Culture

Whenever I hear the word culture, I reach for my revolver.
Hermann Goring
 
Social Class

Paul Fussell wrote a useful book titled CLASS IN AMERICA. The book explains the nuts and bolts of what class is, and how to recognize it in the wild. Fussell condemened my town (Tampa) as the proletariat capital of America/ That is, we luv bad food, mean women. and awful art. We have a Salvador Dali museum.

Whenever I hear the word culture I reach for my Boy George LP’s from the 80’s. Still going strong and reformed twice. Seriously though, never really a fan. But some decent songs.
 
Culture.

The blues.

Rock & Roll (Big Momma Thornton! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRVnJ89oisM) - the woman that made Rock a thing, although did it by way of the blues by way of gospel - and "You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog" was NOT an elvis original) ).

Led Zeppelin - half of which tunes is old blues they had to pay for after being sued for not paying the original artists nor giving credit.

Muddy Waters. Buddy Guy. John Lee Hooker.

A culture.

Yeah, most of them died poor, but some didn't - and Buddy Guy - old as fuck - still plays AND insists moneys go to the blues artists (or families of) of old (like JLH) that was not paid for their contributions to what became rock&roll and then rock and ...

There is cultures.

The blues culture is one what tries to give back to its roots.
 
Psychiatric Diaanoses

Lately I see many writers use psychiatric diagnoses describing characters.

NARCISSUSTIC is a common error.

Iy is not conceit. Its a delusional sense of perfection "Tex knew his farts didn't stink" And narcisciusts react violently to opposition and correction.

Schizophrenia is not ambivalence. Its over the top misperception of the world.

JBJ, please get your nose out of the crack of my ass. That mustache and those long nose hairs tickle.
 
You can lead a horticulture but you can’t make her think.

Why did I think it was 'lead a whore to culture'?

Parker, famous for her droll aphorisms (“Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses.”), was challenged to use “horticulture” in a witticism.

I just snorted my coffee. Thankfully, I have minimal nose hair so the cleanup was easy.
