the thing about pessimism is that in most cases it's nothing more than a front behind which a body can hide its most sweetful yet painful hopes. please forgive mine.

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.

It's taken me to be an older guy, an old man, to have an old man's voice. Because I only liked old men's voices. As a kid, I didn't like pip-squeaked singers.

Only ask and you will get what you are needing, the rest is up to you.
