"There are a lot of things that can go wrong on the road. If you get sick, you still play, but people think you are losing your edge. If you have half a house, people don't feel that they are part of something. If you don't have a great crew, your shit doesn't sound right. If you don't have the best equipment, your show may not sound as great as the last one or the next one. If you have a reputation, it is on the line. If you forget what you are doing, it shows up on YouTube. If you remember what you're doing, it shows up on YouTube. If you do something new that isn't ready, or something old that you screw up, it is on YouTube. If snot comes out of your nose while you are playing the harmonica and slithers down the harmonica rack onto your T-shirt, it is on YouTube. If you say something stupid..." - Neil Young
(Neil is working on a sound system that will vastly improve the quality of downloaded music. He is known mostly for his work with Buffalo Springfield which had a debut album in 1966, and then as the Y in Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.)
