I saw Link Wray tonight.
He came to my town, Tallahassee, Florida, tonight, and if you don't believe it, look here.

wraysshack3tracks.com...

For those of you who don't know who Link Wray is, you probably don't play guitar. He is 76 years old, and he is basically the inventor of the "distortion" or "fuzz tone" sound you hear on just about every rock or industrial record these days. He invented fuzz tone in the 1950's by poking holes in his amplifier. These days kids play though expensive distortion pedals, but they never quite sound as good as Link Wray's 1957 "Rumble". A veteran of the Korean War, Link Wray contracted tuberculosis there and lost a lung from it, but he can still scream with the best of them.

Link Wray's music runs madly down the graffitied halls of the American high school, looking for a score, a lay, a fast ride, a roll in the hay. My ears are still ringing from his majestic distortion, and he played his soul out while a crowd of about 50 people looked on in awe. This is a few thousand less than the crowd at your average major-label rock show, but who the fuck cares? Link Wray was a greaser when greasers were shit, he was a punk when punks were shit, and now he's a crazy old man when crazy old men are shit.

There was a girl there I've had my eye on for some time; she is a cute blonde who reminds me of a younger Michelle Pfeiffer. I had been meaning to talk to her tonight, but I didn't because she gave off such bad vibes.
She sat in the back of the room and pouted the whole time. Everybody else was dancing, but she was pouting, while I got roaring drunk and soaked up the essence of thrash rockabilly mayhem that is Link Wray.

So I say, fuck her and all you fucking cunts who think art is about creating a billion-dollar pop culture fad like the Matrix for your adoring cult, while real artists languish in obscurity and die without ever having had their just due. You are all that girl in the back of the room pouting, while I laugh at your sorry cult behavior and enjoy being the badass I am.
And Link Wray does too.

Mazeltov!

Youa re absolutely pathetic to revolve your beleif around one man who, yes, introduced a prime factor of art today, but how dare you come onto our forum and criticise us for trying to make something of our own work.
I am 15 and the author of The Survival of the Matrix and the End of Big Brother and I must say that the way you thrive in your certainty that we are sad losers who pout really signigfies to me and others your real lack of respect for people on this forum who are not trying to make a quick buck/quid in disrespect of their talents but are here to try and practice their beleif in themselves and do what they do best and write.
So don't come on this forum and criticise what could possibly be the birth place of the next 1984, Great Expectations or Dracula, because when you take a moment to stand back, self-reflect and actually read the array of talents on this forum, you might regret what you have stated and your so-called hero may be ashamed of you criticising others for trying to practice their love of writing. Nad just for the record, you arn't a bad ass, you never were and never will be, you stupid piece of sh**, i wash my hands of you.

In the Name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation. Amen!
Taisou

Maybe she's going through some bad times? You could have used the opportunity to talk to her instead of dissing her because she wasn't into the music as much as you were. She was there, right? So she (or her s.o.) must like Link Wray somewhat. Sheesh.

The whole attacking Matrix forum people stuff I'm ignoring because it's obviously fueled by your self proclaimed drunken state.

That's what your writing needs....ANGER! PASSION! Forget about the Matrix...invent your own premise and write about that. I did that when I was half your age.
