The usual problem with progressive rock is that the band can get so wrapped up in their own fantasy land that their music becomes completely inaccess… - Andrew Sega

I love philosophy. It's fascinating to try to discover how perception, or experience, or memory works. I've always been a diehard relativist at heart, and I find it very interesting to read other people's philosophical ideas and how they see the world through their particular lens.

Usually musicians have egos and personality quirks which makes it difficult to form collaborative efforts (for long periods of time, anyways).

I think [Britney Spears] is a perfect example of an artificial construct -- someone with a decent voice and a very marketable image, that producers and business people turned into a pop star. Unfortunately, I think it took a toll on her, mentally, and I feel bad for the trouble that success has brought onto her. However, her music is pretty disposable, and she doesn't have the intelligence and cultural impact of someone like, say, Madonna.
