[Click to View YouTube Video]This GEM is for my friend C4/1971.
"Hey, Dada, who's Dino Valente?"
During our reckless youth in C4 we'd often drive the Valley Loop listening to my 8-track spreading vibes in our wake.
QSM was one of the standard double-LPs to which we grooved
(It's what you do when you listen to records--you "groove")
Playing on the 8-track mounted just behind the driver's seat in the Econoline
(Where it was handy enough that I could change out the cartridges while at the wheel)
That or the Gratefuls' double-LP.
Thank gosh we didn't have TOO many New Yorkers/Easterners aboard...these were the inimitable Andy Cox and the heavy John Waterman and the funny-as-shit Wally Schamonizz (taking liberty with the surname of a guy whose background to me was always a little fuzzy)
George Meyers rode with us as well.
It was my way of absorbing Eastern culture, coming to know names like Bein and Boldstone and Suhl, whom Millis had already met.
But the name of Dino V always seemed not to be dredged up.
Maybe these guys were not all that "hip."
But they sure could climb, and that's probably why--their heads were in the clouds of weed smoke and the clouds surrounding the pretty crags of the Valley.
I was driving a C4 version of the YNP&CC Tweet Buses and did not realize it.
Whatcha gonna do?

Back in those days, my mentor Millis was coming to terms with alcohol vis-a-vis dope.

^^^An offer hard to refuse, the horse's head in bed, as seen in GodDada part one.
Timid TopRope, my friend, uke cant' make it rain, can you?
Anyone "expert" on Dadaism is full of DooDoo.
It's explained here as well as I've ever heard but mo' bettah.

Understanding of the vulgar.
We proles arp art of the vulgarity.
e eek cummings is one of the vulgarest.
Vulgarians seem to be such, but is it just a pose?
I think not, therefore I observe and then I serve up some word-turds with fuzzy thinking.
The Mamas and the Dadas:
Just what can you say about a phat chick who sang like a bird
and a skinny one who ate like a bird and also sang like a bird.
Words cannot
Images cannot
Film cannot
You and I and Gnome cannot
Explain dada.
names for art "movements" are full of shyte and only mean something if you are a student of art
none of this means anything or takes anything away from such as the weedge
imitation domination by one's stilted imagination causes regurgitation
if one is an "artist" cannot be a dada
mankind will never be purified and why bother?
i don't pretend to understand "the dada" or "the dialectic"
i don't pretend to understand most of what weedge writes
i do, i do, i do understand most of what he writes, in fact
and it don't mean shyte
he will never write a manifesto
it's a work in progress, nonetheless
calculated madness is better than outright madness, that's a given
for his shyte, his obvious eagerness to shine, Gnome should be allowed to be himself
charming, not very
sometimes fatuous
at least he's not like the society types who raved over surrealism and darlin' Dali
Not meaning to lecture on a subject not meant for lecturing is fatuous in the extreme...but it's been said before me by the so-called experts, TTR. :0)
edit: You may be right in telling him it ain't it. But who are we to say?

Huh"I don't get it"still.
Thank you, A#1.
It's natural, not a pose.
It's poetry and not prose.
Smile for your camera, sweetie!

This is a test.
This is only a test.
Only a test.
It's not art.
Nein, nine, gnyne.

Millions don't count...nine can be divided by three.
I found this joke on the internut. It's a "ready-made," but who's counting?
I went on the tv show blind date a while back. I always thought that the questions the contestants asked were stupid and irrelevent, so I decided to ask something a bit more intellegent.
I said "Contestant number 1. Cubism is a corruption of the impressionist ideology; discuss".
To which contestant number 1 replied. "Eerrrm, well if I were a cube you could measure my angles any time".
Same question to number 2. "Well, we could go down to the fun fair and you could feel me up while we're on the dodgems".
Not exactly what I asked, but thanks anyway.
Then number 3 gave her answer. She said "Yes, cubsim is a corruption of the impressionist ideology, but it's also based on early 20th century german dadaism and neo realism".
I thought "perfect answer".
From that point I knew axactly which one I had to pick.
Number 2 obviously.

Another test, but no credits, so sorry:
How many dadaists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Essays due in nine days.

boy, george
are you sure you accomplished your mission?
the eternal quest for understanding will likely get one noplace
los grandes imponderosas will likely never have satisfactory answers
expectoration on expectiations is the only excitation one will likely find
trundling icons is as much fun as trundling boulders
or starting an avalanche
or felling trees in residential hoods
or even burying caddys nose-down in the texas plains
and less risky
an aside: i may not be posting less, but i'm enjoying what i'm doing, so that makes it otay by me. i'm taking more time to get up and move around, among other things that have made a difference, like getting some good sleep-time, aka dream-time, which was almost entirely missing from my life heretofore recently.

it's about as useful as a thread which "makes fun of celebrities who have gland disorders"
dadapro is not the only cure for Bulgemelonitis
but it is the cheapest next to ignoring fatuous or "tasteless" here on the ST.
send Cash, Czechs, or moneygrams to Fish Products, not here.
hey there say, russ! what was all that fuss? worthy of its deletion, i must say.

this heartfelt comment on intolerance was brought to you
do with it what you must
i have thick skin; i resist unkind comments in the main now that the eKat affair is history, having learned a lesson
(especially thick on my feet, which may simply be due to athelte's foot or possibly to mandellis corollin)
it may be of inteREST, but i just woke up from a good bait of sleep, deeply in need of a yur-I-nal
as eye peed, eye thought about michy, phat women, and bir-duhs (Bambi, if you've never seen it?)
i realized, having witnessed prejudice and intolerance in that deleted thread, that which was known to me since i met my LIZ-as-was that not all who call themselves BBWs are beautiful, especially those who cannot laugh at themselves, their own vanity, and harbor spite in their besmirched souls
trees have it much worse than wee
always will
do they complain and whine about the shade they must tolerate in order to grow higher?
i don't know
i won't waste more of your time with drivel
i don't see any here, myself
and so back to bed without any more pepys, who was, by the way, a complete azzhat, IMO (rhymes with manifesto)

I'm wide awake still.
Were I a painter, the quiet nighttime hours might be spent more creatively.
But I'm not one of those. I'm a poet, a pauper and a puppet, but not a king.
So I trawl through the Sargassum of the sea of non-dreams, the internet, searching.
I'm no Avienus, who is credited with the first mention of the Sargasso Sea in his poem Ora Maritima.
And I'm up to my old tricks, like a coyote doubling back on his tracks.
It is not intentional; it's just who I am, me being me, like Manny without his money.
I'd sooner be a court jester than a king, for therein is the real power in many royal courts.
In this modern world the real jesters are I know not who.
It's of no moment, however.
The court jester was mainly concerned with his own agenda, protecting himself by appealing to the weak monarch who had a fondness for him and needed him as much as he was needed by the jester.
Ridicule was and is a power tool.
"Bosch," you say?
Well, Bosch Power Tools and Accessories, the North American branch of the giant Corporation (representing to me Big Tools), see, they make power drills, which are like unto firearms in that they are not evil of themselves, but are nasty when used by the unscrupulous climber.
Nowhere is it a sin to use power drills, just against regs, but it seems to me to be a crime against nature, as it does to many.
But in the Art World (which is a Luxury Liner of Fools), Bosch reigns supreme.
It's of note that his panels, representing the theology of Christianity, are ridiculously small and were kept locked behind two reverse panels depicting sainted men.
His work is explained in the link I'm posting for your edifiction (sic).
http://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/renaissance-reformation/northern-renaissance1/hieronymus-bosch/v/bosch-last-judgment-triptych-1504-08
It is a critique of RETINAL ART which was probably only seen by a few selectmen and clergy, and not by the general public, who probably would have been scared shyteless by some of the work.
So what was the point? What did Hieronymus mean to say? That is for us as individuals to ponder, but from a historical POV, the critique is valuable in that many of us do not know the history of Christianity, just as we are perplexed by the Muslim sects, the Hindi, and the rest of the world's religions.
I went to dinner at the Rescue Mission two nights ago and it was a dinner served by men and women of the Ponderosa Basin Chapel, who do so regularly once a month. They practice what they preach and I've seen no hypocrisy, just warm and caring folks who are plain-spoken ranchers and their wives, among other occupations.
http://pbchapel.org/
It was disturbing to me to know I'm suffering from diseases which are ultimately going to kill me, providing that the thunder and lightning don't get me first, or that splendid-looking Budweiser truck doesn't run my slow ass down.
I realized how old I've become today, because a flip-flop fell off my foot as I began pedaling across a busy intersection on the way home from the Grocery Outlet. It caused me to lose my balance and before I could right the bicycle I'd fallen, but not seriously.
It took me some time to gather up the cans of Hunt's sauce and the rest and it was embarrassing, but then I really said a few quick prayers after the cursing was done.
I took some more time to rest up and cogitate about what this meant, this apparent feebleness, but it could happen to anyone, really, given that the basket on the handlebars is wobbly and needs to be wired up more securely.
If there is a point to this ramble, please let me know now, God, before I post this.
Aw, to hell with it. It's part of a work in progress that ultimately will be gone, just as we all will be gone sooner or later.
The point may be that the weak are subject to the strong and it's up to the strong to do what's right by the weak.
The nighttime is the right time to be with the one you love. I love my muse. Goodnight, Mrs. Muse, wherever you are.
And goodnight, Mrs. Mouse, looking over my shoulder.
