Gotta kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight.

My models for graceful aging are guys like John Lee Hooker and Mississippi John Hurt, who never stopped working till they dropped, as I fully expect to be doing, and just getting better as musicians and as human beings.

Lord, spit on our eyes that we may see, how to wake up from this tragedy.

I watch the confusion of friends all numb with love moving like stray dogs to the anthem of night long conversations of pulsing rhythms and random voltage voices in spite of themselves graceful as these raindrops creeping spermlike across the car window.

Once you tie anger and ego together then you're a monster, at least a latent one. So you have to be able to separate those things before you are going to be able to do anything useful with your anger.

In between effect and cause and just beyond the range of normal sight, this glittering joker was dancing in the dragon's jaws.

Wave the flag, wave the Bible, wave your sex or your business degree, whatever you want, just don't wave that thing at me.
