If it is true that we have a personal relationship with God, then that's enough for me.

I've seen a study in the last year that digital sound actually induces stress in the listener.

Listen, the story of the United States is this: One kid, without anything, walks out of his house, down the road, with nothing but a guitar and conquers the world. And we've done that again, and again, and again – Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Rogers, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters.

We live in an age lit by lightnin'; after the flash, we're blind again.
