Accepting Quote by Moby

“Look not too long in the face of the fire, O man! Never dream with thy hand on the helm! Turn not thy back to the compass; accept the first hint of the hitching tiller; believe not the artificial fire, when its redness makes all things look ghastly. To-morrow, in the natural sun, the skies will be bright; those who glared like devils in the forking flames, the morn will show in far other, at least gentler, relief; the glorious, golden, glad sun, the only true lamp—all others but liars!”

What I love about making albums in the 21st century is that so few people buy albums! I can make an album without any commercial concerns whatsoever.

Factory-farm lobbyists are so powerful and so well funded and they do everything in their power to hide the truth about farming. They keep the farms and slaughterhouses in places that most people never visit; they execute huge marketing campaigns in an effort to make animal production look like a happy, nice, benign institution.

What makes me feel old is having no hair on the top of my head.

Up until I started working with him, I had thought that music was a nice thing that I enjoyed and liked making, but it wasn’t a serious healing modality. What Dr. Sacks has proven is that music is actually a quantifiable, profound healing modality.

I'm obsessed with politics, and I talk about it any chance I can get. I have strong opinions about how the world should be run.

As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind

Even love is goin' 'round. You can't ignore what is goin' 'round
