I'm glad my wife was there when I met President Havel, because otherwise I'd just think I dreamed it. I want to take the writing further. I think that an album every three years isn't enough. I'm at the point now where I think I know what I'm doing. The Havel piece was hard.
Good writing ought to be hard.
You have to really want it. If you don't, it's sloppy. But what the hell. It'll do until one turns up. Maybe there is a god.
