...Quoth the Times: "By the time he arrived this evening in Flint, Mich., Mr. Gore was punchy from exhaustion, his face puffy and pink, with rivulets of sweat meandering down his cheek.

Their mascot is some horror-movie reject with a smiling baseball for a head, cleverly named Mr. Met. When a Met hits a home run, a sizable, but not actually big, apple bobs up from something that looks like a magician's hat. The stadium opens in centerfield to display a huge, distant U-Haul sign.

It's an art, or what the Germans call heilige kunst, or 'holy art.' That's why I create publishing companies and record companies; it has to do with helping composers, performers, etc. I've always believed in the creed of making music for the sake of the art. Whether I starve or make money is irrelevant...
