I don’t care what you say about me. Just spell the name right.
I am not the opposite of theism. I am right in the middle of those non-believers and believers. It’s not even about being agnostic or nastik. Why would I take a name given to me by my opposition? I am just a rationalist.

So many use dad’s name, saying ‘Johnny Cash would not like this’ or ‘Johnny Cash would do this’ or ‘Johnny Cash would vote for… ‘ Please, let his actions speak for who he was: A simple, loving man who never supported hate or bigotry.

Soul music is true to its name. It’s music that connects to your soul, your spirit. When music resonates with people’s spirit like that, when people can emotionally connect with something or it helps to heal them, transform them, that never goes out of style.
