I fought with the heads of arts councils to get an extra 500 bucks for duplication.

I remember it all.

If I'm not around to advocate for the music, what good is it?

Sure, some kid might find folk songs of the best country to secondhand shop and play it for his friends while they're stoned.

Okay, great.

Doesn't mean they understand it or give a shit about where it came from.

If I can't be there to tell people what it's really about, what good is it?

It's still music at the end of the day.

I'll say it loud and clear for your recorder.

The answer is no.

Okay.

Look, Mal, I don't mean to be so pig-headed about it.

I've enjoyed our chat.

You should come back whenever you'd like.

I'm always happy to talk music.

I would recommend you get out and hear more stuff.
