groups people point religious
There are a lot of religious groups that set up tents there. It's important for these young people to know there is an alternative point of view.
areas concerned fast few signs starting
We're starting to see a few signs of areas of concern. I'm concerned we don't go too far, too fast here.
men
I take the stage as a man in his fifties and walk off the stage like a man in his twenties.
joy
The live concerts are still one of the two greatest joys of my life.
american-entertainer excelled ourselves stage
It is something we have always excelled at and prided ourselves at - the excellences of our stage performance.
adjust american-entertainer apart believes core facade hard perceived public wearing
Sometimes that mantle is hard to adjust to wearing but we are at a stage that we are comfortable with it and we recognize how we are perceived and how the real core individual that each one of us has apart from the facade that the public believes that we are.
delivered load parts sitting truck
I've got some parts that should have been delivered before 12 o'clock and I'm still sitting here with a truck load of parts.
art perspective may
Originality is another criterion of aesthetic value. We may formulate an originality principle, according to which highly valuable works of art provide hitherto unavailable insights.... Notice that, although originality is a necessary condition of high aesthetic value, it is far from a sufficient condition. Many original works have little or no aesthetic value. An artwork may present a novel but uninteresting perspective, or one that is original but wrong.
guitar goes-on playing-guitar
I'm into playing guitars, not into figuring out what else goes on with them.
ambitious should
I guess I should be more ambitious about practicing, but when I'm out on the road, that's about all I do.
pace littles energy
I don't quite have the energy for extra curricular activities. I have to pace myself a little bit more.
song couple writing
I'm a good collaborative writer. I can usually come in and add a couple lines to something, and add a riff or a B-section, or a bridge that will tie things together. I can do stuff like that. But to write a whole song, I don't have the patience for that, I guess.
light shining musical
And I said - Styx - as a musical group it is our place to reflect the light that is shining on us back onto this place and say - this is where so much great stuff started.
pain excess destructive
All pain is per se and especially in excess, destructive and ultimately fatal in its nature and effects.
