Hey
y'all, let's get STINKING RICH!!!
Fast Jimmy's Jam Guidelines
OK, these are the guidelines for the Jam.
They are not rules. Rules are for card games and anal retentive
windbags. I am a windbag, and I take a pill to deal with the anal
retentive part.
- 4/17/2023: Everything I create is Copyrighted and distributed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License where applicable. I don't came to
know exactly what this means or if it's actually legally binding. I
don't know that it's actually ever been tested for the kinds of things
I create. I'm doing this intentionaly to put myself on the leading
edge of this issue. I believe art should be free of money in all ways.
I feel once money is involved in anyway, the freedom to create has
been compromised to some degree. My argument is Based on the Act of
Art and the Nature of Being, namely Intentionality, and Human Being,
namely Being of Life and Love, and the Impertaive of Responsibility
which is its Natural Consequence (capitalization is intentional and
significant). This is the Grounding of what I call Existential
Phenomenalogical Pragmatism. If necessary, I can Root my insistance on
the GNU Genral Public License in Being and Human Being, on through the
Imperative of Responsibility. My experience is for the most people,
this is not a very pleasant experience. But if you insist, I'm willing
to walk you through it.
- The art is free, we just ask that you put something in the tip
bucket to help pay expenses, and as appreciation for the role the
artist plays in society. I call this Tip Bucket Blues. Actually, being
brain damaged with a degree in Philosophy, I've spun Tip Bucket Blues
into a Philosophy of Life, one of the components being the Tip Bucket
Blues Benefit. My first Tip Bucket Blues Benefit was for Raful Neal,
father of Kenny Neal. Yes, there is a story, but that's for elsewhere.
So is the definition of the Tip Bucket Blues Philosophy of Life. At
this point, I'll just say you could say the Buddhist Monks begging
bowl is a form of a Tip Bucket... hence Buddhism is in a way a Tip
Bucket Blues Philosophy of Life. Now, I'm not saying I'm a Buddhist,
but I did write a song titled Buddha Belly... ya, I have a bone to
pick with the Buddha... but I believe the Dalia Lama is right on when
he says, "always Practice Kindness, especially with ourselves." Now
that's a popping sound bringing luck all around town... :)
- Jams are always all ages/all skill levels, run by a first come/first
sever sign up sheet, no exceptions. If Elvis walked in with Jimi
Hendrix, Lemmy, and Ginger Baker (c'mon, he might as well be dead,
right?), and said this is my new band, mind if we get up on stage
immediately, were short on time, I'd say, "the sign up sheet is over
there, just put your names at the bottom." Ya, I know, that's complete
B.S., but my one man act is called Fast Jimmy and the B.S. Express,
would do you expect? ... :)
That about sums it up. I mean, they're
guidelines, how many do you need. 3 is one of my favorite numbers, maybe
my favoritedest... not a word, but it's a Fast Jimmy's Jam, Y'all, We Be
Jammin'... Everybody Jams at a Fast Jimmy's Jam... who cares about
spelling at a time like this... :)
