Famous quotes by John Fahey:

"Everybody else was just trying to copy folk musicians, I wasn't trying to do that."

"See my father knew a lot about music, he played the piano and he would do theory and stuff like that, but I didn't learn anything from him, but I played that for him and he liked it a lot."

"So what I do is this - when I go to the venue, I become the entertainer John Fahey."

"Most musicians I know cannot open up."

"I just want to be treated like an average guy."

"In fact, I would go so far as to say that I am playing emotions and expressing them in a coherent public language called music."

"Being worshipped is a horrible experience."

"I do not even laugh at this like others do because the relationship between entertainers and groupies is pathological."

"As for the source of the music, I believe it comes from the unconscious; that there is no such thing as talent."

"The other thing in composition is opening up the unconscious."

"How can I be a folk? I'm from the suburbs you know."

"So I learnt a few country western songs, I bought a chord book, and right away I started writing my own stuff, which nobody else did that, I don't know why."

"Well folks, that's about it for the show tonight."

"Early Bluegrass is my favorite kind of music, not to many people know that."

"I was using them as teachers for technique but I was never trying to be a folk."

"I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head."

"Well when I made my first record I thought it would be a good joke to have me on one side, have the lable say John Fahey on one side, and this guy Blind Joe Death on the other side."

"As soon as the groupie finds out that you make errors in everyday life like everybody else does and that you are human, they turn on you and hate you."

"Well I was on the one hand, the more I played the guitar the more I began to really love the guitar and to love virtually any kind of music that anybody played well on guitar."

"I thought I'd be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don't forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing."
