About Mick Jagger and Keith Richards’ quote on playing…

Mick and Keith, about going out and play (2005):
Mick: “You go out there and put yourself on the line and you make sure you’re as good as you can possibly be. You don’t fuck about, and you don’t rest on your laurels. You just give the best show you can – even if you feel terrible, you’ve got a cold, your back’s aching and all that crap. You do it because you are putting yourself on the line and those people have paid good money to see you, and you better be bloody good.”
Keith: “The fact that you’ve done it many times before doesn’t mean you can’t make the next one better. And that’s exactly what this band goes out there to do – If you thought that was good, we can do it better next time… I’d have never thought it in the early days, but we’re actually dedicated, man. I can’t put another word on it. If we’re going to do it, we’d better do it better than ever.”
