Ballacks to the Latta Ye

" So I want to start with a story from the Old Testament. 

There’s a scene in the Old Testament when the ancient Hebrews are moving the Ark of the Covenant. 

The Ark of the Covenant was a device that was manufactured in order to contain 

The Word of God. 

OR
"A Radio for Talking to God"

(if you're into that)

LIKE STAR WARS

And there was a rule among the ancient Hebrews which was :


“You are not to touch the Ark of the Covenant. 

No matter what.” 

LIKE STAR WARS

And there’s a story in the Old Testament where the bearers of the Ark of the Covenant (they used to carry it), the bearers of the Ark of the Covenant trip and a man reaches out to steady it and when he touches it, 

** SMITE !! **

God strikes him DEAD. 

And modern people look at a story like that and the first thing they think is  :

“That seems a little bit harsh on the part of God, given that the man was attempting to do something that he believed was good.”

Don't Judge GOD !!!!

 But what the story was designed to indicate, in my opinion, is that  

There are certain things that 
you touch at your peril,  
regardless of your intentions. 

LIKE STAR WARS

And those things that you touch at your peril, regardless of your intentions, most cultures regard as sacred, as untouchable.

I want to make a case for you today that those things exist and also why they exist and why it’s necessary for you to know that they exist. 

I would also say that if you’re educated  educated in a university, especially with regards to The Humanities 
(which are in some conceptual trouble at the moment), 
what essentially happens to you is that you are introduced in a relatively secular way to the concept of the sacred. 

You are here, in The University, to learn about 

The Eternal Values of Humankind.  

And I think that people who tell you that  those values  

Do Not Exist 

or that 

They’re Endlessly Debatable, 

do you an unbelievable disservice. "

Play "Mother"

on Apple Music

"Mother"

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?

Mother, do you think they'll like this song?

Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?

Ooh, aah, mother, should I build the wall?

Mother, should I run for president?

Mother, should I trust the government?

Mother, will they put me in the firing line?

Ooh, aah, is it just a waste of time?

Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true

Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you

Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing

She won't let you fly but she might let you sing

Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm

Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe

Of course mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother, do you think she's good enough for me?

Mother, do you think she's dangerous to me?

Mother, will she tear your little boy apart?

Ooh, aah, mother, will she break my heart?

Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you

Mama won't let anyone dirty get through

Mama's gonna wait up 'til you get in

Mama will always find out where you've been

Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

Ooh, babe, ooh, babe, ooh, babe

You'll always be a baby to me

Mother, did it need to be high..?

Writer(s): Roger Waters

Roger Waters said in an interview for Mojo magazine about this song, "The idea that we can be controlled by our parents' views on things like sex. The single mother of boys, particularly, can make sex harder than it needs to be."

This song tells a story about how Pink, the main character of the album, was raised by an overprotective single mother. His mother is helping Pink build his wall in order to protect him from the outside world.

This song was re-recorded almost completely for the film because there was a subplot in the film when Pink got fever.

Advice

Be careful whose advice you buy, 
but be patient with those who supply it

                                

Advice is a form of nostalgia

dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, 
wiping it off

painting over the ugly parts  
and recycling it for more than it's worth

Eddie Murphey
Raw (1983)

Do you watch the Bill Cosby Show?

Yeah!

I do too.

I love Bill Cosby's show.

I been a big fan of Bill Cosby all my life.

Never met the man before, 
but he called me up about a year ago 
and chastised me on the phone for being too dirty on-stage.

It was real weird, because I had never met him

and he just thought it was... 
He should call me up, 
because he was Bill, 
and tell me that he did...

About what comedy is all about.

And I sat and listened

to this man chastise me.

And when Bill Cosby chastises you,

you forget you grown.

You feel like one of

the Cosby kids and shit.

And I ran in the house

all excited to talk to Bill

and picked up the telephone

and Bill got raw on me.

I was like, 
"Hello, Mr. Cosby?"

And you hear:

"I would like to talk to you...

...about some of the things

that you do in your show.

"Now, I'm going to tell you a story."

He always tells you stories.

"I would like to tell you a story.

I have five children.

"One, two, three, four, five.

Five... Five children.

"I live in Massachusetts with my wife,

Camille, and my five children.

"Now, of the five children that we have,

there are four girls and a boy.

"The boy's name is Ennis.

He loves everything you do.

"Comes home from school the other day

with a big smile on his face.

And my son looks just like me.

"He walks through the door,

looking at me with this big smile,

"and I cannot resist, because

it's such a beautiful smile.

"And he walks up and I say,

'What are you smiling about? '

"And the child says to me:

'I'm smiling because I need money

to go see the Eddie Murphy show.

'Please give me money for a ticket.'

"Now, if the child is smiling this way

because he needs money for a ticket,

"I have to give him money

for a ticket.

"I do not handle the money

in the house.

"My wife, Camille,

handles the ticket money.

"So I must go into the kitchen,

"to where my wife is cooking dinner

for the family.

"And she is inside

the kitchen cooking.

"And she's got a bowl.

"And she's cooking up the food, man.

She's cooking it up.

"And the child walks in the room

with the smile

"and he says,

'Mother, please, money.'

"She gives him the money,

he runs off to see your show.

"Now, we sit in the living room

waiting for Ennis to return.

"At about : in the morning,

the child comes through the door.

"He has a different look on his face.

"A look like he heard something at your

show that he's never heard before.

"And I say to my child,

I say, 'Child... '

"I say, 'What did the man say

on the stage? '

"And he says, 'Pop, the man

comes out and says these things.'

"I say, 'Well, what did he say? '

'Pop, he comes out

and says some stuff.'

"I say, 'What did he do? '

'Pop, he walks out and he goes:

"Hello, suck this, and MF

and kiss my big black stuff.

"And suck it and stick it down

in your mouth and suck it, suck it."'

"You cannot say filth, flarn, filth,

flarn, filth in front of people."

And I say, "I never said

no 'filth, flarn, filth'."

"You know what I'm talking about.

"I can't use the type of language

that you use,

"but you know what I mean when

I say 'filth, flarn, flarn, flarn, filth'."

I say, "I never said 'filth, flarn, filth'.

"I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm offended you called. Fuck you."

That's when Bill got pissed and said:

"That's what I'm talking about.

You cannot say 'fuck'...

"...in front of people."

And I got mad.

Because he thought

that was my whole act.

Like I just walked out on-stage

and cursed and left.

I manage to stick in some

jokes between the curses.

You couldn't give no curse show.

Walk out, say, "Hey, Felt Forum,

"motherfucker, dick, pussy,

snot and shit. Good night.

"Good night. Suck my dick.

Bye-bye."

I was pissed off. I was so mad

I called Richard Pryor's house up.

I said, "Yo, Richard,

Bill Cosby just called me up

"and told me I was too dirty."

Richard said:

"The next time motherfucker call,

tell him I said, 'Suck my dick.'

"I don't give a fuck.

"Whatever the fuck make

the people laugh, say that shit."

He said, 

"Do people laugh when you say what you say?"

I said, "Yes."

"Do you get paid?" 
I said, "Yes."

He said, 
"Well, tell Bill I said:

'Have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.'

"The Jell-O pudding-eating

motherfucker."
