| the same funeral they had for Duke Ellington… in a big church and the whole |
| country’s going to say, wow, he was so far out, you know what I mean?» |
| «No man, no big church! |
| I’m going to be buried man — I got my shit all figured |
| out!» |
| «You're going to get a big funeral — you’re famous!» |
| «Vedanta Society, India, I’m going to be buried in India!» |
| «I know, but you’re going to get a big funeral in this country, and they’ll |
| play your music for two days» |
| «Who's going to do that?» |
| «It's far out isn’t it, y’know what I mean?» |
| «…You want me to hurry up, man» |
| «No I don’t want you to hurry up, but in the future, I know you’re going to get |
| a beautiful funeral — I can see it!» |
| «But I got it all planned, man!» |
| «…You're going to be here many more years.» |
