Some children's music is aimed just at kids, and it can be very childlike.

People are used to music that justifies street culture but something that's not touched on is why these kids act the way they act, live the way they live.

After every concert, I greet young people in the lobbies. And I see a huge surge of young people playing music.

If my musical tastes are continuing to grow up, and I am not really too interested in the music that my kids listen to, then I assume that the audience is doing the same.

When it comes to the video channels and the programs, the radio stations, the music is geared towards kids, and it's made by kids.

When playing any song in front of an audience, you're watching them experience it, and it changes. In a lot of ways, it's almost like the music is just the background buzz to what's happening between you and the audience in the room.

I think music needs to be presented in a way so that kids can grasp songs, dances, simple music that's associated with some particular defining moment in human experience.

Music is a performance and needs the audience.

For hundreds of years, that was the major form of entertainment: The grown-ups sat around and watched the kids play. Now they sit around and watch the television. The actors are the kids.

What do kids do? They go to movies, and they go to rock concerts.
