It's wonderful to read interviews by old blues guys - they talk about all their influences, they talk about who taught them how to play, and who they saw, and how they were determined to play that way.

Even if you don't believe in God, exploring fully the idea of a God or Gods should pose no threat to you.

Personally, I think Jesus would like better bands.

To me, music was about being accepted and escaping from this crummy existence.

I put up with the music business because I understand that I'm in the tradition, I'm in a tradition that's of far greater importance than the business I seem to be in. Everywhere I go in the world, people ask me about the business that I seem to be in, but I'm not really in that business.

In my Corgan brain, I've decided it's almost as simple as 'All you need is love.' Almost.

Live simply; make compassionate choices when it comes to food.
