I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.

Listening. That's what music is about. You hear it. And I'd listen to it and something would move me one way or another; and I would try and play it.

What we need is something, a definition of a human, starting from the ground up, so that the suitable moral structure that goes around it makes sense. The context has to come from the human first, rather than bits and pieces of fragments of old religion and all of the old moral superstructure, whatever it used to be.

Music is more objective, I think, than a lot of art is, but a surprising amount of it is cultural.

We were very fortunate to have a a little time in history when LSD was still legal and were able to experiment with drugs just like we were doing with music.

In this universe the top end is light and the bottom end is real hard stuff.

Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.
