Chance Meeting
Friday September 4th, 2020 with Heavy Ben
Truth, a metaphor and 90s rock

Chance meeting on an illusion of truth and 90s rock What, then, is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms—in short, a sum of human relations which have been enhanced, transposed, and embellished poetically and rhetorically, and which after long use seem firm, canonical, and obligatory to a people: truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that this is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins. - Friedrich Nietzsche, On Truth And Lie in the Extra-Moral Sense

Good afternoon. Last long weekend of the summer... some throwback tunes today that still sound fresh to these ears.
