Brazilian Love Affair - proof that sum ol' dogs can do new tricks

Brazilian Love Affair– The Student Ascends

The 3 states of chatter:

1. thought

2. speech

3. action

In my opinion, the time for talk is long past. Upon occasion tears of joy have penetrated the emotional cage of my stoical defences when re-remembering the latter 60’s and early 70’s. Even without the psychedelic purple, iridescent, Mallard-green platforms, beige bell bottoms and coffee coloured Texican style shirt collars and the endless stream of musical revelations that assailed these fresh (and grateful) ears - some of those days I now see as the happiest times of my life.

Truly, some solace is extracted from watching millennials and Gen Text’ers having their milk-toast minds blown by really real music, such as Cocker’s, ‘Delta Lady’, The Staple Singers, ‘I’ll Take You There’, Sly Stone’s, ‘It’s a Family Affair’ and 10 CC’s ‘I’m Not in Love’.

Admittedly the music on this vid is more Sex Pistols meets Beastie Boys but I like the underlying sentiment-bending rebellious spirit – an’ like me, they ain’t no spring chickens neither.

The point here – if there is any point at all to be made, is about taking information and learning and acting on it in some definite way. Granted, not every effort will end in immediate success, but tbh, the way things are coming apart at the seams, I prefer to take my chances rather than waiting for their Abrahamic Armageddon. Besides, I got my own dystopia’s to contend with an' believe me, they’re far more imaginative and substantial than this ‘Johnny nonsense’, as Bermas puts it.

This is what our Brazilian compadre did, btw, he went to a workshop and put his plans in motion. It must be some kind of grand accomplishment to stand back and survey his little rammed-earth desert-palace. 

Who knows maybe I’ll get to make my own some day, eh?

Well, what I wish for me I also wish for you, something with a bit of soul that you co-created, a strong-hold in the moral wilderness, right.

Anyways this is me fer now – perhaps I’ll be less winsome next time, (but then agin) – stay safe till then, & stay rebel.
