My Dad Was This Sort Of Avant-garde Guy Who Did All Kinds Of Weird Things. He Was A True Original And Anybody Who Met Him Never Forgot Him.

It's So Hard To Do Anything That Doesn't Owe Some Kind Of Debt To What Stanley Kubrick Did With Music In Movies. Inevitably, You're Going To End Up Doing Something That He's Probably Already Done Before. It Always Seem Like We're Falling Behind Whatever He Came Up With.
