I’m a businessman who puts up his own money, so I don’t have time to hear about emotion. I gotta get right to the point. I’m going to tell you the truth, I’m going to address the elephant in the room, and we’ll all move forward.
When I hear somebody sigh, ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’
If you hear a good song, it makes you hopeful like, ‘That is out there.’

It’s so critical for people frustrated with the economy, with changing tides in government, who aren’t able to hear their voices, questions or their ills being talked about, to have a place for discussing what others won’t.
I want an audience that we might call a pop audience. Cross over to pop. Cross over to R&B. And bring those people to Brubeck and Chick Corea, you dig? A lot of people found Dave Brubeck and Chick Corea because they came to hear ‘We’re in This Love Together’ and ‘After All.’

Well, I’m a runner, and I have to run with Secret Service – even though they can run twice as fast. It took me a while to get used to running with them, because I love the solitary aspect of it. So I have two rules. First, I can’t hear their feet. And second, I can’t see their shadows.
The game is if the orchestra can hear each other, they play better. If they play better and there’s a tangible feeling between the orchestra and the audience, if they feel each other, the audience responds and the orchestra feels it.
Today, if you do put out a record on a label, traditionally, most people are going to hear it via a leak that happens two weeks – if not two months – before it comes out. There’s no real way around that.
Many, many years ago, I was one of the few conductors who talked to the audience and now a lot of classical conductors have figured it out… otherwise, you just get the back of someone’s head playing music you could hear on a CD. It’s not enough anymore.

In the two novels I have published, it was my fortune at different times, and from different persons, to hear the most unqualified censure long before it was possible for me to hear the voice of the public. But my temper was not altered, nor my courage subdued.

We were playing, not for the drunks, but for the musicians, because it was more intellectually challenging. We needed somewhere to put our energy to show that we were growing, and as we started to achieve this, people came to hear us musically.
You always hear people say, ‘I just want to live comfortably.’ And I’m like, ‘What does that mean?’

People sometimes say that bands sound like The Cars, but when I hear it I don’t know if they do or not.
I always tell up-and-coming DJs you have to really love what you do and find that interest to drive you. It requires so much attention to detail, and it takes up a lot of your time. You hear a song, and there are so many little pieces that make that song work. It requires a lot of patience, diligence and resilience.
Hear reason, or she’ll make you feel her.
Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.

I like to hear about what people do. That’s more interesting than talking about what the hell I do.

We have to defeat them on the battlefield and in the marketplace of ideals. And PBS, I believe, owed the nation the chance to hear the moderate Muslim voices who decry terrorism and Jihadism, and they didn’t give them that chance, and that’s a terrible thing.
Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don’t like, it’s always by Villa-Lobos?
