My Music Video: "Did You Ever Notice Reality? It's Right Outside Your Door... Take a Walk in the Woods... Unplug... and Experience Nature... "



Lyrics:
Did You Ever Notice... Reality? It's Right Outside Your Door... Take a Walk in the Woods... Unplug... and Experience Nature...

Did You Know It's Possible to Do Ecstatic Dancing Without Buying A Buncha Plastic Crap... Wayfair Is Lying... The TV is Lying... Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up NOW! 

Did You Ever Notice That Doctor Drugs Kill Millions? What About The Endless List of Side Effects? Why Not Just Eat Organic Fruits and Vegetables? Then No Doctor Drugs are Needed... 

CIA, NSA, FBI, DOJ, DARPA, MKULTRA and EIEIO Think for Yourself and Question Authority. [2X] 

Go Ask Alice... To Legalize Magic Mushrooms? Why Not Let Doctors Decide... Why Not Let Patients Decide... Instead of Bribed Politicians...The Puppets of Big Pharma... 

What Have We Learned from COVID 19? Mainly that we are Going to Have COVID 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and an Endless Stream of Tropical Diseases...

HINT! Save $145 by NOT Buying a Ticket to Dead & Co at the Sphere in Las Vegas. I Bet you Would be Able to Hear the Music and See the Lightshow from Outside... and Then you Would be able to Spend that Money on "SOMETHING ELSE!"  I Remember Going to The Further Festival at the Shoreline in Mountain View and enjoying the show from a Grassy Knoll with the poor boys overlooking the Parking Lot... It was a Very Long Concert and about Halfway thru I Walked over to a Chinese Restaurant... and when I got back they were still playing Music... including a Sample of a Train Whistle that totally fooled me... I asked the man sitting next to me: "Where is the Train Around Here?" and he responded: "It's a Synthesizer Onstage..."

I also Remember the Reno Hilton Steve Miller/George Thorogood Concert... outdoors... and we could hear it Great from the Parking Lot... at the end of the concert they played a 12 bar blues song... and both men traded lead guitar riffs... THAT was EPIC.

The REAL Reason I won't be going to the Concert is... I'm too old... Walking a city block is exhausting and I have to sit down... a major adventure is beyond me... The Price is not too high when I consider that Hotel Rooms are VERY Cheap!

What's bad about being Old is: The Rainbow Gathering will be in California this summer and the Idea of a Long Hike and sleeping outdoors is no longer something I want to do...

Grateful Dead fan art by gvan42


and then Joe Blow Said on FaceBorg...

First and foremost I am proud to be an American and that the grateful dead originated in the United States of America. I have a college degree in psychology and sociology.in doing so over the years I have learned much about myself as well as the people that surround me. I am tired of making comments of the ken ,Barbies and biffs who choose to attend the sphere shows ...though I may post a humorous pics or two. In reality America is the melting pot of the world. The introduction of the Internet and social media has changed everyones life. As is known change is a constant in this world and we all have to adapt at at one time or another. Yes, I am of the elder generation now but I was young once as were you. I chose to be with the best and wisest people I could meet at dead shows and learned to appreciate the music that feeds us all. As a whole looking at the big picture alot of people still want to experience a dead show because it is a special thing. I respect that. I was blessed to see the band many times front row. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. I am thankful to feel part of the family. Things have changed. God bless the original members of the band for keeping the fire going. All I ask is that for those newbies to respect the elders who are there truly for the music. It's like a religion. It's not all about the drugs. All comments welcome.

Religion is an existential threat to humanity... because it has been weaponized by those who believe in it. Simply, supporting and believing in it does us no justice in the bigger picture of stewardship of our planet. In fact it holds us back.
Look, the only way out of this is to make it cease to exist. And learn from it. Realize as a populace that it is a form of indoctrination (and therefore brainwashing).
Actually, to me it seems as if religion is already imploding, perhaps with the spread of the abundance of information being passed via the internet. For sure, information is power.
Sometimes I wonder if we will see the discovery of intelligent alien life during our lifetimes. Like out in the open info where no one can deny their existence. Certainly that would be the final nail in the coffin of organized religions, would it not?
'Certainly' may be a reach. Admittedly.
In my mind, the Conservative Movement remains the foremost threat to our democracy and likely our entire future. The climate isn't waiting for us to take ourselves out... it is actively changing before our eyes and we are doing little to change ourselves. It makes us wonder why they would call them Conservatives. They ain't conserving anything other than their dying ideology stemming from systemic racism and religious bigotry. And what we need instead is to move forward and learn how to adapt to what is coming.
There's some certainty in if they win the day though. Because certainly we will never make it if the conservative movement moves takes full control of our government which moves us backwards. We will eventually cease to exist due to our own accord. No, the only way to get through this is to bring truth to the table and vote out those who would have us thrown in prison (just because we vote differently). Vote those out who hide behind the bully (pulpits)... for they are the weak ones.
The most important election of our lifetimes is right around the corner. Definitely resembles good vs. evil in my book (i'm an ex-catholic, recovering).
Bu if we elect rational human beings capable of empathy and critical thinking... who is critical of faith-based philosophies (the cause of so many wars and hardships) - but which can work with the other side a bit - then we stand a chance to see our way through this dark era of the MAGA movement in our country. And perhaps then the world... would follow and revert to more liberal policies which provide safety nets and more thoughtfulness to the climate. And we could tax the churches and use that money to help the local communities and provide shelters to the homeless, with prospects as incentives.
But the ...as evidenced by... examples continue to pop up all around us - on the dailey. And what it really comes down to is we simply need to do more to stop and even reverse the damages we've done to our planet and the species on it.
Enter Science. Because we don't figure shit out by praying.



The sensory input devices on the front and sides of your head are scooping up data from the roil of energy all around you and streaming it to your onboard biocomputer, which uses these vibrations to construct a concept of what the world must be like beyond the confines of its bony encasement.

I Question IF We Will Still Need To GET "REAL ID from the California DMV?" The Goal Was to Harass Illegal Aliens... and... Since Trump Lost... Is Hate A Priority Anymore?

HEADLINE: Best Music Playlists For Psychedelic Therapy Are Explored In New Johns Hopkins Study. 

Psychedelic therapy sessions often incorporate music—and typically that music is of the classical genre. But new research out of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine suggests there may in fact be no special value in playing a Mozart concerto or Chopin étude for tripping patients.

Gongs could work just as well, if not better, the study found.

I was able to Look up Online Exactly Where the Curfew Was in Sacramento and Thankfully HER neighborhood was not effected. This is an Example of How The Insanity of The Police Changes the Lives of Ordinary People. All this Lady wanted to do was Drive to Work from Home But... Since we have Madness in the USA... She was Worried about being Attacked by Monsters. I Live in an Old Folks Home and We Employ Many Immigrants to Cook, Clean and Do Laundry.

'Long Strange Trip' Official Trailer (2017) | Grateful Dead Documentary


NOW I've Become Interested in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Israel Movement. With The refusal to let American Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar enter the country... there must be something of interest there... AND NOW, 8/16/2019, ISRAEL FLIPS! They will allow Rep. Rashida Tlaib to enter country for humanitarian visit... OOPS, WE BAD! But they will NOT allow a visit from Omar...

Trump tweeted that NET and YAHOO! should not let them in... Up until now, I just figured that Jews and Muslims have been Killing each other for over a Thousand Years and they will probably continue to Kill each other for Another Thousand Years... and that's their business... What if they do kill each other... so what... Are There Not Too Many People Alive on Planet Earth? What IF we reduce the population by some Crazy War in the Middle East? Do We Really NEED Those People Over There? Sort of like caring about a Suicide Bomber... Just Glad He's Dead... 

There is a website called BDS that tells one side of the story about Boycott, Divest and Sanctions... The movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians... AHH... Now I get it... It's all about Israel Killing Palestinians! Well, I still couldn't care less about this subject... I do remember News reports of Israel Killing Protesters but... I changed the Channel... I also remember that a Teacher in Texas had to sign a Pledge that she would NOT Boycott Israel before she was allowed to Teach School... That seemed odd... Why would a School System in Texas Care? and I DO remember the Bass Player for Pink Floyd is in favor of the BDS Movement... However... I choose to Not Care... BUT MAYBE I'M WRONG... MAYBE ISRAEL IS DOING EVIL... COULD BE...

https://bdsmovement.net/

WIKIPEDIA SAYS:
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (also known as BDS) is a Palestinian-led[1][2][3] campaign promoting various forms of boycott against Israel until it meets what the campaign describes as Israel's obligations under international law,[4] defined as withdrawal from the occupied territories, removal of the separation barrier in the West Bank, full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and "respecting, protecting, and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties".[4] The campaign is organized and coordinated by the Palestinian BDS National Committee.[5]

Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich FAILED TRAGICALLY... We'll all be going down into Global Economic Collapse due to his BRAINDEAD BUSINESS ACTIONS... The biggest contributor to the $4.1 trillion that will be added to the national debt through 2029 is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This signature tax cut legislation signed by Trump in 2017 single-handedly increased the debt by $1.8 trillion, according to CRFB.

What about a FREE One Way Airplane Ride to Tierra Del Fuego in Southern Chile for Illegal Aliens entering the USA?

Instead of Building More and More Tent Cities in Texas, What About An Instant GTFO Ticket? It would take them a long time to walk from the tip of South America to The USA... and Many simply would find a wonderful place to live WAY FAR AWAY FROM HERE...

The Scientology TV Channel has a Show: "The Truth About Drugs." - Mostly Accurate: Drugs are Dangerous. However They DO NOT Ask The Question, Are They Worth It?

True: Skiing is Dangerous but TOTALLY WORTH IT. The excitement of swooshing down a snow covered hill is worth the chance of breaking a leg... Not Worth It for ME, but many choose to SKI.

True: Driving a Car is Dangerous but TOTALLY WORTH IT. You might get into an accident but you might be able to travel thousands of miles away from home...

True: Drugs are Dangerous BUT... ARE THEY WORTH IT?

For Example:

Marijuana makes Rock Concerts More Fun. I went to an Allman Brothers Concert without smoking weed and the Music was TOO LOUD and the Guitar Solos were TOO LONG and Seemed Pointless. Seeing the Grateful Dead while Tripping on LSD is an experience UNPARALLELED in any other Music experience or RELIGION. Why read a book about Moses Talking to a Burning Bush when it's possible to Talk to God Directly?

Psychedelics gave us the Later Music of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly,  The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver, Country Joe and the Fish, Moby Grape, Sopwith Camel, Steve Miller, The Eagles, Buffalo Springfield, The Doors and The Who... Scientology has not produced any Great Music...

Opium Gave us "Alice in Wonderland" and "Thru the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll. and "Manuscript Found in a Bottle" by Edgar Allen Poe.

It's True that Edgar Allen Poe had a Horrible Life... Alcoholism and Opium Addiction... but... He wrote some great Tales...

and Psychedelic ART? Fillmore West Concert Posters... Peter Max... Joe Parker... Robert Crumb... Rock Music Album Covers...

and the Computer Programs like Adobe Photoshop and Paint Dot Net have MANY tools that create psychedelic art... I assume the felt there was a market for Psychedelicizers and wrote code to deliver that to people...

ANOTHER SUBJECT that the Scientology TV Show Fails to address is: Should Drugs be Legal?

Obviously, Marijuana should be legal as Many States Have Legalized it with Positive Results. Millions of Lives have been Ruined by Incarceration. The Prisoners AND Their Families.

Should Psychedelics be Legalized? My Opinion is Medicinal Psychedelics Should Be Legal. Many people have benefitted from The Psychedelic Experience when considering Mortality... Others have NOT. The man who had a Travel/Cooking Show on CNN Committed Suicide... Anthony Bourdain says that as a young man he ate Orange Sunshine brand name LSD... I would think that would PREVENT suicide...  I guess I was wrong...

Legalization would improve the QUALITY and PURITY of Psychedelics. Often Illegal Drug Salesmen sell DOM and Call it LSD... DOM causes a Three Day Trip that most people find so unpleasant that they go to the Hospital... Desperate to Stop Tripping... If SANDOZ Labs were making the LSD we could be assured of getting PURE Quality and a KNOWN DOSE. Some people find that 100 micrograms is a great trip but 400 micrograms is JUST TOO MUCH. Consumers would be given the choice of how much to take. When I was a teenager many doses were 400 mics but by the 1990s 100 mics was standard... OR THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY... I have no IDEA what I was eating...

I found that a Large Dose of Psilocybin Mushrooms was Scary but a small dose was fun. I remember going to The San Jose Convention Center the Day BEFORE a Car Show... I just walked in and looked at everything including the Brand New Volkswagen... No One Challenged me or asked for a ticket... or any thing. Then I went next door to the Public Library to work on my website and I noticed that all the Librarians seemed frightened of me... I guess a Giant Man Tripping on Mushrooms Appears to be a WOOKIE... and should not be confronted... The next day I was telling my boss at work about the NEW Volkswagen and How wonderful it looked and He asked my what color the bug was... I did not know the ANSWER to that question because to ME, it was Paisley... so I lied and told him it was Blue.

Peyote should OBVIOUSLY BE LEGAL. and it is for Members of the Native American Church.

Some Couples Counsellors say that MDMA is good for healing Marriages.

The Law says Opioids that you get from your Doctors are Legal... and Kills Thousands of People Every Year.

Coffee seems safe... or at least, I'm going to keep on drinking it Forever.

Tobacco is VERY Addictive and Causes Cancer, Emphysema and COPD. It's Legal.

FOR ME, Smoking Marijuana is not good... When available, I smoke all day every day... When Oregon Legalized, I smoked One Pound in Eight Months. Then I Stopped Smoking and took a driving vacation to The Deserts of Nevada. Can't have an Illegal Drug in the Van... I always met Police. SO, NO Withdrawal Symptoms like with Addictive Drugs Like Tobacco or Opium. However I DID Remain Stoned for about a Month. I DID See things that Were Not There. I DID Make Decisions based on Events That Did Not Happen... OOPS...

and another thing... Since I quit Smoking I have made 53 Music Videos of me Singing and Playing the Guitar... While I was Smoking I Made 4... AND While Playing the Piano Stoned I use too much foot pedal... and the rhythm is not smooth... even while playing composition I wrote myself... my brain was having difficulty remembering what chord came next.

I did a Scientific Study of Drugs and Chess Playing Ability. I Had a Chess Computer that would play at different levels... I played on different drugs... Coffee made me a better player, Marijuana and Alcohol made me worse. I couldn't play at all on LSD... The experiment was not interesting.

Alcohol is TRULY a Dangerous Drug. Thankfully I Joined AA in the year 2000. Quit Drinking, met a lot of Interesting People. Married one of them. In the end stages of Alcoholism a person Gets Delirium Tremens... a horrible hallucinatory nightmare world... That's what they say.

"Yesterday Upon the Stair I saw a man that wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh How I wish he'd go away."





Music Video: "Fearless" by Pink Floyd. Cover by Gregory Vanderlaan Guitar, Vocals...

https://youtu.be/R9B7OSxjwOk 

LYRICS:
"You say that hill's too steep to climb. Climb It.
You say you'd Like to see me try. Climbing.
You pick the place and I'll pick the time.
And I'll climb that hill in my own way,
Just wait around for the right day.
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down, hear the sound of the things you said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
and who's the fool who wears the crown?
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow
You look down, Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd"

at the end of the song there is singing by the Liverpool Football Club... "You'll Never Walk Alone" the team song...



"You'll Never Walk Alone" by Rogers and Hammerstein sung by Gregory Vanderlaan.

A heroic Ballad from the Musical Carousel. Famous for being sung by the fans of the Liverpool Football Club... and they perform on a Pink Floyd song "Fearless" from the record "Meddle." This one is sung acapella because it's simply too difficult to play on the guitar... 


When I Lived in Almaden we played "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd while driving over Blossom Hill Road.

"The Grass was Greener... The Lights were Brighter... With Friends Around... The Nights of Wonder... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jMlFXouPk8

My roommate was an original IBM Child growing up in that Utopia... I rented a room in the 1990s in an original Corporate House... He put that song on at just the right time so those lyrics came on when we crested a hill and saw Almaden. And Every Word Was TRUE...

Chords and Lyrics to "You'll Never Walk Alone" one of the greatest songs ever... and part of the Pink Floyd song "Fearless" as sung by the Soccer Fans.


You'll Never Walk Alone

          C             
When you walk through a storm
            G
Hold your head up high
      F         C           G       Gm
And don't be afraid of the dark
       Dm           Bb
At the end of the storm
        F    Dm
Is a golden sky
         Bb     Am    G   (F)   E
And the sweet silver song of a lark
     F               E7
Walk on through the wind
C                    D
Walk on through the rain
              C         Em         F       G         
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
     C        C7
Walk on, walk on
      F            D
With hope in your heart
            C Em  Am    Em     G
And you'll never walk alone
        C Em  F   G  C
You'll never walk alone
