everywhere I go people stare

they put me down but I don't care

(they put me down they put me down)

my mirror's telling me my face is a mess

and all my friendsthey hate the way i dress

Cause I'm a rebel

rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel,

rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel,

a teenage rebel

Well I'm not in school and I hate work

I break all their rules and they call me a jerk

everybody's trying to tell me how to live my life

If I hear it one more time from you baby

gonna slit your gut with a knife

Cause I'm a rebel

rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel,

rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, a teenage rebel

questions and questions
plain as your nose
but who would believe a little rose?
winners and losers in love with themselves
no santa claus
no happy elves

But how does Deleuze square his pessimistic diagnoses with his ethical naturalism? Deleuze claims that standards of value are internal or immanent: to live well is to fully express one's power, to go to the limits of one's potential, rather than to judge what exists by non-empirical, transcendent standards. Modern society still suppresses difference and alienates persons from what they can do. To affirm reality, which is a flux of change and difference, we must overturn established identities and so become all that we can become—though we cannot know what that is in advance. The pinnacle of Deleuzean practice, then, is creativity. "Herein, perhaps, lies the secret: to bring into existence and not to judge. If it is so disgusting to judge, it is not because everything is of equal value, but on the contrary because what has value can be made or distinguished only by defying judgment. What expert judgment, in art, could ever bear on the work to come?"

Seeking wisdom in late-Sixties Mexico City, filmmaker ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY found several unusual masters. Here, he discusses his encounters with the Japanese zen monk Ejo Takada and the Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington...

systemic change

This is not what most people hoped for. But their hopes were so strong that it was easier to indulge in happy dreams and put one’s faith in a prince than to look at the systemic problems that need to be restructured in order for real change to occur. Individuals do not determine who owes what to whom, who is employed by whom or what laws govern their work and investment. Institutional economic and political structures are the key. And somehow the focus has been on the politics of personalities, not on the economic forces at work.

Of all the retreads and comebacks lately--Metallica sucked, Motorhead was good, but GNR is utterly awesome. I know that I'm a classic case. Watch my disenchanted face...

i adore chris martin

Martin: I know what you mean. I feel the air on the back of my neck, I become aware of my blood pressure. I hear the sounds in the room… Years ago Joseph Beuys had a retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum. I was obsessed with Beuys, but I didn’t understand it. There was a sculpture of about five or six tree branches covered by layers of felt. The branches stuck out at either end. I looked very carefully at this sculpture and I heard a sound. It wasn’t a hallucination. I really heard a sound that I knew from my childhood in the Catskill Mountains. It was the sound of a bunch of snow falling off a tree, the heavy thump of snow falling in the forest. I remember looking around to see if something had made this sound. There was a guard. I asked him if he had heard it. I went up to the sculpture and it was called “Snowfall.” It filled me with wonder. It had a tremendous impact on me to have that experience. I realized that art could reach deep into one’s psyche, deep into one’s core, and that this could be communicated through objects. It was a very spooky thing…

learning to teach teaching to learn

Mary Catherine Bateson: A whole series of relationships are becoming two-way streets: The boss has to listen to the employee, the manufacturer has to listen to the customer, the professor has to listen to the student, and the political leader who doesn't listen is likely to be out of a job. Change means that the nature of authority also is changing all over the world.
