The challenge is to get everyone to respect music again, to recognize its value.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music can be healing, and with my history and my knowledge of both sides of what looks like a gigantic divide in the world, I feel I can point a way forward to our common humanity again.
If we have any hope for survival of the music that we all love, compassion must replace name-calling, fairness must replace greed, and we need to come together as a musical community and try to understand each other's problems.
Music is subjective to everyone's unique experience.
When someone pursues music through your music, that's the greatest accolade anybody can get.
I see everybody arguing about what the value of music should be instead of what I think the bigger conversation is, which is that music has value, it's subjective and we're moving to a new era where the audience is taking more responsibility for supporting artists at whatever level.
We're just beginning to learn the importance of music in our society.
Music is universal; it's healing.
When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups.
Everyone should pursue whatever is original in oneself. That's the way for a long life in music.
The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead.
