I don't think it's as simple as not growing up, but I agree with
Scottie (and William Blake and Jerome David Mr. Salinger) that young
folks have ways of seeing that shatter us and those fragments, ah
Buddy, so much more than post-modern fragments, are what gets fused
by artists, your everyday great artists, put humpty dumpty back
together again. King's horses and king's men didn't know to put
anything together in the first place. If growing up and maturing is
about being a king's horse (mostly the ass part) and man, let it go.
But art has grown up stuff in it. The hard work and discipline to
create art over time is linked to preserving the child in you...it's
past my bedtime now, good night, will
