What a resource… At any given time I will have several Wiki tabs open. At the moment, I’m reading articles on Boethius, POSIWID, Counting Cards and the Cornball Express (Roller Coaster). Admittedly, I have never donated a dime to this site.
School made us think reading is a holy act. It is not. Its just something to do. Like watching a movie or sports. You aren’t going to be tested by anyone. Read high. Read drunk. Read 2 pages. Read half awake. Remember nothing or just some of it. It really doesn’t matter
I feel like growing up every band or musician besides super huge pop stars was just normal looking. Not weird in a cool way and not perfectly curated. Just actually weird or actually normal. I miss that. Everyone is too hot now. To quote Silver Jews,
"What's with all the handsome grandsons
In these rock band magazines?
What have they done with the fat ones?
The bald and the goateed?"
We need more normals in music.
