whoa, people are smart. some people are really really really REALLY smart. i work with all these people who know SO MUCH about different little pockets of the world. like how do they know so much!? basically i know…very light information about…not much. even the things i love: music, poetry…well, okay, music, i know some stuff. but not as much about CURRENT music. and i’m not even some music whiz kid about classic rock or blues or psych rock or ’60s chicago soul or anything.<\/p>\n
that said, i DO know most oldies played on mainstream oldies stations.<\/p>\n
i guess sometimes i just feel like, WOW. how did people get so deep on these things? like tim j. at the bookstore: how does he know about all these writers? and know A LOT about ALL of them? and fairfax and ali know so much about art…it’s very humbling, and awe-inspiring. and inspiring. except i’m like, where do i start?! do i need to spend all my time reading and learning? sounds so boring!<\/p>\n
