    I think the world needs a lot more bluesy old black guys to inspire the leaders of the future.

    i get where he's coming from. one of those cool images that's like comfort food for the soul. so long as you've got one of those badass motherfuckers sitting at a crossroads somewhere, you know there's still magic in the universe and words of wisdom to absorb.

    mitok is either a racist smartass
    in which case, anything he sez is a triumph
    or is totally serious n bein ironic
    n in that end o it, i think he means
    there is a certain inspiration
    which he has experienced
    uncanny subtle wisdom
    that sorta thingy
    which these "world leaders"
    of which he speaks
    apparently lack
    n the world might be a better place
    if they were to envelop/assimilate
    that which he has become impressed with
    cuz he's very young n impressionable

    n to that, i add
    at risk o further smattering o disallusionment
    they know
    they're in antipathy of it
    n recent resurgence o such charactatures
    in the media n other familiar freaky places
    stereotypes bein safely assumed fully intact
    only serves to divide us further, as peasants
    otherwise, why bother
    everybody knows the "world leaders" lack
    the wisdom o "bluesy old black guys with incredibly long legs"
    n the wisdom o jazzy middle aged purple guys with bare feet
    n any other random assorted combinations ya like
    that's the whole point

    People need to realize that art and politics should be kept seperate. I cannot stand it when bands preach.

    there was an episode of metalocalypse where the band was on a journey and some blues guy was trying to teach them the blues and they learned it and it turned out to be metal.

    all blues is about trains anyway

    "what?" - Mitok

    "all blues is about trains anyway" - Death

    yes
    dazzit man
    these world leaders Mitok is disappointed with
    are missing that lil bitta zen mantra wisdom
    evident in the conjured characature

    we're all on a journey
    thru life, thru history, etc
    from the cave to the stars, etc
    but they're happy where we're at now

    civilization is sposedta be a work in progress
    ever changing/evolving as we evolve/advance
    so we make amendments to the constitution
    it's a living breathing thing
    it also needs food, water
    fresh air, sunshine
    but what's next
    ain't comin, is it ?

    it would from our bluesman
    the blues guy's real
    prolly the most honest music in existence
    instant spirituality - no pretention
    jus heartfelt emotion

    he aint lyin
    he may kid ya
    but he aint fulla shit

    but the man is pretty-packaged
    bright n tight n white for the masses
    we want change, we want more o the same
    we know who our guy is, who has a chance

    but the real solution
    the real key
    the real answer
    has been cast out
    ridiculed
    even idealized
    whatever works
    it's unattainable
    n we settle for a little jazzy
    n buy that we're makin progress
    n try to zen zone in on patience
    take solace in a spiritual

    but they like war
    they like poverty everywhere
    they like aids n viagra n global warming
    they like everybody confused n chasin shadows

    that's our role in this
    we're the clueless masses

    suddenly, our skinny legged friend
    seems slightly less than serious

    they're not talkin to the people
    they're playin to their contributors
    jus... the people're watchin
    so jazz it up a lil
    n smile all nice

    they got no blues
    they got no soul
    they got no jive or rock n roll
    ain't never worked at a car wash
    ain't never had enough food, money, etc

    they like it at the top
    n who can blame em
    but ok wit their own complacency ?
    it's justa theory, this talk o conspiracy

    there's enough to go around
    u can redistribute wealth, n safely
    there's enough smart people to give it a try
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population

    but they like bein the only ones who got
    they like it, that most other people don't
    n will prolly never even have a chance to
    n that's one thing that don come to mind
    not inspired by the stereotype image
    which is the subject o dis thread

    but what specific qualities
    might they adopt n personify
    class, respect, taste, character, mojo ?

    guts n glory
    that's what sells

    "When Facism comes to America
    it will be wrapped in a flag
    and carrying a cross."
    - Sinclair Lewis

    when humility comes to power
    when power comes to humility
    when truth comes to the people
    when the people come to truth
    there will be a guitar in the equation
    n the music'll be moving

    I dont like when anybody preaches, but why should art and politics *not* mix?? Art is pure expressionism, and everyone wants to vent.
