"I'm like, 'Would you be the person in the room that would boo when Dylan went electric? I know I wouldn't. Or are you the person that left The Beatles after 'She Loves You,' or 'Drive My Car?' You weren't on board for 'Revolution 9' or 'Day In The Life,' were you?'"

- Regina Spektor

About this Quote

In this quote, Regina Spektor is questioning the loyalty and objectivity of her audience. She compares them to individuals who notoriously booed Bob Dylan when he switched from acoustic to electrical music, or those who stopped listening to The Beatles after their early hits like "She Loves You" and "Drive My Car." She then asks if her audience would also decline her for try out various designs and noises, such as the progressive "Revolution 9" or the speculative "Day In The Life." By using these examples, Spektor challenges her audience to be available to new and various types of art, rather than adhering to what is familiar and comfortable.
