I've probably been an art teacher or something, but that record made me think this is something I could do.

And I think it made a lot of other people think that.

I know so many musicians who say that was the record that really made things happen for me.

Now I've got to do number three.

That means I've only got one choice left.

This is very difficult.

See, so much of the music that has really affected me is religious music, which is funny because I'm sort of an atheist.

But

The thing about religious music I think that is so special is that it's made by people and it's made by people for other reasons than I want to pull a chick, I want to make a lot of money, or I want to dance.

Now all of those things are fine, I have no problem with them, but the majority of popular music comes out of those kinds of feelings, I think.

Yep, well I c I'd take that.

Yeah, even an atheist like me would say, It depends how big the word God is for you, and if it's big enough I can accommodate ideas like that.

So I'm gonna choose a gospel record.

And it's a strange one.

It's the consolers.

The consolers were a couple, Sullivan and Iola Pew, P U G H.

You know, I asked myself the question after going to this museum I mentioned in Lausanne, the Museum of Outsider Art.

I thought what's outside a music?

I wondered.

And then I thought, well, actually the whole of pop music is really outsider music, in that it didn't come out of academies or institutions, of it's just people doing stuff together.
