61 " Todos estamos en deuda con las mujeres que nos dieron la vida. Sin ellas, no habría música. "
― Dave Grohl , The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music
62 " Some people’s reminiscence is triggered by taste, some people’s by sight or smell. Mine is triggered by sound, playing like an unfinished mixtape waiting to be sent. "
63 " Precious Lord, Take My Hand.” Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I am weak, I am worn Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me home "
64 " But beyond any biological information, there is love. Something that defies all science and reason. And that I am most fortunate to have been given. It maybe the most defining factor in anyone’s life. Surely an artist greatest muse. And there is no love like a mother’s love. It is life’s greatest song. We are all indebted to the women who has given us life. For without them, there would be no music. "
65 " But with friends, you design your own relationship, which in turn designs your grief, which can be felt even deeper when they are gone. "
66 " Hearing a time-delayed full-throated sing-along ricocheting from the farthest rafters of a football stadium is an out-of-body sensation, one that becomes oddly addictive over time, echoing in a chorus of sublime connectivity. The open air, hitting you in gusts that give your hair a perfect Beyoncé blowout while you inhale the aroma of sweat and beer that sometimes rises from the crowd in a foglike condensation. The roar of fireworks above your head as you take your final bow and sprint to the room-temperature pepperoni pizza waiting in your dressing room. Believe me, it is all that it’s cracked up to be and more. I never fully embraced stadium rock until I experienced it from the lip of the stage, and to this day I have never taken a single moment of it for granted. It is an otherworldly experience, one that can be described in just two words: fucking awesome. "
67 " PORQUE, EN UN MUNDO LLENO DE BARBIES, TODAS LAS NIÑAS NECESITAN A UNA JOAN JETT. "
68 " I was almost embarrassed to admit the amount of coffee I would drink in one day, for fear that he would 5150 me and send me off in a straitjacket to the nearest Caffeine Anonymous meeting. "
69 " disfruto siendo el único tío de la fiesta que está más interesado en el espectáculo del descanso de la Super Bowl que en el partido. "
70 " (Upon arrival, Taylor broke into his best Bruce Springsteen impression, serenading me with the Boss’s classic anthem of the same name. The only thing funnier was the time he played the theme from Cheers on a piano in the middle of a crowded Costco.) "
71 " Lo único que hay que hacer es dejar que el universo se encargue, y yo se lo agradezco "
72 " And each instrument ages entirely differently. "
73 " Not that I was necessarily ready to put a down a deposit on a house in the Hamptons just yet, but I had finally graduated from generic cigarettes to actual Marlboros, and that made me feel like a fucking king. "
74 " My heart was filled with pride. Not just pride in Violet’s musical ability, but pride in her courage. Courage is a defining factor in the life of any artist. The courage to bear your innermost feelings, to reveal your true voice, or to stand in front of an audience and lay it all out there for the world to see. The emotional vulnerability that’s often necessary to summon a great song can also work against you when you’re sharing your song for the world to hear. This is the paralyzing conflict of any sensitive artist. A feeling I’ve experienced with every lyric I’ve sung to someone other than myself. Will they like it? Am I good enough? It is the courage to be yourself that bridges those opposing emotions, and when it does, magic can happen. "
75 " THERE WERE CERTAIN THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT I RELIED ON UNCONDITIONALLY AND IN WHICH I HAD UNWAVERING FAITH—THE LOVE OF MY MOTHER, MY LOVE FOR HER, AND THE LOVE THAT FILLED MY HEART WHEN I PLAYED MUSIC. "
76 " What you think, you become, What you feel, you attract, What you imagine, you create. "
77 " Those jagged record sleeves and distorted garage recordings that leapt out of Tracy's speakers had forced open a window to my soul, and I had finally experienced a connection that made me feel understood. Having always felt slightly removed from the norm, I never had anywhere or anyone to turn to for understanding and reassurance among my peers. "
78 " It was actually happening. I was watching MYSELF on MTV. Not Michael Jackson or the Cars. Not Madonna or Bruce Springsteen. No. It was Krist, Kurt, and me, playing a song we wrote in a fucking barn. Dalí’s melted clocks had nothing on this most surreal moment. "
79 " It’s not always the kid that fails the school. Sometimes it’s the school that fails the kid. "
80 " Pantera. "
