-------------------------

I was waltzing with my darlin' to the Tennesse waltz

when an old friend I happened to see.

I introduced him to my loved one,

and while they were waltzing

my friend stole my sweet-heart from me.



I remember the night and the Tennessee waltz.

Now I know just how much I have lost.

Yes I lost my little darlin' the night

they were playing the beautiful Tennessee waltz.

Marlon Brando Quotes

This picture will try to show the Nazism is a matter of mind, not geography, and that there are Nazis — and people of good will — in every country. The world can't spend its life looking over its shoulder and nursing hatreds. There would be no progress that way.
At a press conference for The Young Lions in Berlin; republished in Marlon Brando, Portraits and Film Stills 1946-1995 (1996)

When they laid down their arms, we murdered them. We lied to them. We cheated them out of their lands. We starved them into signing fraudulent agreements that we called treaties which we never kept. We turned them into beggars on a continent that gave life for as long as life can remember. And by any interpretation of history, however twisted, we did not do right. We were not lawful nor were we just in what we did. For them, we do not have to restore these people, we do not have to live up to some agreements, because it is given to us by virtue of our power to attack the rights of others, to take their property, to take their lives when they are trying to defend their land and liberty, and to make their virtues a crime and our own vices virtues.
Speech for the Academy Awards protesting the treatment of American Indians, written by Brando, as it appeared in the New York Times (March 30, 1973)

I think awards in this country at this time are inappropriate to be received or given until the condition of the American Indian is drastically altered. If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.

Arthur Schopenhauer: Cautionary mote about buying books

Space is at a premium even with a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment.  I have many, many books because when m.s. caused me a month of blindness I  panicked about not being able to read anymore so I have been buying all kinds of books.

Consider Schopenhauer before buying more books:

“... that when you're buying books, you're optimistically thinking you're buying the time to read them.

(Paraphrase of Schopenhauer)” 

When we read, another person thinks for us: we merely repeat his mental process.

 In learning to write, the pupil goes over with his pen what the teacher has outlined in pencil: so in reading; the greater part of the work of thought is already done for us.

 This is why it relieves us to take up a book after being occupied with our own thoughts. And in reading, the mind is, in fact, only the playground of another’s thoughts.

 So it comes about that if anyone spends almost the whole day in reading, and by way of relaxation devotes the intervals to some thoughtless pastime, he gradually loses the capacity for thinking; just as the man who always rides, at last forgets how to walk.

This is the case with many learned persons: they have read themselves stupid.”

― Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms

Arthur Schopenhauer

Buying Books To Appropriate their Content

Why do people buy more books than they have time to read? Is it merely due to being too optimistic about one’s free time.

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.
- Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena

Schopenhauer might have been describing my relationship to books; the need to buy books, to collect books, to read books, and to learn from books.

In addition to “possessing” a book, I would also like to “appropriate” it’s contents —  In addition, I want to “master” its contents -— come to understand what is in it to integrate the contents with things learned elsewhere to synthesize it all to produce new ideas and explanations.

It is indeed an error to confuse buying a book with simultaneously appropriating its contents.  — Knowledge and understanding are not concrete “things” that you can purchase with a credit card like the contents of a box of cookies or jug of milk.

There is no doubt that I wish that one were the same as the other. I buy more books than I have time to read.

Do I do this because I am implicitly and unconsciously imagining that the purchase of a book is sufficient to appropriate its contents?

Or is it merely a sign that I am far too optimistic about the time available to read?

If you buy more books than you can possibly read ask yourself why.  You might be confusing the purchase of a book with appropriating its contents?

Lou Reed on Guns & Ammo | Blank on Blank | PBS Digital Studios

Published on Feb 17, 2015

"I write a song called 'Heroin', you would have thought that I murdered the Pope or something"

- Lou Reed on March 20, 1987, as told to Joe Smith



Lou Reed. Lou Reed. Here we bring you a rarely heard interview Lou recored in 1987. It's vintage Lou. Salty and sweet. Earnest and cocky. Grouchy and kind of endearing. Reed (and his legendary band The Velvet Underground) were those musicians who never got the extensive accolades or awards--nor the riches many of their contemporaries found. Yet he never seemed to waver in his search for the perfect sound and his quest "to elevate the rock and roll song and take it where it hadn’t been taken before." Here we present some interview outtakes that give a taste for this iconic American musician. Lou Reed died of liver disease on October 27, 2013. He was 71.



In this animated film Lou Reed talks about chasing off nosy college kids on his porch with his shotgun, how he dreamed about writing the great American novel while at Syracuse University, "how savage the reaction against" the Velvet Underground was, the intention of taking books and putting them into songs, writing rock and roll you could grow old with, not thinking The Doors or the Beatles were up to the level of his band, and how he hoped to elevate the rock and roll song to where it hadn't been before.



RIP, Lou.



LOU REED QUOTES



"What we had was ambition and a goal ... to elevate the rock and roll song and take it where it hadn’t been taken before."

"I have faith in my own vision, and didn’t want them to tamper with it."

"Don’t thin my voice out and make it like that high shit. This is the way I sound."

" I’ve gone out with my shotgun. This is hunting country out there. You better run."

"I wanted to write the great American novel but I also loved rock and roll."

"I got a little puzzled at how savage the reaction against us was."
