Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Never say never but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
  • 2. A tart temper never mellows with age and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.
  • 3. A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him 'At my age I don't even buy green bananas.'

2 Amazing

  • 1. I walked to Seward School first through fourth grade. It's just amazing to me now that we'd walk down 10th Avenue on Capitol Hill.
  • 2. There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married amazing things like that. I've been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day a pagan ceremony.
  • 3. You would be amazed what the ordinary guy knows.

3 Anger

  • 1. Hatred is settled anger.
  • 2. The intoxication of anger like that of the grape shows us to others but hides us from ourselves.
  • 3. The American people are smart. They've gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.
  • 2. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
  • 3. June 2005 is the five year anniversary of the debut of Battle Pope.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.
  • 2. Italy is full of historical buildings. And Europe holds a great history of philosophy from Greece until today. I read all those books and see these buildings and I think of where I stand when I design my architecture.
  • 3. Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
