My Time Is Today. Poetry Is Music Written for the Human Voice. Music Begins Where Language Ends. All the Good Music’s Already Been Written By People With Wigs and Stuff On. Music Is the Most Unpleasant and the Most Expensive of All Noises. Music Itself Is Going To Become Like Running Water or Electricity. |
