And for some reason, when I'm sad, I do listen to Leonard Cohen, I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood, as opposed to sticking on Motown, which might actually bring my mood up.
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.
I understand that when people read my books that there's something there - but I don't identify with it.
