The Simpleton by @williedowling.bsky.social
A cracking album indeed.
For folks that like a Billy Joel/10cc/Squeeze type vibe.

There are many stupid arrogant pricks in the world.
The Dunning Kruger effect is evident in their every word & action.
But Trump is a new moronic low for humanity.
Not only is he immensely stupid, he’s also a corrupt pedophile sociopath.
One day he and his administration will pay for their crimes

How are you feeling MAGA?

Must be REALLY confusing for you now?

Your “No more wars” idiot sociopath who’s done NOTHING but lie to you is spending:

$890million a day on an Israeli war with Iran

And you can’t afford food, housing, Medicare or fuel?

You’re getting f**ked by the Epstein files

It is entirely because no one did anything to stop the slaughter of Palestinians and the continuing annexation of Palestine that Trump and Netanyahu are emboldened and feel entitled to attack whomever and wherever they choose.
Arrest them.
Jail them.
Or we lose everything to tyrannical fascists

The Evangelical RW own Trump’s Whitehouse

They want war with Iran because their prophecy says, end times arrive & Christ returns when Israel overcomes its enemies.

Surely it's Iran that's run by religious extremists?

It's the extremists in the USA & Israel who are the greatest threat to the world

People are so cruel to poor old Donald

He promised "No more wars or regime changes"
and you can rest-assured that he REALLY wanted to keep that promise

If only he hadn't assaulted all those girls & women then Netanyahu wouldn't have been able to blackmail him into starting the big one against Iran

If the world is seriously concerned about international terrorism, then it is quite clear what must be done.

Trump & Netanyahu have conducted terrorism on a massive scale.

Arrest, prosecute and jail them both.

Regime change is absolutely essential in both Israel and the USA.

I see where all the confusion comes from!

You see, you thought that Trump meant: “Board of Peace”…

When what he actually meant was: “Bored of Peace”.

It’s an easy mistake to make.

I’m here all week, please enjoy your meals…

Trump seals the deal for eternity.
The moron, fascist, tyrant, sociopath pedophile has likely started World War 3 and is without doubt the worst president - if not the worst human being - in all history.
“No more wars”?
Bollocks.
“Board of Peace”?
Bored of C**ts led by the biggest c**t of all time

What else am I going to do with the day?

Once upon a time I had dreams...
Or perhaps I just dreamt that I had dreams?
Nowadays I can't even get to sleep.

This is the piano solo section from The Simpleton.
If you click the link and watch, please leave me a comment on YouTube and let me know where in the world you're seeing it from:
You can hear the song and see a full video here:

There are those who paint themselves as warriors, claiming they're only concerned with protecting children

They angrily demand to know the ethnicity & religion of pedophiles to draw some racist conclusion

But they're not so concerned about the ethnicity of the biggest pedophile ring on the planet

Reform UK

If you're looking for a party full of Tories and tax-dodging friends of Trump...they're perfect for you.

If on the other hand, you think anyone who is friends with the king of pedophiles is highly suspicious...

Farage and his Tory cabal are the problem, not the solution

How do you feel about piano based pop/rock songs?

Willie Dowling - Long Drop Down YouTube video by Willie Dowling

Here's a song about the utter stupidity and damage caused by #Brexit

This is 'Long Drop Down'
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLgH...

And yet it pains me try & commodify what I do because it is SO time consuming & feels both hypocritical & largely unrewarding.
But I guess having another go using the modern means is about the only alternative to writing songs for myself that no one will hear.
And not many folk hear them currently!

I can't tell you how humiliating it is!
Not to say time consuming.
It's an 'old man' thing to say now becuase a whole generation have grown up with the idea that they must 'market' themselves.
And of course trends dictate how that marketing is done and it all starts to sound & look quite homogenised

I completely agree.
The billionaires are mopping up social media everywhere..
Meanwhile, I'm trying to find an audience so I'm indulging in naked hypocrisy and trying TikTok.
Those in the know tell me that TikTok and Instagram are the best ways to build an audience.
A bit soul destroying though...

I'm mixing it up with the 'yoof' on TikTok, so if you're on there too, be a good sport, nip over there and drop me a like and a comment would you?
And if you're not on there...
Well to be honest, I can't say I'm entirely surprised.

Tours begin, tours end...
Some go on so long the end turns seamlessly into the beginning of the next.
2025 ends here for The Invisible Band.
If you were there you were probably marvellous.
Now be a poppet would you and tell the world what you saw…
