“I remember once I asked Wayne (Shorter) for the time,” Miller told (Shorter biographer Michelle) Mercer. “He started talking about the cosmos and how time is relative.” Miller and Shorter were waiting somewhere – an airport, a train station, a hotel. The band’s (Weather Report) keyboardist, Joe Zawinul, who took charge of such matters as what the road crew was supposed to do and when, set Miller straight. “You don’t ask Wayne shit like that,” he snapped. “It’s 7:06 p.m.”
