Do you remember the guy with the sign
“The end is nigh”?
That was me (do you remember what was written on the back?)
And do you remember the guy with a boxfull of wind?
Or maybe it was a cassette

A tooth is a part of ourselves, isn’t it? Like a bit of our personality. I remember in the newspaper, a man lost his arm in an accident and wanted to have it buried in the cemetery. The authorities refused. The arm was cremated and that was that. I wonder if they refused to give him the ashes and if so, by what right? Tell me… At what precise moment does an individual stop being who he thinks he is? Cut off my arm. I say ‘me and my arm’. You cut off my other arm. I say ‘me and my two arms’. You take out my stomach, my kidneys, assuming that were possible… And I say ‘me and my intestines’. Follow me? And now, if you cut off my head, would I say ‘me and my head’ or ‘me and my body’? What right has my head to call itself me? (Le Locataire)

Darkness / Leonard Cohen

“When I told Blixa I’d be playing on the LP, his response was, ‘Oh good - less work for me to do!’ He’s the only person I know who considers not playing on something to be a contribution. He thinks, by the sheer fact of not playing on something, his contribution has been to leave all the space for everybody else. Which is quite an admirable trait, because most people seem hell bent on playing all over every single track, whether it’s needed or not.”
