LAWRENCE VON DADA; LEAGUE OF REAL DADA;FUCK EGO

LAwrence VOn dada

SURVIVE:...
FUCK EGO is my MESSAGE on THE STREETS :...bringing so much LOVE in DADA to the victims of their own ego...and realy make them love..most of all the machos...they big time know that they are a bloody victim of their picture they pose...inside most of them are so kind....
No wounder are so many women more men...acting in pure egodecision...and spit in cynicism on the real female living forgiving men....pure DADA...there is no reason to divide...there is a reason to unite...so I tell the shit no one is telling oneself...cause of fear of the need for a change to please one selfs soul....
who is really treating his soul..nice???
Not many ...but more artists and musicians ...seeing the difference from inside...
so I just repeat it once more
God bless the real harmless and the real poor...the happy and the humble who try their best...
and FUCK EGO
LOVE LIGHT WISDOM

For me this quote/idea is the hardest when you think you know it all, especially about music!

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
