block believe writing
I don't believe in writer's block, writing well is very easy; it's writing horribly, the horrible work necessary to do to get to writing well, that is so difficult one may just not be willing to do it.
sea enough slaughterhouses
Go down any road far enough and you'll come to a slaughterhouse, but keep going and you'll reach the sea.
fall errors dumbasses
Hark, dumbass, the error is not to fall but to fall from no height. Don't fall off a curb, fall off a cliff.
moving life-is-hard darkness
You start with a darkness to move through but sometimes the darkness moves through you.
dream sleep writing
Poets are excellent students of blizzards and salt and broken statuary, but they are always elsewhere for the test. Any intention in the writing of poetry besides the aim to make a poem, of engaging the materials, SHOULD be disappointed. If the poet does not have the chutzpah to jeopardize habituated assumptions and practices, what will be produced will be sleep without dream, a copy of a copy of a copy.
sleep want pages
I was satisfied with haiku until I met you, but now I want a Russian novel, a 50-page description of you sleeping.

You want happy endings, read cookbooks.
bird cages
Just because we have birds inside us, we don't have to be cages.
heart way pebbles
Here is a semi-transparent pebble I picked up on the way to my EKG. Probably worthless but it is my heart so take it.

I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.
kings thinking mind
I love the music from Nat King Cole, BB King, Albert King... When I think of it, I wouldn't mind being renamed Angus King.
dancing people trying
Once you're on stage you can't go back, even when things go wrong people expect you to stay there and entertain them. When all else fails, you've got to try tap dancing.
firsts done easy
Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.
yelling guitar play
I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'
