There are so many people who instead of listening to the song, occupy themselves with whether it was a Tele or a Gibson. As one old song plugger said: don’t mistake the ship for the cargo. There was a section of the Tao Te Ching where Lao Tsu wrote the inner state of humankind is in perpetual disappointment with itself. As if the human condition is stuck eternally trying to change its inner state but only experiencing its own disappointment. His bigger point was it isn’t understood as circular. That might result in a healthy indifference to the merry-go-round, but instead, people get back on their horse believing they can change (and continue experiencing failure). He wrote what appears to be going on in the political world is also going on in your head. I couldn’t make sense out of that but something gave me pause in these Trump years. Pundits become so excited to prove his corruption, lies and unfitness. Then presume the expos\u00e9 changes things but it doesn’t. David Byrne sits in the corner strumming and singing, “same as it ever was, same as it ever was”. (if it sounds right it’s because of the Gretsch)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
