We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I had never been there either and didn't really know what the expect, but the interior is insane -- like a Japanese kabuki theatre, the ceiling in the main theatre is the night sky with these little lights that fade in and out...great atmosphere for a concert!
