It was all devastating. I'd never dealt with losing anyone close to me, and I didn't know where to put it in my life. I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time. ↗

With our technology, with objects, literally three people in a garage can blow away what 200 people at Microsoft can do. Literally can blow it away.

Why do musicians give so much time to charitable causes? The most humanitarian cause that we can give our time to is the creation and performance of music itself. ↗
