Quote for the Day:
"A great song has to make you feel a certain way.
Songs can make you happy or sad, they can help you fall in love.
They have to do something. That's when you get a reaction.
There are songs on the radio that just play, and you don't even know they are there. You hear others, and immediately turn it up.
There's something to that. It's got to capture your ears, because that's where it hits you first.
Then it's got to soothe your soul.
