As an amusing anecdote, en route to hear Black Money at Dizzy's, I handed my wife the CD to play and in the dark car she inserted it into a "non-existent" slot below (instead of in) the CD player. It has disappeared into the inner workings of the dashboard. I'll be getting another next time I'm at a gig.

Best wishes for the gig John.
I'm personally looking forward immensely to playing in the den of evil Sunday June 20 with Sam Anning and Dave Beck.

IN SO MANY WORDS: THE OVER-INTELLECTUALIZATION OF ART, CULTURE AND POLITICS
by Diana Cristales
IN SO MANY WORDS: THE OVER-INTELLECTUALIZATION OF ART, CULTURE AND POLITICS
by Diana Cristales
Has the way we discuss art, culture and politics become a kind of verbal masturbation? After all, who are we really speaking to? We say that we want to participate in shared dialogue, but perhaps only with those with the same educational background or those who might share the same perspective. Are we able to speak to a person that has a sixth grade education about their perspective on art, politics and culture? Do we even want to?.............
.......We adopted the audacious right to validate someone else’s creativity. Suddenly other people’s art became either worthy or unworthy of value, all by the mere use of words. But what use do words serve if you bore your audience by the use of too many......
.......................We are doing a disservice to ourselves by making the things we value difficult to understand. Ask yourself, can people actively participate in something they do not understand? Isn’t it easier to manipulate the general public if they don’t even know what you are talking about? Making politics understandable is a revolutionary act!
A greater understanding of the decisions being made might inspire active participation in making positive changes. Perhaps the general public wouldn’t be so wary and disenfranchised with politics and politicians and the value for arts and culture would be more widely shared
