Andrew … I Found This On the Internet, Not In A Museum

Jon, you read Tom Coates’ blog? He had a good summary of Keen’s style. There was talk in the comments of whether Keen was a curmudgeon or a troll. I’d say troll. Curmudgeons, for all their grumpiness, aren’t out to hurt. Trolls are activist misanthropes, spreading fatuous contrarianism and the like wherever they go.

He managed to rile some of the anti-war conservatives too.

He’s an equal opportunity crank!

dd .. I did read Tom’s post. See my just-previous post

The thing I enjoy most is the synergy of rhythms that develops occasionally.

Hi there, monsieur mole.

From the comments in Tom Coates’ post, or from amongst the incessant chatter of millions of monkeys typing ?

Hey, Jon. The comment was to your “It’s Still Quite New …” post. I screwed up somehow.

It’s one of the mysteries of the medium that only shows up (for me) after long and concerted engagement (with people and subject.)

A silent “music”, maybe, dissonant and consonant, orchestrating itself. Humbling, exciting stuff.

Thanks for the clarification, moleo.

I was wondering. Yes, it is both humbling and exciting. Comes and goes, reminds me always of the lyrics of Leonard Cohen’s song “In My Secret Life”.
