“It was difficult, but it was also rewarding. When you have a chance to see kids get better, everything makes it all worth it. All I wanted was to try to make a difference in my life and have a legacy in some way, but for something I had done in someone else's life.” WayTryingDoneKidsWantedDifficultDifferencesChanceLegacyGet BetterMaking A DifferenceWorth It Author:Paul Brandt
“Both of my parents are music teachers. My mother owns the school that I taught in. My brothers and sisters are musicans. My mom pushed me all the time. She knew that I could do it. She knew more than I did. She thought I would go somewhere. She gave me the job and helped me get equipment, which a lot of parents don't do. Alot of my students had to go out and fight for it.” SchoolJobsMotherFightingParentTeacherStudentsTaughtBrotherMomMy MomMy BrotherEquipmentBrothers And SistersMusic Teacher Author:Randy Rhoads

“I'm not quite sure. Probably because "Hanky Panky" and "I Think We're Alone Now" had more to do with it than anything else. For some reason, staccato eighth notes on a bass sounded like bubblegum. Basically, groups like the 1910 Fruitgum Co. took my early format and kind of perverted it, and made these mindless pre-fab hits over and over. In the 60s, anybody who was making commercial music, that is music that didn't have a political slant to it, or wasn't taking drugs, was bubblegum. And that term kind of hung on a lot of people back then, and it's unfortunate.” PeopleThinkingKindMadeReasonPoliticalTermGroupsDrugNotesUnfortunateHungBassFormatMindlessCommercial Music Author:Tommy James
“I think everybody did their share of experimenting in the 1960s with drugs. My story is real simple. I was taking amphetamines in the late 60s and I was addicted to them. I don't necessarily know the why. I'm sure at the time I could've told you six different reasons why I was doing it. But, in the end, all of that stuff, all chemicals will hurt you.” ThinkingKnowsDifferentRealEndsReasonStoriesStuffHurtSimpleShareDrugSixLateReason WhyChemicals1960sAmphetamines Author:Tommy James
“I was just burnt out. I didn't like the music business and I didn't like me. There's an element of falseness about the whole thing. Even things like doing an interview. It's not as though we just met in the pub and are having a chat - it's part of a process. If you do it all day, every day for years, you end up thinking: 'Who the hell am I?' I was lucky enough to make some money, enough to let me kick back. It was a great experience and it was nice to have a couple of No.1s but the best thing about it was that the money I made allowed me to have freedom and choice in my life.” IfsThinkingYearsMadeEndsEnoughWholeChoicesProcessHellNiceCoupleMetsLuckyElementsLet MeLike MeBest ThingsKicksInterviewsMusic BusinessPubsGreat ExperiencesBurnt OutFalseness Author:Rick Astley
“Allegiance to Jesus and loving the truth are primary truths (2Thessalonians 2 v10). The Body of Christ must tolerate all religions in the sense of greatly valuing the dignity of their people and religious liberties. They possess great dignity before God. Yet, we are not willing to let them go to hell by refusing to love them and tell them the truth about Jesus. A false application of tolerance is foundational in the movements that lead to the harlot religion.” PeopleBodyJesusChristReligiousLibertyHellMovementWillingDignityTolerancePrimariesApplicationTolerateAllegianceGo To HellReligious LibertyBody Of ChristHarlots Author:Mike Bickle

“The foolish took their lamps, but took no oil (pursued ministry as their priority over getting oil). The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps (pursued oil as their priority before ministry). At the dark midnight hour of history, the Spirit will raise up forerunners who cry out that Jesus is coming as a Bridegroom God and that we must go out to meet Him (make the necessary effort to encounter Him).
