A SHORT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SOMETHING WRITTEN
ON THE OCCASION OF THE
COMPLETION OF THE ALBUM SAFE INSIDE THE DAY FOR DRAG CITY.
I was born in Cleveland Ohio. This album is very much about the street
I grew up
on.
Where The Earlie King ruled without mercy. And Bobby Slot and Freddy
Weiss
invented the Dance of Diminishing Possibilities.
I left for New York in 1972 and eventually became a musician. I was good
at the
sacred and I was good at the profane but I could never get the hang of
anything
in between and I went from the street to the church to the street again
and then
I stopped.
I found myself back in Cleveland and began to write songs.
And then I stopped writing songs. I thought I had said everything I had
to say and
there was nothing left to say so I simply stopped.
And then I remembered Bobby Slot and Freddy Weiss and my own father and
all
the little ghosts that lived with us and I realized that there was something
left to
say after all.
The inside is bigger than the outside, more important, and less destructible.
“
Many mansions” and all that.
Kingdom of god.
I love everybody
