It is ironical that to tell a story of the N O W it is best addressed as a fictional tale of a somewhere, a someday, in the future perhaps. Surely the things that the artwork and story describe are not "going on" as we speak? Are they? I mean . . . that would be too much. An overload. Well, if poisoned ...

The X factor . . . or Time of the End . . .                                                                                  X marks the spot - or Egg marks the spot - 2024 Note. - The events described below started unfolding to me in June 2022.  It was in Bill Fay's song - Time to wake up now - where he sings that it is "time to feed the birds - and hope they feed you too - for you need them, more than they need you." I knew that the line in that song was true, its just that I never knew just how true true was. I love animals and decided to donate some money from sales of artworks to the local animal shelter in Monroe County, Alabama. My home area at the time. It was all fine well and good to donate to the shelter. It was great to know that the animals were to feel the benefit ...

Still Life Jimi Hendrix - 'Winter Still Life' - 10 x 8 inches oil on board. Pink Floyd - 68 - Syd Barrett. Acrylic and pencil on paper. 12 x 5 inches approx   Alternative York Road - Kings Heath 1967 - [ or not ] Above - so, after the previous post that got me thinking about Silver Street , York Road , Alcester Rd Sth etc and how it would be if Jimi Hendrix did do an impromptu 'concert' in Kings Heath - seeing as he was at the Ritz and not playing officially there that night. Maybe he'd spill out and over into the street somewhere? Well, anyway - it made for an interesting flight of fancy for a fleeting moment or two. Those fleeting moments have been a surreal platform for my imagination thats lingered now for over 56 years or so! Time Flies! Alan G Brooks

 True story this one.  It was 1967 and I had just been to the swimming baths. It was cold and typically English weather.  I was in Silver Street at the Fish and Chip shop. Getting some nosh to stave off the hunger that swimming had brought on. Also - fish and chips are much better after you've had a swim - and it's a bit of a ritual anyway. So, I bump into an old school friend out side the shop. He was a guitar player and getting involved in all of that. Guitars hadn't totally got me yet - but it was all around - and it was 1967 too! I wasn't prepared for the statement that unfolded next. My friend told me that Jimi Hendrix was here last week in this very road, York Rd. a few paces from where we were standing. This place had the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Pink Floyd - you name it - all flooding through its doors since 1963. All had played there and the building itself was no bigger than the average pub to squeeze everyone into. Those really were the days appare...

                            So - I'm getting bits and pieces together of Kings Heath so as to make a story about it. It'll be my story and it will all be the absolute truth. I know it will be the absolute truth because I will be making it all up myself! Bottom line is a lot of great things happened in - on - and around Kings Heath. Trouble is I only found out about many of them a little too late, it seems. So, the big one was my being a little too young at the time to appreciate the Ritz Ballroom in York Road. To find out that such a magical place existed and pulled in the likes of the Beatles, The Kinks, Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd - and more, is staggering. They all played there in the sixties. Just up the road from where I lived and 'grew up.'  So I thought I'd get involved in all of that past and hot rod it all up a bit. Not that a line up of bands  like the above need hot rodding or embellis...

 This or That is . . . Now and Then [Alan G Brooks 2018] ---| implanting of machine forces into humans |--- Man will, in time, manage to implant the death-forces in man, related to electrical and magnetic forces, with external machines. He will then be able to direct his intentions, his thoughts into the machine.
