Music for me is almost a subconscious release of energy out to the world. It's a way for people to interact with a lot more intimacy and honesty than traditional forms of communcation. It is craft, catharsis, extasis, peace and joy.
To just keep making music until I die. Keep writing, recording, producing, collaborating and performing.
Ignorance in humans and the fear that originates from that ignorance. I would inject empathy into every human soul and find a way to rid people of any form of prejudice or preconceived notions. Make them value facts and science.

Nervous (laughs). Excited. Anxious. And then incredibly happy and relaxed.

It's a great platform. Very creative and well executed. They certainly know how to engage their users.
Not being able to live off of it. Also, people who talk loudly in the middle of an acoustic performance (laughs).
I buy local bands' CDs, support workshops, share and publicize as much as I can.
Musicians can have more control over every single aspect of the production chain: from writing to streaming the final product. In fact, every musician should know the basics of all of these steps: recording, producing, marketing (a lot of this), distributing and selling.
