(I'm going as tweedle dee)
Anyway, so I'm about halfway through it and I am enjoying it a lot, but I heard somewhere that Lewis Carrol was smoking Opium when he wrote it.
Which in my mind raised an ethical dilemma, they tell you from when you are but a mere child that drugs are bad. However if it weren't for opium Lewis Carrol wouldn't have written Alice in Wonderland.
so you see my dilemma, and after spending a tense 13 minutes slaving over this I have come to a conclusion.
People should be allowed to do drugs if they promise they will then write a memorable piece of literature. And it doesn't even have to be literature, it could be a song or even an intepretive dance.
But it has to be brillant. Imagine, if you will, a world where the junkies bumming for a ciggarette did it through world class ballet or in an excellent and engaging prose. It'd be a good world, so Kevin Rudd if you are reading this I hope you are getting some ideas.
Nandrew, the guy who made this video, got into the idea of drugs being an essential part of the creative process.
yeah, they were on so many drugs, I'm surprised they are still alive.
And if you actually like this sort of music check out this site:

It is just a site that recommends and reviews slightly bizzare synth and techno bands.

ReplyDeleteor alternatively I could be less lazy and make sure what I'm saying is true
Alice in Wonderland was a statement on the hypercritical treatment of drugs in society.
ReplyDeleteIt could be about a quick solution to solve problems.
There is something called "Alice in Wonderland syndrome" which is a state of depersonalization due to mental illness & hallucinogenic drugs, with the effects mirroring those Alice experiences in the story.
