moods 160

in 160 I think Hoffmann is using a couple different analogies here to convey a message about blues music and what he feels about it. He relates the order of a supermarket and how systematically they are packed to the genre of blues and how blues music doesn't look at things rationally and when people make them they get angry like Telemann. I think he is trying to say that he or they dont see the supermarket systematically and organized but rather see soup mix as stardust or cereal as snowflakes, just like blues music is not ordered or organized and doesn't have rights or wrongs. I'm not sure i understand this correctly but I think a lot of his sections are open to interpretation because clearly everyone is not going to understand what he means when he speaks so  randomly and abruptly but I'm sure he has a specific meaning to each section. I analyzed and understood it to the best of my abilities but he ends the section with "whoever understands these things can join the secret order whose members send one another signs by moving their pinkies ever so slightly." So I don't know what he was trying to get across exactly but from what I gathered he wanted to give his opinion on blues music in a different and random ish way.
