"Art, music, and philosophy are merely poignant examples of what we might have been had not the priests and traders gotten hold of us."

Growing up in the fifties, having to wear a dog tag, having to take shelter in a bomb shelter. That turned me toward the road, I did not want to live in fear of that, I was gong to work somehow against what that vision was, and what that horror was. It was poetry, art, music.
