And when you're cool, you're posturing.
So I was always trying to figure out what cool was because as we spoke about earlier, my mom skipped me too many grades.
I got my high school diploma in the mail because I graduated as a junior.
And, you know, the attempt to be cool –
or even cool, was never going to pay off if you're younger than everybody else.
But what Lester was saying was exactly that.
When you're posturing, you're never there.
And he said that they had done that to music.
They had made music a lifestyle posture, not the thing that's ripped from the soul of everyone from Van Morrison to the guys who made Louie Louie.
That's real.
And everything else is just cool.
And I thought, wow, so many of the musicians and the writers and the people that I came to love were not cool.
They couldn't even be cool.
It was like a lost pursuit.
But they found each other through music.
They found each other through this thing that gave you that feeling of being understood.
So...
I called the book The Uncool because it was the badge of honor that Lester put on me.
You know, don't try and do it.
Be whatever is real to you, and that might be cool.
