That Undercurrent Of The Forbidden Was Always

Lately I've Been Believing That Music Predates Speech.

I Get Myself A Gig Somewhere, Whether It's In A Club, Whether It's In A Bar, It Doesn't Matter, And I Just Work On New Year's Eve Because I Always Feel It's Very Symbolic For Me For The Next Year, For The New Year.

There Are All These Different Areas Of Specialization. That's It. You Have To Be A Specialist Nowadays. There's No Other Way. I Was An Artist For A Long Time, But I Was Always Into Being A General Practitioner. I Did A Little Of This And A Little Of That. And Nothing Got Me Anywhere. You Have To Specialize. If You Don't Specialize, It Takes You Until You're About Fifty Years Old Before Anybody Notices That You're Doing Anything At All.

I Really Am Enjoying Writing More Than Ever. I Feel Like I'm So Much More Focused Than I Was In The Early Times.

I'm Interested In Buddhism. Of All The Organized Religions, That To Me Is The Only One That Makes Even Vague Sense. I Just Don't Have The Discipline For That Kind Of Practice.
