I don't do anything for Halloween. I carry Halloween inside of me.
I started in the music business I was first introduced to 1650 Broadway, uh, which was in reality where everything happened in the '60s.
At the end of the playback of the take of "Like A Rolling Stone", or actually during the thing, Bob Dylan said to the producer, turn up the organ. And Tom Wilson said, oh man, that guy's not an organ player. And Dylan said, I don't care, turn the organ up, and that's really how I became an organ player.
My influences were mostly gospel. So I was playing my twisted Jewish equivalent of gospel music over his twisted equivalent of rock and roll music. And it was a very excellent marriage.
Still being ambitious to want to play on the record, I was a mediocre keyboard player. And uh, I seized the opportunity and played the organ.
Musically Bob [Dylan] is a primitive. He's not a Gershwin, or somebody that uses eloquent music terms.
If you'd done a good job you'd just step back and let all these different chemistries interact and let it go.
What is life? A continuous praise and blame.
Taking the time to write in our lives gives us the time of our lives. As we describe our environments, we begin to savor them. Even the most rushed and pell-mell life begins to take on the patina of being cherished.
The cities are the principal home and seat of the human group. They are the coral colony for Man, the collective being.
You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.
