You'll be o.k.

“A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.”
Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)

So, there’s always some issue in the news for people to be concerned over…well most people.  I rarely see anything and think it’s going to be a big issue for me.  What I have begun to notice is how slow parents (the groups they belong to), politicians and the media are.  The more I check out things that are held up as “serious issues” the older I realize they are.

“What can you say about a society that says that God is dead and Elvis is alive?”
Irv Kupcinet

Today I have an special interview for you kids.  This guy is big time and you’ve heard his name kicked around a lot lately.  I figured that instead of relying on second and third party sources, I’d just go directly to the source.  So here it is, enjoy!

Classic or Corny by Amadeo

Who's the master

“The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.”

H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

I’m wondering, I mean I’m getting tired of sounding like an old man when I talk, so I’ve started doing research.  I hate 95% of entertainment that is new…I think it sucks donkey balls.  Anyway, I wanted to try and determine if perhaps what’s popular now will last or just fade out, even if the young people who are into it now will think it’s garbage later.

Desire

“Dwell not upon thy weariness, thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire.”
Arab Proverb

Amadeo vs. 80’s babies (at least those born after 85) by Amadeo

Written by: on Jul 31 | My Response To, Just thinking... | No Comments »

This is a response to cats at the Kweli show and the fact that I’m closer to 30 than my last rant.

You better know who this is. 

“A certain administration which I won’t call by name took the arts out of the schools, and that left the brothers out on the street with nothing, so they went to the turntables and started rhyming. Then they had a way to express themselves, and that’s the birth of hip-hop.”
Isaac Hayes
