SO!
All my life I have loved the association between the music of our times... and the events of our lives.
The enigmatic musical explora Peter Gabriel is a rock poet whose lyrics I have a real affinity with. There are many many others. Sting, Dylan, Buckley... the list is endless.
Here is just some of the quotes that provide an interesting read, and an interesting insight into the bards that have written and sung our lives.
If there are special quotes that you would like me to add to this evergrowing list please let me know!
