John Wesley Harding – HuffPost 10.28.11

Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

John Wesley Harding: Don’t leave your wallet in the dressing room.

MR: Past experience?

JWH: Many times. (laughs) It’s a lesson I’m still trying to learn.

MR: Do you have any other words of wisdom?

JWH: I actually thought of one of these the other day and I can’t remember now what it was. I think it’s similar to if you’re in music or anything really for any other reason than the pleasure of doing it, you will be disappointed. If you really believe in what you’re doing and your ulterior motive is not fame or money, then it will be its own reward and you will never be unhappy doing what you do.
