(397 votes) The curious beauty of African music is that it uplifts even as it tells a sad tale. You may be poor, you may have only a ramshackle house, you may have lost your job, but that song gives you hope. African music is often about the aspirations of the African.Nelson Mandela

(368 votes) We have a set list, but we work up a lot more (songs) than we're gonna do. That way we can throw things in and change it around, especially if we're in a place for two days.

(367 votes) We enjoy playing with each other, which I think is a pretty important part of this. If we didn't, we'd have given it up a long time ago. The idea when we started was to take five people and keep 'em together no matter what and see what we could get out of it, and we've pretty much stuck to that plan.Tom Petty

(338 votes) I enjoy writing to Mozart's Requiem Mass; and the Kyrie with an energy and beauty that on occasion has moved me to tears. And upon it's completion I lay upon the bed as if in a post coital perplexity. By the end of the chef-d'oeuvre I'm in curious shape. To put into words the sounds that reach into the depths of me I cannot. To put into words the sentiment, and fervor, joy, anguish, humor, and love; the ignis fatuus, I cannot, but only be amazed each and every time.Greg Evans
