Saul Williams... Purple Pigeons

CellarDoor 2004-03-28 20:16:01 ET "One time I was chilling with some Rastas in Belize, South America and these guys had run out of rolling papers and so one just pulled out his Bible and started reading the first chapter of Genesis... like the first page of the Bible front and back and we was all just quiet and listening. And when he was done he ripped the page straight out of the Bible and rolled the fattest spliff I ever saw... straight up... you know. But that's when it struck me... in the beginning was the word. You know what I'm saying? And God said 'Let there be' and then there was. You know... Said It! And that's the power of creation. That's the power of MC-in'... you call things into existence." -Saul Williams One very gifted man.

CellarDoor 2004-03-29 13:34:23 ET ...Wow is right. Pretty intense stuff.

Neko2631 2004-03-30 14:42:25 ET Well it's impressive because I...wait, maybe I'm mistaken. Oo You're a Christian, correct? Well...either way, it's because it sort of slaps you in the face, because here's something that I'd expect people to get very up in arms about - someone ripping the bible up and using it to smoke drugs. But the man who's smoking is, at least in this, so obviously wise. I LOVE it. ^^

CellarDoor 2004-03-30 19:09:22 ET Oh yeah... like I heard it and I didn't even think about it in an angry Christian-state like that... I just saw the wisdom. I don't the physicality of the bible is as important as the heart of the reader. I just like the fact that the guy, Saul Williams, is the son of a preacher and a bunch of his Slam Poetry/Raps have so many religious references... he's amazing.

Neko2631 2004-03-30 21:11:31 ET I heard it and I didn't even think about it in an angry Christian-state like that... I just saw the wisdom. That's because you're smart. ^_~ One of the many reasons I love and adore you so. ^^
