Junk is the ideal product . . . the ultimate merchandise. No sales talk necessary. The client will crawl through a sewer and beg to buy. . . . The junk merchant does not sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client. He pays his staff in junk.
Admittedly, a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman, or to an old boot for that matter. In fact, both homo - and heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot, and you can save a lot of money that way.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on.

".. I stopped, and looked around on the side walk and in the street.. there it is..right there. It was a demon. I hear demons talking all the time. Demons have no shape..no form. If you were to see a demon, you would have to look very close. Looking at a demon is like looking into a pitch black soul. It's a blackness unlike you could ever imagine..dreadful and meaningless..dreary..so full of hate. Although.. funny, i thought. It's unusual to hear a demon alone. Demons are always in pairs or in a group.. arguing..complaing..fighting..swearing up a storm..foul mouthed arrogant opinionated mother fuckers. They hate you, they hate me, they hate everything in exsistence, but they sure have alot of fun tempting humanity. They laugh at every sin you do. They laugh at the pain you all go through. They're spectators to every murder and sex crime..and they love every minute of it.. "
Let me just say,after about 24 hours and me gettin a call to do a show I threw in the towl..but after my mother preceded to beat and pull handfulls of hair out of my head for stealin her fix(not that she does'nt have a huge stash anyway to fall back on)I've reconsidered.She's sick and so am I.I really can't say if I'll ever quit for good,it has a way of calling you back like the siren sound.
A poetry articulating the dreads and horrors of our time is necessary in order to make readers understand what is happening, really understand it, not just know about it but feel it ...
Imagine a radical movement which had suffered an emphatic defeat. Worse is to follow. It is disease that makes health sweet and good. It is precisely because creatures are incomplete that they are living.
Language takes precedence. It chases its own tail. It was parodic, and aimed sharply and polemically against the official languages of its time.
There is no question of a fixed, historically immutable relationship here. The lynch-pin of the teaching of Heraclitus, as it has come down to us, is the idea of unity in opposites. Every man’s life my be best written by himself. As he reads, there is a constant ‘feedback’ of ‘information’ already received, so that he himself is bound to insert his own ideas into the process of communication. You cannot pass this by, nor escape its force. All great writers want to become like Faust.
The commodity, pace Adorno, cannot be its own ideology, at least not yet. So one could preserve one’s ontology without the embarassment of having to pretend that there was nothing to choose between Goethe and Goebbels. The nature of this duplication is essential for an understanding of irony.
The objects are too dissimilar. ‘To generalize is to be an idiot’, but not to draw conclusions from experience is to be something of a fool.
