“My attitude towards my time as a musician, is that I really wanted to completely reinvent myself and not be one of these people who, twenty, thirty years later, is trying to recreate something that happened. I'm glad that Neil Young still makes records, but I don't know that everybody needs to be frozen in time forever. I think it's good that pop music is ephemeral.” PeopleThinkingKnowsNeedsTryingYearsStillsWantedYoungAttitudeForeverRecordsHappenedMusicianMusic IsTwentiesPopsGladThirtyMy TimeFrozenPop MusicThirty YearsMy AttitudeEphemeralFrozen In Time Author:Kurt Ralske
“Some people who make music are instantly very savvy about how they can get their music to communicate in a larger way. For me, the music was always first, and I put a lot of time and effort and thought into making the recordings. But everything else around it, all the things that were necessary to have a career in pop music, I was completely ill equipped to handle.” PeopleWayFirstsEffortCareersIllCommunicatePopsHandlePop MusicSavvy Author:Kurt Ralske
“Expression is never considered a given, and it is in fact maybe not what's most interesting about making art. Making art, since 1960 or something, is many things: it's a way of doing philosophy, it's a way of opening a dialogue, it's a way of putting a fact or a question out into the world, or a way of drawing people into new relationships, or a way of interrogating history. It's all these other sorts of strategies or techniques or processes that are really interesting and really valuable.” PeopleWorldWayArtPhilosophyFactsGivenProcessInterestingExpressionStrategyValuableTechniqueDrawingDialogueOpening1960sMost InterestingReally InterestingNew RelationshipArt Making Author:Kurt Ralske
