Syracuse - Phil Collen Interview Quotes
Politics And Music
"I think it's really important in this day and age to be positive during an election season. It's important to have music be an escape from TV and hate-spewing rhetoric. Music is a chance to get away from all that."
Being A Vegetarian
"We've been all raw in the last month, with unprocessed, uncooked food; it makes you feel amazing," he said. "You get so much clarity in your thinking. It makes all the difference in the world."
