I have to figure out a way to show how raunchy blues music can be a religious experience.

It puts you in a place, ... You might call it the most religious experience you could ever have. You're out there with God.

They log a lot of miles and have a lot of experience. When you are a car driver, you may have kids in the back, you may have a lot of other distractions going on in the vehicle that might pull you away from being able to judge a situation.

Our religious institutions have far too often become handmaidens of the status quo, while the genuine religious experience is anything but that. True religion is by nature disruptive of what has been, giving birth to the eternally new.

About a year ago I had what I consider a very religious experience. I took LSD, a full dose of LSD, and later, another time, I took a smaller dose. And I learned a lot of things, like patience, understanding. I can't teach you or tell you what I learned from taking it, but I consider it a very religious experience.

Work is a substitute religious experience for many workaholics.
