Those are some pretty awesome interviews. I think most musicians who perform
with a lot of pageantry do so because that's what they feel is expected of
them. Its nice to hear someone say that music isn't theater, and you can
just get up there and pour your heart out as opposed to acting like you are
pouring your heart out. Very insightful, thanks.
