🎤 David Bowie: If it itches, play it

At the end David Bowie’s 1999 Berkeley commencement speech this stood out to me:

Music has given me over 40 years of extraordinary experiences. I can’t say that life’s pains or more tragic episodes have been diminished because of it but it has allowed me so many moments of companionship when I’ve been lonely and a sublime means of communication when I wanted to touch people.

It’s been both my doorway of perception and the house that I live in. I only hope that it embraces you with the same lusty life force that it graciously offered me. Thank you very much and remember: If it itches, play it.
