beautiful hip-hop important
I wouldn't want to hear Beethoven without beautiful bass, the cellos, the tuba. It's very important. Hip-hop has thunderous bass. And so does Beethoven. If you don't have the bass, it's like being amputated. It's like you have no legs.
beautiful thinking creating
But it's not only: What are you going to do about touring, it's: What are you going to do with your life? Is there a point to what we do? I think there is. Making music, creating beautiful things. We have to be in love with the good and the beautiful. If we are not, then you're in a nihilistic state.
beautiful running baby
Will none of the powers that be realize what Brian Wilson did with the chords. Deftly taking from all sources, old rock, Four Freshman, he got in his records a beautiful hybrid sound - Let Him Run Wild, Don't Worry Baby, I Get Around, Fun, Fun, Fun - 'and she had fun, fun, fun 'till her daddy took her T-bird away.'
beautiful fashion thinking
You do this because you like it, you think what you're making is beautiful. And if you think it's beautiful, maybe they think it's beautiful.

I like to think of us as Clearasil on the face of the nation. Jim Morrison would have said that if he was smart, but he's dead.

So all those kids out there who think mix and match is really great, you don't know what you're talking about, ... I'm a professional. I do this for a living.
work
Raymond Chandler managed to write about L.A. his whole career. Should I keep going writing about New York? Is that what I should be doing? Songwriting doesn't work that way.
cds chance music sound
The first generation of CDs sounded terrible. Any chance to remaster would make the music sound better than what was already out there.
business
I'm in this business for too long to be halfhearted about anything.
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.
foul illiterate limit low people retard seen
I read that script. It's one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen -- by any illiterate retard -- in a long time. There's no limit to how low some people will go to write something to make money.
amazing band depth experience musical
His amazing band contributes to one extraordinary experience of musical wit, depth and, most of all, beauteous heart.
album help pop
We once did an album with a pop painter, ... because we wanted to help him out.
