“All I know about music is that not many people ever really hear it. And even then, on the rare occasions when something opens within, and the music enters, what we mainly hear, or hear corroborated, are personal, private, vanishing evocations. But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for that same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours.” PeopleKnowsMenReasonOrderMusicAirTerribleMusic IsHearingOccasionsTriumphRisingVoidImposingTriumphantVanishingRare Occasion Author:James A. Baldwin

“I never have a realistic sense of self. I either think everything I do is terrible and I'm the worst guy on the planet, or from time to time I'll think I'm the greatest gift to music and the coolest guy who ever lived, but that happens maybe an hour out of the week. Some days I'm more concerned with how my hair looks than what my guitar sounds like.” ThinkingLooksSelfHappensGuySoundHoursMusicWeekWorstPlanetsHairTerribleConcernedGuitarRealisticSense Of SelfGreatest GiftsGuitar Sound Author:Dave Navarro
