Cities Are Made For Enemies To Destroy.

I Do An Opening In 'the Glory Of The World' Play At Bam, And Then I Go Up To The High Balcony In The Back And Watch The Bulk Of The Play, But Then I Have To Leave My Seat About Seven To 10 Minutes Before The End Of That Final Big Scene...and It's A Bummer.

I Was Worried Before I Saw The Play 'the Seven Storey Mountain', Thinking I Don't Really Want To See A Play About Thomas Merton. He Probably Wouldn't Have Either, Ideally. Then It Isn't. It's More About Us And It's About Our Relationship To What He May Or May Not Have Thought About. It's Its Own Thing Completely.

The Sense Of Waking Up In The Morning And Knowing That There Is Music Ahead Of Me In The Day Is Such An Incredible Feeling. The More I Engage With Music The More Days I Wake Up And Know That That's What's Going To Be There, And The Things That Come With Music.

For Me, Promotional Thing About Some New Album Coming Out Destroys A Lot Of The Excitement Of Making Records. Records, Movies, Books - They're Not Supposed To Be Like Math Books. The Purpose Of Them Is To Kind Of Take Us Out Of Ourselves And Give Us Some Sort Of Alternate Experience Or Respite. To Try To Maximize The Relationship Of Listening To A Record Through Promotion Is Like Experiencing Driving A Car By Reading About Stimulus Programs. It Kind Of Defeats The Purpose.

Too Much Emphasis Is Put On American Roots Music When People Try And Place Me. You Know, I Grew Up Listening To Punk.
