Jimmie Rodgers Just Split For A Greater Stage

Jimmie F Rodgers (September 18, 1933 - January 18, 2021) just checked out. One of the biggest of the big in the late 50s, he ran afoul of notorious mobster Mo Levy and literally had his head bashed in and was almost killed by an off duty LA police officer who was one of Mo's enforcers. After that he returned to the stage, but had health complications from then on. I loved his music when younger. For your remembrance, from a much more innocent era, his biggest hit "Honeycomb." If you want more, here's his 2020 birthday celebration! Saturday Early Show Celebrating the 2020 Birthday of Legendary Songwriter PF Sloan and Mr. “Honeycomb,” Jimmie F. Rodgers. RIP.

by Robert Wilkinson

Most have never heard of this force of nature who has given the blueprint to thousands of revolutionaries over the past 50 years. Make no mistake – he IS Da Man! Without his written works, there very well might have been no Eastern European color revolutions, no Arab Spring, and perhaps even no Occupy movement. He’s one of the most important non-violent revolutionaries ever to walk our Earth.

To Someone Grieving the Death of a Relationship

by Robert Wilkinson

In a FB group dedicated to death, dying, and the Wisdom, I encountered a man who was having a very hard time with the end of relationships with women he still loved with all his heart. He was wondering if they would come back, or if something could “pick back up” at some point in the future while despairing at the unlikelihood of that happening. Here’s what I wrote him with some editing to make some ideas flow better.
