JM: I don't have synesthesia. And people—
BB: Okay. That’s the word on the street. Why would people fake that, about you then?
JM: Well people misinterpret my metaphors a lot, which is easily done. And I don't have synesthesia. I have probably some interpretive form of synesthesia. Synesthesia, by the way, some people have a clinical—I don't know if I'd call it a disorder, it’s a gift of sorts—whereby words and sounds actually are interpreted as colors in their brain. I have it, but not visually. I'm pretty close. I have relative synesthesia.
