Music is the medicine of the mind.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

When I was a kid growing up in the '60s, music was an outlet for enlightenment, frustration, rebellion. It was more about individualism. Today it's just like a big business.

I have always thought music as a way out of the ordinary mundane obligations of life.

I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing.

Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.

Without the blues, modern music would be nothing like it is now - not remotely.

Music is always a commentary on society.

I used to think that music was like lace upon a garment, nice to have but not necessary. I have come to believe that music is absolutely essential to our community life.
