about him I don't I well I don't know

01:06:13

I think dignity as undignified as i may
[TS]
01:06:15
◼

seem sometimes I really honor it and
[TS]
01:06:18
◼

other people i would like to seek it out
[TS]
01:06:20
◼

and myself and get something that we've
[TS]
01:06:22
◼

lost because it feels stancy there is so
[TS]
01:06:26
◼

much we've lost because it feels fancy
[TS]
01:06:29
◼

and I was thinking about this the other
[TS]
01:06:30
◼

day she's we live in a culture now where
[TS]
01:06:34
◼

we we have spent so much time feeling
[TS]
01:06:40
◼

that we have spent so much time at
[TS]
01:06:42
◼
►
saying to ourselves over and over that
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
narcissism is a is like this loving of
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
oneself that is unbecoming and so all of
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
our narcissism as a culture is directed
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
at hating ourselves and we think that
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
like it makes it more authentic
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
yeah that because we hate ourselves
[TS]
01:07:04
◼
►
somehow the fact that we are still
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
spending all day long hate thinking only
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
about ourselves somehow it's not
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
narcissistic because it's because it is
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
directed it into this blackness
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
oh and I mean let's go back to the
[TS]
01:07:17
◼
►
Greeks let's go back to our system
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
doesn't matter what the emotion is if
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
it's an inward turning emotion that you
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
are turning over in your mind for its
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
own sake whether you love or hate
[TS]
01:07:27
◼
►
yourself if you're obsessed about that
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
you're a narcissist right and so frankly
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
of the two having lived in a culture
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
here in the northwest where for 10 years
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
hating oneself was was basically the
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
only rear the only creative reaction you
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
could have to the world are the only
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
acceptable creative reaction you could
[TS]
01:07:45
◼

have to the world was hating yourself
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
and realizing like you know one of the
[TS]
01:07:49
◼

two I would much rather people walk
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
around if they're going to be thinking
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
about themselves all the time when I
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
love themselves you know I mean and
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
frankly I think the route to thinking
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
about other people comes through loving
[TS]
01:08:03
◼
►
yourself rather than hating yourself and
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
I've watched so many people artists and
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
otherwise who go down this death spiral
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
of self-hate where they become the most
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
narcissistic the least like lovable the
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
least likable the least useful people
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
over because they are consumed with
[TS]
01:08:21
◼

their with their own failings and I you
[TS]
01:08:25
◼

know I'm guilty of this myself who you
[TS]
01:08:28
◼

know i would add this area and I think
[TS]
01:08:30
◼

it changes with generations and this new
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
generation one of the one of the reasons
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
that people our age is so mad that
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
people our age are so mad at at at 21
[TS]
01:08:42
◼

year olds is that they seem to be having
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
fun a lot of them
[TS]
01:08:45
◼

and you know it's a generation that
[TS]
01:08:48
◼

maybe is going to turn the tide and be
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
frivolous and be honest aqui
[TS]
01:08:54
◼
►
but I feel like that is as that's as
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
valid a valid form of of like a
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
self-obsession is as any of the grunge
[TS]
01:09:04
◼

era boohoo and I really do
[TS]
01:09:08

I mean what could also what could be
[TS]
01:09:09
◼

maybe we're both guilty this right now
[TS]
01:09:11
◼

but what could be more narcissistic than
[TS]
01:09:12
◼

criticizing someone for not hating
[TS]
01:09:14
◼

themselves in the same way that you do

the volume or tone knob on my guitar for
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
any other purpose then then compulsively

[TS]
01:15:34
◼

way we're like not feeding back

[TS]
01:15:39
◼
►
they were turned all the way up and at a
[TS]
01:15:41
◼
►
certain point I realized that I was so
[TS]
01:15:43
◼
►
compulsive about touching these knobs to
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
make sure they were all the way up but i
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
just put duct tape across all of the
[TS]
01:15:49
◼
►
knobs on my guitar so that I couldn't
[TS]
01:15:51
◼
►
touch them and they were just always I
[TS]
01:15:53
◼
►
never made any adjustments of any kind
[TS]
01:15:55
◼
►
to any of my gear I just set all of it
[TS]
01:15:58
◼
►
on 11 and Ben flu you know and so I'm
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
thinking to myself maybe this is what
[TS]
01:16:05
◼
►
maybe this guy's one of these guys that
[TS]
01:16:07
◼
►
knows how pedals work that knows how
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
knobs work and he's the reason he has
[TS]
01:16:12
◼
►
for delay pedals is that every one of
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
them is set to a different thing maybe
[TS]
01:16:15
◼
►
this maybe this guy's the head
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
I just thinking maybe it's the edge and
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
he's going to pull out something I've
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
never heard before

◼
►

[TS]
01:16:38
◼
►

[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
melody and this guy starts to play the
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
rhythm part and within 45 seconds he has
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
found a reason to turn every petal on
[TS]
01:16:51
◼
►
it's got the flanger and he's going Wow
[TS]
01:16:58
◼
►
and so we get to the end of the song is

01:17:10
◼
►

[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
little bit you know a little bit softer
[TS]
01:17:13
◼
►
a little bit more melodic this is gotta
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
sort of more about like a it's more a
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
cleaner tone he's like okay great great
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
cool and we start playing you know some
[TS]
01:17:23
◼
►
we start playing
[TS]
01:17:24
◼
►
through with love or whatever some song
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
that's like that's got a pretty pretty
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
bouncy beat and it's very cordial and
[TS]
01:17:32
◼
►
within 45 seconds he's just all and the
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
entire rehearsal was like this he just
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
he season to taste and by season to
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►
taste he meant all 21 pedals on at all
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
times but at the end of every song he
[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►
turned everyone of a month like somehow
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
it's about choc chocolate touch the
[TS]
01:17:58
◼
►
launchpad of like starting the tune and
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
then hitting each pedal bum like that
[TS]
01:18:03
◼
►
was his tone was like I don't I really
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
don't think that this is what what is
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
that the obvious reason you already know
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
why I'm asking this they didn't have a
[TS]
01:18:11
◼
►
board was the first of all it sounds
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
like he's in his mom's basement where he
[TS]
01:18:15
◼
►
has a lot of control over what he does
[TS]
01:18:16
◼
►
if he had done that a lot and it played
[TS]
01:18:18
◼
►
a lot of live shows with that shit he
[TS]
01:18:21
◼
►
would have a board but also in my head
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
I'm thinking this is 11 points of
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
failure
[TS]
01:18:27
◼
►
yeah because I mean I i mean i guess you
[TS]
01:18:29
◼
►
know when i played with pedals in the
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
past maybe I'm old and this technology
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
has improved but there were some things
[TS]
01:18:35
◼
►
where like if that battery died you lost
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
the signal
[TS]
01:18:38
◼
►
yeah it was it wasn't just that your
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
face shifter wasn't as good you had you
[TS]
01:18:42
◼
►
i mean if it was if it went out and did
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
not take this rig on the road it would
[TS]
01:18:46
◼
►
be impossible
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
I mean if you're okay so if you're
[TS]
01:18:49
◼
►
Charles bissell who by the way who's
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
