Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works.
My hope is that this life is not all there is.

I think artists can influence only through making music that challenges people, excites them and flips them out.

Most minds think from A to B to G to O, or hold goals and ambitions to keep them going.
Music is always a reflection of what's going on in the hearts and minds of the culture.
