Music, You Know, True Music

As Far As A Truly Radical Conscience, You Have To Take It As Part Of A Larger Thing, That It Was Sort Of Historical Inevitability That With The Coming Of A Leaguer Society People Would Start To Use Drugs A Lot More Then They Had Before.

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.

I'm Really Schizophrenic About That, Because On The One Hand I Would Say, Yes There Is, There's Something Inherently, Even Violent About It, It's Wild And Raw And All This.

The Whole Point Of American Culture Is To Pick Up Any Old Piece Of Trash And Make It Shine With More Facets Than The Hope Diamond.

In Fact I Think Now We've Reached A Point Now, Where The Powers That Be Really Have Sort Of Vested Interest In All Of Us Being Stoned Out As Much As Possible All The Time So We Don't Know What's Going On, And We Don't Care.
