More From Wynton Marsalis

Why has mankind had such a craving to be imposed upon? why this lust after imposing creeds, imposing deeds, imposing buildings, imposing language, imposing works of art? the thing becomes an imposition and a weariness at last. give us things that are alive and flexible, which won't last too long and become an obstruction and a weariness. even michelangelo becomes at last a lump and a burden and a bore. it is so hard to see past him.

See... relationships are hard, man. for order, for any relationship to work, both people have to be on the same page, both people have to have the same focus, and we all know what that page is. we all know what that focus is. in order for the relationship to work both people have to have the same focus, and what's that focus? that focus is all about her! it's all about her!
