the greatest conservative fear; that the wild and experimental spirit of nature lets everything new, unfamilar and strange, suddenly loose, the moment man has put everything under control and made himself and his society comfortable. ‘tradition’ is that stalwart attempt to seize this dynamic, or at least anticipate with some suspicion its inevitable approach, and be ready for it. but every age, every empire, every culture, overestimates its preparedness and place in this continuum, and in finally losing its footing, its timing (e.g., the sudden springing forth of the 12/8 meter below), becomes dizzied with disorientation and uncertainty. this most aptly characterizes the conservative ethos against unpredictable oddities and copiousness; the nervous attempt to substitute the immortality of his culture for the mortality of himself. to ‘keep a simple beat’, as it were, for cultures to come. but 4/4 is outdated.
i just want to say i know how hard it can be sometimes when everywhere you go there are desperate degenerates and nihilists and lesbian soccer players with purple hair demanding equal pay and determinists and immigrants and democrats and morons. our world is bursting at the seams with indecision and uncertainty right now, and things are changing really fast. i understand how confusing all this can be, and sometimes when i need a little support i find wisdom and guidance in the work of wilson phillips. i’d like to send this one out to all of you in these troubled times…
wait what… did you just say you’re going to sight read the black page #1?
