Be jealous. I was there.

What is the essential difference between the world of nature and the world of man? There is an obvious difference like the difference of artistic styles. No-one, for example, would confuse a painting by Leonardo with a painting by Picasso or music by Bach with music by Shostakovitch. And in the same way, there seems to be a complete difference in style between the things that human-beings do and the things that nature does, even though human-beings, are themselves, a part of nature.

Nature is wiggling. Everything wiggles -- the outlines of the hills, the shapes of the trees, the way the wind brushes the grass, the clouds; the tracks of streams. It all wiggles, and for some reason or other, we find wiggly things very difficult to keep track of. We say to people, keep still so that I can see you. Keep still for the camera. And we say, well let's get things straightened out. Lets get this ironed out. Let's get it all squared away. And then somehow we think we understand things when we have translated them into terms of straight lines and squares. Maybe that's why they call rather rigid people squares. But it doesn't fit nature. Wherever human-beings have been around and done there thing, you find rectangles. We live in boxes. Our streets , especially across states like Kansas and Nebraska, are laid out in a grid pattern. They even dropped a grid pattern on top of San Francisco, with all those hills, so that cars run away. It seems that the human being really has a very simple kind of mind, and all this wiggly-ness is too complicated. I don't think it really is complicated because after all, it's very simple to move, to raise something or to open and close your hand. It's very easy because we don't have to think about them. Things only become complicated when we think about them and that's because we're trying to translate them into a form of life which is very much simpler and cruder than the forms of life we are talking about.

My name is Joey.
I'm a musician, writer and artist.
[but between you and I -- I don't think I'm too good at it]
I play a few instruments.
I won't list them here.
[because that's boring stuff]
I'm a very musical person.
I don't listen to much new pop music.
I despise rap with every fiber of my being.
Rap isn't music.
It's attempted poetry set to computerized beats.
[in other words -- it lacks talent and skill -- and musical sense]
Oh...
Did I mention my name is Joey?
