Metacognition

Papa Bluey is a pioneering hula hoop practitioner who has worked tirelessly for decades to transmute his discipline from a club drug-tarnished province of Middle America's working class to a high art finding its place on the tongues of the East Coast intelligentsia and the West Coast billionaire technocracy. In our effort to contextualize the man in a sociocultural, psychoeconomic metaphysic, we sent our very own Jabron E. to interview Bluey in his native town of Indianapolis, the hearth of hula hooping culture as such. In their lengthy discussion, Bluey walks Jabron through topics ranging from the circus-to-competitive-hula-hoop pipeline, celebrity's role in culinary entrepreneurship, the digital body art phenomenon, and the QR code fashion revolution. Papa Bluey was beyond generous with his time and creative energy, and he has conferred upon us the singular honor of previewing the soundtrack to the solo routine he is set to debut Krakow this coming May.
