My life is full of broken halos.

Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.

I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards
Image
To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.
