That was interesting and cool. I agree with what he said about The NIN album, The Fragile. I love it. Its my favorite album by them.

I found this while just browsing around. There was no date on it, but it seems a few years old. Kind of an interesting story/personal opinion of MJK. Interviewer: Is music the most important thing in your life? (pause) Maynard: No. Interviewer: So if music isn't the most important thing in Maynard's life, what is do you think? Maynard: None..of..your..business. Interviewer: Fair enough. (Tries to laugh it off.) (Looks like an idiot). ;D I love Maynard.

the safest place to be is closer to your enemy I don't think that's entirely it. Well, actually, it might be and here is why: (this, of course, is me personally relating to the comment/situation and explaining it from my point of view and not his) I'm not sure if most people do this, but I try to throw myself into situations that I wouldn't ordinarily be involved in. I do this for many reasons, some I am not fully aware of at this point. You can't fully understand a machine until you try to use it for something it wasn't meant to be used for or push it past it's breaking point. It can be a self-destructive process or it can be a process that ultimately makes you stronger and more aware of yourself. It can also be used as a tool to help understand the mindset of someone/something you wouldn't otherwise have the chance to understand. So, yes, in essence, the safest place is closer to your enemy so you can understand him/her more...and the enemy is almost always yourself.

just have to say "BADASS ARTICLE"!!! I thought so too. In fact, I think it's my favorite article I've run across on MJK.

I'm not sure if I've already read this article or not. All of these topics I am familiar with, I'm glad you shared it! Here's some thoughts... I agree that talking about music gets tired. I've spent the majority of my life talking about "my" music, defending "my" music, and justifying "my" music. Through my studies of art and music I've grown to hate the terms themselves. I've grown tired of living in a museum / a society that is a monument to the past. These crafts are becoming exposed as being just that: crafts. Once this is realized, the True message of the media can be confronted. Through my study of "art music" I have come to believe that there is an element of humour and deception that is buried within the progression of the craft, but lost in translation. Meanwhile, the masses want to be feel aesthetically or culturally satisfied. Perhaps this is because they do not feel a connection to the present, or a fear of forward thinking, or general laziness. Perhaps its a dependancy on outside stimulation. Bored, lazy and vain? Or perhaps I am past the point of blissful ignorance. Perhaps I am merely a snob. Perhaps I am falling into the palms of Keenan's hands.
