“half-way through The Illuminatus! Trilogy. UTTER
madness”
Just working my way through the Appendices at the moment. I
think I’ve been reading it since Christmas, it’s so hard going, and
it helps if you are in a certain ‘mood’ when reading it.
But I feel like I’ve learnt something, I’m just
not sure what.

For anyone interested - Amazon now claim to have
"17" in stock .. although my "expected delivery date" still
seems to be almost 3 weeks away.
Also, for Glasgow bods - Bill will be in Waterstone's to
talk about the book on Mon 15th Sept. Think it's possible to book for it if
you're interested.
Finally .. I'm currently half-way through The Illuminatus!
Trilogy. UTTER madness .. but truly brilliant. Can't recommend it enough and at
£6.99 for 800 odd pages it's a bit of a steal.

Its fine collecting art just because its B&J, but the
bottom line is art is about how the viewer or
listener perceives & enjoys it. I've bought quite a few
of jimmys cnpd prints and ended up selling
some because I felt i'd bought them for the wrong reason. When
I took time to stop and look at the
pictures some just didn't float my boat,and I couldn't
justify keeping them.

Art is OK, if the audience gets the message.
But saying that recorded music is over, and time to move on to 17-person
choirs, all this by a person who's become famous as a manager for bands AND a
recording artist in his own right, with some pretty collectable albums and
singles under his belt, is pretty confusing, isn't it? So if that was the
point, to confuse, it succeeded :D
You are right about tolerating the weird shit, but for me, it still seems like
Bill's trying to distance himself from everything he's ever done musically, and
doing it with a spoiled boy's attitude, as John Whitney said.
