“Everybody’s influenced by [David Lynch]. Or I mean most people. I had to write this really long paper in college about avant garde and kitsch, what separates high art from low art. And I think he doesn’t see those boundaries. The same with Roy Orbison, that’s why he’s drawn to that music. Because at the same time something could be cliché and kitschy, it can be totally revolutionary and have a new feeling and be amazing.” Original content at AmericanSongwriter.com
He was 30 in 1942. I always think with Woody he is smarter than he lets on. I also think this was meant for an audience, for what it’s worth. — (click on the picture for full image)

‘Woman’ demo:
Timshel Logan and I would like to say Happy Christmas by giving away a new song we just finished recording. We wrote this song with the always great Keegan DeWitt. This song will be featured in the PASTE holiday sampler this week. Lyrics are below.
IT’S CHRISTMAS GO ON AND SAY HELLO
Up an down the sidewalk I hear the click and clack
every red lit tail pipe is breathing smoke
here comes my neighbor. He’s been out working.
Gives me the finger as he smiles hello.
You can see two kids down on the sidewalk
making a snowman from ice piled on the curb
using cigarette butts there to form a smile
They talk to him but he doesn’t say a word
Well its Christmas and I know it
from the string lights to the stereo
In the midnight in the morning it’s Christmas
Go on and say hello.
There’s voices moving across the twilight
somebody laughing with a girl that he bumped into
and on a thursday or is it tuesday
I wonder what i’m going to wrap up and give to you
There’s an old bum leaned against a bus stop
cup full of change and a hand drawn holly wreath
looks in the cup and he yells out toward the street
who want’s a drink now come on it’s on me.
Its Christmas and I know it
from the white wheels to the stereo
In the midnight in the morning it’s Christmas
Go on and say hello.
Discovered this tumblr today. I do love any reminder that Heraclitus was correct.
10 years ago today I was in an airport and found out George Harrison had died. I remember a good friend of ours (who played bass with us for years), Danny Kurtz said when he found out, he immediately went over to his record player and put on “All things must Pass” — and cried. I love George and Danny both.
