    And he’s writing it on like an Apple 2, so like a good 30 minutes is spent waiting for his machine to boot up. By the time it does, he probably forgets that he was gonna do it.

      I can’t tell if this is satire or real, because I know artists do weird things to get in the right zone.

        He absolutely does. Supposedly it helps limit distractions. I don’t think it’s helping.

      Didn’t machines at that time take mere seconds to boot?

        There was nothing to boot! My mom has MSDOS on a whatever that was built sometime probably around 1989 or 1990. Had a big red switch, flick on, a couple of strange noises, a hello line of text, and then flashy cursor let you knew you were ready to play Jeopardy or Worms.
