For sure. I was a big Northrop Frye guy with my English background, but McLuhan really holds up. Joseph Cambell also great, Camus...The latter no Canadian or American, but I just love ideas. Last summer I visited Rousseau’s house, sat in the spot where he wrote overlooking Paris. Unreal stuff. Edited January 20, 2019 by Zeitgeist Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) They were all heroes, all the Founders are heroes, they were simply overthrown by another cohort a heroes, called the 20th Maine, at Little Round Top, and then the Declaration was for all.

In a thousand years, Turing and McLuhan will be the progenitors marching hand in hand, they already are, Fathers of the Information Age. Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I would submit, we have entered the final age, the Information Age is forever, that's not to say that will we not continue to evolve, but we will not evolve beyond the information age, because it is binary, and mathematics is the ultimate truth.

Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Mozart knew this as well, Mozart was mathematical genius, just before his time, they could hear it, they just couldn't convert it into an equation. Quote

Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I might also award Canada Glenn Gould as well, also a genius, but not mathematical, more like Bonaparte. Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Yes, that is correct, Glenn Gould is the Napoleon Bonaparte, of Canada. Quote

Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Glenn Gould is to Toronto, what Napoleon Bonaparte was to Paris, Glenn Gould simply did not need any divisions of troops to achieve his vision, as Toronto followed his vision, nary a shot fired. 1 Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Oscar Peterson? I got nothing, just a skilled musician, a very good one indeed, but not history altering. Miles Davis, history altering only by his in your face black power ferocity. Dizzie Gillespie? Not history altering, like Peterson, just a very skilled musician Quote
Zeitgeist Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Can really get lost I’m Miles Davis stuff. Sorry thread drift. Back to Road Runner Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I would submit, history altering black musicians are more like Robert Johnson, James Brown, Gil Scott Heron, Joseph Saddler, Tupac Shakur, Andre Young, etc Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Miles Davis was after all, mostly apolitical, radical horn, but no radical politics per se. Edited January 20, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I mean, Miles would front about eff the man and whatnot, but when Ron and Nancy Reagan invited him to dinner, he showed up and ate the rubber chicken with the rest, so, not a radical after all Quote

Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Drake is okay by me, I just laugh that he went to Forest Hill and I grew up in Regent Park, yet he is fronting like he is hard when I am the hard man not him. Quote

Totally, but some of it is so cool: Nonstop, Out Like a Light, One Dance...It’s a new wave of music. Love Post Malone too Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I've met him, he's a very nice fellow, I said "who you think you f*cking with, Forest Hill?" and he showed his neck, so it's all good between Drake and me. Quote
Zeitgeist Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Fucking Forest Hill bitch. Lol Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Forest Hill is lovely tho, some of the choicest real estate on the planet, but in terms of the Six, butter soft, no doubt. Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Harshest realm in the Six is Flemingdon Park IMO. Quote
