One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.
From Lou Reed
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
These are really terribly rough times, and we really should try to be as nice to each other as possible.
Raymond Chandler managed to write about L.A. his whole career. Should I keep going writing about New York? Is that what I should be doing? Songwriting doesn't work that way.
I'll tell ya, I'm a genuinely nice guy. I really am. A real nice guy. But I think I'm temperamental.
I wouldn't want to hear Beethoven without beautiful bass, the cellos, the tuba. It's very important. Hip-hop has thunderous bass. And so does Beethoven. If you don't have the bass, it's like being amputated. It's like you have no legs.
There's a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out.
I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother.
I love Ornette Coleman. I love Don Cherry. I love the way those guys play.
I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen.
