It doesn't... Well, somebody did once ask me, are you going to read the news in that voice?

And I said, well, it's the only one.

What then about being, because of course, I can't imagine that people didn't then expect you because you were in this exalted role and you were not typical of all of the stars we normally see to be the role model.

That, you know, you have to be the role model.

So many questions come to my mind, but I'm going to wait to ask them until after the next piece of music.

What have you chosen?

Celia Cruz and Kimbara.

It's radio.

You said as we were going into that piece of music that the price for being you, for being an artist, can be very high.

What's the price been for you?

Is it true that at one of your weddings you said when the vows were read out and you were meant to say, I do, you said maybe?

And what is it, the little things?

Is it having to compromise?

So do you think, I mean, will there be, would there be a fourth Mr. Goldberg?

Damn.

Is it true you live in the middle of nowhere?

I mean, when you're not working?

I mean, without being too specific, clearly.

I live in Vermont.

Oh, right.
