My Doctrine Oft Comes With A Bassline

// 8th May

So it turns out that gloating over the ignorance of liberals has been cool for a long time. The metaphysicals did it, and the dancefloors do still. And Jay-Z stays mum on the New Perspective.

Man, dreame no more of curious mysteries,
As what was here before the world was made,
The first Mans life, the state of Paradise,
Where heaven is, or hells eternal shade,
  For Gods works are like him, all infinite;
  And curious search, but craftie sinnes delight.

The Flood that did, and dreadful Fire that shall,
Drowne, and burne up the malice of the earth,
The divers tongues, and Babylons downe-fall,
Are nothing to the mans renewed birth;
  First, let the Law plough up thy wicked heart,
  That Christ may come, and all these types depart.

When thou hast swept the house that all is cleare,
When thou the dust hast shaken from thy feete,
When Gods All-might doth in thy flesh appeare,
Then Seas with streames above the skye doe meet;
  For Goodnesse onely doth God comprehend,
  Knowes what was first, and what shall be the end.

–Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke, Sonnet 88, 1633

 

At the starting of the week
At summit talks you’ll hear them speak
It’s only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It’s sword and gun day

Tomorrow never comes until it’s too late

You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It’s only Tuesday
You never thought we’d go to war
After all the things we saw
It’s April Fools’ day

Make tomorrow come I think it’s too late

You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It’s only Thursday
You feel a shaking on the ground
A billion candles burn around
Is it your birthday?

–DJ Shadow, Six Days

 

Please don’t bow in my presence, how am I a legend?
I just got 10 number one albums, maybe now eleven
More hits than a Now! 11
That is no reason to treat me like I’m somehow from outta heaven
Heaven knows that I’ve made my mistakes
Thank God, what a guy, as I say my grace

–Jay-Z, Thank You
