In practice
During a TED talk, one could use this quote to illustrate the importance of art in human experience.
I played in front of every conceivable audience you could face: an all-black audience, all-white, firemen's fairs, policemen's balls, in front of supermarkets, bar mitzvahs, weddings, drive-in theaters. I'd seen it all before I ever walked into a recording studio.
I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart _x000D_ _x000D_ Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts.
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell_x000D_ And I feel like I'm comin' home.
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.

With all the new media outlets out there, with all the noise, a voice of authority and calm like Vogue becomes more important than ever.

I want to enhance it, I want to protect it, and I want it to be part of the conversation.
When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.
Without music, life would be a mistake... I would only believe in a God who knew how to dance.
My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.
