It's frustrating how little control we have over the story of our lives once we've passed on.
But one thing I've learned from studying history, from talking to the other permanent residents,
It's that stories shapeshift over time.
They evolve.
They always do.
Sometimes it's because of misinformation or lost records, but in other cases, the knowledge of the past gets richer the more we know about it, the more we see the bigger context.
And we get that context because of primary sources and people who know how to look at them correctly.
And I would argue that the sheer volume of work you created, all that context, even if it's not on the radio, it's promising, helpful, whatever.
And people still like hearing these songs.
Yeah, a stoned college kid might not pick up on the intricacies of the Basque fisherman's harmonies, but she appreciates it on some level.
She enjoys it.
It's still music.
That's true.
I understand.
I'll, I'll come back later.
Oh, yeah, thanks for taking time out of your touring schedule for this.
I know you must be busy.
They should be.
Even if it's not perfect, we want to capture the atmosphere more than anything.
