Anyone spending thirty thousand pounds on a guitar is an idiot. The acoustic I've used the most over the last fifteen years was found in a dustbin. My other one was a tenner in a charity shop. Nobody's ever said "your guitars sound crap". I mean they've hated my songs, but that's different.

Possibly my favourite Sinéad O’Connor track. That whole first album is a banger.
Irish Literary Times@irishlittimes.bsky.social · 3w agoStill thinking of Sinéad on the 3rd anniversary of her untimely death. One of her very best songs: But, I will rise and I will return The phoenix from the flame I have learned, I will rise And you'll see me return being what I am There is no other Troy for me to burn www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c4v...
While I nodded, merely napping, suddenly there came a scatting, Like some jazz man crazy catting, scatting at my chamber door. Quoth Jazz Raven, 'SKABBADA BAP BAP BWIDDILY BAP BAP DIBBETY BEEP BAP BEE DOODLEOO'
“If they can convince you a song produced by such a beast is good, then what use is there for any of us? Let the machine work and drain and sputter and purge; may we dance and clap at what meager pleasures it can conjure." An empty bit of good:

“Pure orientation towards the goal deprives the in-between space of all meaning, emptying it to become a corridor without any value of its own. … The rich meaning of the path disappears.” — Byung-chul Han, The Scent of Time
“You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire.” — Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

In several important ways we are still living in a medieval world, with many continuous institutions, everyone obsessed with the wreckage of the Roman Empire, and willing to butcher the people in the next village if we suspect them of being werewolves on the inside.
My thought before every gig I ever play: So, what did I forget to pack? 🤣
