I'm just one of these unpopular musicians.

My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.
Trump might become deeply unpopular in the way that I, with some people, am deeply unpopular, but that doesn't mean that we don't get things done. You can be unpopular and successful.
Musicians like to converse. There's always interesting conversation with musicians - with classical musicians, with jazz musicians, musicians in general.
One is not unpopular because he uses peculiar expressions; that just so happens; such terms become a fad, and by and by everybody, down to the last simpleton, uses them. But a person who follows through an idea in his mind is, and always will be, essentially unpopular. That is why Socrates was unpopular, though he did not use any special terms, for to grasp and hold his 'ignorance' requires greater vital effort than understanding the whole of Hegel's philosophy.
Musicians are affected by the audience just as much as audiences are affected by the musicians. The only problem is that often times musicians won't allow themselves to admit to that fact.

I know it is unpopular. I know the timing is unpopular. I know the whole thing is unpopular. But I believe it is the right thing.
To all musicians - forget gender - to all musicians, it's about - do what makes you happy. Just go for it, you know?
I just felt like women love musicians, so I thought that we should become musicians. It'll help my dating life.
I feel like musicians have such a precarious place in the political discourse, because musicians are, sort of just by nature, people-pleasers.
I wish I was less good-looking and more unpopular. Then I could get into politics and use my pent-up resentment about being ugly and unpopular to systematically destroy the country.
Being unpopular is never easy; but being unpopular in a good cause is a shield against despair.
Congress is unpopular. Incumbents are unpopular.
If you drop a channel, you're incredibly unpopular, and if you pass along a rate increase, you're incredibly unpopular.
I always tell people that, just to be a bad jazz musician, you have to be better than most musicians. The worst jazz musicians are normally better than most musicians, because you have to know so much.
