Any young, aspiring musicians out there, if music is what you want to do, if music is what you love and your passion. it doesn't take a fragrance, it's not about the tabloids, it's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, practicing your vocals, practicing your instrument, practicing songwriting. hopefully one day you write the song the whole world wants to get down to. i promise you, if you go out there and sing and you put your heart and soul into it and you follow your dream, one day you're going to be sitting next to ellen degeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the super bowl.

This is what they have suppressed so long. this is why they are so afraid of the psychedelics, because they understand that once you touch the inner core of your own and someone else's being you can't be led into thing-fetishes and consumerism. the message of psychedelics is that culture can be re-engineered as a set of emotional values rather than products. this is terrifying news.
