“Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or...” — John Frusciante Quote

Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn't sound good to me.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.
