Philosphy of the Zen Pimp

I named my music project "Zen Pimps" to honor my father John Henry McIntyre who is known as the Fat Pimp in southern Mississippi. I always regretted that my mother named me after her then husband Solomon McQueen;he also resented the fact that I was named after him that he adopted his second wife's nephew and named him "Solomon Nikita McQueen". My family and real old friends call me Kelsie and in some of my writings and artwork I will sign "John Kelsie McIntyre". Besides, a pimp is a leader, not a follower. Now nothing is wrong with following but if you don't branch off then how will you improve yourself?
So why the Zen? My own philosphy...be confident in yourself and you can achieve whatever you desire to be...be the pimp. I pimp the guitar; I can play music that make women swoon and grown men cry. There were other "guitar pimps out there before me; Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix...people who used the guitar as an extension of their personality. I cannot name half the notes I play but how can you notate emotions, grief and joy. Love and hate. Confidence and uncertainy.
So I will end this post with one of my father's quotes that he said to a young lady about her chosen profession..."If you going to be whore...be the best whore that you can be!! Always present yourself to the consumer with all the finery you can muster. Treat no trick different whether he only wants head or wants to sample all holes. You don't have to say to every john, 'I love you' but say it with your eyes. A look can make a man pop off or go limp so look right into those eyes as if your eyes were x-ray beams that can look into his skull!" So philosphized the Fat Pimp.....
