RECORDING/PART OF PERFORMANCE MARCH 2009/AMSTERDAM
(also www.youtube.com/wonderfilms) +++++++++++++++++++++
my influences in life, living and thinking are mostly songs. music is the best. the best the best. books and animals are in my winning team too. nature holds the truth to all riddles man can't solve (what does not belong to you will leave you). respect to all that share creative wealth, meaning: those who contribute to creating life, in a world of exploitation, depletion and trickery. oh oh oh to be in love: with art (when it makes you think or moves your heart), books (when they draw you in or eat you up), thinking thoughts (when they tantalize the grey matter), words (when they bewilder) and poems (when they make sense to the soul).
love sleeping when i’m not awake, love dreaming when i’m not paranoid, am influenced by things that spark the brain and make you go hallelujah in the night.
