ornette addendum

was talking to the e last night. he hashed out an episode from one of the ornette biographies where ornette asked a doctor to castrate him. the idea was to free him from distractions so that he could more myopically dedicate himself to music. settled for a circumcision as a symbolic castration.

the only web evidence i could find is here. if anyone can source this, please let me know.
