Makes one regard humanity as rather puny and fortunate to share Earth with The Forces and Mother Nature. See the people? That suckered is wide too. Pele is having her day.
X in duo 2010 laying it down what the condition is with a song written In 1987 and they could have written it today.
So. This condition has been the nature of what was for a long long time creeping into being normalized and now it's got a head of steam, they are going for it, they are doing it out in the open.
If you are outraged tell your neighbor, tell a stranger, tell someone why. You dont have to carry a sign, you dont have to risk your life in non-violent civil disobedience (sad, huh). The best thing we can do is talk to each other peacefully. Its that easy.

Teach me to be real
EXISTENTIAL PUNK
I punk therefore I dig.
I dig therefore I plant.
I plant therefore I sow.
And so therein lies the Reaper
PERIOD, GO!
Where'd all the periodsgo?
Where IS all the. periods?
Gone the way of lepics and era's?
Should I look under the Millennium?
Did some end up under there?
You know what I I suspect?
The Roaring Twenties might be
Missing a period
ITS SATURDAY
The alarm clock rang. Oh my God,
It's Saturday! I DONT want to go to work
God did NOT answer my prayer.
I got his answering machine
THIS IIS GOD.
I was up all night playing with the Goddess
It's Saturday dude. I'm sleeping in
PROOF!
It was ungodly hour
I strongly encourage anyone who believes live music is better bumper stickers should be issued even if you never been there. Superior to The Belly Up or even The Goldem Bear. To call it a Tavern or a Club is not factual. Was the performance area really an abandoned swimming pool? Could it have formerly been.a YMCA? And why did I never make it backstage! I don't know!. i don't even know what to call it, Establishment! That works
The rear swimmimg.had a stage in the deep end of the pool. There was a very long bar in the middle section and the entry foyer was an atrium/ restaraunt featuring Weekend Brunch with Jake and the Abalony Stompers who coulda been from New Orleans. Old guys really swinging the dixieland so raucous.
Support The Catalyst by donating or signing petetion. Even if you never been there. Take my word for it.
Im painting a.picture for you.. Evokes a multitude of emotions within me. I'm compelled to share my experience. I'll tell you about the numerous bands I've seen there and the many times I've stood at the bar. Talking Heads
Others for sure, uh but its hazy, my drinking days. Huey Lewis and I sat next to each othet and had a very lovely conversation. Ill try to re-member more bands. REM, $5 didnt know him David :huge polyesyer shifted Lindley I never missed him that first show. Im sure I was present when Ry Cooder sat in and they recorded a popular video of Mercury Blues and Jesus on the Mainline.
Chongon! Dr Loco ( prof from ucla) and the Rocking Jalapeños with Jerry McGinnis the Chinese Doctor_mercenary I knew from 8th grade on the night I drove hos mom to the hospital where my second son was born not to mention my first date with his mom. I had free passes, he looking and acting like Madonna,l asking me to address her as "Plus One" forever.
The Catalyst (what a perfect thing to call it) survived the Loma Prieta earthquake. Or, I was sitting upstairs as far from civilization as could be watching Big Audio Dynamite and didn't know the codeine for my sprained ankle didn't mix with the glass ofwine I .pounded,(never been a pill guy) and almost passed out at the table but she had the moxie to dash and get two bouncers to come to the corner. I was so impressed that not only did they believe her, they were most gracious and deftly fireman carried me through the crowd with hardly anybody noticing.
One thing about the Cat, classy through and through. I was standing out front under the marquee as a show emptied out and saw Rob Breszny lead goof for World Entertainment War, iconic not an urban shaman and one.of my favorites certainly admired and even though not my usual way I found myself walking up to him hand out for a shake and saying my name. Ill never forget it. Rob exclaimed lo enough so everyone could hear "You don't have to introduce yourself! You're Scott Maddox of Borrowed Tunes KUSP's Sunday overnight show! You are the only dj who plays us on the radio!" To this day I don't think I've ever been so flattered. I havent even mentioned the eccentric owner. Randall Kane.
As usual ive been brief and conscise. Good thing i didnt go on and on. You must have a portrait of it now. Well there are a dozens of tens of thousands of Santa Cruzians who.over the many years probably have stories better than mine

IN HER FACE.
THEY SHOT HER FACE
Copyright Scott kiyoshi Maddox 2026
Pacem people bring the pacem for gosh shake?
In her face. In her face!
They shot her in the face
Because they knew they could mm mm
Speculative? they liked it
For sure pretzel logic
They did make it
irrefutably good
mmmmmm. Human nature
Mmmmmm.
We do it so we can sleep at night
Speak to our children.
So this doesn't happen
Not realize you haven't
Mmm looked in the mirror
For days.
These are poor sick men
Who recruit men more poor
More sick sick as surrogate.
But they know it is wrong
Deep shoved in some cavity
Protected. With immunity
Which doesn't make it mo wrong
In her face. In your face
Really wrong maybe as wrong
As it gets. That is why they like it
Poor sick men must go
To desperate means
if you want to feel that good
Doing wrong.
I mean. They shot her
Microphone dropped hard.Does this thing still work,?
Testing air one two three.
One thing I been wondering
For a while now
What happens when city po po
Face off in single file
As service to the citizens
When ICE dodo locoe motherfuckers mob. Mob
aint no motherfuckin lines
That's line 34 you want
This is the No Line
Wannabes. Thugs.
Self trained poor sick men
Cream of the crop.
In protection two line face off.
Who shoots first?
It's speculative short odds
Don't you think?
Because we forgot to feel.
How does it feel?
But that's not why I graback mic
What I want to know, from you
Really
Who shoots first.

THE HEN CROSSED ON FOOT
Copyright Scott kiyoshi 2026
I was stuck on the 405 and it was the typ of stoppage
where doors opened and people strolled abouti
Conversing in familiar sharing a common oddity. And I sat in the car
Suddenly thought “I should record this and with no pretense
Or thought watched this delivered to my tricorder.
I grabbed the hen and this other guy walks up to me
Calm as could be he take the bird and says
“FOOD”
I knock my head and say
“Your not thinking of eating that hen are you?
Because you are right, Lays eggs and in this time
Of Apocalyptic social upheaval,
And since I can’t get off this rock into a boat
get water between this and that I want to hold onto this baby
Squeeze some eggs out before we eat it
So this guy looks at me. Blank eyes and says
“But I’m hungry now” I look at him. I smile. I say
“Lop off your freaking foot, Let’s eat THAT”
