David Berman WTJU interview from 1995

Voice of a generation; still is

[@artv_limbico6301]

All art is generosity by nature and artists are doing us a service. It takes a lot of sacrifices both material and spiritual to afford living the artist life and putting oneself out there. Francis of Asisi comes to mind as an artist archetype. And to make such sacrifices while “mentally ill” as you put it, just makes me more grateful, inspires me, and most of all, it proves that no matter your shortcomings you can still strive to lead an ethical life.

Thank you for the upload. That's such a sweet picture, by the way. Makes me want to read Self Portrait at 28 again. Is there a higher quality?
