Emma
is finished
“With a mission to preserve, protect, and project the revolutionary spirit of rock and roll. We feared that the music which had given us sustenance was in danger of spiritual starvation. We feared it losing its sense of purpose, we feared it falling into fattened hands, we feared it floundering in a mire of spectacle, finance, and vapid technical complexity.”

I need to do some serious reflecting. Disappointed in myself that I didn’t give weight to the signs.
“Where does it all lead? What will become of us? These were our young questions, and young answers were revealed. It leads to each other. We become ourselves.
… Yet sometimes that desire was nothing more than a wish to go backward where our mute light spread from hanging lanterns with mirrored panels.”

“In the end, truth will be found in the work, the corporeal body of the artist. It will not fall away. Man cannot judge it.”
I’m really excited to start this, her writing is incredibly poetic so far. This is gonna be deliciously devastating.
