More Quotes from Jeff Tweedy:
We never could understand what the problem was with people listening to your music. I thought that was the whole point.Jeff Tweedy
A piece of art is not a loaf of bread. When someone steals a loaf of bread from the store, that's it. The loaf of bread is gone. When someone downloads a piece of music, it's just data until the listener puts that music back together with their own ears, their mind, their subjective experience. How they perceive your work changes your work.
