Everything That Is Strong In Me Has

Yeah, I Was A Child Of American Popular Culture.

Everything That Is Strong In Me Has Gone Into My Art Work.

There's Some Connection Between Visual Images And Music. But There's Plenty Of Old Records Where I Have No Idea What The Band Looked Like, Or Even What Sort Of Context The Music Was Played In.

I Didn't Invent Anything; It's All There In The Culture; It's Not A Big Mystery. I Just Combine My Personal Experience With Classic Cartoon Stereotypes.

As A Kid Growing Up In The 1950s I Became Acutely Aware Of The Changes Taking Place In American Culture And I Must Say I Didn't Much Like It. I Witnessed The Debasement Of Architecture, And I Could See A Decline In The Quality Of Things Like Comic Books And Toys, Things Made For Kids. Old Things Seemed To Have More Life, More Substance, More Humanity In Them.
