In his own words :
I’m in awe of musicians — always have been. Well ... maybe less so now. At least not just anybody singing any song.
I remember going to an older musician’s funeral and the friar comforting the mourners by saying he’s in heaven now playing the sweetest song! How strange that the world at large is always looking to give a musician their bona fides, even in death; maybe even especially so. The sweetest song? For how long?
That musician that’s dead he wore rings he took trips learned to play the guitar in one easy lifetime — muddy Waters right of spring a little prick flick-licking the sticky bloodline.
Several years later I was at another musician’s funeral, in my community; someone gone too early. This guy could really play but a terrible prick! He played so beautifully that a hundred years ago he may have been beyond good and evil, but now his expression was devalued. The narrative foisted upon him was love your art for your art’s sake. But the thing he held sacred was being debased and wildly rewarded in popular culture. A conflict that corrupts, and not just the musician, but everyone.
The musician is radical it’s the world that’s demented—listening with their eyes the music looks dented and over represented.
The preacher can preach and the chorus can admonish and the money anoints but the circuit of creation must not be left open.
This song is my blessing for the musician that’s either crushed or cut adrift!
How do you get to heaven— have fun!
