Awesome Hancock Quote For The Day

(heard on a radio interview a couple of weeks ago; generously paraphrased, naturally):

You play to please yourself. Even if the audience takes fifteen or twenty years to understand your music, so be it.

It's been over 20 years since Rockit, and I still don't understand it.

On the other hand I'm waiting for delivery of his new Joni tribute. I heard some of it online and it was brilliant.

Rahul: "Rockit" was just...fun... nothing to understand :) I still remember being mesmerized by the video.

Scout: That'd be Herbie Hancock, not JOHN Hancock. We are not *that* old.

TR: Amen.
