Jon Spencer – The Line of Best Fit: “The Heart of How Rock n Roll Works”

“For many years, I worked day jobs. But music was my passion. I never set myself up in a situation where whether or not I could make music, play in a band, release a record, or go play in a concert was predicated on somebody else. I always paid for things myself, or we paid for it from the money we made from concerts. I’ve always been fiercely independent. Never been beholden to any label. Any decision we made has been on our own. It’s very much punk in that way. Very much D.I.Y.”

TheLineofBestFit.com have just published a new interview with Jon Spencer titled “The Heart of How Rock n Roll Works“.

Spin.com: Jon Spencer Explains How To Survive a Blues Explosion

Great art is something that transcends time.
It’s not that I’m in a band because I chose this as a career. I did this because I was in love with rock’n’roll, and there are bands and records that just totally blew my mind. I wanna leave behind some sort of similar, weird artifact.”
