Mainstream
Monday, 21 November 2011
When I was younger, mainstream music used to really bother me, it was an affront, and insult that this inferior product was so widely revered.
Now I wouldn’t know the mainstream if it burst through the windows & ran through the room naked and farting. I’m completely unaffected by it, in fact, I know nothing about it. It might seem exotic and exciting to me now, this naked, farting trespasser.
John Cage once said this: “We live in a time not of mainstream but of many streams, or even, if you insist upon a river of time, then we have come to delta, maybe even beyond delta to an ocean which is going back to the skies.”
