More From Jasper Johns

At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.
Song Book Writing
In the west, there's a myth that freedom means free expression-that to follow all desires wherever they take one is true freedom. in fact, as one serves the mind, one sees that following desires, attractions, and repulsions is not at all freedom, but is a kind of bondage. a mind filled with desires and grasping inevitably entails great suffering. freedom is not to be gained through the ability to perform certain external actions. true freedom is an inward state of being. once it is attained, no situation in the world can bind one or limit one's freedom.
Mean Expression Mind
Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
Vulnerability of artists is definitely what makes organizations like pen necessary because, as i tried to argue, the actual work that writers and artists do has an ornery way of surviving. particularly in this age of the internet, it is very easy for forbidden work to be found online somewhere if you know where to look. artists themselves, however, are in increasing danger, and not just artists. the great concern is that year after year, rising numbers of journalists are being killed in pursuit of their work.
Artist Age Arguing
Within a social structure, a familial structure, or a cultural structure of various kinds, there is a substitute for actual freedom. i mean, actual freedom is a very abstract notion; we have no idea what it means, except within a context - freedom to do what? so within these social structures, freedom becomes defined as power, your ability to make choices, and the power relationship within a family, any family.
Mean Choices Kind
I cherish my own freedom dearly, but i care even more for your freedom. too many have died since i went to prison. too many have suffered for the love of freedom. i owe it to their widows, to their orphans, to their mothers and their fathers, who have grieved and wept for them ..... not only have i suffered during these long lonely wasted years. i am no less life-loving than you are. but i cannot sell the birthright of the people to be free ....... only free men can negotiate. prisoners cannot enter into contracts. your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

I'm starting to get older, and began to think about mortality a little more. my mother died in 2003 and that was a big shock. when your parents start to die off, that's going to be a revelation. so for me, this album - although it might sound quite cheery - is really talking about death.

Every morning, just like in alabama, i got up with the sun, ate my breakfast even before my mother and sisters and brothers, and went to school, winter, spring, and fall alike to run and jump and bend my body this way and that for mr. charles riley.
