all o' my sweet friends - again & again. Rumi, Hafiz. Myself alive & beatin' like a Golden Heart floating free. Fuck it - God, I'd like to meet God.
leonard cohen has redefined beauty - that is to say he has created a new 'form' .. which has name .. his name has become an adjective .. the beatles opened doors all over the human story .. hundreds of them .. the doors and the dead and pink floyd made beautiful stories among us .. nina simone let herself come absolutely alive - u can hear her doing it .. hendrix left magic spells and rituals on records - "all along the watchtower" - fuck me its so beautiful .. NIN are awesomely heavy - c'e niente piu pesante - bowie & bolan gave us lots to play with ... tomaso albinoni's adagio is the saddest piece o' music ever written .. ravels bolero is glorious (watch '10' w/ bo derek) .. godspeed u black emperor .. sigur ros .. bjork .. beck .. bon jovi .. miles davis .. beethoven .. buddy rich .. brubeck .. sinatra .. otis redding was love dancin and singin .. dylan is the voice of the divine .. john lennon - bob marley were prophets .. jeff buckley makes me weep - u must listen to nina simone's "ne me quitte pas" .. judas priest are funny .. radiohead - how to disappear completely .. spinning plates .. where i end and u begin .. gnarls barkley ... ergo b bag ... mojo juju ...
woody allen is like a rope ladder dropped out o' the sky - roman polanski makes me twitch - sergio leone is an awesome artist like dali or schiele - i like being swayed mildly by hollywood stereotypes - the modern sophistication of film making creates some beautiful emotion movements - tarantino is a new expression - characters well played by these men have made beautiful impacts 'pon me as a man: dustin hoffman, robert redford, al pacino, clint eastwood, brad pitt, warren beatty, donald sutherland ... mel brooks is funny but python is funnier .. i once fell in love w/ an actress called simone simon - an old french actress .. i like fucked up crude horror stuff and weird sci fi but i also like lush stuff like greenaway and passionate stuff like peckinpah and those gypsy movies and all .. the life aquatic moved me alot .. so did napoleon dynamite .. i like star trek and old bond and animation like jan svenkmeyer and the brothers quay ..
i don't watch the box much coz i don't relly dig ads .. its like someone standin on a street corner screamin at u and wavin flags and when u come over they try to get u to give them ur wallet and they take the porridge from ur baby or somethin .. but of course i have watched it and on occasion still do - here's what i remember likin' - muppet show and sesame street .. cat weasel .. wurzel gumidge .. goodies .. the love boat .. cartoons (old cool ones that weren't ads for dum cards and shitty plastic crappy things made by slaves) .. the simpsons & futurama & family guy are funny .. my friend got me hooked on 24 a while back - we watched a season on dvd .. its weird to know that u have watched 24hrs of tube .. i used to like this show called treasure island .. i recently watched big brother ..
beat (kerouac .. henry miller - i love these guys) - sufi poetry - old horror comix - stories of humans who have really gone off - robert anton wilson - books people give me - jitterbug perfume by tom robbins (i think) - kids picture books from the seventies - pulp 50's 60's 70's sci fi - the overman culture by edmund cooper - it was the first book i ever read - huxley - oscar wilde's fairy tales - books about movements of art which were reactionary w/ lots o' pix - books w/ nice recipes & medicine ideas in -
all o' the ones who gave/give 'emselves utterly to Love .. i mean sweetly utterly until all that is left is that crazy dancin' Love that licks out into the air and thirstily .. but opens its arms without even knowing and rolls out like warm water and oil into a bath for tired people .. like jesus or muhamed or rumi or hafiz or gandhi or any o the buddha's on earth .. but i also like wacky cats like kerouac and garcia and people who start movements because they see that they should be there and because its their role and they give 'emselves to it .. & i like rasputin and also hitler but i don't like the 'final solution' bit and all o the crazy racism and such like .. if he didn't go there .. i don't know if all o these characters are what u'd call heroes but w/ this qualifier it makes sense to put 'em in this box
