Title: Re: A negative review for 2002 >> Biting the biscuit...
Interesting thread this is turning into.  

I have no
particular agenda, no artistic philosophy for what I do. Nothing is
particularly
well thought out at all. What I play, how I play and how I think about what I
play
really comes from a very, very naive (not to say primitive) place.

I love this comment.  I really have no patience for ideology in music.  It's so contrary to the reasons I got into music and creativity in the first place -- namely, joy, connecting with the larger dreamself beyond my rational mind, etc . . .
At my  healthiest, I know that I do music for myself and for those who naturally respond to what I have to say.  At my most insecure, I worry about how I'll be labelled and received -- my particular nightmare is to be dismissed as a "new age" artist.
