“The Making of Song Cycle”

From the podcast Life of the Record : Van Dyke Parks and Richard Henderson on “The Making of Song Cycle.”

One choice VDP comment from this discussion of the 1967 LP: “I didn’t want to be approved of or screamed at in a concert — that is not my thing.” One more: “I didn’t go and buy real estate and cars. I put my money into orchestras.” And: “My fun meter, I’m telling you the truth, it’s on ten.” And: “Crow tastes fine.”
