"I did learn eventually - perhaps far too late - to respect the talent I have. For a lot of years out..." — Mark Knopfler

There happened to be guitar classes at the college, and there was a guitar teacher there with whom I used to play. In addition, I also would go out into country schools and teach little kids basic guitar and singing a few times a week.

The music just tends to be a vehicle for that poetry.

I don't know whether your heart ever necessarily changes, but time changes the way that you perceive the world. And you just hope it gives you more empathy and all those other things.
