BACK IN LONDON…

Aug 16 2011

…things have changed. People have changed. It is hard to understand what is happening, how to address it all and what to say to overcome fear and hate, generated by the proceeding disconnection between our lives. All I know is that we must try to be the best humans we can, at all times and especially in times like these. I want to be open-minded and open-hearted. I want to listen, not assume. I want to love and share, not hate and demonize. I want to learn and be curious, not afraid and satisfied with preconceived information. We all know so very little about why things are the way they are, we must take each others hand and trust; that in the end all most of us want is to live our everyday lives in peace, to love, to eat, to sleep and to have families.

Music is one of the most beautiful things we are able to create. A lot of it got destroyed last week. My radio show today will be dedicated to and composed of the artist and labels affected by the fire in the Sony Warehouse. Tune in if you feel like it. Today, 4-5 GMT.

But above all it is dedicated to the beauty humanity is able to create. Never forget it, never neglect it. Music seems like the only thing worth filling the silence we all need to think.

I love you human
