Franz Kafka: "Don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical - don’t edit your soul according to fashion - follow your own most intense obsessions mercilessly"
Woody Guthrie: "It’s a Folk Singer’s job to comfort disturbed people & to disturb comfortable people" Lou Reed: “I have never thought of music as a challenge — always figure the audience is at least as smart as you are. Do this because you like it, you think what you’re making is beautiful. And if you think it’s beautiful, maybe they think it’s beautiful.”
