quote from Jimi Hendrix
“You see, music is so important. I don’t any longer dig the pop and politics crap. That’s old-fashioned. It was somebody’s personal opinion. But politics is old hat. Anyone can go round shaking babies by the hand and kissing the mothers, and saying that it was groovy. But you see, you can’t do this in music. Music doesn’t lie. I agree it can be misinterpreted, but it doesn’t lie. When there are vast changes in the way the world goes, it’s usually something like art and music that changes it. Music is going to change the world next time.” —Jimi Hendrix, 1970

quote from Roger Waters

“I believe that every human being has an understanding of art. What is separating us is smaller than what is unifying us.” —Thomas Hirschhorn
quote from Willie Nelson
