I have a theory - if the music is good and you have good musicians, the name doesn't matter that much. There are a lot of examples of that. The name is just a calling card.

Until people see poetry as springing from all of life, they will isolate it in a creativity corner and treat it like a mascot.

We have the right to our own bodies.

I mean, what's eleven million people now days?
