When Everything Is Visible And Appears To

We Are Like The Birds. We Adapt. We Sing.

A Lot Of Cities Are Making A Real Effort, Neighborhood By Neighborhood, To Make Themselves Into A Place Where Life Can Be Pretty Good.

It Seemed [there Are] Musical Nodes On The Planet Where Cultures Meet And Mix, Sometimes As A Result Of Unfortunate Circumstances, Like Slavery Or Something Else, In Places Like New Orleans And Havana And Brazil. And Those Are Places Where The European Culture And Indigenous Culture And African Culture All Met And Lived Together, And Some New Kind Of Culture And Especially Music Came Out Of That.

Some Things, I Feel Like No, I Never Could Have The Depth Of Experience Of Their Own Music And Culture - But Sometimes If I'm Collaborating With Somebody, They're Interested In Me Bringing My Own Stuff Into Their Thing, And Sometimes That Works.

This Ain't No Party, This Ain't No Disco, This Ain't No Fooling Around.
