Blog 11: Sun Ra

I was intrigued by Sun Ra, to say the least. The music, dress, and views shown in the video are out there, not really to my taste even though I enjoyed parts of the music. His claim that he believes he comes from space and the mythology he has created lead me to doubt him, but listening was certainly interesting, if nothing else. I like the opinions he based his out there stories on. While he seems to be a bit insane, he really does care about the people around him, and I think he wants to be able to help them. Meeting him would probably be scary, but I am open to learning more about him.
