All I've Got To Do Today Is

When I Began Making My Own Albums, The Songs Became Funkier. They Were More About The Streets.

...music Is Sometimes The Only Benign Avenue Of Communication Between Antagonists.

Philip Larkin Didn't Write For Several Years Before His Life Ended. And When He Was Asked Why He Didn't Write, He Said The Muse Deserted Him. And When I Read That, It Really Had A Profound Effect Upon Me, Sort Of Scared Me. So That's Why I Think I Have No Right To Assume That Some Thought Is Going To Come... But I Think, In My Imagination, If It Is It, There Will Probably Be Something Else I'm Interested In.

A Man Walks Down The Street. It's A Street In A Strange World. Maybe It's The Third World. Maybe It's His First Time Around. He Doesn't Speak The Language. He Holds No Currency. He Is A Foreign Man. He Is Surrounded By The Sound, Sound Of Cattle In The Marketplace, Scatterlings And Orphanages. He Looks Around, Around He Sees Angels In The Architecture Spinning In Infinity And He Says, "amen" And "hallelujah!

Not Every Song I Write Is Ecstasy. And It Can Happen Only One Time. After That, When You Sing The Same Melody And Words, It's Pleasure, But You Don't Get Wiped Out.
