SONG OF THE DAY: Do Your Thing (kudzu'd)


Whatever your thing is, I hope you were able to do it today. I hope that you didn’t have the mental roadblock of some material acquisition which stood in the way of doing your thing. I hope your thing somehow descends from this quote I found from George Clinton, interviewed in the Richmond Times-Dispatch in anticipation of his P-Funk tour opening at the Coliseum in 1978. Clinton said that, “Funk is the absence of – you take the best of what you don’t have, and make the most of it. It’s the ability to cope and be natural. It’s what comes to you naturally. Ok?” The Power of Lounge ain’t nothin’ new, it ain’t nothin’ fancy, it’s as ancient as spring peepers talkin’ shit from the muck. And it’s as southern gothicc futuristic as cicadas making a dope ass crescendo symphony, without practice, in the most humid ass moment you’ve ever known. Whatever your thing is, I hope it’s something along the lines of those things, which come easy and natural, yet seem to have more and more roadblocks put up in front of them by the consumer infrastructure installed everywhere we ain’t looking, at all times. But lounge shall always prevail. And the haters know this; that’s why they’re so panicked to do all their bastard shit so quickly. They’re poisoned by the clock, and the greed of accumulated pyramid scams. They ain’t shit, and they know it, because they wish they were. They just don’t realize, it ain’t about having and doing, it’s about not having and undoing. So do your thing, fellow human ass person poking your eyeballs into the cyberpool.
