As an example one of the schools I have been studying is too small to compete effectively in most sports but participates with vigor each year in the state music contests.

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all but when I got home it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s after my music career got going.

My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries about Scrabble players bands that play quiet unassuming music and TV shows that win awards. In that way I am an elitist snob.

I think having a vision can make someone an influential man. I'm not talking about acting or anything like that I'm talking about people I admire whether it's a writer or a musician or a sports figure or a politician whatever.

I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.

Music has done a lot to enhance the emotions of sports. It's played in arenas. Whenever there is footage cut together they're always using music. And it goes together you know.

Sports without music it's nothing but a game. Music adds the emotion.

Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.

We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash and that seeps into people's musical taste.
