Without simply gushing, I have to say this: when I'm in Iowa there are two or three people who I know who get what I'm trying to do musically. When I get to Detroit, people take my efforts seriously in a way that I don't get anywhere else.
And I'm not claiming to be a grand artist or anything. I mean that the PROCESS I'm engaged in -- trying to create something new and unique -- is regarded as the most natural thing on earth to people I meet in Detroit. Around here, with a few exceptions, it's seen as a quaint hobby, like collecting Beanie Babies. Detroit folks have a lot to be proud of.
