From the mind of Steven Wright

[Guest guest]

" Once I had a good idea. See what happened was

for some reason I thought that over the years

people had had too much influence on art.

 

I figured I wanted to play music that wasn't written

by people.

 

So, what I did was, I got this old pair of glasses

that no one was using or nothing and

I painted lines across the lenses.

 

Five lines to be exact.

 

Like the lines on a music staff.

 

Then one night I laid down on the ground

and I looked up at the sky

and held my head in one position,

 

...and the stars became the notes on the lines.

 

 

I started to play the sky.

 

 

Maybe that's what the stars are for?

 

What are the chances? "
