  • September 26, 2008 WESTERN CAROLINIAN A Bal s oe ENTERTAINMENT Page 16 (Continued from page 11) resources before theres inno- vation and science and tech- nology to lead us to a cleaner, greener future. We have a little bit more storm to go through before we get calm- er waters. Its just a matter of more Americans reading more, traveling more, waking up more and seeing their fu- ture - what really is the inevi- tability of big trucks, leaving your lights on all night long. I travel all over the world. Africa, Asia, South-east Asia, South America, Central America, and it doesnt make me an expert on anything, but I do get quite a good, vivid picture of how the rest of the world is, quite often, I come back knowing that a lot of people dont get enough to eat. A lot of people work all day, basically for their food alone, and thats it, there are no vacations. Theres no leaving town, theres no mo- tor boats, theres no hugs, no free beer. Theres a rice patty, and youre bent over it for 14 hours a day. -Thats Vietnam, thats Burma, thats Laos, thats Cambodia, thats a lot of countries, where you work, you eat as much as you ean and then you pass out, because the work starts again in six hours. So, here, we have so much and we seem to abuse it. When you look at obesity rates, when you go inside the infrastructure of Burma or some place like that, trying to find the obese people, there are no fat peo- ple. Theres not enough food. LE Da you think America is, partially responsible for all of this poverty? HR: Well, when you have one country that takes up 25% of the worlds energy, that could leave a deficit in other coun- tries. When you talk about free trade, it doesnt seem to be all that free, and it doesnt seem to be all that fair, from what Ive been learning from this book Im reading, and from, going on the internet, and a documentary I just did on famine, it just seems like the game is rigged in favor of America, and all other coun- tries seem to have to scramble pretty hard. NAFTA didnt seem to do a lot of countries a very big favor, and so I think we're definitely part of it, but Europe is also. Now that southeastern Asia and China are adopting more Western food models ~ all of a sudden the Chinese want beef, south- east Asia wants meat. They want more beef; they want hamburgers, which means that now theyre going to be devoting tons of acreage to something that eats seven pounds of grain only to pro- duce one pound of beef. All of a sudden, their food model is going to get turned on its head, and were part. of it, certainly, but we can also be the solution. It just depends on how much you feel like giving a damn about people - you'll never meet in a country that your president cant find on a map. Basically you just have to care. It starts there. JT: How do you feel about the current condition of the music industry, especially with regard to electronic me- dia such as MP3s? HR: I think its fine, because I dont shop at the Avril Lavine Hanna Montana shop. You can look at aspects and say music sucks now. Not on my show, not at my house it doesnt. Music is just fine, in fact Im spoiled for choice, theres so many good bands, so many good records com- ing out innovative, really brave, awesome, smart mu- sic, all the time. It. just de- pends on where you want to . look. As far as MP3s and downloads, I really like that it shook up the major label companies. It was a sadly needed reset. If some of them go out of business or have to cut some employees loose, (m sorry about that, but I think its for the better. Thats why I champion all the MyS- paces and all the YouTubes; so some guy with no money can make his band on his Macintosh. I think thats very liberating. YY. Do you feel like discom- fort anger, oppression, dis- satisfaction nurtures cre- ativity? : HAR: In a way, yeah, in a way it can also make you.real mis- erable and want to die, but I think that too much comfort leads to laziness or just too much satisfaction. In my life, I dont necessarily strive for discomfort, but Im always trying to stay clear and keep seeing the big it. 1 want to keep sticking it to the man and, in spite of success, re- main vital and relevant, and keep pushing at something, and so its not a matter of fooling yourself, its a matter of just keeping your priorities straight and realizing why you do what you do and not letting the fact that a lot of people like that what you do interfere with what you do; Theres nothing like a little success. to screw up every- thing. 1 go for vigor, basical- ly. [look at my schedule, and any day off I see as a problem unless I can be in the studio doing something. I try and have a vigorous work sched- ule that keeps me honest and keeps me running, like Im late for this, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, and that keeps me running towards the next thing rather than taking the leisurely route, which | think would not be good for me. Thats basically my attempt to keep things going. JT: So, whats your underly- ing goal, your motivation for all of this? HR: My underlying goal is about wanting to know. My curiosity is my _ propellant, my anger and my curiosity. My anger fuels my curios- ity, and my curiosity informs what I do onstage, what | write about and what visa gets slapped into my pass- port. For instance, George W. Bush keeps rattling the sabers at Iran, so I go to Iran to check it out for myself, knowing full well he ll never go, so Id better go for him, TE invented language, DIN so he can get the presidential daily briefing and if he ever needs me as a source, I can tell him what it was like to actually walk on the streets of Tehran. So, when he says ahh, I dont like Syria, I say, well, I'd better go to Syria. So, I went to Syria. It doesnt make me an expert, but I bet Ive spent more time in Da- mascus than he ever will. I hate when countries and peo- ple and cultures are just writ- ten off. Theyre all a bunch of. barbarians, ~ really? I'll bet that culture might have so. why dont you shut up? Its that, which. makes me want to go out there and see things and write about it, photograph it, do documentaries sometimes in these places, and want to know more. People say its really great in America. Is it great because we're really great, of is it great because ll we're taking from other countries, because _ other countries are having consis- tently awful days? Starving children, people who know famine and genocidal tribal conflict, etc., and as a respon- sible part of the human race, dont you want to push back at all that? This is what fuels me, gets me up, as.a 47-year- old guy with the option to not to a damn thing. I can also do nothin. | can just sit around and eat carbohydrates and watch The Sopranos, but thats not interesting to me. Its also not very brave. Im trying to be brave in this life and so this is what propels me, That is my chief motiva- tion. Its not money, its not fame. Its because I want to know. Youve only got a few laps around the track in this life, and a lot of people, they find their mate, they breed, they come home and watch - JOURNALI TE WESTERN CARC the news. Thats cool, but its not for me. JT: Youre accomplished at so many different skills. Youre a musician, a poet, a writer, | you have your own talk show and more. Which mode of ex- pression do you consider the most cathartic for yourself? HR: Well, it was the music that was always the most cathar- tic its loud, its physical, its very intense, so it would be the music. The funnest is the radio show, because its low impact and its just play- ing records and having fun. The most challenging is the talk shows, because theres no one up there but me. If I stop talking theres no show, so its a mental workout. m grateful for the opportunity to do it but its never easy. POR MORE INFO
