A whole generation of veteran composers has never taken a stand or provided an example and has produced in the music academies generations of docile workers for the music industry. What can you expect from downtrodden workers who see music as a type ...
After 12 intense years of rock music, I was happy to get away from making a record and going out on a tour. When I did it, I wanted to feel inspired. After a while I finally had my fill working on other people's music, and I started coming up with mu...
Oh, I think country has changed tremendously. I think country has totally changed. Country music when I was a kid was Hank Williams. If you put Hank and Elvis together, there wasn't that musical difference. But as the Beatles showed up and the Englis...

I think music can definitely be art; I also think music can be crap and not be art.
Embrace courageously the challenging beauty of life.
Be a light of hope in the landscapes of a soul.
Play the music that best describes you Make the music that comes from your Heart.
Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.
