A Spontaneous Song
"Wherever we go, we are friends" -Sloth and Manatee
On my run this fellow passed me on a bicycle who was listening to music that sounded dramatic like the soundtrack to a soap opera.
Sloth and Manatee are back down to the Moon surface, where the rocks have been patiently waiting to - say hello or possibly to jam
Speaking of chaos - There's a middle school near our house and the music rooms are at the front and so when you go by you can hear what's going on. Those kids are having a go, man. Isn't that just the reason for living, to have a go. I'm rooting for them.
Fascinated by this:
Instruments have life force poured into them, so looking at the insides of them and all that space where that life has gone is really affecting. Breath + effort + movement.
Music is a thing where people say "You can't make a living at that." Why don't people say that to Lacrosse players? Are there vast Lacrosse employment opportunities that I am not aware of? Right there's sports scholarships, but people know you can get music scholarships, right? Nobody ever says "Don't spend time on that sport, son, you'll never make a living at that." Why does music bring this out of people? Is it fear?
Insert expansive theory on how artists and creative people see possibility and that's not what capitalist folks want them doing. Feel free to riff on this idea to your heart's content.
A Hollywood Squares arrangement of characters from Sofa Stories. Taken together looks like someone just said something weird/shocking/controversial and they are all going, "What?"
Hollywood Squares was a game show in the 1970s and it was so weird and inappropriate and hilarious, and Paul Lynde was the middle square. There's quite a bit on the Tube of You if you are curious.
Okay! That's enough nonsense for now.
May you hear a favorite tune, may you jam out using whatever instruments are at hand, won't you be my neighbor? -Betsy
