These are but a few of Ali's words. On a record, a hook is a phrase or two. But his narratives are hooks within hooks within hooks. When thanked for his time, Ali nods and says, "It'd be this or my wife would be listening to me talk anyhow."
Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color comes out September 18. We'll highlight more of this lengthy conversation this week at blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/brother_ali.
