I was very moved by the interview with Quincy Jones on PBS this
evening. There is something in this man that just stirs my soul as
reflected in the lyric of on eof his songs (performed live in front of
him and audiences):
Everthing Must Change
The Young Become Old
Mystery Do Unfold
That's the Way of Time
Oh, Yeah - That's the Rain from the Cloud, the Sunshine from the
Sky ...
When asked by the PBS hostess, Gwen Hill, the secert of his longivity
in the extremely fickle record business, Quincy Jones replied that
it's his zeal for life - always go where truth is, no matter how hard
it is. His punchline: "you cannot get the beef if you are afraid of
knife". He is 74 years old but feels that we are living the worst and
best times - change and even chasos are everywhere and so are the
opportunities. The only question is: do we have the heart and the
knife?
