I wish to speak with all respect of persons, but sometimes I must pinch myself to keep awake, and preserve the due decorum. They melt so fast into each other, that they are like grass and trees, and it needs an effort to treat them as individuals.
Musicians don't respect a lot of the stuff that is on TRL and a lot of musicians think that stuff on the radio is not good musically so when musicians say that they like us it obviously feels good.

Whether we consider the individual, family, local, national or international level, peace must arise from inner peace.

Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.
