How often does a rock-musician fight temptation?
EDWARDS: “There always is temptation. My starting point is that I am not able to resist it. I was raised in a church where dancing was a no-no, and women were not allowed to use make-up or wear pants. Those rules, they are fading now, are based on fear: fear of men to be tempted and never to be redeemed by God for punishment. Nobody is proof against temptation. The only thing you see is that people are sublimating it, by working hard or creating something beautiful, even thought that is nothing more then giving into something else that is also powerful. Even when you do say: ‘I won’t do this because I love my wife’, or ‘I love my job’, – it is hard not to give in. I am failing too.
