Dear Robert,

Like many, I have listened to and deeply admired your music for years. I was rather wondering if you’d be open for us to meet and talk about your work and about how you’ve thought about your role as a musician/artist who has been engaged in politics, but also what kind of new obstacles we are confronting today as artists, musicians, creators, in the face of a new economy and a different kind of politics from the one you knew when you began working as an artist in the ’60s.
