Soooooo many quotes, but I’m at this point & it sticks out.

Good stuff. This one here is straight up Confucianism:

What would account for the songs being less good than they used to be?

The mentality of the people making the music. Producers now are ignoring all the musical principles of the previous generations. It’s a joke. That’s not the way it works: You’re supposed to use everything from the past. If you know where you come from, it’s easier to get where you’re going. You need to understand music to touch people and become the soundtrack to their lives. Can I tell you one of the greatest moments in my life?
