Admit it Matt. You are not really a Gourds' fan at all, are you??
C'mon??
I like The Gourds.
Enough to make a movie about them.
I have the sneaking suspician that, in the grand tradition of Andy
Kaufman, et al. you have decided to deconstruct fandom by creating the
absolute most obnoxious fan you or anyone can imagine.
How am I obnoxious?
I really wanna know. 'Cause in real life I try not to be. On the
internet and in my other writings, I'm not sure that applies.
The narrator is not always the author.
Your real genius (c'mon admit it) is that you have exploited the internet
and become the first ever virtual performance artist. You aim to make
those of us who are still salvageable - aware of the absurdity of
identifying with a band or any musical movement and you have chosen our
humble little cult to beging tyhe Cook Revisionist movement.
I do say things on here I would never say on public (unless completely
plastered).
And I know I probably shouldn't.
Identify?
What does that mean?
I could never make music like The Gourds, and I would never try.
I like it, though.
Those guys have helped me a lot in a lot of ways.
I salute you good sir. Matt Cook. You have captured Beatlemania
(lightning in a bottle!!) and thrown it back at another generation in a
brilliant stunt and stuffed history back in its black whole.
The Beatles were a great band. Their fans don't really enter into that
fact in my mind.
gourds. gourds. gourdS. gourDS. gouRDS. goURDS. gOURDS. GOURDS. GOURDS!!
ha ha. oh Matt, please let us in on the joke.
The joke is all at my expense, believe me.
I've spent a year of my life on this movie, and it's not finished yet.
I know you won't. But breathe easy for we are one step closer to
freedom from bondage.
Matt Cook. Performance Artist. Liberator!
I hope that there are more people as stupid as I am.
