The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.

I love classic rock, rock and roll, that's the top notch. I love soul - bluesy music as well.

If my life had to be a song I would name it, 'Live every day like its your best day ever', because it pretty much is.

Music continues to remind me that its boundaries are limitless.

First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'.

Autumn flings her fiery cloak over the sumac, beech and oak.

The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions.

A man who has no mental needs, because his intellect is of the narrow and normal amount, is, in the strict sense of the word, what is called a philistine.

I don't set out to make a really hot shoe, I set out to make a product that is true to where I am.

We always question the bonafides of the man who tells us unpleasant facts.

Love thy neighbor as thyself because you are your neighbor. It is illusion that makes you think that your neighbor is someone other than yourself.

Commentating, illustrating, description giving, adjective expert, analyzing, surmising musical myth seeking people of the universe, this is yours.
