Boxes Quotes
The musicians are in these 8-foot-by-8-foot boxes with kind of a 70-percent screen on them, and they are covered on all four sides with lights inside of the boxes. You can only see them if they light up from the inside. Sometimes there are video projections on the boxes, so you don't see the whole show and you are totally relying on your ears. I use headphones more on this tour than I ever have because I can't see exactly what they are playing. I've never had to mix blind like that. They'll start off visible, then the lighting changes and they can't see each other either. They are playing strictly off of trust and vibe.

Afraid Quotes
You might try then, as I did, to find a sky so full of stars it will blind you again. Only no sky can blind you now. Even with all that iridescent magic up there, your eye will no longer trace constellations. Youll care only about the darkness and youll watch it for hours, for days, maybe even for years, trying in vain to believe youre some kind of indispensable universe-appointed sentinel, as if just by looking you could actually keep it all at bay. It will get so bad youll be afraid to look away, youll be afraid to sleep.

Braille Quotes
About 20 to 30 years ago, you exclusively got exposure from the radio, ... These are some pretty interesting times to be around. I was very close friends with Ray Charles. We had a common love of technology in making records, and compared notes on how it was done. I wanted to be involved as a blind person, with Braille and synthetic speech. You do what your heart tells you to do.

Arms Quotes
Then who are we, the blind ones and the blind folded, that do not know if we are on the side of the edge or not, but yet we run full of hope believing that we can finally embrace the infinite that runs away from us just like the horizon line that we would like to embrace with our arms full of vain hopes?

Human Nature Quotes
It's sort of a study in the human nature of how things like this can happen and how turning a blind eye on the subject allowed baseball to recover in the late '90s and 2000 with the offensive explosion. And now, how the right steps have been taken by the players' association and the commissioner's office to totally cleanse the game.

Address Quotes
It's criminal that we turn a blind eye to poverty. The solutions are multidimensional. You have to deal with health care, housing, jobs, education, crime and social justice. Ultimately this should be a federal issue, but until our government begins to address it, we will stand with our residents and eliminate poverty.

Across Quotes
Skeptical retailers eyeing fluctuations in the financial market and the increasing failure rates of Internet companies are often blind to the most important issue - specifically, the degree to which their online efforts will affect their off-line business. Online consumers are a very powerful audience and tend to be channel-agnostic. And as consumers increase their use of the Internet, the opportunity for the Web to influence their online and off-line shopping behavior grows. Simply put, businesses must integrate across channels.

Baton Quotes
I'm in Houston right now, getting ready to go to a farm in Lake Charles. I left my mom and my grandmother and her blind friend in a hotel lobby in Baton Rouge, so I've got to get them up to the farm. I grabbed my guitar, my dog and my girlfriend and got out. That was all I could do. I've got nothing left besides a little cash in my back pocket. It will take months for me to figure out a semblance of what to do.

Becomes Quotes
In the past, information was presented as black text on white paper. As the world becomes more and more computer dependent, particularly in classrooms and in offices, not being able to easily differentiate between colors becomes more of a liability. Students can be left behind their classmates, and career advancement can be thwarted-all due to the challenges a color blind person faces trying to interpret colors on a computer screen.

Delegate Quotes
If you were lucky, you could delegate that kind of work away. But if not, and you couldn't get at the underlying text of what you wanted to do, you were out of luck. And that was the frustration many blind people ran into. Then the only way a blind person could do the work was to hire a sighted person as a reader to help run the machine.

Andrew Quotes
I didn't know anything else but growing up with a blind person in the house. When we found out Andrew was blind, we had 20 minutes of mourning and feeling sorry for ourselves, and then we said, 'Look at my brother.' I knew what was ahead. I knew he was going to be just a regular member of the family.
