"A final quote from Jim talking about a 3 a.m. set at Glastonbury:

It fascinates me how you can put this music in front of people who haven't heard it, and it sounds so exotic to them, even though it's from their own backyard. I feel like saying 'this is our world music here!' "




I loaned a bluegrass tape to a high school classmate who listened mostly to Nine Inch Nails and had literally never heard bluegrass. He listened to about 10 seconds of it and then gave it back, horrified, telling me he'd never heard such awful noise before. It was pretty priceless.
