I get a lot out of a show when I know that I don't know anyone in the audience and don't think the audience knows much about the music.
I Iike the relationship that I have with my music. To be able to be accepted (in the popular culture) would distort my view of music.
I need to go someplace faraway that doesn't have telephones and doesn't have a record player and doesn't have movie theaters and people walking down the street in order to not do anything.
I'd like my records to reach as many people as possible, but I'm also thinking in terms of how I can keep from getting jaded or unhappy with the process.
In an ideal world, records would be filed in record stores by title rather than by artist, as they are in video stores. I think it's better to identify with the work rather than the people who make the work. You can put your faith in a piece of work, but not in a group of people you don't know.
It's nice to be able to backtrack and not be embarrassed by the music you used to listen to.
