Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Where words fail, music speaks. Music inflames temperament. Music is a safe kind of high. Music makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music. Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life. Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
