TENDING THE GARDEN

Hello to all and those: interested in not only the future of radio, but entertainment and the LIFE surrounding all that we see, hear, feel, taste and smell as well.

What I know I have been experiencing over my years in LIFE is becoming a revelation revealed, how ever slowly it may seem to be taking ... although it is now ultimately reflecting a 'Stronger Belief' that we are all connected to the 'Singularity' and that singularity; has always been inclusive and connected ... on every level that it has become and continues to remain 'My Quest!'

In the expansion of that singularity along those many paths in becoming 'My World' it has been transcending and manifesting itself into 'My Reality' and now while it still is emerging as it has, not only for myself, it is also now becoming for others who can see, feel and hear those active imaginations from a 'Distance' ... and in doing so are very much; bringing themselves 'Closer' into 'Their Realm' and it eventually is becoming ... 'Their Reality.'

As much as a struggle that it has been, I do have to believe it to be a learning and growing adventure that is and has always been here ... but I do have to question the notion of autonomy in asking, "Where did it begin?"

Although the belief of 'It' beginning long before I can comprehend, my initial thought and foray into the broadcasting industry began in 1974 ... which has been leading to some very startling conclusions on not only how the business works, but the LIFE surrounding the business. And to me ... I can choose in making a difference and altering the 'Mainstream' into an 'Alternate Mainstream' which is primarily a shift in the paradigm and into the 'New Cultural Mainstream.'

It is what is happening "Right Here ... Right Now" as I continue holding the 'Thought in Place' so as to 'Live the Reality' as I have envisioned it. Why? Because I am involved in the industry with a desire and a passion that appears to waining in a world that seems to be disappearing from from my view ... leaving me with the feeling that; someone has to 'Grasp and Hold Onto that Memory."

A few people have asked me, "So what do you need?" "How can I help, without the most obvious answer of money?"

In answer to those questions, I can honestly say ... I don't know how to answer those questions, except from my own perception.

First of all, radio itself is in need of passionate and dedicated professionals who can 'think outside of the box' and those people who are unafraid to 'Stand Up' for the belief and future of radio and entertainment ... as a whole.

If YOU or someone LIKE you can 'Grasp' the concept of our 'AIM' in developing not only our Radio station but also alongside the 'Publishing Projects' through video, film, writing, networking and social media, then we need people like YOU. If you wish to be involved on a ground level (although we've been working on it for several years) ... it is something that you, are going to have contribute any work or effort from your side, as you become more acquainted with the company as whole, and in trusting that 'We' can develop the 'Structural Guidelines' as a 'Team' of individuals who are like minded and moving toward the same goals as vested owners of the company.

I think some folks call it 'Sweat Equity' - however the problem remains: most people are not willing to invest 'their time' much less 'their money' unless 'they' have something concrete to hold onto. Primarily because ... there is no guarantee that 'Their' efforts will pay off, or that the 'Trust' is not there ... so it becomes imperative that 'ANYONE' who wants to be involved has to become a part of the 'Entity' and to 'Take Action' and be willing to work in tandem with one another ... 'Feeding Each Other' for the sake of the whole.

I have already been pushing forward with this format and future that I see as promising, and pushing that 'Transformation of Desire and Passion' of a thought that we can be a 'Blast from the Past' into TODAY and Tomorrow.

I have a strong interest not only in radio, which is what we have been developing over the last 6 years with JST KLSX – www.RockandRollHeaven.net –

I am looking to take my very comprehensive business plan to the next level in the hiring of like minded professionals who can ‘Grasp’ the ‘Concept’ Music For the AGES!”

In doing so, I am reaching out to the financial resources who can afford to see the potential of this ‘Concept’ in a light that will return more on an investment in the first year, given the participation from a level as an investor or vested owner.

I have a unique story as being an on air personality on 130 stations across the country, with a philosophical ideology of radio and entertainment … like it was presented back in the ‘Good Ol’ days long before I entered the business.

I know what it means to ‘attract’ an audience, not only from a radio entertainment standpoint with the music, information and entertainment, but also from a visual, print, social networking, promotional and networking point of view. To me; It’s all inclusive and relative to each other in their respective paths – and just as important to the whole of ‘Our Company’ America’s Coast to Coast Entertainment Network.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me, if anyone of you have an interest in the 'NEW CULTURAL MAINSTREAM’ – however please remember … it’s not up to me, it is up to the individual themselves, who can see and take advantage of the opportunity in front of them.

Here’s my e-mail; mason@rockandrollheaven.net --- I will be happy to speak with anyone who are as like minded as industry professionals with the potential for being involved not only as a talent --- but any financial prospects who would be interested not only as an investor, but also as a vested owner in the company.

There are people who are loyal to what we have here, but it does remain to be a 'Catch 22' situation when it's the financial resources that are needed to 'Make things Happen' otherwise we are depending on the volunteer help of those who are 'Showing Up' and 'Taking an Active Interest' without wanting to 'Drive the Ship' but willing to 'Man the Sails' and 'Get on Board' knowing ... 'We're heading for something far greater.'

I am certain that people have heard stories about ‘Great Company’s’ with potential, but this company really does have the greatest potential for being that 'New Cultural Mainstream’ --- and I know it --- after all … everyone has seen the movie ‘Field of Dreams’ with the now infamous comment; “If you build it … they will come!” Well we have been building it --- and I’m still working the fields and tending the garden.

However, please remember .. it is not up to me ... it is your involvement that will be important. I already know what I'm hoping for ... and I want to find not only the professional resources ... I am looking for those financial resources through an investor, who can take us to the next level. This BUSINESS of Entertainment is changing and we are on the CUSP of 'Making it Happen' and I do believe in the 'FIELD of DREAMS;' "BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME!"

I have been trying to come up with a very comprehensive business plan and idea for combining our efforts into a profitable entertainment company on many levels. That in itself is as frustrating as it comes ... believe me!

I am looking for at least 19 professionals who are willing to be a growing part of America's Coast to Coast Entertainment Network. It will take a cooperative effort, and from those with INITIATIVE without the 'Lip Flapping' and, with all that I've already put forth ... I refuse to allow my creative efforts to go unnoticed.

It's Time for the 'NEW CULTURAL MAINSTREAM' ... and I've been working on this garden for a long time. Don't hesitate to contact me either through FACE BOOK or my e-mail; mason@rockandrollheaven.net - but keep in mind --- I'm not here to waste YOUR time, or MINE --- I'm already pushing forward with a format and future that I see as promising. We can be a 'Blast from the Past' TODAY and Tomorrow. It is and will be profitable, when the right people are 'Vested' in the company ... and keep in mind ... there are people who are already here 'Helping and to Tend the Garden.'

It is and will be profitable, when more of the 'Right People' who can help us along the way ... are in the company ... and who are willing to believe that I/We can 'manifest' those images into a conceptual reality, which will become yours too. Think about it. We are and have been 'That Close' to seeing this thing blossom into more of an existence than already exists.

Can you see it ... or feel it? If you cannot see or feel the story in front of you, or become immersed in it ... then ... it isn't worth the price of admission!

“Is Music Radio Dead?” The Answer is “Yes” but “Not Really!”

The question really is not: “Is Music Radio Dead?” Because, the answer is obviously: “Yes” but, “No ... Not Really!”

It does have an appearance of being dead, mainly because the doctors who are working on the patient have ‘No Experience’ in detecting the ‘LIFE’ in the body, or in knowing how to ‘Revive’ the patient lying on the table.

It really is as simple as that! However, it makes no matter where you are listening to radio from ... or from what city, state or country … in the world you happen to be ... for; in this day and age, radio has fallen to the wayside 'Corporate Emergency Rooms' for 'Control' ... not to save the patient, but all in the name of making more money, and simply put: GREED.

But American RADIO stations from the past, aside from the old British Pirate Radio Stations were the ones who were the ‘Masters’ of knowing what was GOOD and how GREAT radio felt when you had the HEART of an audience in your hand!

And now it is not controlling an audience from the 'Tried and True' method, but though 'Dictating a Play list' because 'Corporate Radio' controls the 'Purse Strings' ... and the method of; 'Courting an Audience' and wooing them with the finesse of a great music library, and the experience of professionals who can 'Put it together' for the sake of a grateful listening audience ... is an art form ... lying almost lifeless on the gurney. At least back then, when it was something you could feel ... it made for more exciting memories ... instead of the 'Bland Presentation of Music' with no feelings.

If the business model of a new emerging ‘Cultural Mainstream’ is willing to embrace a ‘Concept’ long forgotten, and to expound upon it, while loosening the reins of the restrictive play lists and adding back into the equation; the Freedom of personality 'Behind the Mic' - it will lead to the 'Spark' that was the 'Golden Age' of radio long forgotten.

It’s not just local radio that is struggling to find it’s feet in a emerging audio media - it is also becoming harder for national radio. This is, by the way, seen from a 'Global Point of View' and not just from an American view.

You can almost believe at least for the non stop music stations ... they will be out of business within the next 10 years, if that long. Online streaming media will take over the music entertainment market ... because an audience is wanting 'That Something More' in reliving of revisiting the past ... today.

When you depend on the latest technology to ‘Drive’ a medium that was once traditionally governed by radio personalities, and forsaking the "art of communication" for a barren environment devoid of any ‘Feeling’ or viable content; is it any wonder the people as an audience are going elsewhere for their entertainment, much less ‘their’ news and information?

The new stations that will survive will be able to deliver not only a 'Wide Range' of music and content, but able to offer and make the connection with the audience through the 'Expertise' of that professional personality who can 'Blend' all of those elements into 'One Dynamic' program.

From a radio personality's knowledge of the music they are playing, to reports and features from radio journalist to the 'Interconnectivity' with an audience through the 'Social Networking' provides something that every radio stations should have plenty of ... but, the personality has to 'Have the Spark' and that 'Mojo.'

The talent in radio stations across the country is there, but now it’s up to the local stations to position themselves for the radio future. Yet, here's the problem again ... money. They don't have the 'Economic Resources' to hire those 'Professionally talented Radio Personalities' so, they have to 'Strike a Deal' to meet the happy medium ... if they want to be in the business for their local audience. The same holds true for those radio personalities.

The future “Radio Experience” will be a lot different in the future, and it’s where we are headed, only we have to be 'Smarter' than allowing ourselves to be 'Fenced In' from a business stand point or from a talents point of view. It is a very fine line.

The new distribution method of radio will migrate to new hardware devices; television sets, tablets, smart phones, fridges and anything else that is connected to the Internet. And this will require radio formats - from mainly the ‘Flow of Media’ to a ‘Push & Pull Media.’

Without a doubt … the ‘New Cultural Mainstream' will have to ... and need to be interactive. The listener will expect to be able to get more information when they want it and need it. They will want to follow a link, see a picture, or even interact with the radio program from their mobile device. They will want and need this ... from not only a local level but also on a national and more growing international level.

This concept will require a number of technical and work flow changes in the new companies providing the content on all levels, but the advantages will be that; the radio station will be visible on multiple platforms. And the combination will be naturally … more exposure whereas the talent will be the basis for new business models for radio stations.

It's what JST KLSX - http://www.RockandRollHeaven.net is all about. When I get those economic resources so I can put those talented resources into play ... LOOK OUT!

SIMPLE & TO THE POINT ... HOPEFULLY!

I realize I may have a lot to say, and in doing so ... I have attempted to explain 'My Dreams' and 'Desires' for JST KLSX that I have been working on for such a very long time.

However in doing so, it's become a 'Quest' in itself and sometimes a little confusing to some, and at times ... perhaps, a little 'wordy' in my attempts to 'Get that point across' to the reader and those who have been following along. I do apologize, but I do know why.

So, if you look at the picture of Mason Ramsey in 1984 and think of the message; "Have Always Been: Living the Oldies" - and "Right Here ... Right Now" I believe it will dawn on you that "Music for the Ages" means we are and have always been 'Connected' in this world ... and the unseen 'Realm' ... at least from my growing point of view.

The concept is and has always been evolving from the beginning of my career not only in 1974, but long before I entered the world in 1956. For I am and have been influenced by the 'World' that I am currently experiencing, from that time, to this time and moving into the future. It not only includes the music, but everything around us including the movies, advertising, politics - but another 'Realm' that is 'Unseen' and harder for some to fathom, including myself.

What does that mean? Simply this: I am creating a conceptual publishing, promotions, marketing and entertainment company that I believe to be 'All Inclusive' and covering a wide variety of paths that all 'Merge' into 'One' which is the 'Ebb and Flow' of our society, which is now globally mutual.

The obstacles we are faced with in this day and age of TIME, are based on ... not only the economic woes restricting 'Any one's Efforts' but to keep 'Pushing the Concept' in a world that 'Most People' do not realize what we are actually up against. It's a world governed by the 'Rules' of business and Investors who are wanting to make money, which is very understandable. But, it has to be done in a manner that will dictate every facet of any operation. So, it becomes a 'Game' of sorts to put together a 'Presentation' that not only will 'Protect' the concept and idea, but will 'Get that Point Across' and it does take a tremendous amount of effort through the skill of a professional, who knows what they're doing. Not only from a business accounting standpoint, but all of those other elements involved in starting a business. But, the bottom line: It's EITHER MONEY to do the JOB correctly, or people who are willing to put in the TIME and SWEAT EQUITY to do the job in bringing that 'Concept' to 'Light' in this hazardous present day TIME.

So when you get to a point in your career, when you are not moving up in a company and your ideas are being systematically taken from you, and you ... are not making a living to support your family or able to 'exist' in the career that you've chosen, because the 'Corporate World' has you pressed against the wall ... what other choice do you have, but to attempt to 'Do your Own Thing?'

So there it is ... you have to work within the boundaries of a world that already has the 'Market Cornered' in the hopes of presenting something new for the future, in an effort to at least 'Be in the Game' and to 'Make a Living' doing what you love and have a passion for in that career. Only we have to play 'Their Game' while gaining the confidence of not only 'The Masses of a Public' wanting the change while that 'Corporate World' is resistant to any new members to the club.

You see, it has been a work in progress for several years now, without making any money, because there is a belief that we're taking something that isn't being done, and bringing it into 'Reality' much like the image of this Root beer Mug with our LOGO on it ... it really does look as if we have an actual product of a Root beer mug, doesn't it?

How do I know ... because I have had people asking if they could purchase a few of these mugs. It is very flattering, but it really is the same thing when you're listening to JST KLSX and can actually hear 'MUSIC for the AGES' in a new FORMAT. People are tuning in and listening and asking for the music they are so missing from the 'Corporate' radio world.

The technology and distribution method is changing ... and I can see it, much less feel it ... and it does take the money, confidence and skill of the professionals developing the concept to 'Make it Happen!' Not only do we need you as a listener, we need your money and your skills ... and if you want to be involved as a listener or as an investor for the LOVE of your music, entertainment and information, it takes more of an understanding of the world around each and everyone ... because ... you are the one, who can 'Make a Difference' and it's not; just the one.

There I said it ... It takes more than one, but it's the ONE who gets the ball rolling, to kick it to others willing to kick it back.

ON THE BRINK & EDGE OF REALITY!

(Please, before you read this ... take into account the depth of thought ... from one to another ... without thinking I may be trodding off down the rabbit hole and that: I may be 'Tripping' on any substances.)

I have been trying to write an 'Article' that is 'All Inclusive' when it comes to 'The World' that we live in, which in 'My Opinion' is currently 'Dictating' everything that we do ... especially when it comes to music, movies, television, writing, socializing, politics, world affairs and networking in the 'One Cultural Mainstream.'

However, the problem is and always has been: not just ... me, but also you too. The primary responsibility will always 'Fall at Your Feet' for it is 'Your World' from 'Your Point of View.' And if YOU don't like it ... begin to change it, but start with yourself ... FIRST!

What does this have to do with radio? Everything! Knowing that it has all of the elements of every single aspect of publishing and LIFE as we know it! This includes the 'State of Affairs' in the U.S. and World Politics as well .... it can't be helped.

You see, I have been on more than just an educational journey, it has become a spiritual quest of learning through TIME, and the constant question; when will all that I have been working toward begin to make sense in the future? Why have I chosen to involve myself in a career that began all those years ago, and to what level will it 'Come to Light' even as I go 'Fumbling Along' ... grasping at my 'Instinctual Feelings' of being in the world, and how is it going to unfold; as it should? Why not the present? I thought everyone else thought this way ... but slowly coming to that understanding: they don't!

And, while the world around me is 'Spinning Away' and I am still working to make 'Sense' out of it all, it just seems to want to 'Spin Wildly' ... especially when it comes to dealing with the other entities on this planet and in this universe.

Even as it seems 'Chaotic' --- I don't believe it is anymore, and this I know; OPINIONS are as subjective as the music, movies and politics around each person ... until those OPINIONS are 'HEAPED' upon another without their approval and 'Forced Against Their Will' to accept how another 'Soul' chooses to act or behave in their 'Attempts' in becoming dominate. Just like any society, big business and Government/s. The problem remains; very few have 'Understanding' and live for 'Self Preservation' while fighting for control of the 'World' in their 'Own Right' while living in the 'Realm' and 'Reality' of what others may believe, without 'Treading' on 'Their Rights.'

We're all the same, but different. Much like the experiences that I have been 'Conveying' to those around me without really trying to do any 'HEAPING' of that 'Opinion' on others ... but only to give those others 'Pause to think' and to understand 'What I am trying to accomplish' with my intentions and goals, even as I fashion them from 'My Dreams and Imagination!' ONLY ... what I do, write and convey can, does and has meaning on the 'Psyche' of others and can, does and will come back to give me ... even more to contemplate ... much less you. How do I know? Because I am living the concept and dealing with the 'Fallout' of those actions through the misunderstanding of others. It's just the way the world works ... and we have to deal with it. There's no such thing as a misunderstanding when you have conscious thought and communication, unless you're dealing with the 'Hate' and 'Ignorance' of others who often feel slighted in 'their' world because 'They do not have that understanding.' And what is really amazing? I didn't come up with it, but do understand it ... and why the world around us, uses 'it' against 'Us' everyday.

What does this mean to me or JST KLSX - www.RockandRollHeaven.net - How does this mean anything? It means something because of what 'I' am going through to 'Make it Happen' while dealing with the other 'Elements' in the 'World' affecting ... 'My World' and hopefully giving 'You' pause to consider those things unseen by 'You' because I have been 'Telling You' what I've been going through to 'Make it Happen.' But, are you paying attention? Some are ... some are not.

Because in ''My World' - it is all 'Relative' to me, and will 'Affect' you on some level. And 'If' it's all 'Relative' to me, then 'It' must affect you ... if 'you' come within the 'Orbital and Gravitational' pull of 'My World.' (I can already see the response coming from the 'Gladys Crabbits' of the world, who don't have the slightest inc ling on how to interpret 'the meaning' of what is being said.) Please don't be offended, it's something that takes a little to understand, if you have a 'Want' and 'Desire' to understand what the messenger is hoping to convey. I too am still working on that 'Understanding' so don't feel bad. I am just as clueless ... but wanting and desiring to Understand.

It all has to do with 'My Efforts' in projecting JST KLSX and the other projects in my LIFE onto the 'World Stage' because I don't know what else to do, except what I like and want to do in LIFE. I have come to the conclusion that NO ONE is going to give me 'That Opportunity' unless I can Do what 'I feel is the right thing' and with that comes; programming a radio station, writing and producing what I believe to be quality projects for a 'Cultural Mainstream' that makes sense to me ... and those like minded 'Souls' around me who enjoy LIFE as I have come to believe it to be.

We already know the world has been 'Spinning Along' with you and I while 'We' both have been 'Bumping Along' picking up those bits and pieces of knowledge 'Emerging' as a 'Reality' and 'Truth' to some, and to another ... totally 'Incomprehensible!'

With that in mind, the 'Truth' and that 'Reality' of an environment that I, myself have been creating for 'My World' has largely consisted of a 'Dream' to be productive, creative, inspirational and 'Self Sufficient' in a publishing world that attracts an audience receptive to not only quality entertainment, but an audience who can count on the 'Truth' without having to question the motives of an organization with ulterior motives.

While people should always question the events in 'Their World' - I am becoming more of a believer everyday in the 'Reasons' of events on the 'The Bigger Picture' although I cannot see it from where I am sitting. Hoping that 'My Actions' may result in helping to 'Paint a Greater Portrait' in the World and Universe I am inhabiting in this 'Realm' and the 'Realm Above Me.' I am already POSITIVE that some of the actions from my decisions have and are affecting even 'One Person' who have taken 'Great Offence' when none has ever been intended ... yet ... it remains that person's desire to become 'Greater' in the Minds of others without comprehending 'their' own self importance and lack thereof. But, that remains 'Their' Choice!'

For reasons beyond my mortal comprehension, and really only beginning to understand that; there have been things happening that stem from my 'Actions' when I have made decisions to 'Move Forward' with 'Plans' toward the future, and it's come 'Under Fire' merely because it affects another's 'Reality.'

I have been wanting to 'Get the Point Across' about the future of 'Our World' but have run into those obstacles, and the idea of being 'Self Aware' is all to alluring. I know this to be true, when those persons whom I refer to as the 'Gladys Crabbits' of the world (a pseudonym for sentinels of the Fake World) and who seemingly are 'attracted' by the world of another, but realize they may be just nothing more than a dead satellite orbiting the planet.

So with that in mind, consider for a moment of being included in the whole of JST KLSX - America's Coast to Coast. It all remains an idea of 'Bringing Back' those 'Times' when you and I grew up in a time of innocence, where nothing has really changed ... except our perception of the 'World' around us.

In deed, things appear more advanced and sophisticated, but are they really? It seems the 'produced' world is becoming more of a Tsunami building to crash against the shores of human civilization. Perhaps that is what awaits us in the not so distant future. How are we to know since we've only been mortally here for as long as you've been walking the planet. Or could we open ourselves to a greater understanding of a 'Time,' 'Space,' 'Dimension' and GOD above us?

The more I look around me ... everyday in this 'World' the more I realize how much I remain as puzzled in a realization of understanding that; 'We' all are nothing more than a 'Memory' on the 'Edge of Reality' ... in the pursuit of happiness. (Buck Owens)

WOW! Imagine that! Can you, or anyone 'Grasp' those moments that we've once shared? Can 'You' stop for just 'One' of those meditative moments; in those moments of 'Your' 'LIFE' that have been shared with family, friends, strangers and even those we haven't met, to 'Believe' that 'We' are but part of 'One' equation, and have been all along? And when I say 'One,' I mean 'Yours' and mine, which equal 'Ours.’

You and I are, and have been sharing the same thing ... all of 'Our' lives ... the Earth; in this dimensional Time and Space. It's enough to 'Make you Jump Up ... Make You Crazy' (Pit Bull featuring Lil' Jon') ... "Boom Boom, I'm Gonna Make Em' Go Crazy ... Your Mama She Gets Crazy!"

Notice how I can include the 'Music' from across 'TIME' into the message? Will you contemplate the possibility from 'My Point of View' that 'You' and 'I' have been living in the same realm all of our lives?

The Realm? 'The World' and, from any 'Point of View' still makes it 'Crazy' (Patsy Cline) especially when you look at what is going on, when 'We' cannot 'Come Together' (The Beatles) for the sake of of a 'Race of Human Beings' no matter what culture 'You' come from ... or from 'Where' you are in the Realm.

There is really no way of 'Expressing Yourself,' without 'Exposing Yourself' to ridicule and controversy. It is a fact that we cannot deny.

When I came into this world, I never knew I was here, existed; or much less thought about it! And now understanding, that I didn't begin to really think of it until things started happening that I have attributed 'That Understanding' to the 'Broad Experiential Experiences' which became that experience and; ‘Understanding Reality’ and boy have I gotten some great lessons.

We have been exposed to the same fundamental principals that govern 'LIFE' ... only in my humble opinion; we have been separating ourselves 'Culturally' and to a greater extent ... 'Socially.'

The 'Purpose and Intent' in today's world means only 'One' thing, which actually compounds itself by the square root of the integer: We must be of the same mind.

Only ... we're not! It goes something like this (Paraphrasing); 'Most will choose the wrong way, only a few will choose the right way.' But, we are all ... "RIGHT HERE ... RIGHT NOW!" Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this and contemplating a response.

SIRIUS XM! ARE YOU SERIOUS?

A tremendous amount of effort has been put forth, when it comes to 'getting through' to people while 'connecting' to people in the 'World' about a 'Concept' for a 'Targeted Audience' that is really as evolving ... as the 'People' in this LIFE itself! Of course I'm talking about 'OUR' radio, JST KLSX, its music and all of the things surrounding that music and radio ... since we've been ... here on the planet ... with the 'People.'


I hope that sort of 'Sums' it up, because in my mind; it is that simple! The simplicity is that 'Baby Boomers' from 1946 thru 1964 are the audience members who are traversing the 'Timeline' of Music in LIFE that does and has 'documented' their memories ... in all of the Hugh Montenegro qualities in this LIFE ... the "GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY!"

I'm speaking of course about radio broadcasting first and foremost, but also I am including all of the things surrounding that industry, which connect ... not only the listener on a music level, but on a 'Plain of Existence' that encompasses 'their' lives in every aspect of 'their' lives, including; connecting with the likes of 'The Individual.' How? It is the movies, sports, news and entertainment of other people which is compounded with every other person in this LIFE because it is the 'people' who find that 'Connectedness' in those other people who are living on the planet through radio, television, movies or even here on the 'Blog' much less being connected through the new 'Social Networking' sites popping up everywhere!


It is this very 'Philosophical Ideal' that keeps me moving, especially when I run into 'Individuals' like Julie Gebauer from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. It was Julie who sent me an e-mail saying, "Mason, do you mind if I write to SIRIUS / XM Satellite about you and your programming?"


"Why no, I don't mind," because I do want to "Get to where I'm going with this Format" and it was with that, that Julie began 'her' 'Grass Roots' movement with SIRIUS / XM Satellite who responded to 'her' constant letters to get someone to notice 'Mason Ramsey's JST KLSX - America's Coast to Coast Entertainment Network. Is it possible to get some notice by a company that is partitioned into more than two hundred channels for listeners? What a great idea! And it worked ... but, can we see it come into existence? I say it can, once we get that 'Someone' to grasp that same 'feeling' that Julie and others have gotten from their 'Desire to listen' and to see it become that 'New Format for the Future.'


Although Julie subscribes to SIRIUS / XM Satellite, she has been tuning in and listening to JST KLSX and 'Music for the Ages!' What a great testament it is when you have someone writing on your behalf and actually getting a response from one of the largest music providers in the world, who are asking for 'Samples' of Mason Ramsey's JST KLSX.


You see, it's people just like Julie who I believe can pick up on the feeling that; she can sense 'There is someone who really enjoys being on the radio' while at the same time recognizing the 'Quality and Versatility' of not only the Music, but the 'feeling' that it leaves with her.

I don't want to seem as if I'm 'stuck in the past' - but, I have to say' "It has been a tale beginning before 2004, but really from the inception long ago from a 'Concept' of music and entertainment from a career beginning in 1974, that makes all the sense in the world today; especially when it comes to the entertainment world."


You see, I want to be 'Doin' My Thang on the radio' so to speak --- almost kind of like the 'Pleasure Thang' - because ... it just feels 'Good!' There is nothing like it in the world, when you're able to have people tuning into a five hour program, playing music, talking to the people and 'putting all of the pieces' together. When it's done right: "It's Magic! And, it's what gives me the goose bumps!"


But here's the problem; "We're living in a world that is partitioning and micro-managing every segment of our lives in controlling, what we see, hear and feel.' The time has come for someone to offer something that allows you and I to experience our lives from the past, present and the future, without having to lose the most important factor ... the 'Human Connection.'


Feeling that we are 'All Connected' and have been 'connecting' through the course of 'Time' ... has given all of us a chance to meet wonderful people along the way on this journey, which brings me to where I am today; pushing a 'Concept' that I've grown to believe is 'Going to Work' because there are too many people who agree, saying to themselves ... "I am so looking for a radio station that can take me through LIFE" without having to constantly 'Keep Searching for the bit's and pieces' through a broad spectrum, that is really so very narrow.' I have seen the 'Concept' work before, and there's no reason that it cannot work in today's world. What's really changed? TIME!


Here's what I think is the 'Irony' of the 'Concept' ... I believe to be unfolding: Little Layla, who is four years old says; "Uncle Mason, they Call this the old stuff? Well it's new to me and I like it!"


Think of that for one second. Even as I was 'Born in the Fifties' - the 'Abbott & Costello' movies, Benny Goodman and the entertainment before 1956 was 'New to Me too!' And it's still 'New to Me' as it 'Still is Unfolding' from the Past to the Present. That thought, sort of makes me feel like I am Marlon Brando in 'Apocalypse Now' rubbing his forehead uttering; "It was like a shot, a diamond - Lightening Bolt striking me ... right between the eyes." (paraphrasing)
The Classic Roots of Rock and Roll, Country, Easy Listening, Big Band or music and entertainment in GENERAL takes on a 'New Feeling' when there is a 'Blend of Music' from the 'Past to the Present' - but, it will take people with that 'Desire' to 'See it all come to fruition.' And so ... it's that 'Faith' in knowing "This is happening for a greater purpose, and I'm just doing my part to see it work."

Now if we can move toward the 'Concept' of having those like minded 'Radio Personalities' who can help 'Make the Connection' with listeners 'All Across the Country' SIRIUS / XM Satellite radio --- there remains "'No Doubt in my Mind' that it would be the 'Biggest Thing' in not just the United States, but the World.'"




I can envision 'Music for the Ages" as one of the 'Music Channels' as JST KLSX on SIRIUS / XM Satellite or on 'Affiliate Radio Stations' across the country, but I know it does take planning, organizing and people to 'Make it Happen' and those are the people who believe ... or "I'm living a very 'Constructive Fantasy!'
If you would like to contact Julie Gebauer, she says: "I'm going to make it my mission!" Julie's e-mail is: gebauer@charter.net who will be more than happy to help add your voice to our growing 'Concept' of 'Music for the Ages!' on a radio dial, radio station, phone, car or computer 'where ever you are in the world.'

HERE IT IS - FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH!

After my last 'Blog Posting' I had to stop; and make this attempt for some 'unknown reason' in at least trying to explain, after the fallout with the last 'Blog' with some of the responses, that have 'touched the nerve' of a couple of people, and ultimately have lost those supporters, but: I know that's the way it goes - because people are 'close minded' and it's already been proven that; 'people are resistant to change' no matter how good it is for them, or how much it may hurt others, and I am no better when it comes to 'That Understanding;' I am sorry for that, but it remains out of my 'control' because I wrote from my 'Heart' and from the experiences that I have been 'going through' ... only it was something that; those few found incomprehensible and flies in the face of 'Their Reasoning' even as I come to what I believe to be: a better understanding. (It doesn't make me better, it just makes me different in my comprehension and knowledge.)

When I began 'doing' what I thought was the 'Right Thing' in 'The World' - it was with a purpose and belief that; I had a dream and passion for 'writing,' 'being on the radio' and a real desire to propel some of the projects that I had been working on into the 'Cultural Mainstream.' Mostly because I could see that 'The World was closing in around me' and I could feel the pressure with no real place to turn. Not really being able to 'make a living' doing what I had been working toward since my career began in 1974, but increasingly being 'Placed in a Box' to conform to this ever changing world by 'Playing the Same Tunes ... Over and Over' while 'Lying' to the listening audience that I would 'Play their Request' knowing that 'it' (the song) wasn't even in the control room, and I could 'Risk losing my job' if I 'Didn't Follow the Rules.' But now I know; it really was for my own 'self gratification' for a place in the world and to do 'What I wanted to do, and to play what I wanted to play' ... because 'it was right and it just felt good' ... and it was music that I felt was being 'Left behind' and it was a thought that - we're moving 'through time' why can't the music?

I know that I wanted to 'Be a Part' of what I could see 'going on around me,' and knowing that I could be every bit as good, not only as a writer - but also as someone who enjoyed being on the radio, loved movies ... and wanted to be a greater part of that existence. I thought it was because I was so disappointed in seeing what was being produced, not only on the radio ... but in the movies and the nonsensical 'crap' that I could see being 'programmed' to the 'Populace' and I still feel like that; There's just a lot of 'crap' being produced and I believe I can do better. Why shouldn't I have that chance in this LIFE?

There was and still is something inside of me that is telling me, that; 'The path is growing narrower' much like the narrowing play lists and programming of radio stations who are dictating the play lists through their economic and powerful means. I know there is something very wrong with that future, and felt that there must be some 'Freedoms' left with the 'New World' but we would have to 'adventure out on our own.' It's not something new, since human beings have been doing it for hundreds of years, even when America broke away from Britain to begin a 'New World' free from the tyranny of a government that was oppressing its people.

Whew! When a person begins to 'speak from the heart' it becomes more of a problem, when it does not fit into the idealistic world of others, who have been programmed to believe 'their LIFE' as they know it ... and suddenly that; may have not been exactly what they thought it was ... all along.

From the experience of living in the world that I am creating, and after 'pulling back the curtain' to see that; the 'GREAT WIZARD' has been an illusion from the moment that I came into this mortal existence. This I do know; from what I've been 'experiencing' with the Justice system and the Corporate world ... I'm getting a good 'Hard' lesson and there must be a 'Good Reason' for the things I have been experiencing, because they are NOT making not making any sense in the 'World' that I've been conditioned to believe existed ... at least in the 'Common Sense' realm that I've come to rationalize as being 'The Common Sense of it all' which is why the very first book I have been writing will have the title "The UnCommon Sense of a Common Man or the Common Sense of an UnCommon Man" once I get that far.

From one moment to the next, it has almost begun to be more and more of a challenge to even keep trudging along to 'keep any semblance' of the truth, when so many in the World are so willing to 'accept' what 'they believe to be' the 'authority' and there should be no questioning that fact. When any person who believes with conviction the TRUTH and has the evidence that is supported by the WORLD, yet is consistently 'made to believe' that what he is seeing and experiencing is 'Not the Truth' even as it 'Glares at them from the written law of the land' then it becomes more of a quest to 'rationalize the truth' to others, if not to 'maintain a person's own sanity!'

It remains that frustrating effort when 'The Truth' is so evident while most are willing to believe 'The Lie' mainly because it's easier to 'Go Along' and to 'Accept it' because they're, in their mind 'helpless' to do anything about it ... and so becomes easier to criticize and understand the 'Bigger Lie' - and to me ... it seems unacceptable, and goes against the very core and nature of 'right and wrong' in a 'person's (human being's) LIFE.

In the learning process, Epistemology - I personally have asked, through my research to find the answers and definitions ... because I want to know;

• What is knowledge?
• How is knowledge acquired?
• How do we know what we know?
Epistemology focuses on analyzing the nature of knowledge and how it relates to connected notions such as truth, belief, and justification. It also deals with the means of production of knowledge, as well as skepticism about different knowledge claims.

It is the same research that I've done in Music, radio, TV, writing and the legal issues that I am currently plagued with, because it affects my situation, not only as person, human being ... but as an American ... and what I'm finding is simply this; WE ARE BEING FENCED IN --- slowly and surely and the people are slow to wake up and see what is happening. While I'm writing I'm listening to the re-make of the political anthem from Buffalo Springfield, "For What it's Worth" and that RINGS TRUE today as it did all those years ago. if not more so NOW!

And what's the song that is following on JST KLSX? - Jackie DeShannon's "Put a Little Love in Your Heart."

I have only asked for people to 'Believe' not just in me, (although it would be nice) but the 'Nature' of the world around us, because in the simplicity of my mind ... albeit I believe in GOD as the CREATOR of the UNIVERSE, and Jesus Christ - I still believe that you and I have a 'Role to Play' in the 'Plan' and it remains a purposeful plan. "We didn't get Dressed up for Nutin." (Braveheart)

I know that no matter what we do in this world, we're not going to please everyone, because there really are two sides to the coin ... a right and a wrong. I explained to someone the other day; "we live on a planet that has two poles, a north and a south pole ... so we really are living on a bi-polar planet" ... and boy does that ever make sense! It remains the same for each and every man and woman on this planet.

People are ridiculed for their beliefs everyday ... but when it comes right down to it; it's their world and they can believe how ever they want to believe ... love any kind of music, food, people or vices they like ... but; it is what it is! I'm sorry to lose a friend over such trivial issues, but if that's how they choose to believe, whose to argue with them? I can only tell you what I'm experiencing at the hands of a World intent on keeping you 'Fenced in' and if you don't know what I'm going through without all of the 'FACTS' before judging me, then SHAME on you - for "What Bodes ill for 'Jack Sparrow' bodes ill for us all!" Get it? (you and I)

"NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT"

There remains a 'Strong' almost an overwhelming need and continued desire to express 'that' ... 'desire' to 'get the point' across ... on this ... this thing that I seem to be involved in, called; Radio / Entertainment. So please ... take a moment to 'Change the Channel' now because, I am going to address a lot of different issues that may seem to 'jump' from one thing to another, which will be an article a little longer than usual, but in my mind ... a Thesis (all) connected to the primary issue; radio, entertainment, publishing ... its audience and LIFE in general. But keep in mind, I am an uneducated man in the sense of today's society, so what I say ... you should heed only with a 'Grain of Salt!' (Seriously ... stop reading now for your own sanity!)


One of the primary reasons for me to start a radio station, as much as being a writer was to: set out on a quest to enjoy the 'Freedoms' that were afforded me, long before I was born, but came to a beginning and understanding after ten years into my career as a radio personality, which I attribute to the 'Real Beginning' of my 'So Called' career in the spring of 1983 in Salt Lake City, Utah.


A career move in that year spoiled me in more ways than just one. There was an ideology that, even within the structure in a format for a new radio station KLCY94FM - there was a 'freedom' to 'connect' to the audience, move music around, take phone calls, produce topical information and place it into the programming that; kept things moving forward, while giving those listening 'that feeling' it was all ... 'Fresh' and 'Exciting.' For all intensive purposes, the management allowed the 'personality' to 'craft' the 'Feeling' of the format to keep that 'Feeling' in tact. Aside from that little bit of programming, the management still maintained a strict play list, designed only for the 'target audience' which was, at the time: a 32 year old female, who according to the research, made all of the decisions for the household. It was in my job description to 'Woo' that female, and 'give her what she wanted,' the; fantasy of 'dropping out' of the rat race, and slipping into another world that, as a personality ... I was creating that world ... only for her. It remains my belief ... nothing has changed.

Although I had been in radio for nearly ten years before Salt Lake City, it was my first major market radio station. I was one of nine personalities chosen in a search across the country, to put the radio station onto the map. It was an exciting time for me, because I was hired by a Corporation who showed me what it was like to be treated as a 'valued member' of a team of professionals. At the time, I did not realize that I was the only one, who had never been in Major Market before, and the one with the least experience, however afterward I learned that I was hired for several reasons; the quality and timber of my voice, personality and creativity, that began to 'focus' more on the emerging picture. I was but a small piece of the 'overall plan' but a piece of the puzzle that brought the picture into focus. I know there is nothing new here, but realize something seemingly to be constantly 'pushed aside' in the evolution of our 'Human Existence' that wants to 'Quell' the furtherance of our doctrines established those many years ago by our ancestors - the founding fathers, and colonist who left the sanctity of their world in search of the 'New Beginnings and Way of LIFE.'

It was that period in 1983 that left an impression on me that I still haven't been able to shake: that, in a round about way begin to teach me about those 'Freedoms' from a major company that was paying for my move, setting up my family and LIFE and getting me adjusted to new surroundings. It was awe inspiring, and now I can see, after that experience ... how a business can be dedicated to the ideology of a project in a marketplace, to make a commitment to 'winning' and dominating the market. Although I saw it from a different angle at the time, I can now see that it took so much more planning and organizing 'behind the scenes' to bring that 'developmental ideology' to existence. But, it wasn't something new, although it was a turning point in my LIFE as there are those 'points' in every one's ... if they choose to pay attention to them. (Most people already get that basic inference ... but choose not to take it further, because they're all much too wrapped up in the 'Moment' - I was no different) Hopefully I will be able to bridge the connection, but at that time and this, it will remain an experience that makes up more of how I came to be where I am currently. Seems simple enough, but not really. I too was 'Playing the Game' but still had no clue, even though I knew 'They Were the Bosses!'


Being 'Wrapped up in the moment' is what was as appealing and the 'Hook' to a broader 'New Awakening' only I wasn't paying attention as much as 'Being Involved' in the community in ways that weren't as clear then but are now: and now, just as important in this day and age ... only now on a much grander scale. The management's connections to the local businesses wanting to be as involved with the radio station, to 'connect' to that 'target audience' for that most obvious of reasons and always ... money! While I wasn't making the kind of money that 'Big Time' radio / entertainment people were capable of commanding, it did give me some of the 'Perks' with my involvement ... mainly because I was being 'Handled' as part of my reward, so I could reach a point wherein the radio station could maximize its potential for market domination. (Of course that's a no brainer and the 'Duh Factor!')


Realizing that it sounds a bit 'Trite' it has led to that 'lust' for educational awareness, at least for me because there is something in my brain that makes me ask repeatedly; "Why did those things happen the way they happened?"


And so, while I continue to muddle along, it slowly becomes apparent that I am having more clarity in my thoughts, or could be just still 'Gumping Along!' There have been more than a few people who have accused me of being saddled with A.D.D., since my thoughts, as much as having a whole lot of passion are responsible for those decisions, which have given other's an opinion that; 'this guy, while interesting' is not one of the normals.

I know this is true, (not being normal) because I've been accused of it far too many times, so I'm going with the percentages as being a notch on the bar, that I've managed to clear ... easily. Even though I did not get through College, my education has been on-going for years, and has taught me that; as a society we have been 'clickish' ... but for want of a better explanation, it also has taught me that it has everything to do with the genetics, bloodlines and very importantly ... the environment.


Growing up a 'Commoner' in a sense as a 'Military Brat' born in the South, but living in various regions of the country as a child, including the West, Mid West ... living in the Orient as a pre-teen, and the formidable years in the beautiful but rugged Alaskan wilderness, if you want to call Anchorage, Alaska wilderness - and you can ... continues to 'Shape my thoughts' on the World I'm inhabiting.


I hope I haven't lost you yet, knowing that I am purposely winding my way through a series of anecdotal, and some may seem trivial nonsense ... but I know that: it has tremendous purpose, when a person begins to 'Wipe Away the Sleep from their Eyes' to see the World as it really is, after 'Not Paying Attention' in those most important years as a child and mis-spent youth. I feel it VERY important to 'tell you' because it is important to me now ... hoping for a 'Better Understanding' of the 'Man' behind the 'Cause.' I continue to look for the clarity and understanding, while possibly 'Sharing the Thoughts' to those who will come to be involved in the 'New Age Mind' in changing the way 'We' believe in 'Our' existence' But who really knows until the 'Moment' presents itself?


But having parents who were as un-educated in the world (and I don't mean any disrespect) because they too were mislead into believing the World worked in a certain way ... that made all that much more sense to them into some of the more obvious 'Rights and Wrongs,' 'Working' and 'Obeying' but also a little something 'They' instilled within me that came from 'Their' upbringing and those ancestors which are likely causing me to question; not only the authority but the 'Common Sense' applications as they appear in this 'Reality.' I can reason that 'My Past Reality' through time may have me focusing in on the: Theory of Morphogenetics or a String Theory of Existence which may be shaping my future in the 'Cosmic' sense.


I hope I'm not losing you, because I am gathering the momentum to bring about an understanding that; this conceptual idea of being a radio station/publishing entity, as much as being a writer, producer, director or whatever it is that I am doing ... has all been a part of the 'Grand Plan' even if I did not know it ... at least consciously. You see, I had no desire to be in radio at the time, but it was something that came about through a series of events that were placed in front of me, allowing me to 'Drift' into a field that I did find exciting, and at the same time overwhelmingly scary. Over the years it's been more mystical as I look back at the opportunities in taking advantage of advancement, but being too 'immature, 'frightened' or most likely and the best possible reason was; being un-educated and sophisticated to act on the opportunity.

Even as I believe in the 'Free Will' and GOD (The Holy Trinity) I also believe in the metaphysical interconnectedness of the 'Entire Universe' that encompasses that 'Science,' 'Astrology,' 'Mathematical,' 'Vibrational Frequencies' and anything involving the 'Electromagnetism' of 'Time and Space' that are GOD, you and me ... at the same time. The LAW of Attraction. Although I do not hesitate in telling you and knowing that; I am nothing more than a 'simpleton' whose idea was to 'Do My Thing' because I didn't believe that I was relegated to working for 'The Man' in a system that is constantly oppressing, what I feel were / are my personal rights and freedoms at the cost of making them 'Rich' while I 'Slaved' to keep up in an ever changing world. You see ... it doesn't make sense to me.

Scientist describe Morphogenetic fields not merely as incipient structures or organs, but as Dynamic Entities with their own localized developmental processes, which are central to the emerging field of evolutionary development – and that; is what is happening in ‘My World’ as I see it unfolding.

There is a 'Shift in the Paradigm' and it has been raging far longer than you and I have been on this 'Plane of Human Existence' . Although I do get the feeling more so now, than ever that, 'We Have Been' here longer than we as Human beings can remember ... only in a slightly different plane of Existence. Using 'My Brain' has become more of a quest in search of the answer to the questions plaguing not just mankind, but me personally not only in a religious application, but through a scientific application; Einstein's 'Theory of Relativity' which has led to Max Planck and others, but again ... I am uneducated and a simpleton. Perhaps only wishing to be accepted as 'bourgeoisie' but in this society, or World ... I did not play the game from 'Whence I came.' (Meaning; born into the wrong class, by blood and not paying attention to the environment when I got here - or, inspired to 'Get the Message' from that early age.) But, it's not too late!

However, I'm not so sure we as a 'Mass' of people (Americans) are recognizing it as fast as we should, because we are still being 'led,' 'controlled' and 'chained' into submission, one by one ... when we have been given the 'keys' to our freedom but fail to use them; not only to our individual advantage but as 'whole race of people.' And, it's not just Americans.

In fact, when we do begin to use the 'keys' and 'knowledge' as 'One' we are often intimidated into a belief that the individual exercising those rights "Must be a crazy fanatical" for thinking 'Outside of the Box.' And, sadly as Plato and others have said in history; it is true.

So when John Steinbeck's last novel in 1961 was published - "The Winter of Our Discontent," the title is a reference to the line "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son [or sun] of York," from William Shakespeare's Richard III, which came back to 'Bite' British Prime Minister James Callaghan in the ass when his term was 'Dubbed' with the same title in 1978 - 1979 all because of the 'Trials and Tribulations' of the working man caught up in the labor disputes during that bleak and bleary winter during when there were widespread strikes by local authority trade unions demanding larger pay rises for their members, because the Labor government of James Callaghan sought to hold a pay freeze to control inflation. "Gotta keep the man in his place!"

So what has changed? In the course of human existence, men have been seeking to control other men for their 'own' self gratification and gain ... the GREED of the few over the despair of the many.


It is to this end, that I had been 'pushing' my agenda with the help of a small group of individuals in creating a radio station / publishing entity that could possibly break out of that cycle of 'Corporate Controllism' which undoubtedly leads to poverty for most, because has been destroying 'Capitalism' in its purest form, which is competition in a 'Free Market.'


But, I am a small potato without the resources presently, because ... I don't have the educational background, and as far as I know ... the genetic bloodline, even as I keep striving for the 'prize' ... wondering; 'What difference does it make?'


But while I look to the future, I struggle with the presence of MIND that GOD / the UNIVERSE does have a plan with both YOU and I in it ... and this is not being done in vain. I have to BELIEVE that WE will be able to exist on this plane and it may be causing a greater destiny to unfold for the existence of Human Kind, and for whatever reason "We're Going to Play A Major Role."


... I want to remain a 'Free Man' to live doing what I LOVE, in a country that will allow me the ability to communicate openly under the SUPREME LAW of the LAND that was formed by a CONTRACT called the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES and nothing less than being ALLOWED to LIVE as our forefathers and GOD intended; "LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!"


Every now and then a mutation occurs, and it could be that; we're experiencing a NEW WORLD coming to LIFE, but not the one of being saddled with a burden of oppression. It was one of the reasons that I believe we're 'Creating' a radio station/publishing entity that may have its own purpose in the ultimate WILL, and some call it GOD'S WILL - since I couldn't stand being 'regimented' by the authority of having to be 'Placed inside the Structure of Rules and bound by the Authority.' Although, I am NOT an ANARCHIST! We do live by rules governing a society, just not the ones meant for the few over the many.

In summation; I know we have to LIVE by social standards and cannot infringe on the rights of others, but I can only continue in the 'Faith' that there is a 'Desitination' and 'Purpose' unfolding, and it's not my vanity pushing to surpass that of any other, but only to enlist your continued support in this quest for a new company that will help deliver a measure of contentment. I need your help, and want your support ... I need your trust.


the problem is: it's JUST TOO DAMN AGGRAVATING trying to explain what I want to do ... without the financial resources to do it ... because ... people are 'CHAINED to THEIR EXISTENCE' and afraid to 'STEP Up and OUT!' I think I have ... but maybe I'm that cartoon character ... running over the cliff, hanging in mid air, for a split second, holding up the sign ... with the expression on my face of "OHhhhh DAMN!"


If you made it this far and want to make a comment that what you've read is just 'Too Much' - I warned you to stop reading for your own sanity, because it's my thoughts that are important to this quest. If you can understand and connect the dots ... then you know what I'm up against, without me ... really having to tell you, what's really going on.
