Hold it! Hold it! BUNK: Hey, put that down! DON: Silence, you fools! Don't you believe in progress? BUNK: Take that progress and stick it under a rock! He have to! DON: We must overthrow the diatonic system |
||

|
||
| Don Preston's comment [I think it was Don?] about "overthrowing" the diatonic system means that he wants his music to jump beyond the 19th century ideal of preserving key relationships... | ||
| Starting with the Viennese Three [Schoenberg, Webern and Berg] -- the diatonic system is indeed OVERTHROWN!!! Serial -- or 12-tone -- music is dependent only on a certain type of repetition of ALL 12 notes in the CHROMATIC scale! This revolution in music literally OVERTHREW the old diatonic system! | ||

| There is a plenty of this aura that stinks in 200 Motels movie dialogs. It also funny re-surfaced later in a Dinah-Moe-Hummm variation of the basic theme | ||

DON: It's got to be new, it's got to progress, it's got to evolve. There must be growth! : Oh, man... my goodness DON: You've got to eat macrobiotic food... |
||
|
|
||
| "Macrobiotics is a modern holistic system of nutrition and exercise rooted in the ancient Chinese food science called Food Energetics. Macrobiotic practice is a practical system based upon daily cooking of health meals, energetic exercise, self-massage and restful meditation. Macrobiotics is a lifelong practice of food and its influence on human physical health, spritual and emotional well-being." | ||

| "At 8:00 in the evening there is a break for dinner. The canteen is filled with bizarre Fellini-like scenes. An enormous strong man dressed like Ali Baba is devouring his dinner next to a motley group of Stones. John [Lennon] asking if they serve macrobiotic food in the restaurant, and inebriated barmaid telling Moon he's had enough." | ||
| So it was very trendy to went macrobiotic (and doing yoga exercises) right in the year of MOI '68 London concert. Good. Anyway, now we know at least that it doesn't suppose to go along well with Burnt Weenie Sandwiches! So fuck it:-)) | ||
