letter 01.26.01

i hope when i get to the point where i can perform my music before a live audience, that someone is making a bootleg. if i go on tour, i'll call it the bootleg tour. what makes me think of it is a bootleg i have. it is too good not to have. yet, i must keep it for myself because of the laws on music. i quite like outlaw music. the kind no one makes money on. free music. some bands. many bands or composers or whatever, are fuckin' happy to have someone listen.

and many are better than britney.

it doesn't prove nothin' 'sept that there is a would beyond the corporate world. hard to imagine. unless you kill your tv and radio. and avoid pop media. then you'll be fuckin' surprised.

if anyone reading this knows maynard ferguson, beg him to record live.

irreverence follows irrelevance.

violence and pillaging has become corporate.
one of the primates has gone astray.
the moon is still out in full light.
the bombs have all been put away.

the christians have germany now. things may get hard again. or things could get fuzzy. the government means little. it attempts to be loud about it. you won't always know what to say. words are used to play. around a meaning. give it form.

we'll leave it at that.

_peace duck stop_

bootleg life and give it out for free.

_peace duck stop_

aufregung. ganz langsam.

zum beispiel:

six parts. together one. objective. to feel what senses can accept. pain and pleasure.

ende beispiel.

the big conspiracy. there isn't any. the insane asylum has been taken over by ichabods. or something posing so. i've liked most of the ichabods i know.

this can't be calculated by a machine. read as random reference. outside of meaning is survival management.

i saw someone get shot in central park. from a long way away. it could have been anyone. but it wasn't. my plane leaves soon.

_peace duck stop_
