies and stuff. So Blayrock.com is where you can find all this stuff. BLA, ROCK. And I've got that on
SPEAKER_02:  your email, but I'm writing it in big block letters so that when I add it to the Buzzsprout transcript extended show notes, it'll be typed right. And probably it'll be on the scroll across the bottom of the video versions when I edit. But you know, I think James Corden kind of stole your gig with his carpool karaoke. And also now Jimmy, Fela. You know, on Fox does his taxi driver routine with interviewing people the back, which I think kind of as a steal of cash cab. Probably not as
SPEAKER_00:  good of a one either. Cash cab is awesome.
SPEAKER_02:  Yeah, that was, I was rather interesting, different. Yeah, I remember watching that. I don't know if it's still on or not, but it was interesting format. So indeed, at any way, Adam, blaylock at blayrock.com is where people reach you. You got it. All right, well, thank you, Adam, for coming on the show today. I really appreciate it. It's a good for those looking on the video, they could see you're in your car with cars wasn't by. Thankfully, you haven't crashed. Be careful out there, please. Well, too.

Music, TV, & Politics…

A few weeks back I had a “Lets go to the Lobby for Snacks and Politics” piece and its follow-up “Movies, Snacks, Politics, part 2” so makes sense – lets talk briefly about Music and TV…

But first a brief reprise about Movies – I hope you all caught “They Live” 35th Anniversary this year (while showing in many Theaters September 2023) and if not at Theaters please rent or stream it after you read this. Reminder: “They Live” an early John Carpenter (Writer/Director) piece where he dared to go down ChristiTutionalist Politics line before I coined the term and “Aliens” (the E.T. variety) as stand-in for the #DeepState always moving and manipulating behind scenes. Human-nature of those willing to go-along-to-get-along to Cash in for themselves. The 15-minute (minor exaggeration) I hinted at in the Movies pieces is great metaphorical outline for the verbal back-and-forth we often have with DUMBocrats to get them to see Reality!


VIDEO (3m 08s): Jason Aldean - Try That In A Small Town (Official Music Video):

Music:


#IStandWithJasonAldean (and, yes, too Oliver Anthony)
CMT (Country Music Television) crumbles to Cancel Culture, pulls “Try that in a Small Town” Video. And what my book (Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You) about, not just Foreign Terrorists but USA Leftist Terrorism within & destruction of Western-Culture (as whole, not just US). #JasonAldean #BoycottCMT

I tack this on here, as Patriots in good Independent Studios or Patriotic Producers/Directors need to assure this Song gets on the Soundtrack of their PRO-AMERICA Movies as many times/places as possible!! 

Lastly, I know this is OLD NEWS to a degree and you are well aware and likely heard this story for several weeks already via FOXNEWS, NEWSMAX, OAN, and other outlets (including the ridiculous attempts by Left #ENEMEdia to make this somehow a Racist song calling for violence when the Writers (no, not Jason) and he (Jason) indeed all on the same page as to why they wrote it and why he wanted to Record it. AN ANTI-CRIME and ANTI-VIOLENCE piece, but if/when push comes to shove that we do have a Right to Defend ourselves from it. To protect and prevent our Communities being Arsoned to the ground by ANTIFA and #BlackLyingMarxist Hitlerian Brown-Shirt thugs.

Only the Left and their constant Race-baiting have the gall to say scenes (that show people of ALL RACES) is somehow Racist as an indictment of Black people? Who are the Racists? They are, if they say crime automatically equals Black people! Meanwhile scuttling #BidenCrimeFamily investigations and still creating major reach (stretching beyond all credulity of those Laws intent) on Statutes to try to charge POTUS45/Trump! Spare us the “What about the Lynching that took place at that Courthouse a hundred years ago” manure that no-one knew about until the Leftists #ENEMEdia desperate for a Talking-Point managed to dig up that History. I guess the Hannah Montana and the Christmas Movie filmed there are now also Racist (just like they tried to deem Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” as somehow Racist). When are Black Americans going to wake up to this pathetic and desperate Race-baiting?!?! Whom, in Poll after Poll show they want more police protection from the runaway and rampant Crime happening due to FASCICRATS weak-on-Crime and other failing policies!!!

Thank you to all that emailed or called CMT or Cable Companies that carry CMT and let them know they would like CMT pulled from their line-up as money will be the only thing they understand. As discussed in the BIDENomics pieces they chase the Woke ESG pennies, we must make then suffer huge dollar loses until they learn to stop pandering to the Cancel Culture manure.

A friend of mine posted a Breitbart article titled “Woke Maren Morris Announces She’s Leaving Country Music: ‘Misogynistic & Racist & Homophobic & Transphobic’” (no, not gonna link it) that I would talk about but all our “kind” reactions (here are those) were “WHO?”  And some “less than polite” responses too (including a few snide ones from yours truly). LOL




VIDEO (2m 24s): Adam-12 and Emergency! Crossovers:

Television:

That’s now Movies, Music, but what about TV? May as well take a pot-shot at that too?!?!  I had for decades hoped we’d get a reboot of “The Streets of San Francisco;” like Hawaii Five-O was, and Magnum P.I. was; and while I liked those originals (I did not tune-in for those reboots) but that was long before Newsome, Piglosi, others, have completely destroyed it over these last couple of decades. So, maybe best we can hope for is reboot of Adam-12; though that was set in L.A. which has equally degraded into one of Dante’s layers of Hell, but maybe could be reset into a different City; as a method of bringing traditional values and BACK THE BLUE back; as opposed to all the Trash we’re getting these days (like, sadly, the reboot of Quantum Leap went all WOKE)?!?!?


Some final thoughts:

Now after three-parts total of/for “Movies and Politics (Music and TV tacked on in part 3)” I could go on forever, and probably no surprise to anyone that is a regular reader of mine that at some time in near future I would have a part three (more on Movies, and to pivot to Music and TV) as I now have! 


Follow-up to the piece a few weeks back discussion of one of my all-time favorite Directors/Producers Roland Emmerich (and the part 2 “Movies, Snacks, Politics” piece): Many know Toby and/or Noah Emmerich, two of the people involved in/with the great Movie CELLULAR (with Noah Emmerich*, Chris Evans, Jason Statham, William H. Macy, Kim Bassinger, more) I just rented (via my DISHnetwork OnDemand feature (sign-up with my VCD0026116345 referral code for discounts)) to watch again as it is an A+ (remember, when that film came out was just at the time of proliferation of Cell phones with advanced features and therefore absolute genius script at that time). A good “temporary escape from Politics film.” From GOOGLE (about Noah): On television, the native New Yorker was a series regular on BACKWASH and played the despondent Dr. Edwin Jenner in the two-part Season 1 finale of THE WALKING DEAD. Emmerich's brother is film producer Toby Emmerich, but they are not, Emmerich explains, related to Director/Producer Roland Emmerich. 

The Emmerich lines via DuckDuckGo (here).

Gasp, can you believe it? YES, you’ve reached the end of this article already! LOL Hey, gotta poke fun at ourselves if we are to be able to laugh at others. I am indeed trying to SCALE BACK the length of my pieces! 😊
