Ha Ha .
I think we spend alot of time trying to be to smart about it.
Everytime I introduce kids to technology ' I am amazed in a
really humble and profound way.
Personally I am realizing, that I will not come up with a whole
lot of new ideas. I basically want to spend the next 15 years
refining the ideas I have until they are beautiful.
What I would love to do, is putting solid systems in front of young
people and let them do what they want.
I certainly would never of discovered heaps of music if certain
seniors in my life had not shown me the door.
From their came the blooming of new ideas and creative intensity.
Today ' I have to many hard earned understandings that begin to
limit in some sense my ability accept or interperate new things.
I have noticed alot of my peers going back to old music.
I remember being 18 and trying to figure out why grown up listen
to old music, and getting really frustrated about not being able
to introduce them to new stuff.
Now I find some new music tired and tried. Perhaps if I was 18
again it would be sweet and rich.
This is why I feel like I'm trying to be to smart about it!
