Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.
Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.
I'm inspired to do music. I really can't stop unless I stop being inspired.
It's that kind of in-born music thing - I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.

Even if I wasn't in music, even if my father was a carpenter, some guy in Jamaica would go 'You're just like Bob. You're just like your father.' That happens in Jamaica all the time.
Citizens of India, Pakistan, and Kashmir need to come together and make music.
