I think there are people who use music for all reasons. Just like they use painting or any other art for all reasons. I fell that politics to me has more of a secondary place in life because it changes, it shifts, it’s a back and forth. People believe this way one year the next year they believe something else. Politics is very unstable, but I think that sometimes it serves the purpose for some people temporarily, but I think that there is a higher concept. Its more a spiritual concept with me. I think music is a concept that is beyond… higher than that. I think this is the reason for it existing. I think its place is beyond that. People originally used music to worship by. I think that is a beautiful concept.
