The guardians of history are soon rewarded with history themselves.
I don't remember where we found the phrase. Perhaps we read it, or dreamed it out of the air; it seemed prescient. We wanted to honor those who gave us inspiration, and to find the many ways music can become art: rhythm and melody, drawing and poetry and film. And we hoped by word and deed to inspire. Our greatest compliment is that none of the artists who drew from our well would sound like us, inhabiting their own inner universes.
We share this milestone moment of Horses' lifeline in the Brooklyn of my mother's birth, where Patti met Robert Mapplethorpe, and where Bobby Fischer first learned his knight's gambit. Our great privilege and honor.
-Lenny Kaye
