City Bumpkin Bash

If anyone is in the Claremont area tomorrow night and sees ANY evidence of the impact of the City (excuse me while I vomit) Muster, please get a photo. Any rooting in the street. Any BMW burnouts. Any wet Prada contests. Any sincere but retarded bumpkins in the streets gawping at fancy city bathtubs. Anything.
Surprise surprise, creator of the worst song ever written in any genre “Hey True Blue”, John Williamson headlines. And also what a surprise Lee Kernigan and Kasey Chambers as also rans. Not Marilyn Chambers unfortunately, I think she ded. John The Bono Butler for Blues & Roots and Lee fucking Kernigan for a bumpkin bash. How imaginative. Here’s a shot which I assume is a rich farmer from Williams coming up for the bumpkathon. Unfortunately my phone pic is a little unclear, but it’s a Rolls Royce with a manky old roof rack. I assume only a farmer would put an old roof rack on their Roller. Probably for haybales or carting manure. WAtching, if you’re sniffing undies out Claremont way tomorrow…

    Dammit TLA, the bloody Roller is probably older than the roof rack screwed to it, and might even have cost less.

    What is it with you metrocentric twats that you can’t see past fucking brand labels?

    Saw a ‘sweet young thing’ admiring a whole rack of identical items of clothing with a gleam of avarice in her eyes as she said to her girlfriend: “Gee! That’s different.”

          I have to say I LOVE a lot of country music, up to around the 1970’s, and done by southern Americans, but I don’t get how Australian country singers think it’s authentic to sing in accents and vernacular that aren’t even authentic to most Americans. Calling your dad Poppa? Calling your children hillbillies?

          (“The term hillbilly is commonly used in non-Appalachian areas as a reference in describing socially backward people that fit certain “hillbilly” characteristics. …
          Due to its strongly stereotypical connotations, the term is frequently considered derogatory, and so is usually offensive to those Americans of Ozarkan and Appalachian heritage. However, the term is also used in celebration of their culture by mountain people themselves. Such co-opting and neutralizing use is almost exclusively reserved for the mountain people themselves.”

    A disappointingly low number of comments today, I must say. To atone for the absence of my sorely, surely needed guiding hand – the hand that grabs your horns and corrals y’all away from profligacy and sin – I append the following post.

    Many City Muster attendees profess communion in the Christian faith. This however is a claim that must be examined more closely. We best challenge supposed Christians on their own putative grounds, on the ground of Holy Scripture, to make ’em see the error of their ways. In this case, we require analysis of sinful Muster practices, which I propose to breakdown as follows:

    (1) Music
    (2) Drinking of alcohol
    (3) Utes
    (4) Fornication
    (5) Relations with animals

    With our hearts filled with the Lord, let us now address each of these in turn:

    (1) Music, as we all know, is of Satan. The King James Version of the bible makes this very clear, as when the Lord attributes to Satan “the workmanship of … tabrets and of … pipes” (Ezek 28:13). The elision of this phrase from more contemporary translations of the bible suggests the extent to which modern humankind, and even Christendom, is enthralled by radio, MTV, and the I-Pod. An all too convenient exclusion, non?
    Note 1: The I-Pod is the latest, and certainly end-times,
    development in this respect – i.e. when music becomes
    simply about I/me.
    Note 2: The teachings of the so-called Church of Satan,
    for instance, espouse individualism and self-indulgence;
    also the essence of late-stage (end-times) capitalism, of
    which the I-Pod must be seen as an integral part.
    Note 3: You are all damned on this account.

    (2) As Scripture attests, the righteous Christian tolerates alcohol whilst abhorring drunkenness. The worship and excessive imbibing of Bundaberg Rum (henceforth “Bundy”) will aid their cause no more than excessive supping on the Holy communion wine. Bundy is a sin against God; a drink that leads to sin and the consequences of sin: syphilis, gonorrhea, and death (“You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come” [Lev 10:9]).

    (3) Utility vehicles (henceforth “utes”) are the closest end-times equivalent to the chariot, the traditional vehicle of God. This suggests either of two things: one, that the ute is of God; or two, that the ute is built in mockery of all that is of God. Only one or two example are needed to prove that the latter is in fact the case (see note 4, image 1; and, in particular, image 2). Of further note here is the traditional Hebrew secrecy surrounding the first chapter of Ezekiel, known as the Merkabah (the chariot). Rabbis who pursued this forbidden text were characteristically “driven” to death, madness, or heresy. Need we expend more words in the denunciation of this utile sin?
    Note 4:
    http://www.citymuster.com.au/Photos/2008/Ash/IMG_3054.jpg;

    (4) “Fornication” refers to sex outside of the legal and Holy union of man and woman (1 Cor 6:18-20). There will be many at City Muster who respect the sanctity of this bond. Others, inflamed by unbecoming passions, will willingly degrade themselves, seeking exemption from this immortal law. Adulterers and fornicators beware, for the spirit-storm is coming (Ezek 1:4) to wipe away your sins. Unrepentant sinners shall likewise be blown away, like chaff in the wind (Ps 1:4).

    (5) Fornication, as we have seen, refers to extra-marital sex, where “marriage” refers to the union of man and woman only. Yet the notion of fornication is surely wider than the mere bodily or even spiritual abrogation by humans of such sacred bonds. Intoxicated by the Devilry of music and wine, attendees of the City Muster surely succumb to far less Holy trysts; to such animal lusts that the object of such lusts becomes the animals, the bush-pigs, with which they so frequently associate. Scripture is particularly forceful on this point: (Ex 22:19; Lev 18:23; Lev 20:15-16).

    Finally, I have worried deeply for you all – for your Eternal Salvation – on the basis of your constant and at times unseemly mockery. However, I once again find counsel in Scripture, which tells us that the prophet Elijah mocked Baal and his worshipers (1 Kings 18:27). So let us all be as Elijah, mocking the believers, unto the end of days.

                      The government doesn’t seem to have any problem in middle class welfare such as baby bonuses, private health fund rebates and subsidies for private schools.
