Izzy Stradlin.

If you're a man and you don't like Izzy - you're just not cool.

Or he banged your chick.

Or both.

Probably both.

And if you're a woman who doesn't like Izzy - thank you.

There are too many of us.

He doesn't need you.

God is one

To worship any other god than the one God is considered idolatry. Of course, we have seen throughout history the promise of worshipping many gods. This is the curse of the secular age. Most people don't consider the question of Gods oneness to be very interesting. The just accept the stories from the priests that we ought to worship Christ and think critically of sinners and fools. However, it seems there isn't that much to the Christian religion. The Christian religion is based on repentence, and they are less inclined to familiarize themselves with scripture, the ways Jews do. Then there is Islam. Islam has very powerful clergies, but they are marked by a humility, treating God as someone who is just really confoundly good. The best in fact.

Today, many people hate religion, because they believe that there's a lot of trouble in the world, and religion does nothing to help those. However, this is only natural. Religion isn't meant to solve the world's problems: it is meant to solve spiritual problems. Still, there are religions that work to make the world a better place, albeit in a religious way; I am thinking mostly of Buddhism. Buddhism is a religion that suffers greatly under its own creeds. I mean that in a very Zen way. I want to tell people that the world is an evil place, and that we should seek enlightenment; but I don't know what enlightenment is, and the more I think about it, the more I am thankful that the Dharma exists, to pull me towards the simple things in life. In this way, Buddhism also strengthens itself. But I think we'll see that many people are dissatisfied with Buddhism's internal inconsistencies and for this reason seek salvation elsewhere.

I suppose this is why many people will find China's religions to be the best. In China, Confucianism satisfies the spiritual needs for people who are curious and independent minded; Daoism fulfills the needs of those who are basically doing fine and don't really need anything more than than to live up their lives. Nonetheless, Daoism can be confusing. After all, many things in life are worth striving for: we can desire things in a way that makes us want to put in great effort (Kung fu) and Daoism detracts from this by putting us in the role of loafers and men of leisure. Really, Daoism isn't that profound. It seeks to point our soul towards an obscurantist metaphysical principle, but we only call it metaphysical because it is unfathomable, and this is what Daoism does. it tells us to stop acting "because". Still, the principle of non-intervention that underlies Daoism has religious merit. It can be fulfilling to take it easy just because. Why work harder than you need to? Of course, one might say it is because we want things, and here is the confusing part of Daoism, the foundations are self-denial. Here is where I see the promise of Judaic religion. It believes in duty. Judaism transcends apathy by allowing people to act and to speak.

There is a line in Knights of the Old Republic 2 by Chris Avellone that says "Apathy is death." Now Daoism doesn't necessarily inspire apathy, nor does Buddhism, but they all seem to point us towards confusion, and confusion can lead to apathy. Now I wish so bad to be a philosohoper, a metaphysicist in fact, who can tackle the most important problems of philosophy in a good way; but instead I am just a theologian, hell perhaps even a theologian of the nation, like Eugen Weber called it, because I also see myself as a historian of sorts; yes, history is the mistress of life, I really think so, and my days would be considerably more miserable if I didn't have history, but I am not sure how significant the difference would really be. But in any case, no matter how wholesome history is and how nourishing, and no matter how badly I want to be a philosopher, these things block us, and keep us from acting. But yeah, Daoism and Buddhism do seem oddly "philosophical" in some particular way, and this is probably why they can also paralyse us. Anyway, it seems we have to practice Judaim in some way - and I ain't even a Jew - to survive in the world, to write; because writing is the epitome of life, through writing we can give purpose to our whole day, and really support us in our horrors and terrors.

But anyway, metaphysics I suppose is a lot like telling jokes, you can't do it on command, yet we have to speak anyway. In history, religion has very often inspired metaphysics; in fact, metaphysics used to be a flourishing science in the days of Christianity, but since the days of secularism, it barely exists anymore; and the weird thing is, I can't think of a single metaphysical sentence, except maybe for Sartre's existence precedes essence, which I would only think of because Heidegger called it a metaphysical sentence. But I don't know any real metaphysics: it seems it doesn't even exist. All I can think of is a picture from a book by Thomas Carlyle of a blind man walking off the face of the Earth, subtitled "metaphysics". And they call Hegel metaphysics, but it is just misguided jabbering, even though it might be called good writing by wise fools.

Anyway, this is my new method for writing: I will be a Jew, and I will study the Bible and learn the language of the Bible, and I will hold sermons perhaps and theologize the nation if luck will have it, or something; but in the end metaphysical thoughts may flow out of it. In fact, my master is Robin Williams, because he probably couldn't make jokes on command either, but he was still great at improv; you know, improv is my passion, 'cept I ain't a comedian. I'd be a metaphysicist. You know, you may say something, and it may be funny, but afterwards, if you quote it out of context, it may not be so funny after all. Who knows, it might be also the case with metaphysics, that its metaphysical when you say it, but it ain't metaphysical anymore when you quote it out of context. You know, just now I am looking at the Wikipedia page of Duns Scotus, the English metaphysicist, and it has for example the following sentence: universalia exist. This is supposedly metaphysics. It sounds somewhat metaphysical, right? Because of the word "exist". You know, there's another metaphysical story from the oeuvre of Avicenna, that says that the soul must exist because if you imagine a floating man to come into existence who has no knowledge of his body he'll still have a consciousness. That's also metaphysical - or actually, it is a thought experiment that invites metaphysical speculation. But you have to admit, it's unclear to really pinpoint what kind of thoughts these are. What are we thinking about here? The relationship of mind and matter. Why is that metaphysical? I don't know, it really has nothing to do with any other philosophical problem. These kind of questions have a tendency to take on a life of their own. It seems that these are questions of a scholastic origin, predicating definitions on things that really mean something else entirely. I suppose that's where "ordinary language philosophy" comes from. But the problem with ordinary language is that there's nothing ordinary about ordinary language, it's just language. We see this most profoundly in John McDowell's work. The guy is unintelligible, but he speaks with words that sound very hands-on and actionable. That's what I am saying. Can we be metaphysical by accident? Is there metaphysics outside of scholasticism? Of course, some would say there is, in Kripke's work. But that stuff is too focussed on language. People shouldn't think philosophy is the study of language. There's nothing philosophical about language. As I said, my master is Robin Williams, I am more like Larry David than like Kripke (understand Larry David better than Kripke too, of course). This is what I am saying: you can't be metaphysical on cue, you can benefit from religion to get you out of your apathy. We might say, there ain't no metaphysics without religion, weird as it might be. We might say: Buddhist philosophy is more metaphysical than Kripke. Fulfilling your spiritual goals opens up your discourse for metaphysical philosophy. Metaphysics is the ultimate pastime. Of course, here we are reminded of that very true statement by Lipsius, that it is sad to do philosophy for merriment, when it is the most serious of fields. Still, his friend Montaigne said there wasn't much philosophy going down if people weren't laughing.

Three portraits of singer Chris Isaak by Bruce Weber (circa 1988)

[cowboylikeyouu]

in germany, chris evan‘s roles (including steve) are mostly voiced by dennis schmidt-foß, but as johnny storm he‘s voiced by benedikt weber, and it made for a really cool moment during dp&w. bc wade’s super convinced that he‘s steve, but all the german people who watch the german dub of marvel movies religiously are already like huh??? bc that‘s NOT steve rogers‘ voice, and then when it’s revealed that he‘s actually johnny, wade‘s like "ah yeah, i should’ve known from the voice". and idk, it’s not hilarious or anything, but it just made me soo happy that they used wade‘s 4th wall breaks differently in different languages. just felt the need to share this

[lagunz]

you know what i love? i love the way that the people who meet izzy describe him. everyone who got/gets a chance to meet izzy in their life knows he's something special. he was the glue of GNR, the most meaningful lyrics came from him. he was really something different from his bandmates.

he's described to be shy when first met, but after spending time with him he gets comfortable and the conversation turns easy flowing. he's described multiple times as a cool guy, he was always destined for fame. maybe that was what made him cool, destined for fame but he stepped himself out of that and yet still stays relevant and successful. truly cool.

“I was just blown away. I mean, Izzy was just about the coolest thing I’d ever seen in my life. He had this aura about him, with dyed black hair and he was a really nice guy who wasn’t into playing a role or pretending he was someone else, like so many of those people. Izzy dressed cool. He smoked cool. He was great. You could see that he was going to be a huge rock star someday.”

— Chris Weber about meeting Izzy for the first time at the Rainbow parking lot (Watch you bleed by Stephen Davis)

'Is this the... uh, red-letter district,' he asks me uninterestedly in his slightly paranoid half-whisper of a voice. A lantern-jawed Midwestern farm boy with haunted eyes and a monumental Keith Richards fixation.

— Nick Kent 1990

Silent, introverted, pointy-chinned and meek, Izzy tried to respond, coquettishly flirting back and smirking like a shy schoolboy.

— Unknown memoir

I was entranced by his eyes, glowing with the most magical olive and amber tones I had ever seen, as the glaring sun reflected down into them.
