THIS is the LAST TIME I PERSONALLY WILL WRITE ON so-called 'culture' issues for this mag.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To say that the 1960s, 70s, and early 80s were the most glamourous period in U.S.(or even the world)history is also to say it was a sophisticated-enough place where someone LIKE CHET Baker could perform. No one is going to DENY that the period of the 50s, which must have necessarily laid the ground-work FOR THE glam that followed on from its uptake actually wasn't more of a 'beat-nick' generation. the aftermath of WW 2, STEINBECK and the remnants of a military-run economic model would still have presented a performer like CHET!a risky-prospect to perform something that, even today, must sound a bit feminine, on the one hand, but, more truly, something that espouses a BELIEF in something decent. the whole time within a time withinatime of a pop-song makes a good-deal of sense to MAKE into the present actually cause there is nobody on anything now—and this was ALSO true of the fuckin' FIFTIES my man would say CHET himsef--BUT awaiting economic RE-ASSIGNMENT protocolization. People just WILL wait-around forever—whether they is the people 'in-charge' of it all;or the standard worker—just to see if it might get a bit different with the passage of time/or maybe it's "produce a less egregious" difficulty-proposition to what I CONSIDER 'what I'd like to do'. Nevertheless: who knows how to learn jazz. I guess a person could just cover his music and hope they eventually turn-out something of their ownmost intention. WHICH is a nice thought. But, I don't know why I would bother when AMERICA is so fuckin' BORING it is like there must be a fag-killing movie where these fuckin' FOOTBALL niggers scrum me to death just for singing about fuckin' FLOWERS or something I MEAN IT IS, at least feeling like it is that kind of country. BUT: yeah, IT IS ONLY song thaet does move the ball at all, so I GUESS somebody has got to learn ta sing fuckin' CHET(and not just fuckin' COVER THE SHIT OFF IT(or digital-make a jazz-accompaniment for FUCKsake!)); and by golley, it's GOT A BE A FUCKIN" desperate NOBODY on drugs resigned from the entire motivation-assemblage, that ALSO braves it all for fuckin' NUTHIN' cause they ain't got ta have MONEY NEITHER.

SO, at this point, I, personally, feel like this is SOPHISTICATION-related, DIRECTLY. Like, HOW in the fuck is I SUPPOSED to care about working for fuckin' I.B.M.? Or, working 'auditions'? 'CUTTIN' a fuckin' 'record'? SELLIN' MYSELF?just to make it? I mean CHET must have needed MONEY and yet I DO NOT HEAR IT IN HIS MUSIC which makes me THINK::::'sophistication' of the JEW-haircut in the 19-fuckin-FIFTIES was worth A GREAT DEAL. And so was 'cuttin' an image around some middle-class TOWN'. NOT possible now. SO: i say, not only is the bars bullshit the audience RANCID and the towns fuckin' MEXICAN actually CHET BAKER played downthere and thought it was a fuckin' NIGGER COLONY just like what NOWthe U.S. middle—class town is, whatwith EVEN A FUCKIN' tennis courtOWNED by a PRIVATE COMPANY and 'sequestered or SAVEDfor the fuckin' SCHOOLIES' i mean it is A FUCKIN" nightmare. SO, no I AIN"T EITHER GONNA get a mic and do it at home which IS THE ONLY COOL THING TO DO. WHY? IT's like fuckin' ANATHEMA to JAZZ

SO, in fact I SAY sophistication is dead. AND not only that but I DON"T GIVE A FUCK about it either so I AM MORE CHET thaen even he was cause CHET BAKER CARED SO FUCKIN' MUCH TO IMPROVE HIS LOT in life you wouldn't fuckin' BELIEVE what HEROIN******* would do for a CHAMP on that score. SO, I guess it'S lamentations abound for the lost-fifties here now at tortoise.com and all us around the nation's campfire awaiting the economic-revival of the CASEY-CASUM radio show pullin' trash out the fuckin' refrigo-mortgaged lives to wine and dine AMERICA? I don't think so cause I FUCKIN' well do NOT CARE what the fuck some americo has got to BEG FOR on air hosting a show What I'm Supposed Ta Think(?????x][ unless he GOT A federal-reserve bailout card. In Any Case.... AND YET, still:::i do say there's no culture in this country so I DON"t KNOW WHY I myself even write about it cause, and this IS* a lesson::::culture-making INVOLVES bills. I lay it down and we evaulate the WORTH of what I said about you-cultureMAKER; then we, together TRANSLATE thaet into VALUE, together again(this is just the OBJECTIVITY of such a FUCKIN' BELIEF in anything system you stupid fuckin' DUPES;AND, The U.K. has some semblance of this kind of economic model and the United STATES, ZERO.nothing.).

SO:::::even chet would say to a 'culture-warrior' IN AMERicUM!today::::go eat a fuckin' PASTA fuckin' PIE youstinkin' fuckin' WOP. WHAT-I-SAIY?! "YOU WANNA SING LIKE chet fuckin'baked apple toddy? WISH FER A N O T H A H FUCKIN' WORL'T/ YA STUPID FUCKIN' twit"
