learn to forget (learn to forget)

'we also have to learn to forget music otherwise we become addicted to the past.' - keith jarrett on the anniversary of the 1975 koln concert

here we have the doors advising us to learn to forget from their soul kitchen. 

"which of the following issues has, over the past decade, most changed the way you look at your future?"

well covid. but people are committed to forgetting that as fast as possible. 

horsemouth thinks global warming will do more to change the planet than anything since industrialisation. 

but what it won't do is destroy capitalism (or it might but the thing that will replace it will be even worse - but he digresses). 

covid ended horsemouth's dayjob. but frankly the job was just an alibi. he was drifting, passing time while making music (and now he's on to the next thing).

the pity of it is that the music making ended (broadly in 2020) just when horsemouth got more free time. horsemouth has played gigs since the release of musicians of bremen volume four but he has not recorded anything (that has come out) or built up any momentum. he has tried a variety of side projects (but they are all on the back burner now). 

musicians of bremen (howard) has recorded and released material on bandcamp (but then rescinded it subsequently). 

last night a meeting of the communal endeavour. it went well horsemouth thought (the last one was a thorough going disaster - horsemouth was out of sorts and, at one point, lost his temper).
