I, As A Young Guy Getting Out

What You Hear Depends On How You Focus Your Ear. We're Not Talking About Inventing A New Language, But Rather Inventing New Perceptions Of Existing Languages.

The Problem With Listening, Of Course, Is That We Don't. There's Too Much Noise Going On In Our Heads, So We Never Hear Anything. The Inner Conversation Simply Never Stops. It Can Be Our Voice Or Whatever Voices We Want To Supply, But It's A Constant Racket. In The Same Way We Don't See, And In The Same Way We Don't Feel, We Don't Touch, We Don't Taste.

There's Almost No Content In Terms Of Language At All. I Don't Like Using Language To Convey Meaning. I'd Rather Use Images And Music.

So The Real Drama For Me Is Balancing Live Performances And Writing, And One Of The Ways I Balance It Is I Write In Hotel Rooms. That's Not Exactly Balancing. Actually, Writing In Hotel Rooms Means That I'm Refusing To Deal With The Problem.

You Practice And You Get Better. It's Very Simple.
