Dylan as a folk singer was unsurpassed. Great stuff. When he "went electric:" Yecch. He kinda reminds me of the MacRib. Anyone remember the MacRib? New Coke? Marketters are experts at, well, packaging, repackaging, marketing. except you can't GET a MacRib or New Coke or Ford Pintos anymore. They died and stayed dead, no one trying to re-sell garlicky mayo and exploding gas tanks, dressed up as "All New" Dylan will keep on getting uglier and older and richer. ANd every year he looks more and more like a New York Rabbi. Which scares the shit out of me. It is as if Pete Seeger started to look like Hitler, or Churchill. yep, Dylan was great.
My last purchase, that I'm listening right now is Hatfield and the North (first album). I arrived to Canterbury by the way of Soft Machine volume I/II.
I just clicked and saw reference to a band called "Caravan." HOLY CRAP! Anyone who's stuff is worthy of mention alongside those giants... Now I got my P2P Fileshare thingie goin nuts.
I get that with "The River" by Springsteen, and I'm only 20. Hmm... other songs that can bring me to tears... "There Is A Light and It Never Goes Out" by the Smiths... "Revolution Rock"... "Disorder" by Joy Division... couple Oasis songs (not Wonderwall, I'm not a sorority girl)...
"The River" is pretty good! My fav. album from Springsteen is Tunnel Of Love though. Not a filler on that.
"Man on the Street"... always gets me shivers when listened to. "Hey man, call the wagon, this man is dead"... so much with so few words...
dread zeppelin Fuckin wierd. I think they were from Toronto. I don't know if they are still together. Thing to do is to party haearty, okay? Then when the acid gets that fuckin edge, you know, the edge that acid gives you about an hour after you took it, when you still ain't sure you are gonna die? Okay, you wait for others in the place to be feelin like that. There are other drugs I never tried yet, so I don't know about them, but if anyone in the room ate some acid, fer sure they gonna be feelin like this in the first hour or so, well, that is the time you gotta play some stuff by this band.
I smoke pot only. But remember, I am old. So I been there, man. Acid trips have not changed, they are the same they ever been. I wouldn't do acid anymore, I am no longer empty headed [youth and it's requisite empty-headedness makes acid more tolerable]. If I see a huge elephant fly by me, I can't laugh it off anymore, like I used to.
Is that stuff good? I never wanted to use any drugs. Never wanted to drink, actually. Some people, lots of people used to really struggle to be able to come up with something weird, when they're stoned. Then I come and do something even weirder, effortlessly. But they are too stoned to recognize that I was The Weird. They just keep mumbling their pseudo-bizarrerie, achieved so damned hard with the help of some nasty poison.
Nah, acid ain't good. It ain't bad. It's what you make of it. You must use it with other people. You must never be left alone, okay, going to a toilet or something is fine, I mean you shouldn't be left alone during the 8 hours of so of your trip. Never ever look in mirriors, they are to be avoided at ALL costs. DON'T go to the mall or a movie theatre or a fast food place. Do not enter a casino. Do not look at a television. Any television, unless it is turned off, then it is safe. Television is an automatic strobing bad flying elephant trip. Bad bad bad. If you feel bad because of all the bats flying around, don't worry, they will go away. Do NOT impulse buy acid. It will be the stupidest thing you ever did. It should be taken with deliberation and friends and during times of joy and never, ever be taken by people with 'issues.' Religious people, people with mental illness, delusions. Don't try and fuck. Some people can do it, but it is like playing two excellent songs at the same time, they both end out sounding like shit. Don't drive. Never do it during daylight hours. Vitamin C and some B complex help during the come-down. Booze is safe to consume during the trip, it is the ONLY drug you should use along with acid, either booze or nothing. Don't blame me.
On second thought, there is my drug. Walking. At 19, I was an obese boy. 115 kilograms of pure fat all over the place (I'm 5'9"). I didn't want to meet anyone. I didn't want to go anywhere. I didn't even wanted to fuck. (Just kidding, every fat sob wants to fuck at some point in their life. It was just, I was having a hard time finding my tiny little prick in all that fat.) Then I started to walk. Half an hours. That was the first month or two. It was a race with me, doing longer and longer distances in only 30 minutes. And as my pace settled and the fat has begun to go down, it was not enough anymore, so I started to walk hours, two hours, three hours, four hours. I really started to enjoy this. I lost about 40 kilograms in half a year. I could even grab my whole erect penis. Why drug? Well, I couldn't stop. I weighed barely 62 kilograms in the end. As James Taylor would say: "Walking man, walking man walks Well, any other man stops and talks But the walking man walks" Keep walking! .
A car is a toy. A real man is a kid, and a kid don't buy a car for going from A to B. A kid's driving a car on racetracks, in the woods, in sloppy vaginas. But never, ever using it for going from A to B. A real man is a kid, and a kid has two strong legs (or at least a wheelchair). I don't own a car.
Here, when a grown man, may age, tells a stranger [a male stranger], "Nope, don't have a car. Never did. Don't care to either." It is as if he had said he makes love with animals. I ain't talkin about folks in The Sticks. In The Sticks, you can't get along without some wheels. But this is The City. We have gridlock and smog and HUNDREDS of people every year being run over and killed. But I am looked at funny when I say I won't participate in that. North Americanos, that is, people from the two countries north of Mexico, are a fat, lazy lot who consumes far more energy than they give back. Now the price of petrol has shot up, I am hearing these idiots crying the blues as if they have a god giving right to EACH AND EVERY ONE, contribute 4 metric tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, so they can motor their kids to a school 2 km away or go to a store and grab white bread. How many times I have heard: You don't DRIVE? How can you live without driving? I couldn't live without my wheels! [yes you could, stupid]
