song years people
I once asked Ozzy Osbourne, truly one of my favorite people in the world, if he was cool with singing Black Sabbath songs year after year, whether he was performing with Black Sabbath or out on a solo tour. He said it was great.
kids parent support
Kids need parents who love and support them unconditionally, full stop.
country thinking america
I think that America certainly has racism, I think that any industrialized country does. But when you see how many million fans Barack Obama has who are not black, it would lead one to the conclusion that millions of Americans are in fact not burdened by the albatross of racism.
change-is-good change-is-hard hard
Change is hard, but change is good.
new-york labels embodiment
What does New York sound like? For me, the Charlie Parker at the Royal Roost recordings on the Savoy label are the total embodiment of the New York music experience.
war life-is very-sad
War is very sad and small life is pathetically fragile at times.
numbers life-and-death body
Spending time in Calcutta [India] really did a number on me. The way life and death are almost the same thing, the way poverty is dealt with, the sheer number of dead bodies you see, it's all pretty overwhelming.
musician actors
There's no rule that you have to like Henry Rollins the musician or the actor.
way actors found
So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.
skills ideas impact
Most poets are elitist dregs more concerned with proving their skill with a dictionary than communicating ideas with impact.
ducks america long
'Duck Dynasty' is a ridiculous show, and long may it wave. America and democracy will endure. They've seen a lot worse.
cds information
Technically speaking, there is no music whatsoever on a CD. Lots of information, but no music.
library united-states states
The public library system of the United States is worth preserving.
thinking world needs
I think Americans really need to start thinking globally. As resources become more dear, we will be pulled closer to the rest of the world anyway.
