pretending they had a significant impact on their lives. :rolleyes:
He was little better than a circus performer, ffs! His main role was to give people something to look at while the people in charge twiddled knobs.
God, I really do hate 'people'. They're such cùnts.
I like music. a lot.Quote:

shame when one of them you like dies and all that. . . but life goes on.
Well, for a start there are musicians who have inspired others to take up an instrument. Or in Bunnel's case, to twiddle some knobs.Quote:

Or in this case, to bang a load of speed, go out and be all lairy at night clubs, pull a stripper, nick a car and drive home wildly while swigging a bottle of champagne and crashing into things, for some hot lesbionics.
careful with the difference between liking someone's music and being inspired by the musician, a.Quote:

I may have dressed a certain way, ingested stuff, or taken a path in life regardless of what the soundtrack was.
The very worst place to take acid. No control over set and setting, which as any student of Dr Leary or Robert Anton Wilson will understand, is of prime importance.Quote:

If they'd been playing fluffy shîte I'd probably just have found the bar. It takes real magic, from the people that made the records, and from the DJ, to make you lose it like that. The police tried to bust the party, but when they saw I was alone on the dancefloor having a full blown argument with the mid-range, they realised that if the music got switched off, they'd have a sectioning to deal with and that was far too much hassle for a Sunday lunchtime. So the party continued.
25 Fat Freddies Cats in Rome about 3-4 years later was pretty freaky, too.
But at its best, I've had a 303 save my mind. Many, many times.
Seeing music actually come alive for the first time is pretty special.
In some ways this life is the illusion, and the spiritual plane is real. And given the musicians, DJs and record producers and livesets, play a role in taking you there, then yes, they have had a very significant impact on my life.
I did some in the Guatemalan jungle once surrounded by Mayan temples and pyramids. That was quite something, but at least I didn't get some dreadlocked soap-dodger suddenly roaring up in front of my face.Quote:

The combination of hallucinogenic substance and general clientelle would often leave one quite frightened.
