starting to trying to be a musician or artist--something like that--because you wanna make money, because you wanna do a job, that's- that's the wrong way. you have to do this because you love it. and it doesn't matter if you broke, you still gon' do it. i mean, i go out to jam sessions, and i play regardless of whether i'm getting a check or not. it's-, it's about whether i, uh--you have to love this thing, man! you have to love it and breathe it and--it's your morning coffee. it's your food. that's why you become an artist. art is a mirror of society, you know.
