"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Nicely done, Roger. I think you're on the money with the horrible noise at the end.

Great rant!  LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!





I also have a prediction, but I'm going to hold off for a bit.

Badass rant!

I'll admit that I have the musical awareness of a turnip, and I choose what I listen to based purely on what I like filling my sound-holes. The cultural context of music isn't really something I'm usually cognizant of. It's pretty interesting to see it summarized like this.

Go ahead, but there's a lot more coming.  That was just the intro.

I have the feeling as soon as I take a class on music history I am going to end up citing this rant.

Oh yes. FUCK yes!

I like where this is going.

I love this. One of the things I love about hip-hop is that anybody with a laptop can make music and spread it around as much as they want. It's truly more punk than punk ever was, in spite of the highly visible completely co-opted mainstream element of the culture.

Yep, yep. Good shit.

Though, I disagree with one bit (though, it may be just me) but the function of music (at least some music. The good stuff, anyway) is not to distract us from the thunk at the end of the conveyor, rather it is an act of defiance. It's not ignoring the thunk, it's looking it straight in its stupid fucking ass-face and saying "Oh yeah, motherfucker? Well Come get me, you stinking piece of shit-puke."

You may get me, you stupid thunk, but I'll see to it that it's worse off for you than it was for me.

But, yeah. Thinking about it, I see how some people would be inclined to see it the way you described, as well as the possibility that blatantly ignoring the thunk is an act of defiance in itself...

Either way, cheers, man.

The best music does that, yeah.

I agree with that message... and the OP is great. I would also like to add a respectful minor niggle: isn't the relationship between jazz and blues more like sister to sister than mother to daughter? Emergence at roughly the same time and continuous cross-fertilization...
