good love music words worry
I love writing for dancers. You don't have to worry about the lyrics. I think to write words without music must be so frustrating. It must be always be so good, so perfect.
I'm pretty indiscriminating, and I have awful taste, generally.
I thought I had a talent for alienating people, but I have no idea what it is that doesn't go over.
I guess you deal with what you get.
dressing half hide likes love music time wow
I'd love to give my music to someone who really likes to wow the crowd. I feel like half the time I just want to hide in the dressing room!

If we went back to the basics of vegetables, legumes, grains - the things closer to the Earth - it's a lot better for the Earth and for other people. We can feed more people, we can feed the starving people.
gotten overall
If you look through the century, certain things have gotten better and certain things have gotten worse. I wouldn't say overall that things have gotten better. I think you could say things have gotten worse, but I don't think you could say that things have gotten better. Overall. You can't say that.
