Gulf Of Gonzo 3: Beach Disco

 

Sunk into the crystal white beach, just a hop, a skip, and a jump, over to the Emerald Coast of Florida.  Gulfweed was floating ashore from the Sargasso Sea, a region of the Altlantc Ocean framed by four currents, the only sea in the world without a land border.  The lush plants were signs of a healthy and producing ocean, don't believe the hype, the water of earth is in top condition.  The waves were cresting and crashing, looping and busting, popping and locking, then finally, gliding and sliding onto the sand.  Beach Disco.

Starts with a uh-huh, rolling in from the deep.  Then we get the boom bam after it reaches its peak.  After that it seems to sizzle, as it fizzles to your feet.  Reaches far as it can, where land and water meet.  Then that wave rides back out again, wants to rock around some more, wants to find its disco friends, left them on the ocean floor.

And each wave has a story, none the same.  They go where they go, playing their music, dancing and swaying, like a soul train.  Keep the gravity right where it is, screen out the trash idiots.  Our tunes are louder, our drinks are better, we'll sleep regardless.  Consideration is the beginning of class.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
