I think we musicians are emissaries. Every time we go before the public, we're there to make converts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing, to keep spiritually hungry and horny, that's what it's all about.
Ideally, musicians belong outside the Establishment. When they cross that line, it's like something in them has died.
I believe musicians have a duty, a responsibility to reach out, to share your love or pain with others.
In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God.
For too long, musicians have been the greatest enemy of music. Their lack of desire to proselytize is a kind of betrayal.
I think musicians are always very generous in promoting anything good they hear. It's just kind of in our nature.
These people are artists. These people are musicians. They're taking it out and trying to express it that way.
Well there is a lot of work here for younger and older musicians now. Our Ministry of Culture has now really embarked on changing things for artists, and it is getting much better. We just have to organize ourselves as artists, and then things will be better.
We're musicians; we're not politicians or anything.
We're musicians. We make music for a living. It's that simple. Nothing else matters.
