You obviously don't really forget how to play the old songs; you just don't have to spend so much time convincing yourself that you remember them. Way less mental energy is spent swimming around in lyrics you've already written and chords you've already played.
From Jeff Tweedy
I don't think you can be good in life without acknowledging the part of you that isn't good.
I was never at my best when I was at my worst. When I did do good stuff in the past, it was because I was able to transcend the parts of my being that weren't healthy.
I don't believe every download is a lost sale.
Even when I don't think I'm writing, I'm writing. There's some part of my brain geared toward making songs up, and I know it's collecting things and I know when I get a moment to be by myself, that's when they come out.
I've been obsessed with seeing life through music. My records, my relationship with records, my relationship with rock stars, everything that surrounds it, has been really one of the only ways that I ever started to understand the world.
I guess I don't think there's any reason to feel guilty about having joy in your life, regardless of how bad things are in the world.
We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.
I always found the concept of a tortured artist distasteful.
Treating your audience like thieves is absurd. Anyone who chooses to listen to our music becomes a collaborator.
