Stauros
By Definition - A wood stake in the ground
To cause tourture or death
Stauros
Perhaps someone lied
About the way that someone died
The more stuff I write
And you write a lot of stuff
The closer I come to my own destination
What's your definition of your own destination?
I would say it's the complete owness of the spirit of God
and the knowledge of the Truth
Larry has been so kindness to help me
With a lot of things I haven't quit
Having a strong grip on
There's a lot of temptation out in the world
And it can confuse you
And get you out and keep you from the Truth
But with a loving brother like that you do alright
So you are a loving brother, aren't Mr. Graham?
I try to be
And are you being successful in that work?
I feel so, we have a very close relationship
We spend a lot of time getting time into the Truth
To gain more knowledge
And get closer to the Creator
And that is very important
You become closer to people around you live and love you
So working with the Artist is more than making music?
We are connected heart-to-heart
And then after the heart comes the music, which is a gift.
But we are connected heart-to-heart
We played music with other musicians
He's done that, I've done that
Now that's a special time in our lives
To have a chance to play with people we really care about
And you always follow him in his specific ideas?
Well, he allowed me Freedom of Thought, Freedom of Expression, you know?
Why are you laughing?
Well, I'm actually smilling
Cause it makes me feel happy
But for example,
When The Artist says:
"I celebrate the Day I Die" idea
Can you follow him completelly?
Well, each day is a special gift from God
Beeing the source of life
And yesterday is kinda the past
Yesterday did die
When you look forward to tomorrow
The middle of the goal is looking forward
And try to look back
We can learn from things we did in the past
We make some mistakes specially
Gain wisdom by applying the knowledge that we gained in the past
And than it helps you to have a successful future
So we're always looking forward
And not only in the spiritual life
But the family life, and also in our music
Always streight ahead
Once a person have a firm grip off
Life and death, and I fully understand both
For example, you have how many birthdays?
Maybe, what do you think?
Well, I know you have only one birthday
We were born on a certain day
You have no more birthdays
So I don't celebrate birthdays
So that stops me from counting days
Stops me from counting time
Which allows me to look the same I did
Ten Years Ago...
Flashback over the years
Are you the same man?
Ahm.. I don't think so
I'm constantly trying to
Work on mind, home being
Better myself, and the world around
You are also a Jehovah's Witness now?
AH Yes
How that changed your life?
Immenselly
I started studding the Bible
Once i changed my name back
And started studying with
my great friend Larry Graham
He used to play in the Sly and the Family Stone
And he helped me to
Just look at the Bible in a very practical way
And cut trough all of the dogmas
And the things kinda separate in first place
I just wanted a clean, simple approach to God
It helps with your music as well?
Well, definitively I think
It helps you in very aspects
Once you can clean out ????
Then you start to see everything a bit more clear
Thank you so much
Awards are wonderful
But all praise and glory is
To the True God Jehovah
We have a black president now?
Hum, I don't vote
I have nothing to do with this
I've got no dogs on that race
And for those who would cuss me
out and slaps me, if I didn't ask you why?
The reason why, is that I'm one of the
Jehovah's Witnesses and we never vote
That's not to say that I don't think
Barack Obama is a smart individual
He seems like.. he means well
Profecy is all we all have to go by now
I was pretty wild in my younger days
But
You don't have to do what I did
You don't have to make any the mistakes I made
The future is in your hands now
The world is really yours!
