when i try to get serious with it, i listen to this and that from this part of town and try to count it. i can’t ever even figure it out. i like music now more than ever but i can’t count higher than four, especially measured against another set of numbers.

Charlie Parker had some COMPLICATED goddam signs.

The Grateful Dead have a few: Estimated Prophet by the Greatful Dead is a wonderful unique little Dead song. And then they tell me it’s coolness is due to being in 7/4 time. Supposedly not that difficult. I can’t count both of those at the same time on different parts of my brain. I suspect I’m supposed to just be a fan. It looks easy when they do it and I can’t even fake it. Pink Floyd had a lot of songs on Dark Side of the Moon which are odd time signs. Money was allegedly 7/4-4/4. It becomes more complicated than women’s underwear.

like the fans in Zappa’s Joe’s Garage, “Music is the Best” i am definitely a fan.

I’ve never really studied music and the theories behind it. My brain would get lost and I’d rather feel it in my bones.
