Michael's Interests
|
| General | Music. Math. Myth. Mysticism.
How these relate to each other throughout history in terms of their physical, physiological, psychological, psychical and political aspects.
COMEDY, which like philosophy but unlike religion or politics, CAN look at every angle of every side of every issue, scatological to spiritual, and find the truth of the instant by means of paradox. Comedy alone reveals this by visceral reaction. (I guess this could use some punching up. Precious few gags in there. Well, not the good kind. In fact, up til now it may seem a bit like eating soda crackers without water. Like most myspacers, I plan to do better. When I get a round to it. And who knows? Whole sentences? Could be. | | Music | | | Movies |
