Booze (absent of puking and black outs please), guitar guy, dirty, wholesome
Music
...a music that brings adolescents together, with records under their arms that gives them names and melodies to use as passwords so they can know each other and become intimate and feel less lonely surrounded by bosses, families, and bitter love affairs, a music that accepts all imaginations and tastes...repentance and rejection, a preference for small groups, mysterious recordings with false names and strange titles and labels made up on the spur of the moment, and that whole freemasonry of Saturday nights in a student’s room or in some basement café with girls (or boys in my case) that would rather dance to Stardust of slow smell of perfume and skin and heat and let themselves be kissed when the hour gets late…and hardly anybody is dancing just standing together, swaying back and forth, and everything is hazy and dirty and lowdown…
Julio Cortazar
This was written with such heart felt and so communicates the feeling and soul of music that so graciously fills up so much of our lives.
