I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women doing a thankless daily but necessary job.
I was not afraid of the press or the militants. It was uncomfortable but I was not afraid. With respect to the press I knew I knew more than they knew about city matters. With respect to the militants I understood it. I mean everybody believed in those days that they were being screwed you know that somebody was getting ahead of them.
My dad was a musician it was just what he did like another guy's dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren't taken with the fact our dad was a musician.
