Zorn @ 60: Still exploding boundaries and pushing possibilities. "To maintain such an output, Mr. Zorn has adopted a discipline that few could muster or tolerate. He lives alone in the same East Village apartment where he has lived since 1977 — with what is by all accounts a gigantically ecumenical record collection — and works constantly, eliminating distractions like magazines, television or, sometimes, people. “I have made extreme sacrifices to continue doing what I do,” Mr. Zorn said. “Anything that gets in the way of my focus to create gets cut out of my life. It’s not easy. Sometimes it’s family. Sometimes it’s friends. Sometimes it’s the ability to have a relationship.” nytimes/2013/07/14/arts/music/turning-60-john-zorn-sees-his-eclecticism-as-a-musical-norm.html
