I  don't have kids... but(t) I worry for 'em, and the future. you know? For example, how are kids supposed to learn and understand the difference between right & wrong, or the principles of "liberty, equality, fraternity", when the leader of the nation (in theory, a role model no? lol) is a convicted Felon driven by greed, cruelty, and zero ethical values? How?! Hoooow? Sigh... 

If only we could measure the true (tragic) cost of FOTUS Machiavellian Slaughter of our constitutional rights, and the law in general. Or at least educate the Great people of Murica, by publishing National and International #democracy dashboard index that clearly show this country is the class dunce in pretty much everything that matters long term? PRO-life people, for example, how about looking at a comparative infant mortality rate on the daily? Did you know Cuba, and basically most other countries (!) are significantly safer place to have a baby, i.e. keep the baby & mother alive as opposed to not...

I hear grandiose narcissists and Christian supremacist can't stand #accountability or any form of #SHAME 🏴‍☠️ So, I dunno, man, systematic data-driven comparisons may help wake a few bamboozled brains up, perhaps?! #argh

♾️🤳 "Mass Media Freakshow" is a quirky @bananasutra EP, mostly made of burlesque and jazz quacks, and a quirky folk finish... #diy lyrics inspired by #terrencemckenna a silly hot pink ducky and my pussy (lol):   "Not to know one's true identity is to be a mad, disensouled thing — a golem. And, indeed, this image, sickeningly Orwellian, applies to the mass of human beings now living in the high-tech industrial democracies. Their authenticity lies in their ability to obey and follow mass style changes that are conveyed through the media. Immersed in junk food, trash media, and cryp-tofascist politics, they are condemned to toxic lives of low awareness.Sedated by the prescripted daily television fix, they are a living dead, lost to all but the act of consuming." #meow #freakshow #inbed #onair

PS: errata : cover says EPx16 but(t) there's only 13 tracks--this is not bc I'm superstitious, only bc I'm a bit stupid, and definitely lazy too lol  ;)

[05] Mass Media Freakshow - chanson encore oh boy BURLESQUE

Duck Gone MarLoco is a bluesy tragicomedy kind of banjo song, perhaps even a perfect murder  about a mighty nasty felon fool fond of fake news and (real) plastic straw true story, ha... #ahem #nocomment ... 

PS: please shout out if you seen some lost American constitutional rights round tho, yeah? Gracias, amigos ;)

Happy to share lyrics if anyone cares, just ask, please (I'll be in a bleached Florida pool, orhiding behind a coconut palm tree on a gold course, investigating the new kind of FAsharks crime that literally can blow minds ;)

“Okey Dokey (No It's Not)”
bananasutra ©️ lyrics + #aivoice on #sunomusic

…

Woke up this mornin' felt so strange
World's on fire somethin's changed
Looked out the window, sky’s all red
Is this a nightmare, or are we all dead

People runnin' around pants on fire
Dogs running wild who’s not a liar
Cats on the roof singin' like they’re angels
And ‘em Monkeys in crowns no, not stable

Okey dokey no it's not
Turns out life's just a mad plot
True crime LIVE it's not all fine
Damn the world is outta line

Went to the store they sold no bread
Only fake mustaches instead
Raining popcorn  fell from the sky
Guess it's time for me to say goodbye

Walls are melting colors whirl
In this upside-down twisted world
Spinning round can't find my feet
Oh well ain't life so sweet

Okey dokey no it's not
Turns out life's just a mad plot
True crime LIVE it's not all fine
Damn the world is outta line

[06] Queer Almighty - Queer Enough to Cabaret - BANJOsutra

… because life on earth is a Psychedelic Cabaret, and “music is the only religion that delivers the goods” (like Frank said). 

To be clear, all I really know is I dunno shit about fck (like Socrates said:)—music and songwriting included. But(t) I feel it, the music, so damn deeep in my soul! I’m just a humble existential fool, a silly banana who likes to play and share, to question and learn. Words are my oldest best friends, hearing myself sing is a freaking miracle (trust me on that lol), and I believe curiosity and #gratitude are the keys to happiness… So voilà, there’s that.

Also, (if you’re curious) BananaSutra is not just a made up BS brand kinda word, it’s actually the name of my DIY Bible—a collection of songs telling true stories of faith, to help me (and perhaps you) make sense of a world gone wild, like bananas gone foul in shallow ignorance and deadly malevolence… Think of it as an agnostic testament of sorts, an audio book of songs with quirky lyrics about things that matter, like the definition of right and wrong, and the meaning of truth, joy, justice, peace, grace, and awe 🕊️

Some call it Artificial Intelligence, but(t) I call Authentic Imagination, Alternative Ideas, Augmented Innuendos, Abstract Illogisms… hopefully, you get the gist? The point being, life is the story we tell ourselves and LYRICS matter—each @bananasutra song has a wondering root and a loving purpose, guided by one of (my) 7 (bananas) sutras: 
- KNOWsutra : is it fair?
- BLOWsutra : is it foul?
- SHOWsutra : is it fun?
- GROWsutra : is it fear?
- FLOWsutra : is it free?
- GLOWsutra : is it fab?
- BOWsutra : is it awe?
