O Nature, most impartial, most awesome terrorist…

Jack and Ange.
I can speak only for myself, but I am imbued very happily in masterpieces of transcendent dance, music and film.
Imbued very cheaply, too, I might add.
Bollywood DVDs now run about 3 for $10.
CDs of Asha Bhosle and Chitti Babu are usually about $5 apiece.
My raks sharqi classes are $105 for a ten-class card.
The trick is obviously to GET OUT OF EUROPE!
Europe was never that interesting anyway, except in how it used the materials it robbed from “the East.”
Ange, I’m not arguing for mass culture per se as high art. I detest American mass culture and avoid it at all costs. But there are other mass cultures that are very very wonderful indeed.
And frankly, I’ll take V, Shantaram over Balanchine ANY day. Or Guru Dutt over… I don’t know… Donald Judd.
Hmm. I’m not convinced that an oeuvre consisting mainly of recombinations of observed sensory details and labored puns is exactly… Blakean.
But to me, Ron is very closely allied to URIZEN.

I’ve written a “simple test of a good writer” but it’s too cynical to post even here. If you’re curious, I’ll send it to you.

Battered gal’s ‘roid rage soothes the million dollar condors
and their lowly worm’s luscious cameltoe which,
like a vornado creampie in monkey sportswear,
emits a “cry of the soul” as radiant as the art of songs,
or the art of thongs, or three-pronged arguments
that wrap into the haunch of dead enthusiasm rapt
in henna, terracotta, and polyurethane like a swizzle stick
in the (e)urethra of the truly bored. So strike up the sarod,
fellas, and wiggle your fngers on the skins, drummer boys.
Like you, I hear it all technically, a mountain of rouge
on a pale imitation, wallowing in the anemic spirit of time.
Call me e-mail — call me anything — but call me.
The process was interrupted by an abrupt allocution:
“I don’t want you to conceal anything.”
