Concrete Blonde filled the gap between the alt-rock 80's and Nirvana with some of the darkest and most imaginative music and lyrics from the pen of Johnette Napolitano. R.E.M.'s Peter Buck does some work on the album which includes "Joey," their biggest hit. Listen to Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde on Amazon Music ... #concreteblonde #bloodletting #altrock

For whatever reason watching 120 minutes on MTV tonight and (re)discovered that Joey by Concrete Blonde is an all time great love song. In fact, it's a great all time song and Bloodletting is a great all time album. Shame they never quite got their due.

I mean, your heart must be stone if it doesn't get you in the feels.

Continued thread

#ReflexiveControl is where an actor shapes the thoughts of an adversary, leading them to make decisions and take actions that result in harm to themselves, but benefit to the manipulative actor.

Someone at the higher levels of this art would study their adversary's traits in detail, to manipulate them.

Into their adversary's mind they would drive their own message and suppress all other ideas.

The confused and unaware would be ideal targets:

#ConcreteBlonde, "They don't know what they know."

I was thinking about the old #ConcreteBlonde song, "Jonestown", about the Jim Jones cult. Grim, I know.

"They don't know who to run to.
They don't know where to go.
Unless you tell them what to think,
They don't know what they know."

Then I was thinking about #ReflexiveControl.

You can know your own thoughts.

You could also know what an adversary is thinking.

You could know what an adversary is thinking about your thoughts.

Levels of reflection!

More levels, more advantage. Because...
