Won’t you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Let’s just breath…
Pearl Jam, “Just Breath”.
Janis Joplin (1943-1970)
I’m a victim of my own insides. There was a time when I wanted to know everything. I read a lot. I guess you’d say I was pretty intellectual. It’s odd, I can’t remember when it changed. It used to make me very unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn’t know what to do with it. But now I’ve learned how to make feeling work for me. I’m full of emotion and I want a release, and if you’re on stage and if it’s really working and you’ve got the audience with you, it’s a oneness you feel. I’m into me, plus they’re into me, and everything comes together. You’re full of it. I don’t know, I just want to feel as much as I can, it’s what ‘soul’ is all about.

“Kathy’s Song”, Simon & Garfunkel, Sounds of Silence (1966).
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
“Firth of Fifth” is one of my favourite songs. Ever.
The lyrics aren’t their best, but Tony Banks’s performance is orgasmic.
The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before.

Sidney Bechet, “Summertime”.
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
