The chef who cooks without a song on his lips cannot hope to infuse the right carefree improvisatory note into his art.

In the home of this music, alas, religious fanatics have lately started killing the musicians. They think the music is an insult to god, who gave us voices but does not wish us to sing, who gave us free will, rai, but prefers us not to be free.

Spoils both his words and his music.

And it looked extremely rude.

I hate singers, a miserable crew who think that music exists only in their own throats.
