David Sanborn interview and introduction of Sun Ra and his Arkestra on "Night Music" in 1990. The band features John Gilmore, Marshall Allen, June Tyson, etc. For me, NM was and remains the best music show on US TV thus far.

Sun Ra has taught me that you don't need drugs or booze to attain to higher spiritual levels. All you need is to allow yourself to be yourself and to be aware of the perpetual presence of the Creator in all things. Sometimes we can't escape prisons that others enforce on us, but we must be mindful that life is a temporary way-station between our intergalactic and multiple universal sojourns
