“Me, on the other hand… I’m angry. And I’m not sure why. I’ve spent years on the couch and it gets me nowhere. I’ve also suddenly realized that some aspects of the social media is like having a “giant” psychiatrist. ( I went to see my followers. They said, “Tell us everything.” I did. And now they’re doing my act.
Long story short…
There’s a lot I don’t like. And…
I can’t keep my mouth shut about what I don’t like.
I’m not one of those artists who need to make friends.
I’m not one of those artists who need to be loved, be invited, treated special, fawned over, surrounded or isolated like a V.I.P.
Frankly, I don’t respond to sources outside my control. And I’m certainly not going to kiss someones ass just because they appear to be on my side.
The paramount concern is not to care. (T.E. Lawrence said that and look where that got him).
Positive? Negative? No matter. I’m going to wake up and do what the fuck I want without guilt, permission, or fear. “Stop the world, I want to get off”? (I got off the world a long time ago).
Protest.
I protest.
(I even paint the protest).
But before I protest…
Let me tell you a couple of things that I like…right now… recent stuff…”
