For the regular people

The main thing is that I have a lot of fans inside Parliament, and they've been watching versions of the Dakumentary for a while now. So, it's not really them who are surprised by the film, but the people who are thinking 'oh, this punk again: I thought we'd dealt with him in 2020!'

Was reading the comments for the Knobz video. Yep, all kinds of crazy. 13 comments from around 400 ThruPlays. Family First are the bad guys in the trans debate as well, so that's a familiar feeling. - Things are a bit different now that Chloe's the co-leader of the Green Party. She's a fan, so that's cooled the animosity slightly. But yeah, the Wellington vibe has shifted: previously, it was the right wingers that had it in for me (like 2020 in Mt. Victoria), but now it's the lefties who think I'm being selfish and childish by refusing to be their drag queen jesus .. or drag queen barbie ... depends on the person! - I could bring the mask and hope that I see Seymour. Presuming I bring my laptop to type up the notes, then there's probably room. David Seymour seems to enjoy my stuff, though I wouldn't say he's a fan. - Said this on the phone, but my view is that the fundamentalist Nats are my main enemies, and NZ First is being opportunistic with this gender agenda. Act and I get on fairly well, though their policies are increasingly eccentric.

Quality of the song alone and all that jazz... Yes, I can harmonise, but every hit song sounds essentially the same these days. It's like special sauce. The naked demos were distinctive. Again, it wa
