Mike Doughty Quotes

1.
It's tragic that extremists co-opt the notion of God, and that hipsters and artists reject spirituality out of hand. I don't have a fixed idea of God. But I feel that it's us - the messed-up, the half-crazy, the burning, the questing - that need God, a lot more than the goody-two-shoes do.

My own experience with that brief moment where I had videos on MTV was that nothing was ever good enough. When you hear people say, "I was unhappy the whole time," that sounds ridiculous. I think this is a theme among people who seek fame, not just musicians. There are a lot of bitter, disappointed people.

In terms of getting super successful, every once in a while, something very different gets successful and than everything that comes after is kind of like it, maybe. That's what happened with Nirvana, which was so out there and changed everything, and then so much after became imitative of them.
