Brilliance
Saw the Arcade Fire last night at Webster Hall in New York. They are, um, the best. Canada is doing something very musically right, these days.
Hey "conservatives": do you ever wonder why there are so few of you who make music, who make art, who make films, who write novels, who teach in schools, who work in scientific laboratories? Who make things that make other people's lives better rather than worse?
Could it be that it's because people who succumb to the ideology to which you've succumbed are just stupid? I.e., not that smart? Is that why most of you people are employed selling crap--and I mean, in the vast percentage of cases, actual worthless (if not outright dangerous) crap--to people only marginally stupider than yourselves?
Just think about it, next time you listen to a really good record.
