"If there's such a thing as genius...I am one." John Lennon
biography
A mathematician, statistician, logician, an ardent Feynman, von Neumann, and Bill Gates fan. I have approximately 500GB of lossless Beatles' bootlegs. I think of that time The Beatles and The Doors were the most signifcant forces on music; I will post more on this later.Tell them who you really are. They want to know your musical taste too!
i read the new lennon bio-- it was pretty interesting, it was written by the same dude that wtote Shout!
there were many interesting quotes which i had never read before. he also seems to have woven a good deal of his auint mimi's letters and life into the book- as well as his father, freddy. i would defr check out the book, it is rather str8forward, ending with his assisination and naturally, it is quite sad. if you're a lennon fan, go ahead and read this new Lennon bio.
Quite a bit. I have all 6 of their original albums, I haven't studied much live performances and recordings. It's hard to get a hold of it all but i respect The Doors music greatly, they have got something nobody else has. How much have you studied about them?
Listening to one of Timothy Leary's last interviews before his death he made the prescient statement that in the first decade of 2000 the new creators and leaders would be the people that made Nintendo and played Nintendo. Considering that the Wii (and gaming / social interactivity / electronic interactivity) continues to dominate the entertainment market his genius (N.B., at this point in his life, he said "I'm so senile, I can't remember what I did last night" and his prostrate cancer had spread to his entire body) still showed remarkable accuracy. It reminds me of the Jim Morrison / The Doors interview done by PBS in New York (Sunday Trucker / Soft-Parade) where Jim said that in the future he could see (i.e., he believed in the future) someone standing behind a large mass of electronic equipment and creating music simply by the manipulation of the apparatus.
