One of my favorite Simpson's moments is when Milhouse presents his science fair project and it is nothing more than a slinky on an inclined plane. "Behold, the awesome power of gravity!" intones Milhouse, and the slinky takes one step and stops. Mrs Kerbopple responds: "Pret-ty lame, even for you, Milhouse."
That's pretty much how it all went down when I presented my downtown Starkville plan in Design class last week.
I remember as a lad of eleven or twelve watching somebody interview Mick Jagger on television. "Your latest album, "Some Girls," the journalist said, "it's just SO sexist...SO racist..." at which point Mick abruptly stood up, nearly breaking loose of his chest mic, in a gesture of indignant confrontation, and proclaimed "Our next album is going to be even MORE racist and MORE sexist...and it is going to be a LOT BETTER!"
This is the approach to the creative process that formed my youth and has served me well over the years. Terrence McKenna once said regarding psychedelics: if you are not sure how much to take, double the dose.
The clock is running out and it is time to throw down. Tally ho, gentlemen.
