Shocker - Nick drake had friends

I read an article about Nick Drake a year ago––at his funeral, many of London's most creative artists were surprised to learn that they were mutual acquaintances of the elusive bard. Tangentially linked lives and friendships. He kept his circles separate, purposefully. Because he fed on different vibes and situations. To him life was an individual exploration, not a social game. Unfortunately, he was also dreamily suicidal.* 

For those more regulated, who can still appreciate the late poet's gift, there is the reassurance that this is not a bad way to live. Each of our friends, in person and online, provides us with some distinct tangent that cannot be compared. Each one is deserving of attention (or inattention, at times) and is part of our mindful meanderings. 

To know that we are reaching those we choose to reach. With words alone, if necessary. How very Emersonian.

In tomorrow's post, I'll go all technical on you: brief conversation with green MIIS economist Jason Scorse (author of Sufonomics 101) on the new $15-an-hour California minimum wage. It will center on my experience as an IT-contracted writer (the dreaded Independent Contractor)––labeled by Forbes as a 'contingent' worker in the May, 2015, article Shocker: 40% of Workers Now Have 'Contingent' Jobs, Says U.S. Government.

* Distinct shades of Radiohead's Subterranean Homesick Alien, which itself is homage to Dylan big hair/pawking meter era greatness. Which inevitably leads to INXS' Meditate (wait for the sax solo)... nevermind.
