The Logic of Folly

All finished my latest musical creation: This Fool's Paradise. I wanted to post the lyrics here and send you to an i-tunes account to hear the music, but I can't open an account because my parents don't trust me with their credit card. This is because of how my siblings have been discussing me to them in my absence all my life, as one who is irresponsible and incapable of making money. This, in turn, is because I didn't last in my nine-to-five jobs the way an artist is supposed to in our cheap consumer culture. I can't think of a dumber society than one that insults talent they way ours does. I must consider myself privileged to be among some of the finest artists and poets in history who were also insulted by the people of their time. I was able to complete this new work because I am a musician who thinks about music, rather than being obsessed with what's 'hip'. I don't mind posting my lyrics separately because they are good. On the other hand, if I were illiterate, I might choose to bury my poorly chosen words behind a wall of pretentious noise. I was also able to compose my new song because I have something real to say. This time, for instance, I need to talk about how unrewarding life must be for people who, for purely egotistical reasons, have rendered themselves incapable of properly appreciating beauty. I bet my current life is better than their grandest party, in spite of my complaining. I'll have the music for my new words posted for you soon, so that liars can tell you that I hacked it, as they have been saying consistently through the last four of my online song posts.
