But then the planet would appreciate one less car, and we are like the planets face rash....so either way, take me universe, to the bus stop...i am lucky i have feet. xx

Wells Tao Joe Rogan is not "non-mainstream", he's absurdly overpaid and has years of experience on old commercial broadcast formats hyping bug eating and UFC. He's incredibly entitled and stupid because he IS so mainstream.

yeah I struggle with this weird idea, around political purity, about the picture of a flawed whole person vs themselves as a clean commodity, more likely to be licensed the right to speak. Pixie's did a credit card commercial right at the time I was learning about how cards were handed out to avoid paying to the workers, what computers increase of productivity were paying out. !970's in the US, 1990's here in NZ. Still can't listen to them with out seeing a smiling demented genius Black Francis, rubbing his hands, finally getting paid.

something about how the Doors, and Bill Hicks, draw a shakey but visible line, between commercialism and their need to make money continues to inspire me. But the 'purity' rap also troubles me.. perhaps it's used to deligitimize but also an indication that the relationship needs examining. Like how Walk Whitman being a fucking racist, changes his poetry. In an important way, that I feel adds to it.

"a vicious six-year legal battle in which Densmore tried to stop Manzarek and the band’s guitarist, Robby Krieger, from touring under the Doors name as well as selling the band’s music for use on a Cadillac commercial. “I know. I sued my bandmates – am I CRAZY?!” he yells. People certainly thought he was. It is not usual to spend years in court trying to stop yourself from earning millions of dollars to prove a point about the value of artistic integrity over the pursuit of money. “What can I say? Jim’s ghost is behind me all the time,” Densmore says. “My knees were shaking pretty strong when they upped the offer of $5m (£3.8m) to $15m. But my head was saying: Break on Through for a gas-guzzling SUV? No!”

Seems everyone has a select frequency for their own line of time. - tw

I love all the conspiracy theories. Some seem more real than others, but it's kind of shocking at how quickly that can change, and that I don't love so much. But what I mean by love is that I love diving into it all, not some list handed to me by some random, but all that comes my way. I want to consider it all. I refuse to not go and figure out for myself what the fuck is being said that is going on. By who, for what. My study of history, my awareness of human intellect, has taught me that the human story is as complicated as you can make it and as simple as it comes down to it. I 've know my own mistreatment's, my own failures, I own my experiments, failed and successful. Historical, hereditary, environmental and social. Culturally I'm fine with being considered avant garde, or outside, near the edge, running through what's left of no-man's land. Here in the mountains, where one can look across the valley, grab what perspective is offered, but I wouldn't want to assume or self isolate unnecessarily, I may be as central and in the center as you, you each of course as rare as the next. I love that trick of perspective, Parallax I believe it is called. Again part of why I would always choose to listen, but yes I can't always guarantee that I'll hear what it is that's being said. Seems everyone has a select frequency for their own line of time. - tw
