Yehuda Negligible Issues
John Royce Holtz
Yehuda Negligible Issues utilizes a QUANTIZER for that vacillating high and low, warm robotic flanging pitch. Slow ascension into quite workable chaos engulfment….Popping/rocking/blues at its finest….By the end, the listener is solemn in a good way— What a pleasant wake up call to begin living life to its fullest for our temporal easement as planet dwellers….
”Yehuda” in the Old Testament is the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. Yehuda is the forefather of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, with a possible descendant link to Jesus.
Yehuda is my father’s Hebrew name. While my father and I were often separated by his perpetual wrath and upheaval, kind of like a certain Presidential candidate, it was this very wrath for which he sacrificed himself, his Holy Spirit, and a great deal of his resultant happiness. He had a character that otherwise could hardly be contained by an irrefutable spirit. Nonetheless, his spirit was compromised by his inability to control himself around his family, ancestors and descendants—the former, not his fault.
The soothingly, warm, robotic quantizer tries to coax out his purer, robotic side (“Yehuda!”) while simultaneously teases him about his recurrent, almost robotic lapses into fallibility (“John, you f-ing dumbass!” 10x daily) The flanging “Yehuda” is also a post-humous call to act more appropriately. It is the opening of a promising discussion of forgiveness and rarely preceding, Outspoken love. Perhaps a pledge to do things a bit differently—with far more positivity— the second time around…He may have not realized it, but he was “hip” and industrious enough.
And, his wrath encourage me to dole it out to others, incrementally, on the sometimes fictitious tennis—not Pickleball court—not putting green…I wish that Dad’s wrath did not pre-dispose me to, in turn, be cruel to my brother until he was about 10-years-old because I abjectly feared, without evidence, my bro’s rejection without cause. I love you brother and I want to make it up to you, even if I should hold your hand as an adult to help you get past whatever challenges you may face.
