A Little Touch Of Chaos And Danger

We Do Express Our Emotions, Our Reactions To Events, Breakups And Infatuations, But The Way We Do That - The Art Of It - Is In Putting Them Into Prescribed Forms Or Squeezing Them Into New Forms That Perfectly Fit Some Emerging Context. That’s Part Of The Creative Process, And We Do It Instinctively; We Internalize It, Like Birds Do. And It’s A Joy To Sing, Like The Birds Do.

I Try To Devote My Afternoons To Making Music In My Home Studio, But It's A Lot More Fun Hanging Out With Musicians And Friends, And Trying Subtly To Influence A Band Than Making Your Own Stuff.

Something About Music Urges Us To Engage With Its Larger Context, Beyond The Piece Of Plastic It Came On-it Seems To Be Part Of Our Genetic Makeup That We Can Be So Deeply Moved By This Art Form. Music Resonates In So Many Parts Of The Brain That We Can't Conceive Of It Being An Isolated Thing.

Yeah, It's Pretty Hard Not To Be Completely Cynical These Days.

I Don't Believe That Crime, Danger And Poverty Make For Good Art. That's Bullshit.
