English - Musician | January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016
The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it.

I've started doing book reviews for Barnes & Noble! They saw that I did a lot of book reviews on the site, and they figured that it might not be a bad thing if they got me to do some for them as well. I gave them five categories I'd be interested in reviewing, from art to fiction to music.
