I think the most important thing about music is the sense of escape.
People in bands don't have the kind of conversations people might think they have. The best things about being in a band are the things that are unsaid.
One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.
