mmmkay so on the rrhof thing he said something like 2 much freedom leads to the minds decay..souls decay...somethin like that...yet wasn't that the exact thing he was fightin for durin the 90s? freedom? someone help me out

Yep, he was fighting for it...although I found myself believing that he came to learn that he needed more than "freedom" to find contentment and happiness. He needed spiritual and soulful guidance...freedom alone, I'm guessing, led him into directions and decisions which ultimately did not benefit his spirit. I felt as if he was saying once he found that guidance for his soul, he was better able to use his hard-won freedom to his advantage.

Just a guess...

That might explain why he went back to a major for distribution of his music.

He's being misunderstood. He's not talking about religion there. He's talkin politics.

All he was doing was giving his support to the Patriot Act.
