You know it! Time for some Crazysheet. That’s what I’ll be doing now. Gonna be interrupted halfway through the entry to go pick up some laundry. From the laundromat. Then later on in the evening when it’s over I’ll get some dinner. From the dinermat. Later on some more I’ll take a shower in the showermat. Then even more later on I’ll go to bed. Sleeping on a… mat…that checks out I guess. EXCUSE ME I BELIEVE IT’S CALLED A MatTTRESS. Us people and our precious words. If I wanna say I sleep on a mat I can say I sleep on a mat! MAYBE I sleep on a rubber mat that they use for public school gymnasiums you don’t know. I think after Rubber Soul the Beatles should have putRubber before every record title. Rubber Revolver. Rubber Magical Mystical Tour. Rubber (Self Titled). You get the idea. Once you do something you gotta commit to it I feel! THAT’S HOW MUSIC WORKS! Anyway I’m getting better at the couple of blues songs I was having trouble with. Still can’t play them the way they’re supposed to be played. But I can play them Badly Well. I can play SOMETHING in Silence’s Place. It won’t sound good. But you’re gonna hear something happen instead of nothing. “That sounds like an amateur succeeding in TRYING to play the guitar!” Something like that.
Anyway. Got three new songs assigned to me including the very exciting Johnny B Goode. Gonna have to Marty McFly it up. My whole life has led to this. Anyway. The title Johnny B Goode lives very much in the same universe as Good Will Hunting. YEAH. I should ask band and teacher if I could do dialogue from Back To The Future before we play the song. Confusing Many but Amusing Some! I don’t think I’m gonna do that. Oh well. “This song is an oldie but a goodie.. well it’s an oldie where I come from…” I’d be amused if I was in the audience seeing that! And partly confused I Guess. GREAT. Anyway. I also found out the theme for the songs we’re gonna do over Summer.90’s Rock. WOW. Delightful! I think I can really groove this kinda music! The kind of music I’m assuming it is! MAYBE It’s the music The Rolling Stones and other similar-aged legends will be putting out ten years from now. When they’re in THEIR 90’S. THAT KIND OF 90’S ROCK. All about what it’s like to be in your 90’s. We wanna relate to that! How about rock where you only play in the 9’s on the fret board on the guitar. Also zeroes I guess. I don’t.. wha… NO. OH NO I might have to tune my guitar back and forth a lot. ALT ROCK IS ALT TUNING everyone knows that. Alt Rock dominated the 90’s. We’re assuming that’s what 90’s rock will focus on. You know what happens when you assume. SURE I DO. I ASSUME ALL THE TIME OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS I’M USED TO IT. ALL I DO IS ASSUME. VERY COMMON ACTIVITY.
Anyway. I guess it’s time for some more things to say. Why is a documentary about Lorne Michaels being shown in my local movie theater. I might see it! But why is it there? I don’t understand this universe. I don’t like this galaxy either. I don’t GET galaxies. Galaxies are really big but they’re small compared to universes but they’re EXTREMELY BIG STILL so overallconfusing I DON’T LIKE BEING CONFUSED? THERE’S WAY MORE STARS AND WHATKNOT OUT THERE than I imagine as baseline. I know logically they tell us how much stars and galaxies and etc. there are. But in my head I still imagine the universe being about .0001% as big as it is! Not just in empty space, but how much it’s composed of stuff. SO MUCH STUFF OUT THERE I DON’T BELIEVE IT. Anyway. I do like the nameThe Milky Way though. Kinda indie. Offbeat a little. Something weird but lyrical about it that I appreciate! I remember as a kid being confused being toldhey look at that constellation in the sky… That’s The Milky Way! UH… I THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE MILKY WAY. How can THAT be that Milky Way. I’M IN THE MILKY WAY. How can something far away be the Milky Way?! It makes sense a little but also is pretty dumb a lot. For a kid it’s insightful. For an adult you should just shut your mouth and pretend you understand everything.
Anyway. I should be able to play Johnny B Goode but can I prance like Chuck Berry and/or Michael J Fox while I’m doing it? People want to see Me Make A Fool Of Myself. DO A PRANCE during the song. CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE MUSIC PERFORMANCE. But with no ill will. AnywayJust Went TO Laundromat. It was great! I’m back already! How come there’s not a famous rapper namedIll Will. Seems like we should have gotten to that a long time ago. At this point it’s kinda too late I think! There’s probably some people out there who thought to call themselvesIll Will. They just never really caught on!* Anyway. I think this entire time Chuck Berry really wishes he was a Bell Player. He plays his guitar just like he’s ringing a bell. The subtext is THE NARRATOR WISHES HE WAS RINGING A BELL. Sad that he never figured that out for himself! Stuck playing the guitar his entire life and not ringing a bell as far as I know. I never saw any movie about Chuck Berry’s life so I don’t know. I saw The Life Of Chuck but IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM! Anyway so I was just looking at google and apparently Chuck Berry’s ONLY #1 hit wasMy Ding-A-Ling. So make of that what you will! I THINK IT ALL ADDS UP.
Ok. Anyway. What else is up. I think it’s great that the people born after the 90’s in my class are still excited about 90’s Rock. Maybe there’s something intangible about that music that’s good and I don’t Really Like It just because It Was My Turn To Like That Music based on when I was born and/or when I grew up. Anyway. I hope we get some mostly good 90’s rock but also some Cheesy 90’s rock. Like MATCHBOX 20. NOT A LOT. Just 1 or 2 generic nostalgia crowdpleasers. I AM SMART I think there should be “cringe” songs in the setlist. If I ask for it first then when we’re assigned it I can say I asked for it first. Great. How about CHUMBAWUMBA. You idiots. I dunno. It’s not my job to pick. I just play the songs! Ideally without emotion and off to the side! I play them with emotion. I FEEL THINGS. I feel like I Wanna Get It Right. When I play I feel likeI Wish I Practiced This More I Wanna Get This Right And Then Onto The Next Song Which I Wanna Get Right Too Despite Not Practicing Enough. IT’S EMOTION. If you can’t see that in the audience then THAT’S ON YOU REALLY. Learn how to read people. Okay. Anyway. What if Marty McFly played an original song at his parents’ high school dance. How would that have changed the world. Would it have been for the better or for worse. We’ll never know I guess but I think it would have been more honest of him! I think we all wanna hear aPinheads song! Anyway. I’ll see ya later.

*Nas had a friend named Ill WIll apparently. He never caught on cause he died young. I suppose Ill Will left some sort of ILL WILL dictating the distribution of his leftovers to his loved ones. THANKS
