I'm always surprised when someone who I otherwise think is funny, smart, and well-written admits to liking Weston's spoken word, having read his books, and how powerful his work is and how much it means to them.

"[Birdsongs of the Mesozoic] would make both Mingus and Schoenberg
smile...It's as if Ornette Coleman was in a no-rock band with Bill
Frisell and Pat Metheny, and the Kronos Quartet suddenly stopped
by to get drunk with them on Teleman's grave...a purely new scale
and dimension of boggling sound."

The regattabar group he's with is killer: Ravi Coltrane on sax (yes the son of that other famous Coltrane), Ornette alum David Izenon on bass (I believe, I could be wrong on that...)
sayin.
