“I can pinpoint the moment when my first band recorded, when I was 14 and 15 years old. I always enjoyed writing songs and playing, but there was something about going in and capturing it that felt very Zen and perfect for me. A light switch went on and I just realized that's where my musical capacity was the most suited. I just followed on blind faith that that was like a calling for me.” WritingYearsFirstsI CanMomentsLightSongFeltPerfectCallingBandCapacityBlindMusicalEnjoyedWriting SongsBlind FaithJust RealizedPerfect For Me Author:John Congleton
“No language can fitly express the meanness, the baseness, the brutality, with which the world has ever treated its victims of one age and boasts of the next. Dante is worshipped at that grave to which he was hurried by persecution. Milton, in his own day, was "Mr. Milton, the blind adder, that spit his venom on the king's person"; and soon after, "the mighty orb of song." These absurd transitions from hatred to apotheosis, this recognition just at the moment when it becomes a mockery, saddens all intellectual history.” WorldPersonsMomentsAgeSongNextLanguageKingsIntellectualHatredVictimBlindGravesTreatedAbsurdRecognitionTransitionPersecutionBoastBrutalitySpitMockeryMeannessMiltonVenomBasenessOrbsApotheosisAdders Book:Literature and life, lects Source: Literature and life, lects
