I read this quote by Aleister Crowley:

"I do not want to have anything to do with a conventionally minded person any more than I want to eat canned salmon."

Talk about a wake-up call: I was eating canned salmon when I read this.

You know why Rhythm & Blues (and by extension, Jazz, Hip-Hop, etc.) is the greatest music ever made? Not because it expresses the historic suffering of a downtrodden people and their dreams of a better life. No, the reason R&B is the greatest music ever made is that, on any given R&B record, they get some fresh, totally original sound because one of the musicians forgot to bring his instrument to the recording session, and they had to improvise with materials at hand.

Â… I mean, how the hell do you FORGET to bring your instrument to a recording session?! Only an R&B guy could do that.
