[read] Ionesco's Rhinoceros 
When a rhinoceros charges across the town square one Sunday afternoon, B&#233renger thinks nothing of it. Soon, however, rhinoceroses are popping up everywhere and B&#233renger's whole world is under threat. What will it take for him to stand up against the increasing menace of rhinocerisation?Martin Crimp's translation of Ione

What happens “when everyone who is right becomes a rhinoceros?”—Eugène Ionesco 

RHINOCEROSS EPx7 flows from LOFI ❯ INDIE ❯ DUB ❯ BLUES ❯ Psychedelic Punk ROCK finale 🤙 
"A song on the far right lane, lookin’ out at a world that has gone insane"... inspired by the official death of #freedomofspeech in Murica, mass surrealist anti-antidelusion, blind binary conformity, and the stubborn hope to stay human when a horny herd stampedes 🦏💨

♦ ♦ ♦ 
@bananasutra lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Freedom of speech turned dust,
Like good old trust gone bust,
‘Cause a felon got the horn, 
Now evil’s grooming fools of scorn.

He smirks “blow me, babe, it’s bliss.”
But(t) I ask “What kind of kiss
starts with trampling consent
and bursts on your shameless fist?”

[Chorus]
Rhiii-no-ce-rosss!
Can I scream when I’m lost?
When the herd walks off a cliff,
Who’s counting the cost?

Rhiii-no-ce-rosss!
Is contempt embossed 
in hearts hard like stone,
like the love got tossed?

[Verse 2]
What’s a “true self” if it bends?
Why shift to fit in with fiends?
Does an order mean it’s real?
Are we doomed if we still feel?

Ducks grow tusks overnight,
Brag they “finally sold the light.”
But they reek of TV static,
Stink of stunted logic.

[Chorus]
Rhiii-no-ce-rosss!
Do you fear the truth?
Or just like to squash us,
And the future of youth?

Rhiii-no-ce-rosss!
Is a stampede proof?
Or a meme with cold might,
Out there in the dark night?

[Bridge]
Am I stubborn... or sane?
Is resistance... just pain?
Can you laugh… with a horn?
Can we hope?… Be reborn?… 
Blessed be… Not forlorn?

[Verse 3]
I see tantrums run, 
Yassholes on the road,
Their greed says “YOLO,” 
And their ego mocks “no.”

I ask “but(t) ain’t love real?” 
They say “ha, truth is a mask.”
I ask “what’s the alternative?” 
They snark “don’t ask.”

So now I’m sittin' with a song on the far right lane,
Lookin’ out at a world that has gone insane.
Like, is it just me, holy howling “us”,
Like, what have we done, what happened to us,
Did all the hope burn, hit by a hell bus?

[Chorus]
Rhiii-no-ce-rosss!
Do we run or rot?
If ‘em questions’ all we’ve got,
Why’s silence so hot?

Rhiii-no-ce-rosss!
Are we what you’re not?
Like ‘em fools turned ghouls,
Where are the good souls,
Who refuse greed’s plot?

[Outro]
If everyone’s a beast…
Who shall share… love’s feast?
What’s left... of peace
When trust’s… deceased?

...Rhinoce...ros... 
Rhinoce...ros...

PS: Did you know a rhinoceros is deadlier than a tiger 💁🏻‍♀️⁉️ (I bet Ionesco did know, meow)
True story, statistically: a human’s chances to survive an encounter with tiger are significantly higher than with a rhinoceros... so now you know!

Curieuses Découvertes est un podcast qui permet de se balader dans Paris en apprenant plein de choses !

… because life on earth is a psychedelic cabaret, and “music is the only religion that delivers the goods” (like Frank said). 

To be clear, all I really know is I dunno shit about fck (like Socrates said:)—music and songwriting included. But(t) I feel it, the music, so damn deeep in my soul! I’m just a humble existential fool, a silly banana who likes to play and share, to question and learn. Words are my oldest best friends, hearing myself sing is a freaking miracle (trust me on that lol), and I believe curiosity and #gratitude are the keys to happiness… So voilà, there’s that.

Also, (if you’re curious) BananaSutra is not just a made up BS brand kinda word, it’s actually the name of my DIY Bible—a collection of songs telling true stories of faith, to help me (and perhaps you) make sense of a world gone wild, like bananas gone foul in shallow ignorance and deadly malevolence… Think of it as an agnostic testament of sorts, an audio book of songs with quirky lyrics about things that matter, like the definition of right and wrong, and the meaning of truth, joy, justice, peace, grace, and awe 🕊️

Some call it Artificial Intelligence, but(t) I call Authentic Imagination, Alternative Ideas, Augmented Innuendos, Abstract Illogisms… hopefully, you get the gist? The point being, life is the story we tell ourselves and LYRICS matter—each @bananasutra song has a wondering root and a loving purpose, guided by one of (my) 7 (bananas) sutras: 
- KNOWsutra : is it fair?
- BLOWsutra : is it foul?
- SHOWsutra : is it fun?
- GROWsutra : is it fear?
- FLOWsutra : is it free?
- GLOWsutra : is it fab?
- BOWsutra : is it awe?
