“We’ve all tried to be dorks deliberately. We’re not cool guys. We don’t care about being cool. Being hot. Getting lots of chicks. And doing all the cool things that only Lou Reed or Iggy Pop would have done. So many people are so f—-ing concerned with being so cool. And all the bands that get popular are so cool. That’s why we have always strived to be the biggest dorks we could possibly be. There are so many kids out there—so many people like us when we were kids—who love music, and also love baseball, and also love movies. They don’t care what the cool clothes are. They don’t care what the cool haircut is.”

“We always wanted to make a live record that will stand the test of time, because nobody lives forever. I’m so glad that lots of my favorite artists made live records that documented what they were all about at certain ages and points in their careers. Once people are gone, those things are so valuable.”

Monday Morning Jacket - Steam Engine (Ending)
Bonnaroo 2004

One of the most moving performances you’ll probably ever see. MMJ in the rain.  This shit will make you feel alive.

I know people who were at this show (and 08) and they claim the rain almost picked up and slowed down with the music. Crazy.

“If you want to try to make a living playing music, obviously that involves trying to make some money and paying your bills. But we’re a flawed society. I think capitalism has really fucked us in that we care more about money than we do each other. I think if we really cared about each other, we’d have a lot of problems solved and it would be a lot easier to be a musician or artist because you could be taken care of if that was the right life role for you. Instead, we’re taught to chase the almighty dollar and do whatever we can to get that dollar even if it means fucking over people. Our whole health care industry and insurance industry – all of these industries that just prey on people and have no regard for human life or human safety – I feel like the whole system needs to be turned inside out, and we need to make sure everyone gets enough instead of just a few people getting everything. It’s just a flawed system.”

“I was originally in Riverdance, and they saw I had rhythm and that I could use my feet. I applied my Riverdance techniques to the drum set and they were like, ‘Wow, would you come play?’ And I told ‘em no, made ‘em fester for about a year. Then they asked me again and I said yes.”
