I was re-reading Born To Run this morning (while trying to wake up with coffee).. One of the paragraphs that always makes me smile: "The primary math of the real world is one and one equals two. The layman (as often do I) swings that every day. He does the job, does his work, pays his bills and comes home. One plus one equals two. It keeps the world spinning. But artists, musicians, con men, poets, mystics, and such are paid to turn that math on its head, and rub two sticks together and bring forth fire. Everybody performs this alchemy somewhere in their life, but it's hard to hold on to and easy to forget. People don't come to rock shows to learn something. They come to be reminded of something they already know and feel deep down in their gut. That's when the world is at its best, when we are at our best, when life feels fullest, one and one equals three. It's the essential equation of love, art, rock 'n' roll and rock 'n' roll bands. It's the reason the universe will never be fully comprehensible, love will continue to be ecstatic, confounding and true rock 'n' roll will never die".
With that, I put my shoes on, put the music on, and went outside running :) ... and it was 1+1 = 3 to the very last step :)
