Or consciousness, to use your term.

I think the consciousness exists. If you check out the majority of songs on my album, you will hear the consciousness. Awareness, love, spirituality, good vibrations will always override anything materialistic, anything that deals with your lower self. So the consciousness and awareness? I’m saying, “I see the blue sky, say the Lord’s coming through.” I say on that song, “Given what I ask, pure religion and cash / From the windows that open, I’m raising my glass.” That’s like saying, man, ask and you shall receive. That’s a spiritual reference. And I’m saying pure religion, I want the pure religion. And the cash. You know, nobody said that you shouldn’t live well.

What about the eye of the needle?

Yeah, I mean, that definitely exists, but that’s up to the individual to say, hey, I have achieved in life and I’m gonna take the things that I have gotten and make sure that I don’t put that before my values and my spirituality. The Bible says it’s hard for a rich man to reach the kingdom. But it doesn’t say it can’t be done.

Wow… That was interesting right?

AMC’s Hell on Wheels premiered November 6 at 9pm.
