There was nothing to fall back on as to how do you write about this kind of music, so people were trying absolutely everything with a great sense of freedom and experimentation and success and failure, and a feeling of, â€œMy God, people are actually paying attention to this. Letâ€™s pretend they arenâ€™t because we donâ€™t want to be intimidated by what somebody might think of what weâ€™re saying."

Instead, I suggest that we think historically about a young Jew, possessed of a desperately risky, indeed apparently crazy, vocation, riding into Jerusalem in tears, denouncing the Temple, and dying on a Roman cross-and that we take our courage in both hands and allow our meaning for the word â€˜godâ€™ to be recentered around that point.”
