Quote #38

'That's the magic of this band: shooting from the hip. The lights have to follow our cues, because we're not going to follow their cues. We're not going to stick to a song the way it's supposed to be. Everything is up to us. That's music to me. That's American music. We're an American band.' -- Dave Matthews, Rolling Stone interview 'The Boys of Summer' (June 16, 2005). Eliscu, Jenny (2005). 'The Boys of Summer' Rolling Stone (accessed June 19. 2006)
