Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
twilight watching a fox hole, and sit there wrapped in a blanket
imbibing the quiet spirit of the woods long into the dark, not
normal I was told". [Laughter]
MUZ MURRAY: Never have been normal.
TRIP: I can really feel what you must have been going through.
MUZ MURRAY: Yes. That sounds like part of my autobiography
that I'm in the process of writing, was that on my website?
TRIP: Yes, that's on your website.
MUZ MURRAY: Oh right, I'd forgotten.
TRIP: My gosh, though, I can't help but just marvel at your life.
After college you had this stint of selling shoes in a shoe shop, and
then you worked in an advertising agency, and then you set off to
see the world on this seven-year hitchhiking around Europe, and
you slept under the bridges of Paris with tramps, and you starved
in Spain.
MUZ MURRAY: Yes, not very romantic I can assure you.
TRIP: You then landed a job in Sevilla Film Studios painting the
set for King of Kings, which is like a classic film, and El Cid¸
another one, and you worked as a stunt man in the films
themselves, and there's a picture of you as an extra in King of
Kings. And then you, with some cash, you went to live on the
Costa Brava, wherever that is, and you became a member of a
group of surrealist painters and you breakfasted with Marcel
Duchamp, the celebrated Dadaist, and you cultivated a
relationship with Salvador Dali, who allowed you to watch him
paint in his studio for six months while you were there. I could go
on, and on, and on, your whole life is like that, it's amazing.
MUZ MURRAY: Yes, I'm in the process of writing a very fat book
about that. I've got about three lives in one already.
