Sample credits

"I was informed that they would use micro-stimulators in the uteruses of women - they artificially stimulate them sexually which is how they create sadistic women and they put the sound of pleasure into the inner mind with implants with like implanted teeth or when tonsils are removed or as stitches in front of the left ear and then they maneuver the women into intimidating the men and they maneuver the men into responding (rather than out the door) at the woman and my wife is being used in a sadistic fashion in conspiracy against me."

Brain implants, often referred to as neural implants, are technological devices that connect directly to a biological subject's brain – usually placed on the surface of the brain, or attached to the brain's cortex. A common purpose of modern brain implants and the focus of much current research is establishing a biomedical prosthesis circumventing areas in the brain that have become dysfunctional after a stroke or other head injuries. This includes sensory substitution, e.g., in vision. Other brain implants are used in animal experiments simply to record brain activity for scientific reasons. Some brain implants involve creating interfaces between neural systems and computer chips. This work is part of a wider research field called brain–computer interfaces.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing</span> 1966 single by Buffalo Springfield

"Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing" is a song by the Canadian-American folk rock band Buffalo Springfield, released as the group's debut single in 1966. Neil Young wrote the song in Yorkville in 1965 shortly after returning from a series of performances in Toronto, during a period when his bid at a solo career had been met with little positive response. The lyrics reflect metaphorically on Young's frustration toward his stalled career in music, and was inspired by Ross "Clancy" Smith, an aberrant classmate who incited awe in his school. Commentators recognize "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing" as one of Buffalo Springfield's signature songs, as well as a milestone in Young's progression as a songwriter.
