THE ROBOT ATE ME, "THEY ATE THEMSELVES"


"Who knows but if men constructed their own dwelling, with their own hands, and provided food for themselves and families simply and honestly enough, the poetic faculty would be universally developed, as birds universally sing when they are so engaged? But alas! we do like cowbirds and cuckoos, which lay their eggs in nests which other birds have built."
- Henry Thoreau, Walden, 1854

"Only in the isolated private sphere provided by homesteading could a radical resistance and constructive challenge to capitalist culture be nurtured."
- John Saltmarsh in his biography of Scott Nearing

"The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all."
- John Cassavetes

Where did Are Jay go?

That's a question long overdue...

The fact that i love your music goes without saying, but i just had the previous question in mind right now and thought you might know.
