I looked at Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and the boys up there thinking, I want to be that.
I don't think anyone really is interested in reading about my emotional state. It's not even interesting to me.
But I liked Yeats! That wild Irishman. I really loved his love of language, his flow. His chaotic ideas seemed to me just the right thing for a poet. Passion! He was always on the right side. He may be wrongheaded, but his heart was always on the right side. He wrote beautiful poetry.
