Relax.
It's all about what touches people's lives directly.
Like it or not, music has that power to reach many people, and touch their lives directly, all over the world.
Other than smell, which is one of the 5 basic human senses, only music can instantly transport you to a time and place in your mind.
Music can bring together people from diverse lands and cultures. It connects people.
Music is very powerful. Short of being a politician, it's hard to ever touch the lives of quite as many people.
It may not seem like it to the outsider, but music & fame are not only remarkably powerful, but they're a huge weight, a responsibility, and a burden on the soul...especially to the sensitive [read: most artists].
It flat kills many.
Fame has hurt my family. Fame is actually one of the few things I'm truly afraid of in this life.
Fame is not a nice thing for most who experience it, and yet celebrity seems to be something that so many seek...
Scary. Sad.
