Why do you think musicians like Charles bukowski?
You’d have to ask one, I don’t think of myself that way.
The little clips I’ve seen and the takeaways…
I like that he didn’t give a fuck.
Seems like he despised all this..
I like that part,
It does no good,but I like it.
Josh was echoing back some of the things I’ve said to him, in small conversations,one on one.
“a doctor makes money when you’re sick, it’s not in his best interest for you to be well”
Zoom out at a healthcare system..
You think I’m evil?
You think I’m the problem?
Yo..
Right there.
One of many.
Then he talked about how, in the past,a person could hold a job,,and afford.
A home.
A vehicle.
A spouse.
A kid heading to college.
True story.
Seems like in the 50’s and 60’s…you could work forty hours and be OK.
Fuck what the dollar is worth, forget about that…
And I chimed in with the thought I’m always hung up on.
“mankind is a creature of consumption, it will never be satisfied”
Need more.
Gimme more.
I deserve it,by birth, by desire, by fate….
Munch munch munch 🤤
More Kratom.
More distraction.
More short term satisfaction..
A beautiful part of playing music.
(you have to earn it)
You’re goddamn right you do!
You earn your clothes, then you go stand in this room of unique people, wearing their unique clothes.
Medicine.
Influence.
A thought on a beat.
And there’s an entire list of words you don’t want attached to you..
“crazy”
Insubordinate, stubborn..
Puts you on the outside, keeps you out of the great party..
But there’s a place for those labels…
I digress…
Let me be real….
(If you say real talk, I probably won’t trust you-andre 3000 )
Fine…
Let me say..
Let me just say..
I want to like people.
I want to like them.
I want to believe.
And I meet a few gems 💎
A few ..
(the world breaks them too)
A lot of times…yeah..it does.
But seriously 😣
I don’t want to be Raphael.
I want to be Leonardo.
That’s who I wanted to be..
Not this…
Do you ever wonder what George Washington would think of modern cocaine?
Me neither 🤣
I’m tired of being high every day.
For real.
Tired of it..
It doesn’t make my output good..
(not like booze)
Booze makes it easy,not good.
Makes it easy to drop the walls.
Doesn’t make what’s behind them worth anything.
Kick you in the nuts with clown shoes..
I do like seeing people get upset, It’s a sick thing, But only because they go so hard.
It’s only because of the way they talk.
Hubris.
Without humility.
I hate that.
I kind of like it when they get forced to shut up, Even if it’s only for a moment.
Feels nice.
(not your team)
No.
None of them are so I won’t pretend like I’m celebrating a victory..
I’m only saying..
I like that part.
