When I came across something I liked, I wanted to find out as much as I could about it. This was as true of hearing Hoagy Carmichael for the first time as it was later when I first heard Boulez.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My thought was I should try to stick with names that people may recognize like Robert Johnson, Son House, and Hoagy Carmichael, so if somebody cared to research, they would find a wealth of material.
Marc Bolan had inspired so many people to pick up a guitar and join a band.
Boulez seemed to me to be a guy who wrote laws. Like a company lawyer.
As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini.
I was at a book convention, in a cab. On one side of me was Arthur Schlesinger; on the other side was William Manchester - real heavyweights. All they were doing was asking me about Charles Manson. The only thing that enables me not to be bored is the people talking about it - they're so interested.
I hate when people call me 'The Boz'.
People doing the kind of sound research that I'm interested in still have a difficult time.
It was very interesting for me because DNA made music without much technical knowledge at all.
When I was first introduced to the music of Jacques Brel, I was totally floored. I had never heard anything as intelligent or sexy or angry as his music.
I'd always heard stories about how Harpo Marx was the most talkative of the Marx brothers. I found it interesting that someone you never got to hear speak in films would never not speak in real life.
