All the high-tone, big-time folks would say, isn't it wonderful how these untrained, primitive musicians can pick up all the latest songs instantly without being able to read music?”
“If Jesus were living in our culture, he would probably hang out in coffeehouses.”
“A value is like a fax machine: itâ€™s not much use if youâ€™re the only one who has one.”
