“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: INFINITE.”
‘WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE’, DIRECTED BY TOM DiCILLO (2009)
the most superlative film on JIM MORRISON, and The Doors, if not the most superlative film / documentary . . ever.
I’m surprised – not more people know about it.
a ‘riveting’ time-traveler, using real footage, it’s . . a mind-blower.
WATCH: THE TRAILER / ‘WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE’, 2009 & turn the music up – full BLAST.

I say: JIM MORRISON !!!!
& while we are on the topic / of how clueless – the mainstream art world is:
Y’all . . . can call art: visionary, rebel, formal / even theory, skills & functional, but please leave
‘practice’ . . . to the doctors who take out your appendix / thanks.

“To snip is to exact a procedure of light maintenance – a controlled & mostly benign operation of precision violence.
It’s a visit to the barber shop or the remedy for an unraveling thread. The snip also refers to the stuff of surgery,
of birth and ritual: the episiotomy, the umbilical cord, the foreskin. Trauma & catharsis beget our psycho-spiritual conditions.
We grow we injure we heal. The scars are exit wounds but sometimes the shrapnel can remain.”
