“You do a commercial, you’re off the artistic roll call forever. End of story, OK? You’re another corporate fucking shill. You’re another whore at the capitalist gang bang, and if you do a commercial there’s a price on your head, everything you say is suspect, and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd falling into my drink.”

The late great Bill Hicks talking about the JFK Assasination

I’m on a Bill Hicks binge today. I have tons of homework to do but watching Bill Hicks is more self gratifying.

“no matter what promises they make on the campaign trail - blah, blah, blah - when you win the presidency, you go into this smoky room with the twelve industrialist, capitalist scumfucks that got you in there, and this little screen comes down… and it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before, which looks suspiciously off the grassy knoll…. And then the screen comes up, the lights come on, and they say to the new president, ‘Any questions?”

“

A horse walks into a bar where Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound are drinking.

BARTENDER (to horse): Why the long face?

WHITMAN (to everyone): I, too, am a horse.

POUND (to Whitman): Shut the fuck up.

Galaxie 500 - Listen, The Snow Is Falling (Yoko Ono cover)

Here’s Robert Christgau’s presciently trenchant review of 1990’s This Is Our Music:

Look, all you young white people, I know fate has dealt you a shitty hand. Rent stabilization is a joke, safe sex isn’t a joke, pollutants can really get you down, and forget the economy. Not to mention the decline of civility on our city streets. So if you just want to sit around and mope about it to each other, we understand. But if you’re looking for a helping hand, you’re going to have to reach out a little yourselves—that’s just human nature. Show some get-up-and-go, crack a few jokes, like on the first song. As my grandpa used to say: “Laugh and the world laughs with you/Weep and you weep alone.”

Yoko Ono - Walking On Thin Ice

Aside from being a Disco Not Disco classic, there’s a lot of history to this track:

[Yoko Ono] and John Lennon concluded the recording of the song on December 8, 1980. It was upon their return from the recording studio to The Dakota (their home in New York City) that Lennon was assassinated by Mark David Chapman. John had stayed up all night the preceding weekend listening to a preliminary mix of the song, and died clutching a final mix of it in his hands. Lennon’s lead guitar work on the track, which he had recorded that day, and praised by many as the most fascinating of his career, was thus his final creative act. — Wikipedia
