This interview makes me want to track down Andy Partridge and make him a happier man. I wish I were kidding. If I could send him anything, it would be Baraka. He's sounding a too raw, too worn. There is in me a constant desire to justify the world to creatives, to create a space that allows them faith. I want it apparent that the world is awe-inspiring and a gift and endlessly new, that with six billion people on this planet, there will be some they'll like.

Jean Baudrillard died this week, age 77. "He died after a "long illness," Delorme said, a term that in France most often means cancer." I'm sorry I don't own any of his work anymore, it was a source of endless inspiration.
