Jason Isbell, "There just can't be more of them than of us"...

Interviewer (Sam Jones): “By nature, you have to examine things more closely than the
average human being walking down the street and the gift from artists (like yourself) is that through this examination they can reflect humanity back at us… you can learn to be more empathetic or more understanding of the human psyche by the fact that you try to write really lean song about it?
” 

Jason Isbell: 
“… no, no, I think you are exactly right. That is why you should listen to good music and not listen to bad music. When I get angry about something being widely consumed and hugely successful that I think really sucks because it is so formulaic and corporate and bad.

That’s why it makes me mad and say we are all fine listening to whatever we want to listen to because I do think that there are some kinds of art that make you a better person. Whether you are consuming it or trying to create it, I think It helps you to build a better understanding of what other people are like inside themselves. 

Good music reminds you more of your similarities rather than your differences. And I think bad art reminds you so much of your differences… because you begin thinking, ‘I am not connecting with them. I am not because they are singing about things that I don’t care about but there are people out there who must care about it because they have sold 10 million records!’, so suddenly you begin to feel alienated.

There can’t be more of them than us. There is frustration there, but it is a question because I am not saying there are more of us than them. There just can’t be more of them than of us. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe there are…

  1. It took almost one year for my first real outbreak but it was the hardest thing in the world to get along with. I felt so unwanted and dirty. I tried many formulas, suggestions, methods to get rid of it permanently. Booked appointment with many doctors, professionals, even religiously until I started getting away spiritually and still it won't go. The worst is my outbreaks occurs within short period and take as long as even weeks to go away. I was at last placed on antiviral treatment which is a good treatment but for how long? I prayed every four times a day for God to cure me miraculously or direct me to cure because I know there is. During outbreaks I thought it's the end of the world but it's not, with time I will become normal again. I started trying fruits and herbs, take herbal produced, and with time became very interested in herbs. I read blogs, websites, and comments on herbs and built a stronger hope. I saw comments and decided to try Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal meds. I know of one mr Brown who was HIV and now brags he was cured of HIV with Dr Utu traditional meds but never give it a thought because I believed HIV already has a cure and never think it through or make a research. And for herpes my doctor told me that there is no known cure. When I saw testimonies of his Herpes cure on sites. I copied his contact drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. I showed it to brown who confirmed it was Dr Utu contact. I contacted him immediately and he also prepared and sent me herbal herpes meds through DHL. Right after getting this traditional meds I followed the prescription cautiously and withing days I started noticing rapid change and I know within me it's the cure. I used it for up to two weeks and when my test result was out not only did this herbal meds cure me but boost my immune and I feel real and free. Dr Utu African Traditional meds have successfully cured Herpes, Warts, HIV, Cancers, Kidney Stone, Asthma, most importantly this traditional meds boost immune and have no after effect.
