The Development of Larger Thinkers

I was on brainyquote.com looking at Leonard Cohen quotes when I noticed that the top of the “related authors” list was Justin Bieber. The world is a funny place, the internet is even funnier.

Well I read all the quotes from both and the main difference seems to be that Leonard says wise and helpful things about the nature of our world and generally does what is known as “holding a mirror up to reality” to show the reader a new or different perspective on something which is familiar.

The Beiber kid talks only about himself of course and mostly explains what he wants and wants to be. It was kinda sweet to read actually. Well I don’t know what I was expecting but it certainly begs the question “at what point in our development do we become larger thinkers?”

This little excursion reminds me of something I read at nine years old which blew my mind and has stuck with me ever since: small minds discuss people, mediocre minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas.

Thee Oh Sees

This has been my favorite band for the months since the Calgary festival we played with them. Check it out then just enjoy an hour or so of browsing thru the zillions of live clips of them as well as songs next to industrial ports of call and shipping lanes or whatever. They’re fugging perfect. They’re playing Portland tomorrow night so if yer in town find em and see em. I’m not in town but I’m trying to arrange to drive back just for this gig. We’ll see if i make it but its gonna be hard. Life can be so cruel.

World Change Discussions

Has everyone been checking out the one young world summit clips? Check out this one at prosumer-reports.com

I don’t usually find “world change” discussions to be inspiring but I’m pretty excited by a lot of this although it’s hard to find bits of it that aren’t just a lot of enthuiastic shit talk from…yup, old people.

I Don’t Want a Holiday in the Sun

Wow check it out, here’s video footage I found on YouTube of some friends of mine in Berlin in 1989.    In November of that year the East German government began allowing it’s citizens to travel freely.  The Wall was more or less gone a year later.  I’ll ask Chris if this was shot in late ’89 or early as it is obviously winter.  Strange that they get to chip away at it while guards are up there so it might be November or December.  I’ll letcha know.
