God,
Why Am I
So Lazy?

I can't believe how lazy I am. I should be horsewhipped. That's what it will take to get me motivated. I've reached the point in life where its hard to CARE about anything, I just want to stay high all the time. Good weed interests me tremendously.
I listened to LIVE Dead, an album I had in the 60's, not a bad Grateful Dead gig at all, its an honest document of a band that's not afraid to be who they were, I notice PigPen whipped the gig into a frenzy. Its amazing to consider he died in 1973 of scerosis of the liver, he was 27. It hurts your brain to think of it now. Lesh was all over that motherfucking album, Weir was good too. I like the Feedback at the end of the show the best.
Their feedback was the noize I was listening to when I made the transition from 'hendrix listener' to full fledged 'electronic musician', the latter being a state of listening where its a language unto itself, with no verbal references, just a graphical sound heiroglyph in your head, like your brain is eating plastic electricity, know what I'm sayin'? The pure shit, its like speaking fluent deer antler, either you understand or you don't.
I didn't always understand, perhaps I understood too much. I had to learn to break free from that. We're talkin' LISTENING here, it was MANY more years of training and de-programming before I learned to PLAY music that way, not just LISTEN that way. Its harder than it sounds, Jimi Hendrix is probably a teenager's best route to the purely electronic, Jimi has a way of making you identify with his persona, this leads you directly to Acid Land, where Jimi reigns as the King Of Noize, but he always keeps one leg sticking back out and foot firmly planted in the doorway to and from The Real Blues.
Pretty remarkable if you think about it. He gigged with the Isley Brothers, that's when he "sklorked" into the other language thing, I read a thing where one of the Isley's asked him, "Hey, Jimi, you want some orange juice?" and he answered with the guitar. Ronnie Isley is so amazing. He's the best singer I've ever heard in my life, bar none. The Beatles were copying him when they did Twist And Shout.
