I just happen to comprehend the low standards of the majority of the music-buying public, and I don’t care how condescending that sounds, it’s true. They always go for the shiny gimmicks. Always.

About This Quote

Musicians and bands should never allow the listener to be talked down to simply because they aren’t as well-versed as the person praising them. They should not feel that they need to satisfy those listening by playing all of those obligatory pop songs that are constantly played on the radio. Music should be about the music, not about the money. If you like what you hear, then there is nothing to stop you from buying their albums and even paying for their concert if you so desire.
