oh and this part singled out as quote in NPR text:
"When you've been around for a while and
you've created, essentially, a brand, that has a
certain level of expectation. And it encourages you to
not color outside the lines if you pay too much attention to what you expect that fan base wants from you. I think many,
many artists have suffered an artistic death by doing just that."
either TR and LB have very similar thoughts about all this (parallel lines
), or TR listened to too many of LB interviews and stage talks and picked up most of the way of expressing this, or LB kept feeding him his usual lines while playing guitar that whole day.
or probably none of the above and many artists agree with these exact thoughts, but i'm just so used to hearing LB expressing them.
