Allow, if I may, to re-blog – without comment – a quote I just read on one of my favorite all-things-freak-folk blog, naturalismo:

Q: How do you think your present image as world traveller, bawdy singer, etc. combine with your image as a writer of children’s books?
Shel: I don’t think about my image.
Q: But if you are a spokesman and leader of your generation with millions of followers, don’t you care what they think?
Shel: I don’t speak for anybody but me; I am not a leader. I just want them to let me alone so I can do my thing.
Q: What is your thing?
Shel: I don’t know. That depends on the day, the time of day, and what I did yesterday.

  • I'm sure he''s a nice fellow, but he's mistaken. Authenticity is a sham and a pose. This man (posing in bare feet, as if that wasn't sending some sort of implied message about his 'down-to-earth' aesthetic) is either unaware of his artfice, or is being disengenuous.

    There are two kinds of narcissism: the healthy kind that entails being a 'real fake' and inviting others to join in, or this crypto-fakery that takes itself too seriously to admit its own artifice. I don't trust it.
  • This is how I like to respond to all "important" questions people ask me.
  • reminds me of Charles Barkley's "I am not a role model. Parents should be role models." commercials back in the day.
