And it's kind of a risk, but I like it like that.

And I'm not cheating. It's in the back. It's perfect.

You're talking about fashion? Really, you?

Passion... politics...

Thanks, Lightning.

That is what I need for my characters in my books a passionate heart.

Doesn't matter if you make rock, if you make hip hop if you make house music

No. Not exactly.

(Applause)

Lightning Boy and Blind Dog.

Look at King of the beats you will soon find out how sincere and how real we are 4orce has got high energy

They are doing it because of one motivation only.

Otherwise they don't come and talk to you.

Of course!

Let's see if you can get this one. Audience

What's the matter with you, Lightning?

Eloquent, passionate.

Baby... the passion is in the risk.

Somewhere hidden in the physical gestures, the vocal cadence, the facial expressions, the eye contact, the passion, the kind of awkward, British body language, the sense of how the audience are reacting, there are hundreds of subconscious clues that go to how well you will understand, and whether you're inspired

And I couldn't. I could not.

She never missed a day of school, K 12.

You heard what the lady said, Lightning Boy.

With unbridled passion.

Passion is at the centre of my work.

That's the point. The way fashion's never finished.

But it's the best music making, like this.

It's really scary to be here among the smartest of the smart.

Grades are an illusion.

Well, I have an interest.

Art and literature have always been my passions.

Well, I have an interest.

Melt away my cold mind

But it's not only about that.

I go around Latin America from Buenos Aires to Brasília and to Montevideo, La Paz.

And the heat.

(Laughter)

There they are in the school fields, but it's good and evil, and passion and hashish.

It doesn't work for me to go on with this thing, with such a wide gulf between those who understand,

I got on stage and he gave me a hundred bucks.
