I am a black man dedicated to expression; expression of the joy and pride of blackness. I consider myself neither poet, composer, or musician. These are merely tools used by sensitive men to carve out a piece of beauty or truth that they hope may lead to peace and salvation.

The first revolution is when you change your mind

Angel dust won't go away. Somefolks who were smoking it were going away.

I don't see any independent position that I'm in; it's rather inter-dependent.

I don't mind being criticized. I enjoy being criticized personally, not by rumor.

Schedule? I have no schedule. There is no hurry. I work when I want to.
