There's no way that if you get participation out of a person can they say you didn't rock it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did not want to get involved with a rock star. No way. It is not a sane thing to do.
I mean, there's a hell of a lot of grounds for protest, but you don't do it through music.
If you set a tone that you don't want people to be part of your team, they don't join.
And I thought that was the best way for me to participate, because standing in the crowd and listening is a fantastic education, but it's not my nature. I need to be involved. So I did that instead.
You can't force something like that. But we have encouraged our audience, because we avoid the confrontation of regular rock concerts: us up here, you down there. Instead, we're looking for interaction.
You get to a certain age and you just want to prove that you can still rock - that you've still got it.
Conflict cannot survive without your participation.
If you truly dig what you are doing, if you lay it out that way, nobody can not respond. That's what rock and roll is; it's relentless.
It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience.
I don't think you should do something just to prove to an audience that you can do it, that's way out of your wheelhouse.
