[Neoism]
"Maris and I were in Portland. We'd been working with a Xerox
3107 that makes big copies and reductions. We were making giant folios;
monster folios and dinosaur folios we called them.
And one night Maris started fooling around with the tape recorder, singing
songs in Latuvian about toilets and traffic. Well, we decided to make a
pop star out of Maris. But it had to be an open pop star, that is, anyone
who wanted could assume the personality of the pop star. This open
pop star would be the most talented in history, better than Elvis Presley,
Frank Sinatra, Sal Mineo and even Ry Cooder all rolled together in one.
Pop stars have always been special to me, growing up the son of a
symphony conductor the way I did. To me they stand for rebellian and
acceptance, revolution and success and a whole lot of
other things at the same time.
We were mouthing Maris Kundzins' name, and it came out Monty Cantsins.
Then we got to saying can't sin and can't sing
and quite a few other things to give the impression that this pop star
could be a thief as well as a saint."
