Living "in" A Story, Being Part Of A Narrative, Is Much More Satisfying Than Living Without One. I Don't Always Know What Narrative It Is, Because I'm Living My Life And Not Always Reflecting On It, But As I Edit These Pages I Am Aware That I Have An Urge To See My Sometimes Random Wandering As Having A Plot, A Purpose Guided By Some Underlying Story.

Living "in" A Story, Being Part Of

Living "in" A Story, Being Part Of A Narrative, Is Much More Satisfying Than Living Without One. I Don't Always Know What Narrative It Is, Because I'm Living My Life And Not Always Reflecting On It, But As I Edit These Pages I Am Aware That I Have An Urge To See My Sometimes Random Wandering As Having A Plot, A Purpose Guided By Some Underlying Story.

I'm Just An Advertisement For A Version Of Myself.

I've Rarely Kept My Distance From Kind Of - I Don't Know If We Can Call It Politics, But Kind Of, Civic Engagement And That Kind Of Thing, Except I Tended To Think, 'well, Do It Yourself Before You Start Telling Other People What They Should Be Doing.'

With Pop Music, The Format Dictates The Form To A Big Degree. Just Think Of The Pop Single. It Has Endured As A Form Even In The Download Age Because Bands Conform To A Strict Format, And Work, Often Very Productively, Within The Parameters.

So There's No Guarantee If You Like The Music You Will Empathize With The Culture And The People Who Made It. It Doesn't Necessarily Happen. I Think It Can, But It Doesn't Necessarily Happen. Which Is Kind Of A Shame.

When Things Get So Absurd And So Stupid And So Ridiculous That You Just Can't Bear It, You Cannot Help But Turn Everything Into A Joke.
