Entombed-“Left Hand Path (1991)” Colossal ‘90s Epic Ending Review

            One of the pinnacle masterpiece Swedish ’90s touring bands who came to Green Bay, WI was Entombed.  Hearing “Left Hand Path” takes me back to the days of my youth spent studying the Necronomicon, listening to this song to summon demons, and to play ghost Scooby Doo at High Cliff State Park in fall, which was the same place we would listen to this entire album with poked-hole-soda-cans, some burning of the earth, while playing hacky sack to the setting of the autumn Viking sunsets.  Being a ’90s kid in Appleton, WI and seeing Entombed play at the City Center with Mike Fleury running sound was by far one of my best childhood memories as a death metal drummer at Appleton West High School.  Fish was an integral part of the sound when we witnessed their European beer drinking piss drunk backstage sessions in Green Bay, WI.

I equate Fish’s running of City Center sound in comparison to my writing and reviewing a section of a YouTube video that sets the groundwork by mapping out a brainstorm.  Mike Fleury was the mechanic who precisely articulated how your percussion would sound.  This takes me back to my days playing with Sufferance that was abruptly ended by some dystopian rebuttal aimed at something personal that started at High Cliff State Park and ended at City Center leaving me to join the Army.

None-the-less, Mike Fleury played his part in staying the conversationalist he loved to be.  Fish always took my hardships in laughter at Studio East, banging my head on the lights.  My dad had recently passed and thought getting myself back out playing would grieve my loss that led to after bar blackout rides on Oak Street when I was newly separated.  Mike Fleury and I hung out every weekend and just did the “well I guess one more won’t hurt” shaking of bar dice we would manage to somehow end up.

I am writing a tribute to the man who ran the controls the night in ’92 when this song was heard live by my ears for the first time. Entombed was a band from Sweden, whose influence developed the death metal guitar sound engineering of the ‘90s Blue Jay Bowl and Apple Emporium Generation. Despite any indifference bands ever had back then really bears not a penny of weight on the fact all who came from the era of excellence and original musicianship ironclad that can be prolific haunting tones recalled and relished in several of today’s death metal influences.

Please take now this moment and listen from 4:20 to the end, I call “the Colossal Epic Ending” I relate to my youth.  Thank you, Michael, “Fish “Fleury for just being you.

This is so surreal. We had to do online workshops for Intro to Comm-B for UW Madison and grade each other’s projects. OutPost 422 was developed through this class that started out as Bob Cobb Freelance Ink LLC. I am pitching Madison College Truax to veterans and displaying my Entrepreneurship business writing and Journalism Practicum showcase articles to create a blog fundraising business. We are writing about the issues the DAV, the VFW, and the American Legion Public Relations tend to shy away from. We are not afraid. We are the ones who have used the Veterans Crisis Line and lived who are telling our story. We are the 4:22 Chronicles—Scorn Valor Diaries.

I met a unique and vocally opinionated classmate like me in Comm-B for UW Madison that loved to argue over cell phone addiction. She feels the same about how veterans are being treated and gave me great tips on how to develop my business. I shrugged it off because of our age gap and realized my ego got in the way again.

My classmate won second place for the Madison College Challenge was one of the people who graded my Op-ed for Veteran Suicide APA. We will be merging our efforts to end veteran suicide through a six-week business brainstorm class through the Center for Entrepreneurship. We bumped into each other in the hall last week and talked about my VA VITAL mission and is taking the same business launching class as I am on May 24th.

Congrats Ardita on second place and am looking forward to developing our classroom business plans. I did not go to school to be an entrepreneur. I did it to end veteran suicide through my 2018 submission “Operation Restore Americana” that teaches homeless and displaced veterans how to be agriculture vendors and farmers. We are launching at the Department Convention and will enter OutPost 422 as a communications operation at the Madison College Challenge in 2020—my campaign against Mark Pocan.

I am using my college wisely and thank you all for more than just a diploma. I have a membership to assist tribes through NAC thanks to Anthropology, GM of Broadcast for the Clarion, a good grip on sophistry and dialect on how to bullshit people into believing I learned stuff, OP422 branding, UW Applied Research Hemp Processor Practicum record keeping as an adjutant, Irontek in Beloit, MCDC Class project, and Watchdog 101 from the Center of Investigative Journalism as a result of your tax dollar.

As we approach Memorial Day 2019, I would like to take a moment to recognize a member of the Armed Forces I became acquainted with as I was searching through the Wisconsin State Historical Society investigating tribal veterans who have gone above and beyond the call. After spending time researching the ways of the Lakota, I decided in September of 2018, I was going to open a Native Veteran Artifact Museum due to the overwhelming colonial artifacts at the Wisconsin State Veterans Museum lacking Native Veteran recognition. My archiving has begun and am looking to honor and dedicate a welcome center in Madison, WI for our members at OutPost 422. Our archives tell the truth of the Native American Veteran heritage story.

My journey began when I was first introduced to the Sundance Ceremony of the Native American Sacrament of Peyotism for my Anthropology final paper. Researching tribal history has helped me develop a deeper, broader, and enlightened perspective as to why Joe Medicine Crow’s War Chief accomplishment helped win World War 2. My favorite of the tasks assigned to a young member of the U.S. Army 103rd Infantry Division was a special mission to steal a horse from the enemy.

I imagine his determination to serve his people as nothing short of divine. One thing I have grown fond of with tribal veteran research is the extra effort a Native American warrior puts into their service. They walk the divine walk and have absolute ground-zero relentless determination and guts. The amount of guts that went into stealing a Nazi horse goes against the grain of a respectable individual in a egalitarian structured system. Crow received his blessing and went against all he was taught on the premise of just cause. War Chief Crow exemplifies honor.

One thing I admire about my tribal veteran friends from the United States reservations is their dedication to honor, integrity, and dignity. War Chief Joe Medicine Crow did not do this to receive awards like the garden variety suburban concrete warrior does. He did this to protect the future of his people. Stealing a horse and completing his mission was his divine pathway to honor, which is the main takeaway I have received through my Anthropological lens.

Writing editorials has developed my understanding of heritage of the Sundance Ceremony and the Longhouse Religion archiving I unearthed with Handsome Lake is where my love for journalism began. Our Native American Sacred Warriors are of high honor and ask we take a moment this Memorial Day to say grace and ask our Higher Power to bless the families of those who have troops deployed from reservations. I also ask we send up prayers to keep safe watch over their sons and daughters who are deployed.

Memorial Day is a time of reflection. I certainly hope we can reflect on the greater good of the will of the divine as a token of solitude amongst or veteran community. Our Americanism commission starts when we take time to include and invite all those who served to come to the harvest feast of honor on this blessed Memorial Day.

04/28/2019 Restaurant Review

       Today was a great day.  I was able to spend a fun and filling date night by snacking on the fabulous “Three-Pound Burrito” at Pedro’s Restaurante located at 3555 E. Washington Avenue in Madison, WI this evening.

       I always look forward to their great tasting salsa and chips to accompany my wait session prior to inhaling this three-pound feast.  Their salsa has a tart and tasty texture, unlike most restaurants who use watered down salsa.  The chips tempt your taste buds with a dazzle crisp followed by a hint of salt that comes with a bite of every chip.  The wait staff was friendly and our food was a bit over-seasoned but was moderately priced that made up for it.  I always enjoy the decor amongst the few historical landmark places left in Wisconsin.

      The reason I keep coming back to visit is the great unlimited chips and salsa magic that sparks conversations and brainstorms I adore when taking the person I love on date night.  We always look forward to a great atmosphere and a friendly wait staff when we have an opportunity to finally branch out from Sun Prairie, WI to come to an establishment that gives generous portions and unlimited conversation.

      If you are visiting Madison, WI and are coming to use the Madison VA Hospital, Pedros is down by the Hwy 51 intersection and can’t miss it.  Take a ride before or after your next VA visit to come to check out Madison College campus if you are thinking about exploring VA VITAL. Pedros will definitely leave you with a happy face when you walk out the door.  Thanks again Pedros for being a friendly favorite.

                Bob Cobb is a prototype Practicum operation that is a military acronym for my 4:22 Chronicles Board of Directors who run the PBS Operation to hire interns for OP 422 Scorn Valor Diaries. We are the advertising and public relations firm who represent veterans who use Building 22.

We are the Board of Businesses of the Corporation of Brad Burt. My nonprofit medium advertises on our blogs free in exchange for a surcharge for CBD and operating cost. We take the veteran from an instant message on Bob Cobb all the way to UW Whitewater to meet Richard Harris when the complete the VA VITAL Truax Drone Practicum Journalism Course. We give them the spit-shine to succeed before they decide to enter into the realm of the 22. Each intern operates the Channel 422 medium that plays nationally 24 hours a day that uses our 700-word blogs as scripts to solve the Veteran Suicide problem through our APA Op-ed Seminar at Veteran Conventions.

We will be setting up this year to recruit for Madison College at the Department of Wisconsin American Legion Convention in Madison, W. Come meet our VRS Coordinator Allan Locia and Wisconsin Hemp Farmers and Manufacturers Association Founder Phillip Scott who runs a solvent veteran Hemp agriculture operation. We are going to address the 100 stolen crops from Cottage Grove and am asking our National Commander to drop our ties with NORML through my Commander Cobb Enforcer Report We give them the spit-shine to succeed before they decide to enter into the realm of the 22. Each intern operates the Channel 422 medium that plays nationally 24 hours a day that uses our 700-word blogs as scripts to solve the Veteran Suicide problem through our APA Op-ed Seminar at Veteran Conventions.

We will be setting up this year to recruit for Madison College at the Department of Wisconsin American Legion Convention in Madison, W. Come meet our VRS Coordinator Allan Locia and Wisconsin Hemp Farmers and Manufacturers Founder Phillip Scott to answer questions referencing veteran Hemp programs and solvency operations through The Sacred Warrior Chaplain Bob Cobb Board. Our main goal is to create a medium of multiple-faceted veteran and tribal networks to rescue all of our family who are lost.

Thanks for joining me!
