There is a power in music that simply refuses to die out, despite the crisis of the record industry, free downloads, ring tones, every one complaining that there is no music culture like there was in the 70s anymore blah blah blah. This is Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro for the Rolling Stones show. More than a million people!

We must tend to the source of that power, and let our tradition share in it, drink from it and be renewed. It is essential.
