Somebody Else's Idea of Somebody Else's World

June Tyson chanting "Somebody else's idea of somebody else's world, it's not my idea of things as they are," is a sacred mantra, which functions as a divine "no" hovering above the futuristic vibrations of Sa Ra's Arkestra. This divine "no" opened a D&G style "line of flight" for new flows of melodic intensities upon which astral projections were streamed and communique with other worlds were reopened. When James Baldwin wrote about getting caught up with the music of the Black Church as a child in Go Tell It on the Mountain, he described his entrance into a different reality that had been closed until the Holy Spirit came riding into the congregation on the hallowed sounds of the church organ, the drums, and the voices of a people set apart. Let's explore how renewal works by considering the root of the word "radical," which reveals the hidden route back to our roots. But let's keep ourselves from the mistake of a reactionary nostalgia that fantasies a lost object that never existed, which is a weaponized nostalgia decrying the decadence of the modern age.
