I've Rarely Seen Video Screens Used Well

What's Been Missing From Digital Music Sales Has Been The Possibility Of Added Depth. In A Printed Package One Can Only Include So Many Images And So Much Text - For Example - But Digitally It's Wide Open. For The Most Part At The Moment We Get Less Information For Slightly Less Money - Though We Could Be Getting A Lot More.

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.

I'm Really Curious How The Private Listening - Ipods, People Listening On Their Phones - How That Might Eventual Effect Music. There'll Be A Whole Genre Of Music That Really Works On A Kind Of One To One Headphone Or Earbud Level But Doesn't Really Work When You Play It In A Room.

I'd Been Keeping Tour Diaries, And Especially When I Go Somewhere Where I Felt The Experience Might Be Interesting, Like Eastern Europe Or South America Or Whatever, Where The Whole Perception Of What I Was Doing There And Stuff That I Was Seeing And Music I Was Hearing, I Could Put All That Into A Diary.

I'm Just Wearing Regular Street Clothes. Pretty Much All The Time. In The Summertime, Or When It Gets Warm Out, Shorts And Sandals Or Something Like That. Stuff That I Don't Mind Getting A Little Sweaty.
