Nothing Ever Quite Dies, It Just Comes

Good Rock 'n' Roll Is Something That Makes You Feel Alive. It's Something That's Human, And I Think That Most Music Today Isn't. ... To Me Good Rock 'n' Roll Also Encompasses Other Things, Like Hank Williams And Charlie Mingus And A Lot Of Things That Aren't Strictly Defined As Rock 'n' Roll. Rock 'n' Roll Is An Attitude, It's Not A Musical Form Of A Strict Sort. It's A Way Of Doing Things, Of Approaching Things. Writing Can Be Rock 'n' Roll, Or A Movie Can Be Rock 'n' Roll. It's A Way Of Living Your Life.

Basically No, I Mean I Think That It's Very Easy To Like I Say, Smoke A Joint Or Even To Wear A Chairman Mao Button, Or Do A Lot Of These Things With Out Knowing What's Behind It, And What It Really Means.

I'll Probably Never Produce A Masterpiece, But So What? I Feel I Have A Sound Aborning, Which Is My Own, And That Sound If Erratic Is Still My Greatest Pride, Because I Would Rather Write Like A Dancer Shaking My Ass To Boogaloo Inside My Head, And Perhaps Reach Only Readers Who Like To Use Books To Shake Their Asses, Than To Be Or Write For The Man Cloistered In A Closet Somewhere Reading Aeschylus While This Stupefying World Careens Crazily Past His Waxy Windows Toward Its Last Raving Sooty Feedback Pirouette.
