“I think that live music is really pretentious - all of it. I hate festivals and live shows, because as soon as I get on stage, I start performing for people and it becomes about sex, banter, and skill. They're looking at me and not thinking about themselves.

Not even me.” PeopleThinkingHateStupidMusic IsI HatePerformingPretentiousReally Stupid Author:Willis Earl Beal
