“One thing I do know is that over-compressed music is distorted music and distortion has an introduction of harmonic frequencies that absolutely create an inurement and inability to discern certain sounds and basically make people deaf. Bottom line, new music is over-compressed, ultra-distorted, and even at low levels, will create deafness. And it's a scientifically proven, and that means we've got this entire generation…Somehow I feel like with all the internet and the attention disorder that we discussed, we’re synthesizing into new human beings. ‘Something is happening here but, you don't know what it is.’ That's to quote an old Bob Dylan song. ‘...do you, Mr. Jones?’ And there's always something happening, and you don't know what it is.”
