being indoctrinated uh-huh yeah and and in with really not not good ideas right but they don't know until they're able to that's what i was saying earlier about you know that's what music does i love a great example paul simon played a show in south africa just after apartheid he when he did the graceland album right he went down there and he
worked with local African musicians and created, in my opinion, one of the greatest albums of all time.
I mean, with Ladysmith, Black Mambazo doing the vocals on that, Vincent Nguini, the most incredible musicians.
That was a culturally powerful thing because there's a show online.

Or it may even be during apartheid.
And they're all dancing and bobbing up and down.
It's the most joyful thing ever.
It can bring people together.
But because what it does is it reaches everybody's heart and it cuts through all the bullshit, the mind stuff, you know, and everyone can relate to having their heart broken.
You know, maybe it happened for some at a young age.
Maybe some people had their heart broken at age four to the point where they closed their hearts off nearly completely.
But even Darth Vader had a little bit.
