In defense of the stoned. To alter consciousness is to defamiliarize
oneself. Dissociated from habitual ways of thinking, listening, and
reading, the stoned are often rendered vulnerable and open to strange
ideas.
To experience this video or song in an altered state is to experience the flavored meanings of sound and images. The habits of sober
states sometimes white-wash meaning------dismissing strangeness and
creativity.
