Compassion is so much more than just 'feeling sorry for someone' or even being charitable to someone in need.  Compassion is co-passion, to sharing in someone else's suffering.  It's not compassion until you join them in their suffering and move from that starting point.

Jessica,

This is something I've spent a great deal of time thinking about.

As musicians and engineers, the first symptom is nostalgia.

As soon as you hear someone going on about "kids these days" or "music isn't what it used to be," cut them loose. They'll make you old.

When people start reverting to the music they loved in their late teens and early twenties, and saying that nothing "now" is as good, they're dying and they deserve their privacy.

either that or they've still retained a shred of taste..

I listen to music made BEFORE I was born, too..

Music can make me get right up out of my chair and start dancing or it can get me so pumped up I have to walk around the block.
It can also knock me back and make me sit there and cry like a little baby. This shit is as powerful as any drug!!! - Larry DeVivo

A father and son are walking along talking.

son: "Daddy, when I grow up I want to be a musician"

father: "well, you can't do both!"
