I am suspecting that I have a low tolerance for hype?

[Flaneur]

Yep- I've never been an 'early adopter', either......

and sometimes, even great, timeless art, can be obscured- and appear repellent- due to the ways in which it's marketed.

I think I was 14 or 15, before I could summon the confidence to tell my high school friends, that I disliked this year's hot band- Uriah Heep- and preferred my Mum's favourites....Glenn Miller, or my Dad's.....Django. A traitor, to youth culture!

I don't understand everything that @ping-ping-clicka writes, but I always look forward to hearing his thoughts. Keep 'em coming!

Thank You for your support my brother.
when I first started hanging out I could not really put a sentence together (chemobrain ) . now I articulate enough to get suspended for a month at a time , by the way that's supposed to be a joke HA-HA-HA-HA, but I forget that I've been informed that I'm not funny , another joke, Haaaaa Ha-Ha

I bring my SECRET DECODER : dyslexia with me every time that I post.

 

[ping-ping-clicka]

Charles and Dick?
Or Marilyn and Mojo?

Charles and Dick, very good, always a treat. I hope that you and your spouce are well and prosperous.

He didn't have that funky rhythm at all. Without it there is no stank.

very very tasty and they come in the color that goes with everything.

 

[ChicknPickn]

Just don't let it get in the way of buying some of the exclusive and super-awesome stuff that's out there.

(In a fake southern drawl)
Well enough but far from prosperous thank you!

If you realize flying in a bomber and being shot at over enemy territory is crazy then you aren’t crazy and they can order you to do it.
If you don’t realize it is crazy then you are crazy and they won’t stop you from going on a bombing mission.
Either way you go on the bombing mission. Catch 22.
It has been since my middle teens when I read that book. It kind of sticks with you.

I don’t wanna like the stuff everybody wants me to like but part of me wants to like the stuff that everybody likes

once I had learned about Antonin Artaud, and his Theater of Cruelty, and Eugène Ionesco, Theater of the Absurd I was freed from the monotheistic brutality of MAKING SENSE and the imposition of "Logic on the Written Word" .
William S Burroughs and Kevin Gyson with their proofs of the validity of CUT UPS through the doing of such, via cheap drugstore tape recorders in the left bank lodging house at 9 rue Gît-le-Coeur come to be known as the Beat Hotel.
All things considered, the passage of time, non-linear dyslexic formulation, i.e. the gathering and storing of information and intuitive collation into conceptual packets of self expression.
(YEAH, he really does think that what he is thinking is the most interesting thing at any given moment.)

Much insightful analysis and pick-pick-pick has gone into Catch-22.
It is echoed by the statement made by Joint Command , "We had to Destroy the Village to Save it"
and the eternally echoing statement, " That Statement is Now Inoperable.".
Insanity seems to be a airborne pathogen that travels while mutating from generation to generation.
Always arriving at the same outcome in various forms.

 

[Happy Enchilada]

Gettin' deep in here. Roll up your pantlegs and get a shovel.

I'll just keep chillin' to EC's first self-titled album (the one with the Bramletts and those folks from Tulsa).
I too am tired of the hype with which EVERYTHING gets sold these days.
Music without talent and featuring way too much digital production.
Maybe I'll put Bonnie Raitt's "Sweet Forgiveness" on next.
Gotta love a bass player with a name like "Freebo."

 

[1955]

If 1955 were here, he could 'splain it quick as a whiplash on an English cabby's horse's behind.

Still life with nose. Unrelated, but that’s what I’m going with until I can read the thread.

 

[johnny7]

I was going to read the thread but realized that there was too much hype in the title. So I moved on to a thread with less hype.

The more you spend, the more you save.

 

[Telekarster]

Ya'll just don't know how to speak Ping. It took me a while but once I figured out that, in reality, all I needed to do was pay closer attention. Like when I occasionally walk through the whirly gum drops that seemingly drip, off the trees, the lonely tree that was once part of the great spectrum in the afterlife, now uprooted due to the garbage left behind by those who took it with them when they passed over, cause they didn't recycle, and the entire conundrum is simply brushed aside by Bowie, tirelessly doing his best to make some notable sense of the chaos of the Cosmos and the inevitable sensations that come from being part of the particle that surrounds us.

I digress

 

[Nogoodnamesleft]

Being a hardcore cynic, I approach hype with heavy doses of skepticism.

But hey, maybe I’m wrong. Many people would say probably.

 

[985plowboy]

The man say his BS-o-meter has a hair trigger.
And that’s all I have to say about that.

I can always rely on you to put things in perspective. I used to worry that I actually understand most of your and Ping Ping's post, but I realize, it's just like being left handed ain't a lot to be done for it!
