Experience Quotes
Cody and Luther were kids in high school who used to come to the juke joint and sit in the corner, petrified of interacting. But I didn't look at Junior and R.L. as giant heroes of the blues.

This is a festival of found objects. Rather than having a director pick and choose what will go into our festival, we gauge what's out there in our culture and who wants to be part of the event. Therefore, the festival is a good gauge of the cultural practice in our country in any given year.

Amazing Quotes
There's been a lot of development in the neighborhood, a lot of gentrification, a lot of artists have been forced out, a lot of venues have been closed down, and we really wanted to assert the fact that we're still here and there's still amazing stuff going on down here. The festival is simultaneously looking back at this great cultural legacy, but looking forward because we want to create opportunities for the next generation of visionaries to flourish right here.

Bright Quotes
It's a funny thing about cities: Some have brief, bright moments of cultural and political dominance, decades- or centuries-long spells when they seem the center of their particular nation, or region, or empire... only to later fall into obscurity and disrepair, never to regain their former glory.

Amazing Quotes
It's pretty crazy. I was thinking about that today, how 'True Blood' has penetrated so much of the cultural zeitgeist. It's truly amazing; it's incredible! The cover of 'Rolling Stone' is major.
