It's great to have another ac.uk on the list, and great to have another
Dave. (The best thing about this proliferation of Davids is that it leads
to outrageous pseudonyms, just to keep track).
I like what you say about some dynamic course, teaching not from a book but
in discussion. The best teachers do that anyway don't they? I suppose it
depends a little on the subject matter?
Maybe you want to expand a bit on the Hendrix point? What were the dangers
and what were the dynamic elements in his life? Were they the same? I
guess you could say that it was a variety of fairly static patterns of
substance abuse in the music industry that killed him, not the dynamic
music. But it's an interesting question. Do people like Janis Joplin die
because they are dynamic, or because there is some conflict and turmoil
between the static and the dynamic? That's maybe a theme of Lila - how an
accomodation might be reached between the dynamic and the static in our
lives. Maybe?
