Quotation of the Week 08/06/08: Ben Folds

“White people don't sing together very often, and when they do, it's about the celebrity of the song. The singing at my shows is all about harmony.”
-Ben Folds

It's sad to me that so many people don't appreciate music unless they are familiar with it. The "celebrity" of a song, not the beauty of the melody and harmony, is what makes people want to hear it. I love those moments when music is there simply for the sheer enjoyment of something good.
