About this Quote

This quote by Jerry Only speaks to the importance of artistic integrity and creative liberty. He is recommending that the focus should not be on the number of tickets can be sold, but rather on where the band wants to play. This implies that the band is not motivated by cash, but rather by the desire to create and perform in places that they discover meaningful. This is a rejuvenating viewpoint in an industry that is often driven by monetary gain. It suggests that the band is more interested in creating art and connecting with their fans than in earning a profit. This quote talks to the significance of remaining true to one's creative vision and not compromising for the sake of monetary gain. It is a tip that art need to be produced for its own sake, and not for the purpose of earning money.
