Rick Wakeman is for guitar shop people. Like Dream Theater. They're great at what they do but guitar shop people use that shit as weapons against the anarchist musicians such as myself. Is the ego necessary? Can't say that I've read much about Ornette Coleman nor have I ever met the dude. But seeing him live in Ann Arbor, I got the feeling he was a humble cat. Same thing with Peter Brotzmann. Those fucking mammoths are just there to swing wrecking balls, not their own penises. Any time I see footage or hear music by Dream Theater or Yes, it seems like they're the prog equivalent of John Cleese's FRENCHMAN from MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Is that necessary? Since when is music some kind of secret society? Why are many of the greats walking around with crowns on and their own cocks in their hands?? Isn't the holiness of music there for all to behold and to partake in? Maybe it's a western thing. Manifest Destiny O' Fretboard. Fucking jocks, man.
"Man, if you want to learn some decent licks, you've got to listen to YES Fragile and practice five hours a day."
"Well, how about I listen to a hot water heater and hit my guitar with a foil hammer until it sounds like a hungry jackal?"
"You obviously aren't SERIOUS about your musicianship."
"Fuck if I aint, jack. It's just that I aint gotta stick my head up a bulls ass to get a good look at a t-bone."
Don't we all steal some lines at times?
I was the only one all about practice today. Probably has something to do with the ginseng, ginko, and Red Bull I've been ingesting all day. Loaded for Bear. Had to counteract the hell inflicted upon my body the previous night. Instead of having an innocent night out, I gotta go ahead and eat the powdered LSD. Watching ICHI THE KILLER was a goddamned mistake on that stuff. The My Bloody Valentine records didn't help either. Then it was on to Jandek. Fucking Jandek made me think about ICHI THE KILLER. Not good. Around five oclock the mixture of allergy pills and The Clientele's Suburban Light put me down. Like a bull with multiple stab wounds in a Spanish arena. SCHLUMP!!!!!
