RePost - Quintessential (Why Lou Reed should have listened to Bob Quine more)
"Someday Quine will be recognized for the pivotal figure that he is on his instrument, he is the first guitarist to take the breakthroughs of early Lou Reed and James Williamson and work through them to a new, individual vocabulary, driven into odd places by obsessive attention to 'On The Corner' era Miles Davis." (Lester Bangs)

(In a recent Invisible Jukebox that Lou Reed did for The Wire, he was played Miles' 'He Loved Him Madly' and professed to not knowing it but agreeing that it sounded very similar to his Metal Machine Trio. Should have listened to Quine...)

So...what?
So what if the new proletarian position is that of the inhabitants of slums in the new megalopolises? The explosive growth of slums in the last decades, especially in the Third World megalopolises from Mexico City and other Latin American capitals through Africa (Lagos, Chad) to India, China, Philippines and Indonesia, is perhaps the crucial geopolitical event of our times. It is effectively surprising how many features of slum dwellers fit the good old Marxist determination of the proletarian revolutionary subject: they are "free" in the double meaning of the word even more than the classic proletariat ("freed" from all substantial ties; dwelling in a free space, outside the police regulations of the state); they are a large collective, forcibly thrown together, "thrown" into a situation where they have to invent some mode of being-together, and simultaneously deprived of any support in traditional ways of life, in inherited religious or ethnic life-forms.
While today's society is often characterized as the society of total control, slums are the territories within a state boundaries from which the state (partially, at least) withdrew its control, territories which function as white spots, blanks, in the official map of a state territory. Although they are de facto included into a state by the links of black economy, organized crime, religious groups, etc., the state control is nonetheless suspended there, they are domains outside the rule of law.

WTF???
A US sailor has been cleared of rape in a Sydney brothel...
Pety Officer Timothy Davies denied forcing himself on the woman, saying that he had only wanted his money back.
Pety Officer Timothy Davies denied forcing himself on the woman, saying that he had only wanted his money back.
The 25 year old had admitted that he used a 'lock down manoeuvre' on the woman.
The woman told the court that she had protected consensual sex with the 'customer' who had been told the house rules that a condom must be worn 'at all times'.
He became aggressive when she offered alternative services after the sailor, who had been drinking, could not complete the sex act before his half hour was up. She said he ripped his condom off., telling her that he paid for sex and he was going to finish it 'like a real man'.
The woman said that he pushed her head into the pillow, started suffocating her and had unprotected sex for 30 seconds.
The jury was shown police photos depicting scratches on the woman, who described Mr Davis as an 'animal during an angry outburst at the trial.
The sailor admitted using a 'lock down manoeuvre' to pin the woman to the bed when she said that she wanted to stop.
