The stage is our pulpit,
and you can use all of that
energy and that music and
the lights and the colors and
the sound. But you know,
you’ve got to be careful.

The thing with me is, about that –
about rock and all that – years and
years of crate-digging, listening to
old music, you kind of start to connect
the dots. And I was seeing the thread
that was connecting everything together
, which is pretty much the blues.
And everything soul or funk
kind of starts with that.

I think it just takes one little
snowflake to start a snowball
to go down the hill. My contribution
and, say, Kendrick Lamar’s and
some chosen others’ start the snowball.
That’s all I can hope for. I don’t know if
I’m comfortable being quote-unquote a leader.

When I was young, I had an ‘aha’
moment in church. There was a
thing called testimony service,
and somebody would sing a song,
and everyone else would join in,
finding a note where they fit.
During one of those, a light went on
in my head. In that moment,
I heard everything – Parliament,
the Staple Singers, Curtis Mayfield,
Prince – in there.

Aretha Franklin was as important
to the civil-rights movement as
Malcolm X and Medgar Evers.
Artists can choose to take on
the tremendous amount of
responsibility we have,
or choose to ignore it.

The music business is a crazy game,
especially for somebody like me
who is really a purist about the art.
Trying to balance the pressures of
commercialism, it’s a tightrope.
It’s a fine line between sticking to
your guns and insanity.
