'We want to make the known world as irrational as it actually is. College told us that tragedy is the highest form of art. Sophocles, Aeschylus, what about the guy who kills his father, sleeps with his mother, then wanders the world looking for Harvard?' Nietzsche in The Birth of a Tragedy suggests that emotion interferes with thought. But to me if you are not emotional you cannot think. What cannot feel, cannot think. And so, we want to make the known world as irrational as it actually is. And what is feeling that goes unexpressed, where does it leave our intellect? The use of music must be understood in this context. Music is feeling as thought as feeling. It has psychical properties that carry intellectual and spiritual correspondences not limited by its physical properties. 'The laughter at the bottom of the world, the frown at the top.' The toppling of this dialectic into its canto jundo. So that it may function. Why should we give them more reality than they have? And why should we subject ourselves to self-satisfied tragedy that shields itself from paroxysms of glee. The Djali( gleeman(see glee club) and Griot (cryer (see there's a riot going on) are the same force within sound compelling us to move out of sense and into sentience. Enter the sweepstakes that will decide the next tragic hero and don't win. Draw, drop out of you have to, get even higher than usual just off everything you forget to think you are doing
