IDLE THOUGHTS
in the 1960s, the early 1960s
we had never heard backwards tape recordings
and it was fascinating
think of it: Baudelaire never heard
backwards tape
neither did Man Ray
the avant garde is about possibilities
the parameters of anything you do
always implies something
further out
i believe in the avant garde
but
to my avant friends
i'm probably conservative
i understand the value of forms
and structures and physical laws
to me
the most avant garde thing
that has ever happen'd in music
is: Alice Cooper playing golf --
i still have a hard time
wrapping my brain around
that one
