Beware of privilege. It stinks of rotten rotten fish heads, many of which were lapping the shore beneath the jetties.

What God did not do is invent our EGO.
We seem to think we have some control over this planet.

I am an artist, I trade in uncertainty and superstition and cant. I invent dark visions of impossible situations that can never be resolved.

I once saw a lump of Greenland breaking off into the sea and moving south, which of course will affect the atmosphere and us generally, and it'll happen more and more.
moving drawing dollars
What actually happened was that Rolling Stone paid me fifteen hundred dollars for the use of all the drawings - about twenty four of them - and then offered to buy the originals from me, which my agent urged 'was a good move!'. He sold the whole damn treasure trove to Jann Wenner for the princely sum of sixty dollars per drawing. I rue the day I let him convince me.

The betrayal of people's good will, good trust that things are being done for the best and they actually ARE being done for the best.

Hunter and I never got proper journalistic accreditation to go anywhere. Nobody was giving us passes to go in here or there. We always had to somehow talk our way in.

I have even written a book about Wine called The Grapes of Ralph.

I've done the Rolling Stones eating each other.
