I’m taking that as a compliment P45,

As my dad would say, I have multiple talents except for the one to make money. It’s the artist-scholar curse, I suppose. Well I would always rather hang out down at the bars on the docks with musicians, revolutionaries, and the regular workin’ folks than hang out up at the palace anyways. Ancient Egyptian wisdom literature says that those who think that they are better than another simply because they possess more riches than another are fools, and that the gods truly pity their ignorant consciousness.

Yes, that is me singing, and although captured on tape 20 short years ago, I still haven’t lost my voice. It was also really good that I gave up smoking cigs about 5 years ago. Cigarettes - That’s why Sinatra sounded like shit at the end and Tony Bennett still sounds great.

And yeah, David Byrne. I saw Talking Heads during their “Stop Making Sense” tour. Completely great band. Great artists, all of ‘em. New York. CBGBs. I am so glad that Jonathan Demme captured that tour on film. I’m also a big fan of Brian Eno and Bill Laswell. So much good music out there. It is insane.
