Erasing history Doesnt sound so bad. Its been a week quite similar to the feelings and esteem of one lonely Wintry week When a train derailment caused irreversible environmental and socail damages in Ohio, February 3rd 2023.
"South" is where I was then, where I am now and come to, since 24 years old at this very period ov th wheel ov th'year. 28 now, in Florida which I'm getting to know belongs to The inimitable geriatric population of America. In all the United States people have a forward and wholesome way of behaving which is not difficult to embrace.
A lady in stirrup leggings, a newspaper boy hat and sparkly platform shoes enters the central space of a food court at the flea market in Bradenton. She looks side to side like she's listening for something or judging the atmosphere and She says to me "Are we in Texas?" In reference to the country music guitarist and his singer. "I'm a psychological comedian ,.. then people do a singalong, and I don't know any of the fuckin' words!" To me she says this to emphasise how funny she finds the crowd and the setting, which I personally am amused by as well.
Well, I had several good talks with the people. I liked Rob the best, born 1950 in Sarasota, sold me some records from his incredible collection - and had a great quote "Aretha was playing on the radio, and then Purple haze came on after, and we did not understand what was going on. So much was happening at once and it never really stopped". And yes Rob, it is fucking insane to be in your own mind. When I walked in I loved the British blues spinning, "that was when people wanted to analyse every little detail of the music".
He talked a little more about how long it took to appreciate the Beatles or understand what was being done by what I call Hard-Classic Anglo American bands. "They made music which gave us decades of enjoyment" His perspective isn't singular or novel, but its like my elysium. How much I feel his feelings, it takes a long time to really know something.
One final conversation with a man from Wuhan mainland China. I tell him my basic familiarity of Guangzhou and the coastal Fuzhou. He's been in Florida 20 years, and sounds it, sitting upon piles and rows and rails and walls of strung beads and loose beads and jewelry, leaving me to feel like I'm in a bird's cage and thousands of colourful birds live there. "In China the worst thing was communism." I take that to mean what I think it means - the fundamental principles ov Chinese family culture is second to none. I enjoy talking to Chinese people and working with them. So I say that , and also that I really like traditional Chinese food. "It was forbidden to talk about our government. But we could talk about food. So a lot of attention went to cooking and making amazing flavoured food". Cuisine as coded expression, sounds good.
I love Los Angeles more than I understand And fire cycle makes room for something else. I look upon what happened to me in that place as dear fortune. For now that idea is only irritant -I think someone else is glad to say goodbye. My Pluto in Aquarius symbols mount. And Mars opposite Pluto instagram feed transforms, Ohhh for The Concern ov the Public.
