Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from December 15, 2016 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

on this song: "depicts Ebenezer Joshua the head of labor union and head of the government of Saint Vincent (island) vacationing during a time of labor strife leading indirectly to the deaths of three men. The accuracy of Von Schmidt's characterization of Joshua's involvement in the incident has been disputed. Given that Mr. Joshua died poor and remains a revered figure on the island, his depiction in the song is probably less sympathetic than it should be."

If you don't like Conrad, it probably won't change your mind, Scraps. It's definitely got the decadence of a writer late in his career, and all his patriarchal tendencies are in full force. If you don't like Heart of Darkness, you might just not like Conrad

Never knew that about Dylan & Joseph Conrad & Nabokov - tho' I did know that about Townes & Tolkien. Everybody says Conrad is like the most accomplished writer - & English wasn't his original language - but Polish? They now have these coffee-table books about every Dylan song - & it's interesting to learn from whence the elements derive...
Not sure how much I've actually heard 'Folk' versions of John B. even. What about the roots of 'Louie Louie'? That would be interesting...

Just encountered recently the post-stardom story of Tommy Kirk, who did heavy work for Disney from Mickey Mouse Show Hardy Boys serial, through Old Yeller, Flubber films, Swiss Family Robinson and plenty more. Walt fired him when he learned he was gay. But he was a money-maker so they brought him back in for a few things. Adult life beyond that not good at all for a long while.
