A serious question, prompted by a beautiful graphic in the Febrary, 2006, issue, of the Canadian magazine “The Walrus.”
What would Sun Ra do? Post your answers, if you have any, in the comments sections below.
Update: A mystified reader sends email asking who Sun Ra was. Link
ummmm…just so you know, the question you pose here is: “What would Sun Ran do?” since I only know of Sun RA, not Sun RAN, guess I can’t give you an answer! :)
Now corrected, so now you have to answer! — Dan
fine, fine, put me on the spot!
ok, so I don’t really know much about Sun Ra, except for
what I learned from my big brother, but I do remember once
that we found one of his records in a used record store: no
album cover, just a paper sleeve, and the sleeve had been
hand-decorated in crayon by Sun Ra himself (why didn’t we buy
that, by the way?).
so, the guy made great music, and he took the time to hand-
decorate some albums. the message i’m taking away is: be
creative, be yourself, don’t be afraid to make an impact on
a small scale.
