I'll be forever grateful to this instrument for being the surfboard that I rode the wave of life on

For me, love is an enhanced state of kindness, compassion, service, respect, and humility, an emotion I feel we are all here to give and to receive.

In rock 'n' roll, as we all know, the image is that it's one big party. But many times the reality is that it's the furthest thing from the party.

But you've got the money and the connections, and the choices are not always the healthiest.
