Nothing that was worthy in the past departs no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies or can die.
Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance... poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music.
I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.
