Most people don't think that. Most people equate spirituality with sitting on a mountaintop being quiet and meditating. But that doesn't do a tinker's damn to change the world. The really spiritual people are the string people and the people who are willing to lay themselves on the line with their message. But there's such a stigma around spirituality in America today.
People are mixed.
They want to talk about it, but not too much. Yeah, people equate spirituality with Shirley MacLaine, being out on a limb and kooky extremism. Even though Shirley's very cool. I mean, I don't have a problem with it, but when she starts talking about, you know, Barbra Streisand's astrological chart on the Golden Globes, people automatically assume she's out of her fucking mind. But, you know, I have the luxury of being able to say a lot of things that most performers wouldn't be able to say.
