I can’t decide whether to go with Dinaw
Megestu and what he WRITES in the new book that I’m reading – How To Read The
Air…….
Or with Joey Ramone and what he doesn’t,
but could, SING on the most recent album I bought – The Ramones Heard Them Here
First.
Written word or voice?
It’s a dilemma.
Here’s Dinaw Megestu, on page 42 of the
Vintage paperback version
“He realised at a young age –eight, to be precise, in the
weeks following his mother’s death – that the world was a cruel and unfair
place, and yet despite that he hated watching it pass.”
Here’s not Joey Ramone, this time, but Loui
Armstrong, track 24 of the Ace CD set
“Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights And
I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.”
It's a dilemma.
