Gee. Since we're defining ~what Blues Is~, and also what, ~sarcasm, irreverence and HIPPER-THAN-THOU is~, I was thinking: What is ~Existence~?
I mean this is Harp-L, right? We can't define ~tone~ or ~honk~, but we're raring to go on what, exactly, ~Blues~ is.
So, tell me, what's ~existence~? Did it come into being before consciousness? Or was there something conscious already and then existence plopped down next to it? Tell me. I'm ready to block and copy.
And while we're at it: What's ~love~?
Or ~light~ [for that matter]; is it just the absence of darkness? I mean, would it exist without eyeballs to be blinded occasionally by it?
Or ~Jazz~. That's the one I really want to understand. Would ~Jazz~ exist without lonely [non-musician] NY cafe-goers who think listening to some junkie practice scales is a special evening? I mean. I mean, what is Jazz, really? It's more about diminishment rather than augmentation, that much I figured out on 2 bottles of Boones Farm my first summer in the Village but- - -
Or. How about, like, Lightening Bugs! How do they DO that?
