My grandparents bitch about the Mexicans coming up to Washington D.C. and changing the climate of lexicon. You're just as obsolete as their mindset. Have fun being left behind as language continues to evolve as it always has.
Ever try reading original manuscripts of Shakespeare? Holy shit! Their esses are effs! What the fuck were they thinking!
Douche.
Good. Invent better cameras...

Where do you see yourself as an artist in 10 years, and doing what? The Internet and its relationship to musicians, writers et al is just now beginning to be explored, so what's your take on it all?
Ha. I just sent off an email to someone at the ALA with the very same message. Here's the good part:
"I'm writing about Gorman's latest rant against blogs on libraryjournal.com. I won't waste time/space/eyeball room arguing that he's wrong. I just wanted to say that in this current political climate, our libraries have been widely regarded as one of the most neo-sanctified bastions of freedom left in this mindfucked world, and to see someone associated with the ALA trashing an important, critical new movement/medium is discouraging to say the least. Unless it was Gorman's goal in the first place to provoke us all and remind us of the fact that the dinosaurs will always decry whatever it is that threatens to bring about their extinction. If that's the case, than bravo, Mr. Brachiosaur, and good luck with that long neck."

As an upstart webmaster/online author, this vision of a new industry reborn on the back of the Internet is something that I've thought about a lot. It's nice to picture a rosy future where the true value of art is the only merit on which it is judged, but there's a lot of aspects to work out in the meantime.
I've been running my site (short stories, "poetry", etc) 9 months now, for instance, and I still haven't had much luck cracking more than my immediate circle of friends/friends of friends. But do I even want to do that? It's like the Star Wars kid -- it could all go horribly wrong, suddenly hitting massive exposure. What's the optimum growth rate for a band/writer/whatever trying to stake a claim in cyberspace? It can be scary thinking about how you might the next site lampooned on the cover of somethingawful.com.
I also wonder if it's okay to completely ditch the physical medium entirely. I've flirted around with print-on-demand stuff (lulu.com, publish and be damned) before, and put a book or two in print; but if years down the road the opportunity arose to get picked up by a major publisher, would I be better off culminating my own little site and revelling in my independence?
I don't think I've made any points at all by now, but I did want to fire off a quick "huzzah!" to believing that we're witnessing a radical shift in the alignment of culture and art, due the onset of this digital revolution.
Good luck with your music, and see you on the other side; whatever the hell it ends up looking like.

Fossil. You're just mad that youths are commanding greater influence on language at a much, much earlier age. (thank you, AOL!)
(Ha. "Thank you AOL..." What a riot.)
Earlier signs of obsolesence sting, is that it?
Nonono, you're mixing up what I was talking about with those darned lateral r's and distal q's. I was more focused on the radial posterior esses.
Now we can happily be on the same page. Oar a vwar!
