music journey thinking
I think the labyrinth is an interesting metaphor for our lives as musicians. We're always being drawn toward the center of it because that's where the mystery is. What is music? It's a journey.

There's no religion but sex and music.

Yoga introduced me to a style of meditation. The only meditation I would have done before would be in the writing of songs.

I think I've always had a sort of fantasy or dream that I would like to make a living playing music. It seemed to be the most noble thing I could imagine. I had no idea how it was done but I always had this belief that music, no matter who you were playing to, was always going to be nourishing to me.

I quite like mistakes. I think they're human.

Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run
crazy men get-better
Men go crazy in congregation. They only get better one by one.
children rain mean
If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.
