A Lot Of People Said To Me,

My Job In This Life Is To Give People Spiritual Ecstasy Through Music. In My Concerts People Cry, Laugh, Dance. If They Climaxed Spiritually, I Did My Job. I Did It Decently And Honestly.

My Reality Is That God Speaks To You Every Day. There's An Inner Voice, And When You Hear It, You Get A Little Tingle In Your Medulla Oblongata At The Back Of Your Neck, A Little Shiver, And At Two O'clock In The Morning, Everything's Really Quiet And You Meditate And You Got The Candles, You Got The Incense And You've Been Chanting, And All Of A Sudden You Hear This Voice: Write This Down. It Is Just An Inner Voice, And You Trust It. That Voice Will Never Take You To The Desert.

Bring The Brothers Home, And Sisters Home Now. Legalize Marijuana And Take All That Money And Invest It In Teachers And In Education. You Will See A Transformation In America.

Some Musicians, Man, You Hear The Note Almost Before They Hit It. Jimi, Coltrane And Charlie Parker Were Like That.

Most People Are Prisoners, Thinking Only About The Future Or Living In The Past. They Are Not In The Present, And The Present Is Where Everything Begins.
