Great article, very moving and astute "Almost all art is trying to become an anaesthetic and at the same time a healing session drawing up the magical electrics.” | |

I'm glad I decided to click on the thread and follow up by clicking on the link. I'm getting tired of reading things that seem, well... let's not worry about what so many things seem. This was worth it.
Thank you for pointing it out. | |

Loved the interweaving of the apparent opposites in which Prince somehow managed to encompass and transcend both, leading a new way forward. | |

I commented over at Pop Matters that I posted Ms. Jones' piece here - and received this lovely reply from her: I'm so grateful for you doing that. I've been lurking over there a fair bit the last weeks, but haven't signed up - I'm one of those people who uses their voice for a living who's somewhat uncomfortable about talking to people she doesn't know  I had a look at the post - if you get this, can you pass on my very purple best to everyone over there We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
