LIVE ROCK, WHY?

LIVE ROCK CRITIC 2018                                                                                                       I did critically view Kanye West on Saturday Night Live Saturday.       I do not quite know what to think about the Drink Bottle Dance and musical performance. I may have gotten a skit although I thought it was Kanye. I have it recorded on DVR and I will view it again. The second number I thought was weak. He uttered some form of atrocity about slavery after he performed. 

I was considering what I would say motivated me to attempt to perform and to compose and to be able to produce popular music. I think I might have been motivated by my desire to propagate my thoughts and discoveries and political and social theories as one would write in a newspaper or in novels or non-fiction books, at one time nearly the only way that this was possible. Movies were a step above books because they could penetrate a greater audience and boldly present their vision.


Records of the type which might affect a wide audience became influential and Live Performance was possibly the extension of records into a realism and power which even movies have only recently attained. I became aware that the most effective attainable medium would be Live Performance. That was at a time decades ago when Live Performance was both commonplace in bars, dance clubs, dances and even at parties and Surreal, Otherworldly, and Mindblowing at the most excellent public performances in theaters, stadiums and at outdoor concerts.


I thought about how to communicate original thoughts discoveries and theories and how to blow them up huge as cartoons and performances of my observations, commentary and didaction. I had also been pursing material to write about in the past, musical circles seemed to be a likely source. I could thus play some harmonica, I began to really practice harmonica again and I danced and rollerbladed to be as fit and rhythmic as possible. I did the practice blitz more than once in the past using exclusively Hohner Diatonic Harmonicas. I thought that if I joined a successful band I could make a living and vigorously pursue the proliferation of my ideas and discoveries. 

Reduced to posting on the inter net hoping to get noticed. Vote the video above does proliferate a number of ideas.

I found this live performance in my Video files
