"Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what colour we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same." ___ John Denver

"I've managed to avoid tattoos so far." - Mick Jagger
By the way... Does anybody know what Ian Andersons opinion is on tattoos? I have never got one, simply because I believe that it's highly likely that I will hate it sometime in the future... My brother has a lot of them, and that's okay, but I just don't like the idea about something that I can't remove it in the morning...

A traditional Zen Story – Is That So?“There was a Zen Master who was very pure, very illumined. Near the place where he lived there happened to be a food store. The owner of the food store had a beautiful unmarried daughter. One day she was found with child. Her parents flew into a rage. They wanted to know the father, but she would not give them the name. After repeated scolding and harassment, she gave up and told them it was the Zen Master. The parents believed her. When the child was born they ran to the Zen Master, scolding him with foul tongue, and they left the infant with him. The Zen Master said, “Is that so?” This was his only comment. He accepted the child. He started nourishing and taking care of the child. By this time his reputation had come to an end, and he was an object of mockery. Days ran into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. But there is something called conscience in our human life, and the young girl was tortured by her conscience. One day she finally disclosed to her parents the name of the child’s real father, a man who worked in a fish market. The parents again flew into a rage. At the same time, sorrow and humiliation tortured the household. They came running to the spiritual Master, begged his pardon, narrated the whole story and then took the child back.” His only comment: “Is that so?” "I just love this story, I hope you like it too..." - Equus

"I know you are astounded at my lack of commiseration, but you must not yield to this feebleness! Truth and right can never be obtained by the weak. You are a great warrior, a proven winner. Cast off this faintheartedness! Stand up! O scorcher of enemies!" - Krishna to Arjuna/The Bhagavad Gita ...It's always possible to find a reason, for playing a good tune...
... Just a few words about what Krishna is saying to Arjuna. Krishna is not advocating war against an external enemy. Krishna is asking Arjuna to fight the lower aspects of himself. He is asking him to defeat, the enemy within...
