And the newer guys are really obligated in a lot ways to do the same thing all of us have had to do in this music which is to learn the sort of language of it and then have something to talk about, have something to say. What's different now is that there is a lot more fluency, there is a lot more people who can kind of deal with the language. But in fact, it turns out there is not that many people who have got a story to tell, who kind of got a way of bringing something to life in the music that is something important to them. And that's really what I look for more than anything. However, I do need a very high degree of fluency, because of the kind of music that I do, which is quite complicated harmonically, it has to be somebody who really has a deep understanding of harmony and then also has the kind of understanding of harmony where they can sort of forget the harmony too. And that's a real small group of people in any generation.” ~~ Pat Matheny

I think having children would have eaten up all my time and I wouldn't have been a good father. I would have had someone to blame my failures on. Richard Ford He stole the election - well, the Democrats fundamentally let him steal the election, thanks to the ludicrous intervention of Nader.

436. “I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found” ~~ Bertrand Russell

"When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world-try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. But that's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. The minute you understand that you can poke like and if you push in something will pop out the other side - you can change it, you can mold it. That's maybe the most important thing, to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, hang it, improve it, make your mark upon it.

Once you learn that you'll never be the same again." ~~ Steve Jobs
