To help give some context to this track I'll tell you an old fable from the steppes
Those with strength and nerves fight all day long Those with strength but no nerves just argue endlessly Those with both nerves and brains are the ones in command Those with brains and strength light the Olympic flame And those with strength, brains, and nerves? They make adult films
But if you have the nerves, yet lack both strength and brains The deceptive dice will surely pull you in If you have the brains, but lack both strength and nerves Then you're nothing more than a failed poet Poetic sorrow is just too much to bear It’s got plenty of rhyme, but absolutely no sense None at all
And if you have no strength, no brains, and no nerves whatsoever... ...then you are the true unnamed, metaphysical essence!
np: I can't believe how long it took me to find this; a friend of Astaš's put it up here ages ago, and I've been hunting for it because it’s honestly such a gem: swings of movies
p.s. Astaš, old friend, you really ought to drop by and visit once in a while. )) p.p.s. Since I'm already mentioning him, wiredmason61, it's finally the weekend—enjoy yourself! 🙂 😁
Hey everyone, I might have mentioned this already, but one of my students at my current school just dropped the most "poetic" line of romantic verse I’ve ever heard, and it goes: 'OH MY GOD I AM A GUY!', which was written by the same absolute genius who previously informed me that the author of the *Canciones* was actually named Thursday.
We’ve been running some comic book workshops at the school lately, and one of my colleagues—who honestly thinks he knows everything—was lecturing the kids on how Japanese manga is written from right to left, following that reverse diagonal flow. One of the students just looked at him and said they basically have some kind of weird, chaotic headspace 😁 ... ))
I’m not actually listening to Thompson; I’m just messing around. We’ve been doing stuff like this here for ages, just joking around, and honestly, sometimes it feels a bit foolish, but that’s just how it goes.
On the other hand, when it comes to American music, I much prefer Far Coast, and I have a huge soft spot for Bob Dylan 🙂 )) -> both the man and the poet.
