I had paid for my folly and, as a reward, was invited to take part in the nest builder’s performance piece. the script was great. ‘when i bleat here, do you want me to just bleat or to really let go and “bleat, bleat”?’ i asked. ‘i feel like “bleat, bleating,” but if mother/destroyer is going to be crawling through the birth canal of concertina wire, i don’t want to steal focus, you know what i mean?

We laugh at sheep because sheep just follow the one in front. we humans have out-sheeped the sheep, because at least the sheep need a sheep dog to keep them in line. humans keep each other in line. and they do it by ridiculing or condemning anyone who commits the crime, and that’s what it’s become, of being different.

Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. ... government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: if it moves, tax it. if it keeps moving, regulate it. if it stops moving, subsidize it. ... the problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.

All my big heroes are literary, writers. i'd love to meet jimmy hendrix or john coltrane, but i'd much rather meet thomas wolfe, or f. scott fitzgerald. words and books have always meant a lot to me. that someone can take words and string them together to where they will move me is just a hell of a thing. it's amazing to me; more amazing to me than music or painting. it's always been the written word or the spoken word, like a great lecture or a great lyric, or a great poem. to me it's just amazing. and i always aspire toward capturing that, or my version of it.
