Music quote: performing live

I've not been particularly inspired as of late. However, to maintain at least some momentum in my blog, I shall supplement it with deep and insightful quotes -- of which I have a fair store.

ON PERFORMING:

“You see, son, people ain’t looking for the meaning of life. What they want is an experience of bein’ alive. [...] You gots to sing like you don’t need the money and dance like ain’t nobody watchin’.”
(from pg. 112 of The Gutbucket Quest (2000) by Piers Anthony and Ron Leming; found 1/5/05)

This is an enjoyable book, by the way -- particularly if you are a blues fan, and/or a musician.
