        @roshambo123 it ain't religion, it's just lovin' Jesus Christ. f**k religion, all power to Master of the Universes.

        It's a unending source of interest to me how among a certain group of Christians it became unfashionable to describe their set of beliefs as a "religion." It's like if an animal said, "I'm a Golden Retriever." And you said "You're a type of dog." And they said, "f**k dogs. I'm a Golden Retriever."

        The planet is only a shithole because humans (many of whole believe they are “saved”) have recklessly exploited it without any thought to what their responsibility is to tend and maintain the planet for themselves and future generations.

        As for Jesus, my thought is he was a very spiritually advanced individual whose message has been corrupted and twisted for two thousand years. This is especially prominent when you consider the books that failed to get canonized which paint a much deeper picture of Jesus’ religious vision.

        In God we trust. All others pay cash.
        This philosophy that has served me well for many years.
        There are many religious factions that have invoked the name of God to serve their own purposes of mass control.

        It's either a traditional song, or a known-composer gospel song: I should google.

        I was aware that it had bee "quoted" by the Dead as well as by the String Band, but I couldn't recall when. I was going to google that!

        The wonderful (but some people can't stand them) Incredible String Band made it an integral part of that song. Which should be a part of every biology syllabus! ...

        I don't need a wife,
        Living the timeless life,
        If I need a friend,
        I just give a wiggle,
        Split right down the middle,
        And when I look,
        There's two of me,
        Just as handsome as can be

        (off the top of my head)

        Another of these "found" snippets that I love is Happy Trails, used to close off the album of the same name by Quicksilver Messenger Service.

        I've waxed lyrical about that album several times. It is pretty much my epitome of a perfectly-formed, symphonic, rock album.

        I love them. But then, the treble spike is my hearing aid. Even though I've already boosted vocal frequencies (at least) in EQ.

        You can't hate this headphone if you have the right 800 in the right system. Unit to unit variance is a thing. There's also a reason that people say you have to build a system around it.

        FedEx / UPS / USPS - will easily take your money for "insurance" coverage, but will fight you tooth and nail to actually cut those checks for the BS that is their fault. Have gone through claims process a few times. Takes 1-3 months average for me, and if your buyer is cooperative in the process of (taking pictures, sending damaged items, etc.).

    4 years after n+1 magazine's Mark Grief autopsied the dead specter of the hipster, in Lana del Rey’s satirical-autobiographical “Brooklyn Baby” there’s an easy mondegreen when she sings “my jazz collections rare”—she could just as easily be singing “my jazz collections real” —either way, this liberal postmodern obsession with “authenticity” and nostalgia-as-radical-chic cred fetishizes and amasses cultural capital, bc that’s all it can do: see and be seen as countercultural, taking revolutionary symbols of the not-so-distant past as fashion icons, as totems, as fetish objects, all the while caching sprezzatura as reified capital. It’s the same move when the hippies turned into the pioneers of Silicon Valley.
