Much responsibility rests upon the shoulders of the song leader; it is not infrequently within his power to make or break a meeting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Somebody has to take responsibility for being a leader.
I believe musicians have a duty, a responsibility to reach out, to share your love or pain with others.
A leader must be a good listener. He must be willing to take counsel. He must show a genuine concern and love for those under his stewardship.
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
I don't think it's an artist's responsibility to be political all the time. I think your first responsibility as an artist is to make music that people will listen to and enjoy. However, I think that when you are able to say something that is moving and put it in a great song, then that is even better.
Leadership - leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.
Music bears a great responsibility because it is so influential. Everybody listens to music. It is a very influential tool. To me, it is very important to the world... music is... to being... to life.
We have to be responsible in what we say as leaders.
I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.
The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.
