Apparently, have been doubly posting to the other blog when intending posts to go here.
Difficulties arise as Chinese censorship lessens. How about that new Chinese fellow, Xi Jinping? Better than the other guy? God, we almost had another Mao, what a murderously corrupt beast among beasts.
Now Wikipedia is accessible in China, so I'm able to legally read about the 14th Dalai Lama's comments related to various mantras and their relationship to various positive lines of personal progression on an enlightened path toward enlightenment - linguistic magic.
Would you dare argue music to lack such magic? The Chinese might, Youtube is still blocked, it's a great source of new music.
I haven't slept in some time so this may make less sense with time.
