Because I Dont Know - Tumblr Posts

I just wanted to bring it up since no one else had mentioned it. I don't like anyone dying.

May I ask what your solution is? Are Biden and trump the official nominees now? How likely is a third party candidate to win? Hasn't Biden started paying lip service at least to supporting a cease fire? What would happen if trump got in, would he stop anything? Because that was my point, actually - Biden screws over one country, trump at least two.

Or do you support a complete overhaul of the American political system? I can definitely understand the appeal, I'd hate to live there. But how long would that take?

These are all honest questions by the way. I'm not an expert, and what's happening in Gaza is horrific. I'd love to know what you would do.

alright gang, let's do a fun little thought experiment.

which city would biden have to completely annihilate before you decide not to vote for him?

for the sake of this thought experiment, let's ignore actual real-world alliances between countries. it can be london, or paris, or athens, or barcelona, or rome, or berlin, or even an american city like new york or new orleans or los angeles or honolulu. this is all a hypothetical after all.

really consider it. if you're gonna bother to yap in my notes, at least try to engage with this question in good faith. imagine opening up the news, and you see that a bomb was dropped on this city, and then the bombs never stop. imagine you had a friend there. imagine you'd had a trip planned to meet them and see the sights. imagine every museum, every historical monument, every theatre, every university destroyed. imagine that one day, you lived in a world where this city existed, and the next, it has completely ceased to be. it's effectively been pompeii-ed out of our world entirely. there is no longer a big ben, or a parthenon, or a colosseum, or what have you. there is no longer that foreign musician you loved from this city. there are no longer sweet old grannies to share old family recipes from this part of the world. there is no longer the online friend you wanted to visit. there is no longer your vacation plans.

don't hit me with, "but it's netanyahu doing this," because israel would literally run out of ammunition in weeks without the US. don't hit me with, "but trump!" because that quite literally is not the fucking question.

which city has to completely cease to exist before you even consider that this system isn't ever going to work?

if you are still planning to vote for biden, then either a) biden could drop a nuke on any city on earth and it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for you, or b) in your mind, people and places are divided into ones that are acceptable to destroy and ones that are not. or at least, there are ones that are more acceptable to destroy than others.

come up with your answer and either realize you sound like a fascist and work to change it, or embrace that you are a fascist and stop lying to us about caring about people of color.

EDIT: FOUND

I remember a wonderful interview where Artie said something among the lines of "if you listen to his guitar playing, you'll get what a great lover Paul Simon is - not that I would know of course, but I mean...", stuff like that.

So.

Yeah.

I'll look for it. It was from a BBC Radio 6 Music series named The Paul Simon Songbook, covering the history of well, Paul's music. I had the transcripts of these from gods know where, probably Artie's website old forum? Anyway, episode So Young, Yet So Full of Pain (gotta love it) is about their 60s pre-BOTW works, and at a certain point they focus on For Emily. Well, Artie's quote for y'all to enjoy: "The first thing I think about with that song is what a great lover Paul Simon is. I mean... I've never been in bed with him, I don't know (audibly smirking), but I assume he's a very caressing lover, because if you listen to him play the twelve-string underneath my voice, that carriage, that ride he's providing for the vocalist, is very intimate and very beautiful. He's so underneath my vocal, and swelling just where the vocal is swelling, and clearly the frienship is a really close one, you can hear so much on there... at this point we're friends since 13 years old, that's a close friend! So it shows up in the music that we're reading each other's next musical intention, even though it's a hundredth of a second away, we know based on what's happening in the present what the immediate next future is gonna go to. That's just musicians... being very together."

Linda Eastman     Simon and Garfunkel, New York City     1966

“I write from instinct, from inexplicable sparkle. I don’t know why I’m writing what I’m writing. Usually, I sit and I let my hands wander on my guitar. And I sing anything. I play anything. And I wait till I come across a pleasing accident. Then I start to develop it.” Paul Simon, 1984

“[T]he loving, caressing guitar work that Paul Simon does on a Martin acoustic guitar, just kills me and makes me sing lovely. I ride that guitar like a jockey on a horse that is having a fabulous little spring.” Art Garfunkel

Sorry it didn’t work out, I’m just his biggest fan ya know? No hard feelings 💋
