There is no you in NewVillager, but there is a we. Your job thenceforth will be that of the bodhisattva, the guru, the gap-toothed docent with a serious thing for Whistler's Mother.

There's no man alive who has any answers. We all know that. It's like the guru trip. All a guru can do is direct you to something that you probably already know about yourself, something you might want to followup on. Apply the same thing to music and records. You might get something from a particular record that hits a nerve and something inside you. But that's your vision of it.

To put your full belief in your Guru, because it's for your own good, because you've decided that. . . It's just having a lot of respect for the person and it's like that with music as well. . . You should love your instrument and respect it.

The reason that 'guru' is such a popular word is because 'charlatan' is so hard to spell.

Guru is heavy, because he carries Lord Krishna in his heart.
