A lot of people that embark on spiritual endeavors tended to, especially in the '60s and '70s, they tended to give up what they had before and cut themselves off from their lives, previous life as it were. But, I don't think that one should do that. |
But I also believe that the best help is self-help. |
Even if we are dead we help each other in some little way. |
Good rock music always tends to be around. |
I don't like people telling me what to do, or trying to MAKE me write songs. |
I love playing live now more than ever. I enjoy it, I think it keeps you young. |
I think people are turning inward more now cause the world's got in such a weird, crazy state. I think its making people think more about their life and what it is really that they are doing. And how do we interact with a world that's going crazy? It's a very important time. |
I think that things happen for a reason. |
I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It's just a weakness that we human beings have for control - we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more. |
I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality. |
I want people to be entertained and have a good time as well as that there being an undercurrent message hopefully that might be helpful to people. |
In a way, I don't think that in the end when you look back over the work - I think the work is more important. I'm very happy that I was able to be a major collaborator in such a great body of work. And obviously the majority of the writing was Ray, but I think it was a little bit sad that I didn't get credited with more input on a lot of the important songs. |
It's a little harder to work; wherever you look, you have conversations breaking out in clusters of two or three. But we're right where we've been for months: We don't know who's going to own us. |
My perspective is that you should be IN the world, but not OF the world. |
People that have had genuine abduction experiences that I've met that seem very genuine to me, but they're just confused about why it happened. I've met a lot of people like which I regard as being very genuine... but there's a lot of crazy people out there. |
