"People say, ‘Oh it’s a money grab.’ But those opinions are coming from people who aren’t working musicians. Musicians work really hard to get wherever you can get. And for every time you get paid a boatful of money, there’s a hundred times you were paid virtually nothing. It’s like someone saying, ‘You don’t have the right to go up there on a stage and sing your songs.’ My response would, be, ‘Go fuck yourself.’ Are we making more money? Yeah. But it’s not because we’re demanding more money. It’s because the patrons have converted other patrons. We’re going to fly first class and stay in a nice hotel and people are gonna carry my guitars for me. Maybe someone’s who’s really uptight and has as lot of revolution in their soul might have a problem with that. But I’m in fuckin’ show business, man; I don’t work for the Peace Corps. I don’t have anything against people who work in the Peace Corps; God bless em. But that’s not what I do or who I am. It has everything to do with entertainment and art and show business."
