Hi REN was my first introduction to this man and his music and more importantly to his struggles which were tremendous. I watched as an artist beautifully and creatively gave a performance that so brilliantly illustrated many of the struggles I have been through myself.  He gave voice to two opposing and conflicting entities I have felt within myself and his speach at the communicated the hope I have felt which has given my life new meaning after my own battles with all that I have battled with. I am a recovering artist, trying to achieve some level of success and this symbol has come to mean Hope to me.
