Mind the Gap

"A revolution isn't a gala dinner. It cannot be created like a book, a drawing or a tapestry. It cannot unfold with such elegance, tranquility and delicacy. Or such sweetness, affability, courtesy, restraint and generosity. A revolution is an uprising, a violent act by which one class overthrows another. " - from the movie THE DREAMERS

...I thoroughly enjoyed that quote and I wanted to cherish it in communion with everyone, as that is the end towards which this blog was created. ...oh I nearly forgot this one.. oh uh..oh here you go:

"I was one of the insatiables. The ones you'd always find sitting closest to the screen. Why do we sit so close? Maybe it was because we wanted to receive the images first. When they were still new, still fresh. Before they cleared the hurdles of the rows behind us. Before they'd been relayed back from row to row, spectator to spectator; until worn out, secondhand, the size of a postage stamp, it returned to the projectionist's cabin. Maybe, too, the screen was really a screen. It screened us... from the world. "

Do I really need to elaborate on this movie... or... or oh you're not even there.. you left.. you lept out of your set to go and somehow procure it, like a medication for the ailement that beguiles the empty theatre of your mind. Let this movie and its images dance before you...for if it were likened to a dance it wouldn't be a waltz...this is the kinda stuff people go wild with on the dancefloor of some run-down club with euro-trash bleeding out of speakers... a couple of teens dancing on acid, high on the lethargic grip of life, allowing them to wallow in euphoric bliss.

The above picture is that of two tickets that will light up my summer!!!
I think I might devote two different posts to introduce the bands.
For the moment I would like to deliberate on the following:

The book you see in the picture... is "THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA". A book which I will devour with intellectual avarice previously unknown to man.

I've read other books by Nietzche, notably "The Birth of Tragedy"... and if his other works are anything to go by... this will definitely not be a cul-de-sac or minor work..but an engaging whirl of philosophy that will change me as a person and allow me to be even more of a self-acclaimed elitist.
They say once you read Nietzsche, you can't live inside the perimeter of a claustrophobic western society..you will flee to the embrace of the wild (actually I just coined that). As Aristotle would say Man outside of a community is either God or Insane. We'll see where I end up! Next stop: Existentialism... MIND THE GAP
