way back when in the 80s in LA i would hit the anti club most weekends and I got to see chris isaak get his stage persona together over a period of like 3 months, it was neat to watch. Like one day he was country & western, next he’s doing vegas lounge, next its torch songs und so weiter

At this point in my life I should be able to unlock a cat large enough to ride around & have adventures. At night I would build a fire and sleep on him & he would hunt a deer and share it with me. I have fed and been slept upon by enough cats in my life. It is time for them to return the favor.

I think about this point by Adorno so often of late.
My thesis about this would be that all
humans deep down, whether they admit this or not, know that it
would be possible or it could be different. Not only could they live
without hunger and probably without anxiety, but they could also
live as free human beings. At the same time, the social apparatus has
hardened itself against people, and thus, whatever appears before
their eyes all over the world as attainable possibility, as the evident
possibility of fulfillment, presents itself to them as radically impossible. And when people universally say today what was once reserved
only for philistines in more harmless times, "Oh, that's just utopian;
oh, that's possible only in the land of Cockaigne. Basically that
shouldn't be like that at all," then I would say that this is due to the
situation compelling people to master the contradiction between the
evident possibility offulfillment and the just as evident impossibility
offulfillment only in this way, compelling them to identify themselves
with this impossibility and to make this impossibility into their own
affair. In other words, to use Freud, they "identify themselves with
the aggressor" and say that this should not be, whereby they feel that
it is precisely this that should be, but they are prevented from attaining
it by a wicked spell cast over the world.
