About Joe Hack
I’m a jagged switchblade cutting through the soft underbelly of the popular zeitgeist. I’m crazy-sad for the dreams I’ve lost and determined that I wont get fooled again. I’m cynical and skewed and certain that I’m right. I crave the sunshine but spend too much time in the dark. I’m the little boy who tells you the emperor has no clothes. I’m a profligate squanderer of grace. I search for truth and find only coincidence. Most of all, though, I’m amazed that I can come out with this much bulllshit without laughing. Actually I can’t. Sorry. In fact my friend, and in as much as there is such a thing as a fact, I’m really nothing special at all. Just another damaged human-being fighting like a bitch to keep my footing in a madly spinning and slippery universe. I listen quietly as politicians lie and I watch the media manipulate us all in this Alice-in-Wonderland world.
On any given day it seems like most of the worlds population is clinically insane and I wonder if its me who’s mad or everyone else. I’m saved by small random acts of kindness that surprise me and kalaidoscopic fragments of hope. The smile on the face of a beautiful stranger. Good times. Old friends. Guitars. Serendipity. The crazy old world keeps on turning and before we can change it we have to try to see it as it really is, not how we want it to be or how we’re told it is. Its not easy, but maybe we can do it together ?… Joe Hack
