On refusing use of his track in a compilation:
So if my Gol-e Gandom cut is on a compilation I really hope it isn't going to be in conjunction with any of the jumpy ugly obnoxious rock junk that has permeated the whole world like leprosy destroying everyone's musical tastes and minds. I just am sick of it all and just want to provide an alternative and that can't be done by mixing with the enemy.
On the futility of making good music with crossover appeal:
People who are addicted to the musical sludge that is out there nowadays really aren't in any mind set to be converted to real music and should just stay where they are because they will never really give up the noise for something metaphysical.
Jesus didn't hire sexy babes from the Baal / Astarte mother goddess child prostitute cult to attract followers. He violently condemned Baal and the queen of heaven and just told it like it is often making a lot of people angry. Moses and Mohammad didn't mince words either and were pretty firm about presenting and maintaining the often bitter untainted truth.
On the Beatles when they broke big time:
I told everyone they were horrible. Their tunes were all backwards and stupid. And they were idiots. And they were evil. And everybody hated me for thinking that. So I stopped talking about it and went away and became a hermit.
On the Heliocentric bassist 's musical ability:
cymbal-clapping monkey,
