Glen Fry Dies Of Intestinal Complications at 67


Glen Fry of the Eagles died today of intestinal complications. Later details indicate rumatoid arthritis, ulcerative collitus, and pneumonia.  He had been sick for weeks and not just days.   He was 67- but when you run down the songs Don Hendley did a lot more overtly solo songs than Glen Fry did.  They say deaths come in threes.  First you have David Bowie dying at 69 and then you had that Allan guy British actor dying at 69 and today Glen Fry is dead.  Cosmically he went to Sirius A in what’s known as the “Howard Richards” wing of the ZAC.  The same spirit guides that were around him when he was alive are now around him in death.   In one other bit of cosmic news Mal Evans contacted me last night waiting for medication but I’m self censoring that exchange.  But it had no connection with Fry’s death.

At a quarter to six I went down for medication but Donnie was mopping the floor.  Norma had the Bible study and they were singing hymns like “Rock of Ages” and “The Old Rugged Cross” while we waited.  They had NBC network news and then they had the Democratic debate, which might be the last one with O Mally.  He spoke less often than the other two but his words were often insightful and clarified some issues.  Hillary was smug and immovable.  Bernie was put on the defensive even on issues he should be proud of taking.   Hillary kept saying she had a plan to deal with Wall Street but never said what it was, whereas Bernie Sanders was very explicit as to what he wanted to do.  The debate ran two hours and there were increasing commercial breaks.  Paul lent me a cigarette about a quarter to eight.  I heard the introductions but not the summaries, if there were any.  Then it was the Simpson’s. 

Donald Trump says “The Art of the Deal” is the 2nd best book ever written second only to the Bible.  He quoted second Corinthians of “Wherever the spirit of God is, there Liberty is”.  OK.  We need to revive Christianity because it’s under siege and we need to band together.  Relations between Trump and Ted Cruz are getting rockier all the time. 

Black people are serious about boycotting the Oscars.  They said 94% of something of the academy award nominators are lily white and the median age is rising all the time.  For the second year in a row Black actors and actresses are getting snubbed.  “Out of Compton” was left out for best picture, along with a lot of other movies Blacks are involved in.  And we may be moving to a situation where we are re-segregating show business, like baseball used to be. 


Marco Rubio is a dreaded “Anchor baby” born in Miami, with neither parent at that time a citizen.  Ted Cruz was born in 1970 but Canada didn’t allow dual citizenship till 1979 so legally Ted Cruz was exclusively a Canadian citizen for those years of his childhood.  

Last night I had a dream me and Glenda were getting married.  Actually it was a double wedding with Glenda’s younger sister with piercing blue eyes marrying somebody.  There was one scene where me and Glenda were in a swimming pool and Glenda was riding on my waist or something totally nude.  But the thing is we were going to live with Elvis and his Memphis mafia living in a mansion with a nice courtyard and flowing fountain.  Elvis said that every day my refrigerator would be freshly stocked with whatever food I wanted and all I needed to do for that is do chores around the house.  Everybody in the Memphis mafia had some ranking, and me and Glenda were about number eight, and I was honored that we were that high.  Elvis had a lot of VCR’s of old movies and a lot of them were his- (not that I recognized any plots of any actual Elvis movies)  - but Elvis had this 3 D technology where you wore Google glasses or something and headphones and had a virtual environment that was like surround stereo with 3 D.  There was one movie in particular- - a thing like “The 300” only it was an extra terriestrial army but they were fighting with swords and shields in sort of an epic battle for the cosmos.

I had a dream last night where Paul was talking about putting a GPS device on me and a blood alcohol monitor to measure whether I’d been drinking alcohol.  There was also a scene where Paul and Judy and I were at parents’ frematic house- - but the landscaping had been redone and the back yard was a lot bigger and it had a really high fence and I said to Judy “That fence is even higher than the last time I saw it and it was high then”.  Judy agreed.  There were a lot of vines or something growing on top of the fence.  It was early morning about seven and I had been auditing a class but told others I was taking the class for real, and now there was some big final project that was due.  Paul and Judy asked if I wanted to help them build some planters or something with redwood planks or something and that seemed more agreeable to me- - then attempt to do a final I didn’t have to.  I was still hoping to get to the store to buy alcohol.
