Whichever, in Pinellas county, who do pick ups. A friend who get calls regularly, had them call me from local phone number to arrange.

Thank you for opening up the belly of the beast for those of us who are curious but never in.
**Why doesn’t my Apple spell check recognize the word ‘Scientologist’? You’d think the word has been around long enough**

There may also be an Android version. I went Apple because I’d already bought a MacBook to use for recording (comes with GarageBand – a fantastic software suite).

As to not being budget friendly, the 7″ iPad is fairly cheap, and Apple keeps the previous iPad version on sale at a lower price.

And it all just works. Unlike with Windows, you don’t have to buy recording software on a Mac, you don’t need Anti-Virus software, you don’t need to replace your computer every couple of years (my five year old MacBook still runs like a champion), and you don’t need maintenance to keep the operating system running.

The same is true of the iPad compared to Android tablets.

In other words, going Apple is less expensive in the long run.

No, we were Twitter friends for a short time. He got with crazy John Alex Wood and even crazier Michael Wilde, so he blocked me. I tweet lots of “entheta”, so he couldn’t handle that.

He seems to think he’s in a big fight against psychiatry and drugs. That’s what most of his songs are about. Like many Scientologists, he thinks lobotomies and Shock therapy are the constant go-to procedures of the evil psyches.

His pre-Scientology rap was very powerful. He’s gone way downhill. Very sad!!!

You knew him personally? It’s such a shame that these people can’t see their own fanaticism. Impure intentions? Oh, gawd. It’s all such nonsense. One would think that if someone is secure in their faith/beliefs, then they wouldn’t feel the need to cut off anyone who disagrees or criticizes those beliefs.

Understood. It’s hard for me, as a fan of his writing, to get my head around.

I try to do that also, with art and artists but in some cases, like Tom Cruise or maybe Wagner, it gets sticky. Stanley, though… dammit Stanley! He was a big big influence on the way I (would like to) play bass.

My favorite version of Mothership Connection is him and George Duke:
