Getting really wound-up and not being able to vent.Wondering around wandering what job I should do.Getting frustrated that I can't find anything to do.Refusing to work for the majority of businesses. Pissed off we live in a service industry.Reading. Well, when I'm not frustrated.Writing. Well, when I'm not frustrated.Music. The only thing that can bring me back down to Earth.Hiking. My home, the Pyrenees.Thinking up ways to bring down the Military-Industrial complex.Marches.Septembers.
The great man, the great man;Historians his memoryArtists his senses, thinkers his brainLabourers his growthExplorers his limbsAnd soldiers his death each secondAnd mystics his rebirth each second.Businessmen his nervous systemNo-hustle men his stomach,Astrologers his balanceLovers his loinsHis skin it is all patchyBut soon will reach one glowing hue.God is his soulInfinity his goalThe mystery his sourceAnd civilisation he leaves behindOpinions are his fingernails---- The Raaaaght Honourbound R. Williamson the XCVIIVMCM a God amongst Rubabs.
Most music that is not-for-profit.To flex my contemporary credentials: Mistys Big Adventure, Herman Dune, The Retro Spankees, Kate Goes..., Jeffrey Lewis Band, Dogfood, Pram, Dufus. Apart from that I know bugger all about music today and rely upon the good people of Mistys to keep me abreast. Tho they lost that breast and had to find another one.Old Stuff: Incredible String Band, Leonard Cohen (and other song-writing masters), the usual jazz bigwigs (Monk, Ellington, Davis, Coltranex2, Dolphy, Sun Ra etc), 70's Bollywood.but most of alllll, much more than this, something else, that doesnt fit. I couldnt do it MYYY WAAYYYY.
Big fan of Kurasawa. Tho probably not big enough to spell his name right. And a lot of other older asian cinema. Erm, Can't even begin to tell you ... not all that hollywoodised bollocks blow-up-ya-mom bollocks crap. Wickerman is like 'way' cool. other stuff. brain on melt-down. Oh yeah, really badly made films in Tom 'n' Gareths collection... like that mudwrestling one I saw. Yeah liked that.BEWARE QUEEN KONG!!!!
You Kidding!.. oh your not.Weeelll, Mighty Boosh (o' course), some documentaries, Chris Morris stuff, Armando Ianuccis' Stuff, erm. Oh, I have been known to chill in front of Star Trek. I guess I like being blasted into space.oh oh oh, Rory Bremner when he's gets dark & ambiguous.
Yowza! There are so many:Tao Te Ching, 1984, various Pratchett books, Noam Chomskys books, The Illuminatus Trilogy & other Robert Anton Wilson books, Louis De Bernieres book set in a mythical south american republic, Colerige (collected ed.) .. argh, I'll add more as they re-open in my minds eye.
The Usual Line Up:Lao Tze, JC, Gandhi, Chomsky etc. You know, the people who made a difference with word or action (or in-action) (.. and end with an eeeee)I guess the hero thing is jealousy .. right?
