From the back cover: It would be nice to report that Paul Winter had the wholesome, typical, usual kind of American, upbringing – born backstage at the old Roxy, between the acts of "The Drunkard," on the boards from the age of 18 months, alcoholic at five, marijuana addict at seven, autobiography at eleven, and dead in a Delahaye at 12 1/2. But no. Paul prepared himself for the concert stage by being born in Los Angeles and raised in Detroit, getting various degrees at the University of Michigan, teaching philosophy, working on an educational radio station and now as a disc jockey in Detroit. (He abandoned a Ph.D. thesis in the Philosophy of History because of a scarcity of rhymes for Aristotle.) Today, having survived the yearly model changes in Detroit, Paul has a wife, two small daughters a subscription to The Reporter, a green Plymouth, and an unquenchable curiosity and humor about world affairs. All affairs. From the hydrogen bomb to Kim Novak and back again. And forward again.

He has black crewcut hair, a  ball point pen, and I don't know whether or not he sleeps in pajamas.

It should not be thought that Paul is content with the accomplishment represented by his repertory of lieder and folk drama. His days are filled with happy labors. For example, he has announced his candidacy from the President of the next Geophysical Year; he is training to run a better-then-four-minute mile; he hopes to discover why human beings with tattoos on their hands, to a man, all smoke the same brand of cigarettes. When he has accomplished all these tasks, he hopes to do something really difficult, like changing a permanent needle. He is the finest type of young American male. His digestion is fairly good, as are thyroid, psyche, and the tender skin around the eyes. – Herbert Gold
