What I'm identifying with is the vision or the idea - whatever was the little nugget that started it.

It's a pity if someone who has a really profoundly potent art to share chooses not to or doesn't fit into this very thin slice of what's desirable and marketable, chances are the public will never get a chance to hear what they're doing.

I am insubordinate by nature. I can't help it.
