Good Music Is Good No Matter What

Do Not Be Afraid Of Errors. There Are No Errors.

Anybody Can Play. The Note Is Only 20 Percent. The Attitude Of The Motherfucker Who Plays It Is 80 Percent.

A Lot Of People Ask Me Where Music Is Going Today. I Think It's Going In Short Phrases. If You Listen, Anybody With An Ear Can Hear That. Music Is Always Changing. It Changes Because Of The Times And The Technology That's Available, The Material That Things Are Made Of, Like Plastic Cars Instead Of Steel. So When You Hear An Accident Today It Sounds Different, Not All The Metal Colliding Like It Was In The Forties And Fifties. Musicians Pick Up Sounds And Incorporate That Into Their Playing, So The Music That They Make Will Be Different.

We're Not Going To Play The Blues Anymore. Let The White Folks Play The Blues. They Got 'em, So They Can Keep 'em.

Some Musicians Play With Their Heart, You Know What I Mean? I Don't Know What To Tell A Person That Can't - If You Can't Tell A Person What You're Talkin' About When They're Rushin' Or Droppin' The Tempo, You Get Somebody Else.
