Sink the Boat

SINK THE BOAT

When you consider
that the only truly
fresh and provocative music
of the 20th century
was created by guys
in a garage
with electric guitars,
maybe it is time
to abandon academia
altogether;
forget gigantic
publishing companies
and ossified
“classical”
thinking.

Forget music
that was.
Music
is life.
Don’t watch
someone else’s—
live
your own!
