Dad Quote by Flea

Turning 50 is a little bit of a 'taking stock' moment. I feel probably a little dumber. I don't think I'm as sharp as I was when I was younger, but I'm definitely wiser and less likely to make gigantic blunders of an intellectual, spiritual, emotional or physical type.

I was raised to think that rock was music for ignorant people who didn't think for themselves.

Music is made up out of these building blocks. Studying how these blocks go together and what they consist of and the math of how it works - it's all the same stuff; it's just different aesthetics that we're talking about.

A big part of my life is music education because it changed my life - but arts, academics and athletics should all be equally treated in the school.
