00:04 You consider this music as a weapon?
00:07 [drumming]
00:09 Sometimes we do use the music as a weapon
00:12 against man's inhumanity toward man.

00:17 Everything I wrote and recorded had to do with the movement.
00:21 It was a new political feeling among the guys,
00:26 and Max exemplified that.
00:29 He was one of the people redefining what the music is going to be in every decade.
00:33 He was never resting on his laurel.
00:35 Max and those guys were always about that new and that next thing.
00:40 He made us all understand that there are no boundaries.
00:43 There are no boundaries in human experience,
00:45 there are no boundaries in music.
00:47 He wasn't trying to be anything. He was already here.
