Poems & Whiskey

Michael Chilcutt

Poems & Whiskey is the project of Michael C. It"s a weird and rambly talk show that"s usually pretty funny. Enough that the Spotify powers that be labeled this show "comedy". Now whether that means I"m funny or that I"m a joke, well...In this thing, I talk to all sorts of creative types across all levels of skill and exposure. We sit and chat about what the hell we think we"re doing and have drink (or two).Pull up a chair and join us, friend.Cheers y"all!Updates every other Wednesday or so

I don't really like traditional summaries, clearly. lol Coming to the close of s3 is something alright. Joaquin Fernandez and I do the art talk, as per. We've got; art as expression of free will, play as an intentional practice, ease not equating legitimacy, and of course, the death of happily ever after. You know, for fun! So it goes!We are remade when we create and again in witness, doors opening, and opening into endless rooms.Cheers y'all!Joaquin's LinksFrom Joaquin:In May of 2018, my friend

To be witnessed, revealed, if even only to ourselves is why we're all muddling around in this mess. Art is to be seen, for the circuit to complete it requires engagement. Including laughter.

Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.*Episode contains themes of gun violence,*THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213 th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States

Back on the Ground

To define self, one must first be able to have the breathing room to distinguish the forest from the trees. As the spaces around letters tell us how to read them and the negative space around art gives us context for an image, so can creation gifts us opportunity for expansion and clarity. Elisheva and I turn over every card in the deck and then make up a few of our own in the damn near 3 HOUR conversation and I wouldn't trade a damn second.Anger that we're all feeling right now is a sacred thing

Welcome back to Poems & Whiskey, babies! Didja miss me? I missed you. It's good to be back. Kissing you all! (Appropriately, of course.) Charles K. Carter and I get rolling fast.Breaking down boundaries is the name of game. Why do we insist on separating our heads from our bodies? The mind is not better than our animal selves and doesn't know more. We are consistently being told who we are, what we should be doing, and whom we should be doing it for. Fuck that.
