If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?

We might think that we're really intellectual and we're going to check out the library to research the meaning every time somebody puts out a new record. It's still primitive stuff. It's the same now as it was at the beginning. It's no different now. Rock 'n' roll is spirit music-it's just coming through people.

I was just getting tired of the image bullshit...that man of mystery trip and what have you. What's that all about?

There aren't any labels - all jazz means is improvization and you can never play a tune the same way twice. So jazz spills over into everything.
Van Morrison
Image
You are who you are. It doesn't make any point to go out and buy the Top 40 albums to see what those acts are doing. There's no point in hearing what's going on. The only thing that's going on is what's been going forever. It's just that some people dig that bag and some people dig the other bag.

Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

Leave your thoughtlessness behind you then you may begin to understand. Clear the emptiness around you with the waving of your hand.
