Terence Blanchard: Requiem for Katrina
But I also believe we carry our own vibrations. So I thought, maybe I need to carry my vibrations through these halls, because it's the people, the community that is going to change the world. It's how we react to events. And what we have to remember is that, in a sense, we are allowing these leaders to do this. They are very crafty at pulling the wool over our eyes in order to make us believe things, making us scared of the ghost in the dark that doesn't even exist. But at the same time, we have the power to make change. We really do.
This interview will be included in the future book publication by Lloyd Peterson, "Wisdom Through Music". He is also the author of the book, "Music and the Creative Spirit".
