It's made music more accessible with YouTube and the ability to trade audio files. But it hasn't made it more popular.
I'm not a lyric writer to make statements. What I enjoy doing is making paintings with lyrics, creating colorful images. I think that's more what entertainment and music should be.
To me, music shouldn't be ego-driven. When you go out on stage and play songs, it is. But when you're sitting in a room, writing songs, it's a completely different process. It's a completely different place. It's a creative place, a musical place. It...
'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minim...
I don't get in there and create a character. It's more of a voice that I hear living inside the music.
I never wrote music or arranged songs or lyrics when I was under the influence of anything but coffee. That's not gone away.
The focus on my wife and my children, it really helps me make sense of the music side of it somehow.
To a degree, rock fans like to live vicariously and they like that, music fans in general, but when indie music sort of came into prominence in the early '90s, a lot of it was TV-driven, too, where if you saw the first Nirvana video, you're looking a...
There's a lot of music that I don't like.
My first favorite band that made music important to me was the Beatles. I was a little kid. I didn't know who was singing what song or who wrote what song.
Radio and TV can still push a band, but things need to be shaken up. There is the Internet, but mostly what I see there is little kids on YouTube playing music.
It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.
Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.
My outlet is my music, and it's been this way since I was 4 years old.
I do read music, but I prefer playing from the heart.
The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.
I really just dabble in music; I really just did a few albums for my fans.
The iPod is a proprietary integrated product, although that is becoming quite modular. You can download your music from Amazon as easily as you can from iTunes. You also see modularity organized around the Android operating system that is growing muc...
I want to make music, I want to act, I want to sing, I want to do something that doesn't make my skin erupt.
In terms of music, I can try anything I want, even something that doesn't work at all, because I'm not putting my career in jeopardy.
Some say because music is as much about personal expression as listening pleasure, sharing is integral to why songs have value in the first place.
