All "Talks on the Island"

Recently I’ve released a tape called “Stop Trying to Hug Me”. And since I’ve put this tape out on the Internet on a web page, a few people have responded in an unexpected way. I thought the tape would have a bit of an effect, but I didn’t think at first that it would have that strong of an effect on people.

But what’s going on in you when you listen to it, comes from you, not from me.
