Mayer Hawthorne & The Country - Just Ain't Gonna Work Out
pressed in 2008
How gauche to play oneself in one's life. Only an immense buffoon or ego would attempt to do so. But, to play another, to mimic, to become, however impotent that might be, is truly the great art.
This is because the thing mimic'd must be more REAL than the actual real object itself. It must be INXS, excessive, in excess of the actual object. In other words, when becoming you must seep into metaphysics. It is this act of seepage that prevents the mimicry from effecting anything other than fascination and perhaps a certain joy.
