What would Sun Ra do?

A serious question, prompted by a beautiful graphic in the Febrary, 2006, issue, of the Canadian magazine “The Walrus.”

    ummmm…just so you know, the question you pose here is: “What would Sun Ran do?” since I only know of Sun RA, not Sun RAN, guess I can’t give you an answer! :)

    Now corrected, so now you have to answer! — Dan

    fine, fine, put me on the spot!
    ok, so I don’t really know much about Sun Ra, except for
    what I learned from my big brother, but I do remember once
    that we found one of his records in a used record store: no
    album cover, just a paper sleeve, and the sleeve had been
    hand-decorated in crayon by Sun Ra himself (why didn’t we buy
    that, by the way?).
    so, the guy made great music, and he took the time to hand-
    decorate some albums. the message i’m taking away is: be
    creative, be yourself, don’t be afraid to make an impact on
    a small scale.
