Yeah, same here. I'm glad that people love music and are willing to put
themselves behind what they believe. In principle, anyway. But then
again, in principle we believe it's a good idea that people who think
Elvis is living with Hitler on Mars are allowed to vote.
This list is incomprehensibly stupid, and so are the people who put it
together. Congratulations on a fanstastic anti-marketing ploy, halfwits....

You may have success in life, but then just think of it -
what kind of life was it? What good was it - you've
never done the thing you wanted to do in all your life.
I always tell my students, go where your body and
soul want to go. When you have the feeling, then stay
with it, and don't let anyone throw you off.
