Those who will not dance will have to be shot.
The world thinks that music is a commercial commodity. I’m glad that is not my code.
I’m playing dark history. It’s beyond black. I’m dealing with the dark things of the cosmos.
And then when I went to Chicago, that’s when I had these outer space experiences and went to the other planets.

A world is in danger, this planet is in great danger!
Music is a language, a universal language.
Heaven is where you’ll be when you are okay right where you are.
