The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. but in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. it all depends on what you dig. i personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.

More From Van Morrison

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.

Take your job seriously, but don't take their complaints personally. if you take it personally you'll get upset and lose your edge. if you take it too personally, you'll lose your edge and your job. if you take it seriously -- it's you with them. if you take it personally, it's you against them. what steps can you take to ensure keeping your cool?

I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

I don't think either party has any idea what's headed their way. their business is to remain mired in process. they call it deliberation, thoughtful, reasonable deliberation. trump doesn't know any of that. trump is not a process guy. to him, process is delay. process is obfuscation. process is incompetence. people engaging in process are a bunch of people masking the fact they don't know what they're doing, and he has no time for 'em and no patience.

The music i really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what i really dig. and i also dig to sing ballads as well. and i also dig writing my own songs. i was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.

When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. we say that something has become a great burden to us. we either bear the burden or fail and go down with it, we struggle with it, win or lose. and sabina - what had come over her? nothing. she had left a man because she felt like leaving him. had he persecuted her? had he tried to take revenge on her? no. her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. what fell to her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being.
