I'm really into the blues right now

I just got a new harmonica with my friend Aiyana today, it's a c. I love how buying harmonica's sounds like buying a bra. I was buying it and the lady at the store says "what do you want it in?" and I said "hmmm, do you have any in a g?" and she says no, so I say "well I'll just get the one in a c then." It was pretty cheap too, only 12 bucks. So now I'm listening to Robert Johnson, Junior Wells, Little Walter and Willie Dixon. I dunno, I think that after the whole civil rights movement, the blues was kind of killed, cause even though there were things like "my girl just dumped me" blues, there wasn't that underlying feeling of oppression any longer, that was at the heart of blues music. But enough with that intellectual crap.

Then after buying a harmonica I went to Parson's to pick up my friend Carolyn, who is really into indie culture and whatnot. We went to Ft. something, to go to this girl Lara's house, who is mad obnoxious. Then we walked to Park Slope and I felt very excluded. I dunno, I'm just tired of all this indie garbage, it's like the people into that scene are just as bad as mainstream culture, just listen to different music and buy cheaper clothes sometimes. Same shit new asshole kind of deal. A lot of people in that scene act like their into art and music just cause they can name names, but if you don't have the talent or the respect for the artists and musicians that paved the way, you're just spitting game.

I'm totally into what Basquiat was trying to do, he saw what was happening to the art world, and how it was becoming just about the money and a search for legitimacy, and he started an effort to kill the monster. He regressed his style to the raw essence of art, just drawing and writing what he thought, laughing at the idiots trying to decipher it, because not everything needs a meaning if it's what you love to do. Would you ask Robert Johnson why he wrote music? No, would you ask Miles Davis where he got his note from? No. People just need to sit back and enjoy the ride.
