43 years late, I finally discovered the neurotic queenbee of pop-punk,
Poly Styrene
OH BONDAGE, UP YOURS
With her tubular plastic dress-sense she is like a Gaga with meaning. As a half-Somalian, there is a bit of a connection with the Arabic side of Zappa.
Like Hannibal roaming through Italy, their wild animal strength is like a primal serpent weaving round the parallel lines of a logical Western order.
Styrene was neurotic to the extent she was wrongly sectioned as schizoid, later joining a Hare Krishna commune and turning to electro-pop-punk of a high order.
It's particularly the early stuff from Germfree Adolescents that seems eerily predictive of a world where germs are outlawed and end up turning on their masters.
GERM FREE ADOLESCENTS
If our objective reality is essentially an illusion whereby facts merge into fictions, that is plain in the supremacy of words over action (of the balanced body, proportionate head on versatile neck.)
The more we hear the more words merge into the fictions of an illusory reality.
PLASTIC BAG
The neurotic subjective type sees the animation underlying the world of words and numbers that propagandize the illusory reality.
Yes, because germs are animations, as are cows or anything of flesh, blood, bone (vampire bats, say). The type that are seers, and similar remarks apply to Zappa - even with his well-known techno-fetishism.
To the neurotic subjective, animation is the reality, and they are bewildered by a world which to them appears like a lot of synthetic nothingness.
Similar observations would apply to Kantner of Jefferson Starship. The reality to them is people dancing, breeding and worshipping as a communal experience, whether on Earth or on a starship.
The lack of animation in modernity is a case of something becoming nothing. The "nothing" just happens to be an objective illusion of facts that merge into fictions.
Quite a good contemporary example is the Royal/Meghan confrontation where fact and fiction merge into one smorgasbord of confusion. Even the racism is confusion personified.
In animated reality, races are different and worship in varied ways, such as the gospel black tradition of the South. This difference was brought-out in the Harry/Meghan wedding ceremony to brilliant effect.
Where differences exist in colorful exuberance, they can come together in ensembles. The animated (spiritual) reality is not solely of words that simply sow confusion.
Something becomes nothing, and the same trend is clear in the supremacy of DNA to the establishment of acolytes of sorcerers of number and parallel lines (see Jirel Meets Magic).
If - as suggested in P154 - DNA is simply the apex of the metamorphosis of shapes in an animated universe, that entire universe is made into nothingness.
The primacy of DNA is a sop to the primacy of logic, number and a calculating universe (the Black Sun). Behind this illusory reality exists the primal serpent, which then becomes corrupted into profane rhythms.
To live is to worship the strength of shape rather than the inert accuracy of number. The moral force of shape comes out in the figures of men and women in action, in the brute strength of animals, in the need for etiquette to quel violence.
Take, for example, the Royal/Meghan scenario. Instead of the modern trend of fearing to recognize physical difference, imagine it set in a medievalist framework.
The scene is a group on horseback.
"Zounds, sirrah, the royal maiden has spirit."
"That she devil? She is not of our color, man. Have you not heard her tongue is of the viper?"
"I speak not of tongue. She rides like one born to the saddle. Do you challenge me on it, sirrah?"
"I - I have no time for this, villain - Hyaar!"
"Ha ha! Wait for me, Meg!"
The modern world fears to recognize difference, where the psyche is strong and free. Differences jar, and then the moral force of psychic freedom comes into play.
Man fires insults in the same sense ladybirds eat greenfly (see Journey, prev.) It's in the nature of the physical reality of social untidiness. There is chivalry born.
The alternate is a world of the head where people fear to insult their neighbour and the psyche is weak. This is what is called 'objective reality', but the object is itself an illusion. A mirror of parallel lines where all things approach sameness.
The mirror is outside the negative side of things, the reality of growth and decay. The mirror that sees only objective information is outwith time (see Bruce Lee quote, prev.)
Outwith the sequence of events of life and death; of the religio-culture of shrines; of the hunt, horses and estates.
Abandoned farmhouses dotted around the town, once named the 12th most beautiful in Japan.. Nana Matsumoto is one of the youngest to have made the move..
"We were just trying to get the message out that people could come back to Iitate, that people were living here again and that we intended to rebuild the community".. The view is of fallow paddy fields that rise into a steep-sided valley. Snow caps the mountains in the distance. Soon the white egrets will return to the stream that winds along the valley bottom.(DT)
All.physical acts in-the-field that are outwith an illusory system.of parallel lines. The mirror of illusions.
