FrizzText: Sometimes, if you stand at crossroads, the dogma of your own thinking points to the right way . But the reality already disappeared for a long time towards the left. Or the other way around. The reality is malleable, supple, flexible, changeable. She dives secretly under the manufactured, ordered, commanded, instructed language and is always gone elsewhere. The outdated language remains like a wrong dress, without content. You have to search for the new, correctly describing language weekly.

the blues guitarist John Lee Hooker once said in an interview: “If I had been to school, learning to read and write – I wouldn’t be, who I am now.” Frizz: that means, language sometimes can destroy our identity (so it is good at least, if we know some other “languages”: music, photography, dancing …)

wow, that is a really nice video; is that a clip from the robert johnson movie? this morning at 8 this clip played from one end to the other! hoo-rah!!!!
i went to the link, and it appears that the student extracted a small part from something – and i found the 1:34:43 movie Crossroad Blues/Road Movies… late late at night i will watch this!
thanks for taking me to the Delta this morning.. and yesterday as well!

back to the Delta, where I’ve never been –
but my soul feels an analogy nevertheless.

if i get my visa soon, i might make it back to the delta before the cotton’s harvested.. if so, i’ll be taking lots of photos. a friend whose husband is a cotton entomologist had zero cotton this year.. everyone planted corn. that must look so strange to see those fields in anything except cotton!

well it’s almost 11 here, so the video screen is black with a little circle going round and round in an effort to play the video! i know, however, exactly what song would play, and in my head i am ‘ a little bitty baby and my momma is a rockin’ me in my cradle…’ only it might have been jenny rockin’ me!’

dear Lisa, your article “remembering jenny” is so heart breaking! I’ll play the song on my guitar for you: ~ 11 MB on soundcloud, maybe faster to join than a youtube video with much more MBs (and another plug in software)? The subtitles of the youtube cotton fields video are very political about child abuse and lethal pesticides: the reality creeped away from romantic: that fits the topic of my intro sentence of this post, isn’t it?

Yes, Frizz, it’s definitely good to have other languages – especially music. Words can be so clumsy, lumpy and generally misunderstood. It’s easy to miss the finer meanings. Words can also make horrible weapons in the way music cannot, though of course the two might be (mis)used together to coerce or propagandise.

hi Tish,
“One can easily imagine a language consisting
only of orders and messages in battle,
or a language consisting only of questions
and an expression of affirmation and negation.
And countless others. To imagine a language
means to imagine a life form.“

Dear Frizz!!!
Such a wonderful music>!!!!! It brings the weight of distant histories, of old dreams, of work and effort…I love it!
I agree with Hooker´s words…Different languages allow the development of different corners of our soul…And sometimes soul takes a different path from brain…

Knowing other languages is indeed good–sometimes I think poetry is a separate and distinct language: it doesn’t always have to “mean”, but “be”.

“poetry is a separate and distinct language:” yes of course, for sure your poetry, sometimes related to surrealism? automatic writing? There were decades I wrote poetry too, escaping the concrete language of political correctness. Then I discovered psychology, philosophy – all different languages. Then I read Umberto Ecco and his theory of signs / semantic – and realized, mathematics, photography, music, body language of dancers, painting, sports – are all different languages / expressions of human messages …

We have to constantly reevaluate and expand our assumptions of what language is – like art, music and time it is fluid and changing, it keeps us connected not only to the past and present but forces us to embrace the future.

languages are strange sometimes. Between the message that we emits and how it is received, there’s a gap, differences….Sometimes a wrong language, sometimes a wrong reception.
With songs, poems, it’s even more difficult. for example this song :
It’s not about traffic jam 😀
