I dont know if hell exists, but there sure as hell are some people who dont belong in heaven.
I'm more afraid of falling than I am of flying high. I'm not as scared of dying as I am of growing old. Every battle has its glory and its consequence.
It was a huge deal, a huge musical discovery that became life lessons learned. You can't return from having an experience like that. The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.
There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
