I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
Patriarchy is like the elephant in the room that we don't talk about, but how could it not affect the planet radically when it's the superstructure of human society.
In a repressed society, artists fulfil a sense of harking back to instant gratification, or immediate expression, by doing things that function on the edge of society, or outside of what is conventionally accepted.
You can't have a United States if you are telling some folks that they can't get on the train. There is a cracking point where a society collapses.
Our society, where we are right now, our minds are junkyards. We watch TV and sit on the computer all day and barely have an original thought.
When they show the destruction of society on color TV, I want to be able to look out over Los Angeles and make sure they get it right.
