My favourite line from Ravi Shankar was when he briefly spoke at the Woodstock concert (or, it might have been on the Album for Bangladesh-- I can't remember).

He was plucking a few strings and starting to get comfortable. The audience applauded enthusiastically.

He replied, "I'm glad you liked the tuning; I hope you enjoy the playing even more."

Now all that's left, as for the white commoner whom he presaged, is scraps and progressive decline. Ah, the golden age.

In my opinion the golden age of African American music was 1920-1940. The jazz age lasted barely twenty years.


I must say I'm rather surprised at the staying power of rock and roll in its various permutations. In my opinion it also had a very brief period of at least some things about it being interesting, perhaps even up through the eighties.

Watched a video concert of Nirvana. Now I know why Kurt shot himself, why he viewed himself as so tired and played out, bereft of any sort of larger sense of reality. For all their angst, all their rage, all their energy and rebellion, they were only able to play as a series of disjointed singles. Nothing cohesive. No story, no continuity, no sense of self and passion. Only disconnected anger and flailing. Sound and fury signifying nothing, writ large. Every concert as a reviling of anything permanent and worthy of memory. Their generation, displayed to God and everybody.

I'd have made a canoe of my skull with a 12 gauge, too.

In honor of the wonders and beauties, the horrors and anxieties of our present times and the rest of this decade, may I (again) present to everyone here one of the most perfect songs ever made for that regard:

because of my rage im still just a rat in a cage.
