When I was in college, I had a jazz radio show. I called it 'Excursion on a Wobbly Rail,' after a Cecil Taylor song. I used to run around the Village following Ornette Coleman wherever he played.
I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.
I can't do anything I want to. I mean, I can't have my own TV show. I can't have my own movie. But within my little world, nobody tells me what to put on the albums.
I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.
I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.
