"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Two days later, I was still standing there on the street. The crate had grown, and now included the first couple Miles records. I think there was a Residents record in there too. A statue of George Clinton, carved from mahogany. The Germs first record. I was saying things like "major seventh" and "blow man blow" and people were snapping their fingers as they passed by.
That was 1997. I am still on that street corner now. At some point, probably around 2014, my inner monologue switched to Miles voice.
