Musician Quotes

I remember when A love Supreme was released - I heard it at a friends house. ... Man it was incredible. That record sounded different than the rest.

My identity shifted when I got into recovery. That's who I am now, and it actually gives me greater pleasure to have that identity than to be a musician or anything else, because it keeps me in a manageable size. When I'm down on the ground with my disease-which I'm happy to have-it gets me in tune. It gives me a spiritual anchor. Don't ask me to explain.

It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal.
