I Hate The Solo Artist Aspect Of

Every Band Should Study Queen At Live Aid. If You Really Feel Like That Barrier Is Gone, You Become Freddie Mercury. I Consider Him The Greatest Frontman Of All Time. Like, It's Funny? You'd Imagine That Freddie Was More Than Human, But... You Know How He Controlled Wembley Stadium At Live Aid In 1985? He Stood Up There And Did His Vocal Warm Ups With The Audience. Something That Intimate, Where They Realize, 'oh Yeah, He's Just A F***ing Dude.'

No One Is You, And That Is Your Power.

The Thing That Will Never Go Away Is That Connection You Make With A Band Or A Song Where You're Moved By The Fact That It's Real People Making Music. You Make That Human Connection With A Song Like 'let It Be' Or 'long And Winding Road' Or A Song Like 'bohemian Rhapsody' Or 'roxanne,' Any Of Those Songs. They Sound Like People Making Music.

I Think Actually Singing The Words Is More Therapeutic Than Just Sitting Down To Write Them, Because Then You Are Letting It Out, And It's Coming From Your Gut.

Through Kurt I Saw The Beauty Of Minimalism And The Importance Of Music That's Stripped Down.
