Summary
"John had a composition once which involved taking everybody out into the woods and having them follow the wind. As of late though we play indoors so we have to be the weather." — Lou Reed
"I was thinking one time about creating weather by using music...I'd like to have a tape that would create a 75-degree temperatures. Over a period of days you could play a tape that would regulate the heat around you. The kind of heat that it would give off would be in some cases like summer or autumn." — John Cale
(new york [where else?], 1966ish.)

"You know that thing they say about boiling frogs?"
"Boiling…?"
"Frogs. That if you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly turn up the heat until it's boiling, the frog won't jump out because it doesn't realize the temperature's changed. It's a metaphor for how we can get used to anything even if it's killing us."
Really you were talking about the long end of the world, the snowless futures, but he probably thought you were talking about something else.
(in the studio and out of it, summer 1998.)

Summary
George sometimes feels like he’s on a merry-go-round, all the lights and sounds and people passing too fast. Nothing that lasts long enough to hold onto, nothing that ever stays in focus. He’s waiting for the inevitable halt, when he’ll have to step off, but he worries he’ll be so dizzy he’ll just collapse.
The Beatles return to Hamburg in 1961. It's going to be good this time. George will make sure it is.

“You haven’t found religion, then?” Damon continued.
