When you talk bout “man’s culture,” all I have to ask is what man and which culture? There is no culture today except a money culture, a consumer culture. True culture is the outward manifestation of man’s inner being. It represents the visible, tangible expression of his truest soul oriented values. Where is that today? It’s nearly extinct, except for a few isolated outposts that you really have to search to find. As for what to week out or cultivate… I would obviously say cultivate whatever empowers you personally, whatever minimizes any influence exercised over you by the dominant culture. Weed out whatever hinders you or whatever threatens in any way to subvert your instinct. Of course, this is all on a personal level, because that’s where personal power begins, right? In your own life. The present world of humanity is way beyond the point where it could be redeemed by weeding out certain aspects and fixing up certain others. The only cure for it is to let it die a natural death, just as anything that unnatural is forced to do within the context of nature. (Boyd Rice)

Um. Well, there are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile. Uh, like what? Okay, for me....oh I would say..what, Groucho Marx, to name one thing...uh, Willie Mays, and the second movement of the Jupiter Symphony, and um, Louis Armstrongs recording of PotatoHead Blues...um, swedish movies, naturally, sentimental education by Flaubert....um, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra...um, those incredible apples and pears by Cezanne...uh, the crabs at Sam Wo's...uh, Tracy's face....
