I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.
I am no longer afraid of becoming lost, because the journey back always reveals something new, and that is ultimately good for the artist.
Artist - musicians, painters, writers, poets, always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.
In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.
Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.
Well so, here I am at the end of the roadWhere do I go from here?
The good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
If you make music for the human needs you have within yourself, then you do it for all humans who need the same things. You enrich humanity with the profound expression of these feelings.
Artists - musicians, painters, writers, poets - always seem to have had the most accurate perception of what is really going on around them, not the official version or the popular perception of contemporary life.
We didn't start the fireBut when we are goneWill it still burn on and on and on...

They say that these are not the best of timesBut they're the only times I've ever knownAnd I believe there is a time for meditationIn cathedrals of our own.
