"a translation Body: and what I meant was Please lets put an end to over marketed, expensive heartless tacky rubbish, autotune, airbrush should i market myself to look OUTRAGEOUS and kooky or would it be easier if I sold records by playing safe and serene and for the family to save more record sales. Cliff richard. enrique iglesias. mutton dressed as lamb. what we all need in this time of super superficialities is gristle and bone and passion and soul and true stars that havent come from the end of showbiz academy jazz hands school I never got an education for what i do, I woke up with a passion to sing and write and communicate from the bottom of my dirty teenage heart and we should be more aware of what is fed to us as genetically modified music and what is organic music, this is not about gender or sexuality, its just a bad time for music and I cant stand on the sideline with a fake smile. Sure, everybody likes a good show.. and and entertainer but liberace had the flying limousine and hotpants. I went to hear my violinist Victoria Sutherland play Schuberts last piano trio yesterday morning, it was in st marys church on the strand right opposite somerset house where we played only about thirteen hours before. it was the first time in many months I heard a piece of music that totally seized my body with emotion. I suddenly woke up out of the forced ataraxy of the previous night. Franz Shubert died of syphilis and mercury poisoning at the age of 30 with almost all of his compositions refused to be played by orchestras or definitely unpublished, I demand justice for good music and firebrands who refiuse to compromise to be popular. Or at least a good meal or two in the process to keep them going. Stay true, free and fierce peoples and enjoy your summer.... xxx pw"
