50 percent of the people I perform for have come to scream at me and the other 50 percent have come to listen to the music.

Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion.
