Quotes from the Episode
“Recorded songs are a business card now—you go, this is what I do. The music's not the commodity anymore.”
“Tradition is just peer pressure from people no longer around. If it ain't a tradition that suits you, then why do you have to continue it?”
“Sometimes you leave things behind and friends come and go, but the best ones don't mind.”
You can't buy it back—maybe cash isn't everything. Maybe you should do what you love and affect the people around you in a positive way.
