Twitter is definitely not the place to handle business per se.

I think your conversations are indicative of your tastes - even your diction.

I think that the best part of music is when it comes from a real place and has an ability to kind of connect on a much larger scale. It no longer is a personal thing, it becomes everyone else's thing as well.

At the end of the day, as a grown man, I don't really care what the sexuality of the next man is.
